Another cape crusader, Rosie selected a revealing white Balmain Resort 2015 dress with black belt for the Coca-Cola Life Launch event in London. Mason Stanley rings and snakeskin Giuseppe Zanotti ankle strap sandals wrapped up the look. Kim opted for a much more graphic interpretation at last month’s MTV Video Music Awards. Her boldly beaded Balmain with equally plunging neckline was capped off by the fashion house’s black woven shoes. Does this structured dress work better in basic black and white or emblazoned with colorful embellishments?
