Maria Lucia Hohan's Artemis is one of those dresses you don't forget. It's a discontinued style, no longer in production, in the cupcake colorway: a creamy ivory that's so stunning.

The silhouette is romantic but not precious: delicate spaghetti straps, lace trim at a sweetheart neckline, a heavily pleated and ruched boned bodice, and a full flowing silk skirt with a subtle train. Somewhere between Greek goddess and Old Hollywood, but with enough structure to feel modern.
Wearing it feels like almost nothing at all. It's 100% silk mousseline, so weightless it borders on ethereal, while the boning holds you in a way that feels sculpted and supported rather than structured. Think Swan Lake: balletic and romantic, but with a high slit and a body-skimming fit that keeps it firmly in the realm of sexy. One of those dresses where you feel as beautiful as you look.

MLH is a Romanian-French label with serious red-carpet credentials. Beyoncé wore the brand in Lemonade, and Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, and Rihanna have all been spotted in her designs.
I bought this alongside the dress I ended up wearing to my own wedding. It was too small for me, the only reason it's here. If it had fit, I'd have kept it without a second thought!
