I loved this one as well.

I can’t find a good picture, and wouldn’t know how to post it, but Sasha Obama wearing a lovely gown at a White House event really struck me as beautiful. Sasha is a lovely young lady, and seeing pictures of her in the very age-appropriate gown felt as though she had grown up overnight. I also admired her poise and enthusiasm in the pictures with her sister Malia. As an effervescent teenager, Sasha took a dress I probably would not have looked twice at, and transformed it into something delightful. https://fashionsizzle.com/2016/03/13/malia-sasha-obama-naeem-khan-gowns-first-state-dinner/ |
The best dresses perfectly complement and showcase the woman wearing them.

So much of what has been posted is about beautiful women who would make ANYTHING look good. When I think of beautiful dresses, I think of something that involves actual tailoring, construction and skill. A simple sheath or strapless dress, while lovely-looking on a beautiful woman, may not exactly be a credit to the seamstress.
I despise all things Trump but I think Melania's white gown at the inauguration ball was something that actually took some tailoring expertise. It was beautifully cut and constructed. |
I loved her wedding dress, too. I loathe the Trumps but she is a beautiful woman with good style. |

Keeping with the Grace Kelly theme, I love her red dress from Dial M for Murder

| Don’t laugh, but even though I was around 40 when Frozen came out, I remember when Elsa transformed her simple frock into the blue gown during “Let it Go,” I was absolutely delighted and thought it was Disney’s most beautiful princess dress ever. |

| I can't post photos, but look up Guo Pei's designs. |
I saw this one from the Met Gala photos and I thought it was striking. I think it goes to PPs point about complexity and construction, and it's also beautiful.

Haha! I can still hear my then-4-year-old son saying “She change her dress!” My all-boy’s boy noticed it! |
