Power dressing at its best, this dress by Sportmax embodies everything about the empowerment of women – not to mention setting a few male hearts a-flutter while you’re at it.

If seduction is your middle name, then this dress should be your secret weapon this party season. The dramatic sheer sweetheart detailing allows a subtle hint of flesh on show, while the structured black silhouette is refined yet elegant, hugging your curves in all the right places.

The patent black belt adds definition to your waist, cinching you in a few extra inches – always a good thing around the festive period, non? – but when teamed with bare legs and blood red killer heels, this party piece will truly come alive.

After all, one can never own to many LBD’s, right?
