What more could you want from a party frock than sparkling sequins, a sexy V-neck and Eighties-inspired shoulder pads? Luckily the Samantha dress from French Connection has it all; it’s classy, elegant, empowering and super sexy.

All-over midnight blue sequins aside, we love the deep-cut V-neck at the front which gives an ultra feminine finish, and those shoulder pads promise to give you instant dressing power and that extra confidence to stand out from the crowd.

Just add your favourite courts and an oversized clutch to complete the look and light up the room after-dark this season – you don’t need a better excuse to invest in some disco glam.
