While the collared dress is a beloved staple for daily wear, it has also become a popular choice for red carpet events.
We’ve curated a selection of our top 5 favorite red carpet looks featuring this highly sought-after dress style.
1. Hayley Atwell in Jasper Conran
You don’t need to wear heavily embellished and sparkly dresses to gain attention at red carpet events. Sometimes, simple silhouettes and clean monochromatic palettes are just as effective.

Hayley Atwell’s dress at the Moet British Independent Film Awards is a perfect example. The 31-year-old British actress wore a stunning collared Jasper Conran gown. The contrast of the white collar against the black floor-length gown added an interesting touch to her elegant look.
2. Jena Malone in Valentino
Jena Malone, who played Johanna Mason in the latest installment of ‘The Hunger Games’ series, wore a bicolored Valentino dress at the movie’s New York screening.

The actress’s look was successful, from her sophisticated coif to her Casadei Mohawk gray pumps. The addition of the collar gave this dress a sweet old-school appeal.

4. Rosamund Pike in Victoria Beckham
It’s not all vintage glamor for collared dresses. There are also modern takes on it. One chic example is Rosamund Pike’s Victoria Beckham dress at the world premiere of ‘The World’s End.’ The dress embodies what they say about contrasting elements.

The demure silhouette was made more modern with its see-through details. The actress wore it with Elie Saab T-strap sandals.
5. Brit Marling in Valentino
There’s another Valentino collared dress fan here. Brit Marling chose this beautifully embroidered overlay dress from the said fashion house. A dress like this doesn’t even need too much accessorizing.
