Evening & Formal Dresses

Whether you've been invited to your first formal event or you attend black tie events regularly, Zappos.com has the brands you love and a well-curated selection to fit all of your needs. Featuring designer gowns by Adrianna Papell®, Laundry by Shelli Segal®, Calvin Klein®, Donna Morgan™, JILL JILL STUART®, Prabal Gurung™, and Rachel Pally™ to name a few.

Our variety is as vast as the brands we carry. For black tie events, you'll find lace gowns; embellished gowns; and dresses with illusion necklines, cold shoulder sleeves, ombre designs, faux wrap designs, and more.

For a fun cocktail party, a jacquard midi dress is sure to stand out or a jersey beaded cape that screams sophistication. Don't be afraid to experiment with your look. Try a daring high-low hem, or a cocktail dress with a beaded bodice. For a classic look, try a fitted floor-length column dress or a gown with an elegant train. Or mix trends and try a classic silhouette with an oversize peplum embellishment.

Once you've found the perfect dress, hang around and find the perfect accessories to complete your look. Our shoe and handbag collection rival our dresses. Shop with confidence and take advantage of our free shipping both ways! You'll never have to settle for second best or have the hassle of a difficult return.
