Product Insights & Style Tips

The Vani Beaded Paisley Velvet Maxi Dress from Elie Tahari glows with evening drama. Lustrous velvet drapes with a quiet, luxurious weight, catching the light as you move. Meticulously placed beaded and sequined paisleys shimmer across the dress, while the mock neckline and sleeveless cut keep the mood modern and poised.

Concealed back zip keeps the line clean from shoulder to hem, while the sleeveless silhouette lets the velvet fall with a refined gravity that skim s the figure without cling. The model stands 5'10" and wears a US size 4 Small, giving a sense of true-to-size proportion; the polyester base provides a smooth, structured hang that lets the embellishment read clearly. Dry clean only.

Elie Tahari champions refined evening wear here, blending luxury velvet with artful beading for a gown that feels both classic and contemporary. The Vani reads as a gala-ready statement piece that pairs with metallics or sleek black accessories, anchoring after-dark moments with minimal effort. Priced at 545.
