Some dresses have an almost magnetic appeal to the female celebrity, think Roland Mouret’s Galaxy or Herve Leger’s bandage dresses. The latest number to hit the celebrity circuit is Alexander McQueen’s angular shouldered crepe dress.

First seen in purple on the Spice Girl’s Emma Bunton. Then the sultry actress Salma Hayek chose the very same number for an appearance on David Letterman and than just this weekend Anna Paquin chose a black version for an Emmys afterparty!

What’s not to love about this little number? Capped shoulders to compliment arms, a v-neck to show off a bust and wrap detailing to emphasise waist and minimise hips. The purple version is available to buy right now at Net-a-porter and will set you back £1,245.
