From Rita Ora and Amy Adams in sumptuous Tom Ford, to Lady Gaga and Lily Donaldson in jet black, discover who is jumping on the velvet bandwagon this season.

So many questions! But don’t stress, you’ve got this. This luxe fabric is usually reserved for the fall and holiday seasons, but now you have the chance to wear velvet year-round. For Spring 2018, you will see softer neutral velvet blazers, and even stretch velvet slip dresses and camis.

Incorporating these lighter colours into a classic summer piece will give this heavier fabric a modern update. Avoiding velvet during warmer months is a thing of the past.
