Mermaid gowns, princess silhouette gowns, and costumes that ooze beauty are all big hits at white-tie parties. The backless gown, on the other hand, is a silhouette that is all about less-is-more. They’re in tremendous popularity with the stars, and they’re a must-have on practically every red carpet. Take a peek at some of our current favorites!
