Formal Dresses
If you want a reliable way to show up in a stunning number that matches your vibe and the dress code, our collection of formal dresses is something to get serious about.
So, what makes a formal dress formal? Formal wear doesn't need to be conservative or conventional — unless you want it to be. This means anything from an evening gown to floral dresses can capture the timeless elegance of a formal dress code. By matching your favorite evening dresses with sleek heels, a silk headscarf or a lace bag, you can build a unique style that never gets tired.
From minimalist silhouettes to bold and bright dresses, discover a full range of effortless looks that’ll command attention and leave a lasting impression — no matter the special occasion. Whether you need a show-stopping black tie wedding guest dress, a flirty cocktail party dress for next weekend's social lineup or a long sleeve wrap dress for the theater, we’ve got you covered.
With a super affordable, commitment-free approach, Rent the Runway makes it easy to try out the latest trends, evolve with the seasons and find a formal dress that feels as good as it looks.
