Is Bronze the New Cool Metallic?

last updated 13 August 2019

When it comes to holiday dressing, we're all for luxe materials and colors—velvet, metallic, sequins, you name it. This is this time to go all-out. When it comes to metallics specifically, you might feel like the typical silver and gold are your only options, whereas bronze can sometimes feel like more of a neutral. Well, we have just the outfit to prove that notion totally wrong.

Olivia Culpo stepped out this week for Revolve's Winter Formal in a bronzed-out look that was anything but muted. The actress opted for an alluring look from LPA consisting of a metallic, fringy velvet plunging bodysuit (seriously, wow) and a bronze silk slit skirt. She did style it with nude two-strap sandals, thus allowing the glitzy textures on top to stand on their own. What made this look pop more than your average bronze pieces is the fact that she mixed materials—patterned velvet on top plus something slinky on bottom. This look is making us so excited for all the holiday dressing to come, and we're pretty convinced that we want to include some bronze metallics in our upcoming ensembles.
