Women's Cocktail and Party Dresses

At Anthropologie, we believe in dressing for the occasion – and what occasion calls for more glamor than a cocktail party? Find the perfect dress to wear for various events and occasions, such as weddings, bachelorette parties, homecoming, or formal dinners.

What is a cocktail dress?

A cocktail dress is a mid to knee length dress in a dressier fabrication, like silk, sequin, satin and more. As for colors and styles, the possibilities are endless. For a classic look, opt for a little black dress with understated details, or choose a bold and bright hue that speaks to your personal style. We also love dresses with unique embellishments, such as beading or lace, to add a touch of whimsy and elegance to your look.

Can a cocktail dress be long?

When it comes to finding the perfect cocktail dress, length is an essential consideration. We recommend choosing a dress that falls somewhere between knee-length and mid-calf, as this is the most universally accepted length for cocktail hour.

What to wear over a cocktail dress?

Feeling like you’ll be chilly in your cocktail dress? Don't forget a chic blazer, cape, or cover-up to keep you warm and stylish all night long.

Where to buy cocktail dresses?

At Anthropologie, we have cocktail dresses in every color and size (from Petites to Plus!) in a variety of styles and silhouettes to ensure you find the dress you’re looking for.
