Saab’s daytime looks were delicate, airy, feminine concoctions in delicious hues like breathy pinks, crispy whites and forest nymph greens. The designer offered frocks with flirty hems, [ornate lace gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein) and sheer materials. However, the [evening wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025) got a bit more dramatic featuring bold red hues, night-time sparkle, even shorter hemlines and plunging necklines. This versatile collection includes dreamy day looks and some show-stopping evening numbers that will help you make an entrance no one will forget. For instance, one could make a statement in décolleté, featuring a black dress dripping with gemstones, or a corset-inspired lace top with a full tulle skirt. On the other hand, one could just as easily host a garden tea party in a [lacy A-line pink dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandra-rich). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Romantic Lace-filled Affair:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate ornate lace and airy, feminine materials into their collections. - **Versatile Day & Night Looks:** Potential for creating fashion pieces that seamlessly transition from daytime to evening wear. - **Statement-making Evening Wear:** A chance for designers to experiment with bold colors, shorter hemlines, and plunging necklines to create show-stopping looks. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** Designers can explore innovative ways to incorporate lace and sheer materials into their collections. - **Event Planning:** Opportunity to provide stylish and versatile fashion options for clients attending day-to-night events. - **Jewelry Design:** Chance to create statement pieces that complement bold evening wear with gemstone accents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Feminine Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow.md) - [Whimsical Spring Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Summer Bridal Guest-Of Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-guestof-collection.md) - [Intricate Bridal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heli-kalkstein.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md)
