Fashion editor Cary Tauben pieced together an assortment of bold outfits for Dress to Kill. Although Nicholls took images from the waist up only, this still gave Tauben enough room to execute striking ensembles with an array of statement pieces.

Present in this set are two-toned blazers, leopard print fur and bustiers. Tauben paired these captivating pieces with thick gold rings, dangling earrings and gilded beaded necklaces. Makeup expert Sabrina Rinaldi matched these pieces with equally vivid cosmetics, seen in dark red lips and thick eyelashes.
