When Ellie Goulding attended the Omega “Lost in Space” anniversary party at the Tate Modern in London on April 26, 2017, she opted for a sophisticated take on her signature edgy aesthetic.

Shifting away from her usual red-carpet silhouettes, the singer arrived in a head-to-toe Saint Laurent ensemble that balanced structured tailoring with delicate textures.

Her look centered around a Saint Laurent crepe mini dress, featuring a complex interplay of distressed lace and mesh.

The design utilized sheer panels to create a modern, “naked dress” effect, countered by the conservative high neckline and voluminous romantic puff sleeves.

The highlight of the outfit was the footwear: the Saint Laurent “Edie” pumps. These heels mirrored the dress’s juxtaposition, blending sharp, sexy lines with feminine frill details.

To complete the look—and pay homage to the evening’s host—she accessorized with an Omega Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch.”

While we’re used to seeing Ellie in black dresses that expose a lot of skin, most are ill-fitting and don’t take her body shape into account. For this look, we love how Ellie’s Saint Laurent dress married her preference for sheer black dresses without making her look cheap. Overall, this is one of the better dresses we’ve seen on her.
