Whatever your style is, explore evening gowns and dresses that rise to the occasion.

Dreaming of princess vibes? Focus on silhouette with a cap sleeve, fitted bodice and a sprinkle of sequin magic. Looking for more playful designs?

And forget about the hassle of owning it all — Rent The Runway takes the stress out of getting glammed up with an extensive collection of stunning evening gowns and formal dresses to rent or buy for your next black tie event or any other special occasion in your social calendar.

Can wedding guests wear a gown?
Wedding guests can absolutely wear gowns — especially formal or black-tie wedding guest dresses. For less conventional weddings, opt for a sleek, understated design that balances classic elegance with charm.

Is a gown considered formal?
Yes! A gown is the epitome of formal attire. Formal gowns are what you wear when you want to turn heads, own the room and let your unique style shine. Think gala events, black-tie weddings and red carpets.
