metallic dress

Gleaming evening wear

A metallic dress is a garment made from or coated with fabric that has a shiny, reflective surface resembling metal—typically gold, silver, bronze, or iridescent hues.

The effect comes from metallic threads, lamé, sequins, or foil-like finishes: She wore a silver metallic dress to the gala.

Associated with evening wear, disco fashion, and futuristic aesthetics.
