Alicia Carmody’s Leopard Print Maxi Dress

It’s a floor-grazing maxi in the spotted classic — fluid jersey that moves when you do, with enough drape to make a doorway feel like an entrance. The print is the loud one, yes, but cut long and lean it reads grown, not costume. File it next to the era when NeNe declared she was very rich, b**** — leopard belongs to women who announce themselves before they sit down. (The dress does the announcing for you, which is frankly a mercy.)

Wear it to brunch, to a reunion taping, to whatever passes for an occasion in your life. Pair with gold hoops the size of a small grievance. Into the Vault →
