The statuesque model matched the sultry frock that fell to her ankles with simple black strappy sandals.

A band around the centre helped show off her slender, taut stomach at the charity event for cancer research.

She opted for minimal accessories, including a simple gold bangle worn on her right arm and drop earrings.

The raven-haired beauty swept her side-parted, naturally tousled locks behind her shoulders to highlight her flawless complexion.

Plunge into some sunshine with a yellow satin dress like Shanina

Shanina Shaik has the most exotic features and this runaway runway regular shows off her glorious tan in a bold gold dress by Maria Lucia Hohan that had us dreaming of beaches and the summer already. But why wait until next year to wear cheerful colors like this?

We say, ditch the boring black and embrace a warm, statement shade this season. It may not be sunny but in a dress like Shanina's you'll brighten up everyone's day.

Sadly this exact one from Maria Lucia Hohan is from the resort 2016 collection so it's not available yet. However check out the fall collection at Luisaviaroma for some masterfully draped pieces that she's known for.

Looking for some mellow yellow? We've scoured the virtual high street and found some eye-catching maxis that will do the trick nicely.
