Copy Karlie in a Dolce & Gabbana lace dress

Is it any wonder Karlie Kloss is one of the most successful models in the world?

She looked simply stunning at the Pencils of Promise Gala in New York wearing a heavenly high neck Dolce & Gabbana gown which featured lace long sleeves and a dramatic train. When styled with a braided up 'do and a swipe of red lipstick, this is the way to knock their socks off on the red carpet!

Lace will always lend a touch of elegance to any look, and even though this dress covers every inch of Karlie's supermodel figure, the subtle flash of flesh from the lace proves than less is more. The very Victoriana neckline is a look that was shown on the most recent runway shows at Alexander McQueen, Givenchy and Valentino, so it's high time you got involved.

Also hitting the red carpet was British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor and performer Usher.  

The night before, Karlie was walking the runway for the H&M and Balmain launch fashion show with other models including Kendall Jenner and Gigi and Bella Hadid.  

The leggy blonde paraded down the runway in a variety of ensembles designed by Olivier Rousteing as part of his one-off capsule collection for the high-street giant. 

Following the show, Karlie and Kendall joined Kylie Jenner on the front row and danced along to the Backstreet Boys.
