The ex-The Real Housewives of New York City star donned a silver chiffon mini-dress which featured a plunging, V-shaped neckline, displaying her cleavage.

The metallic frock nipped in at the waist to reveal her slim figure, the floaty, thigh-skimming skirt flattering her trim pins.

It boasted an array of vertical black stripes, which further served to lengthen her frame, in addition to sheer, gathered sleeves.

Kelly Bensimon is certainly getting ready for party season judging by her latest look!

Fashion land is well and truly gearing up for Christmas, which means the high street is positively gleaming with glitter. There's no better time to stock up on metallics, ladies!

Christmas after Christmas, metallic dresses flood the high street, so you can rest assured that investing now is a wise style move. Don't be fooled by their outlandish style though; a metallic dress is surprisingly easy to wear!

The trick is to play down the rest of your look -- a pair of classic courts in black or nude and a simple bag are the only accessories you need. Go too OTT and you'll end up looking like the Christmas tree.
