Roksanda Dresses: A 2026 Buyer’s Guide to 22 Styles

Roksanda dresses are known for architectural draping, sculptural volume, capes and bold colour blocking, cut in silk satin, cloque, crepe and double satin. Luxury Handbags currently lists 22 Roksanda dresses, from floor-length silk satin gowns for black tie to wool tailoring midis for the office, in UK sizes 4 to 18.

This buyer’s guide sorts every one of them by silhouette, length, fabric and occasion, so you can go straight to the dress that suits the event in your diary. All of them sit on the Roksanda brand page at Luxury Shoes .

What makes a Roksanda dress recognisable?

A Roksanda dress is recognisable by its shape before its colour: draped, asymmetric and built with the logic of an architect.

Roksanda Ilincic studied architecture and design in Belgrade before moving to London in 1999 for an MA in Womenswear at Central Saint Martins. Her dresses carry that training. Volume sits where it changes the outline, at a cape sleeve, a side bow, a full cloque skirt. Necklines twist to one side. Hems drop on the diagonal. Colour comes in blocks, so a contrast lining, a back panel in a second shade and a scarf in a third are all part of the vocabulary.

The label has dressed Catherine, Princess of Wales, Michelle Obama, Cate Blanchett and Keira Knightley, and its gowns have appeared in the V&A exhibition “Ballgowns: British Glamour Since 1950”. The marigold Brigitte dress worn by the Princess of Wales is not stocked at Luxury Shoes , but our story on Roksanda and the Princess of Wales covers it in full.

The table below lists all 22 Roksanda dresses currently at Luxury Handbags with the facts that matter when choosing.

Which Roksanda dress should you wear to black tie?

For black tie, choose one of the floor-length gowns: the Kami, Nella, Syla, Sami and Nila dresses are all cut for formal evening.

The Kami Dress in Light Aqua is a bias-cut silk satin column with wide draped sleeves that gather at the cuff. It is the most fluid of the five and suits a tall, narrow frame especially well. The Nella Dress in Ultra Pink wraps around the body, cinches at the waist and drops a single cape from one shoulder over an orange lining. It is the one to choose for a gala where you want to be seen across the room.

The Syla Dress in Burgundy is stricter: a structured sheer cloque column with short sleeves and one draped detail at the hip. The Sami Dress in Deep Burgundy is relaxed, with a keyhole neck and wide fluid sleeves, and it is the most comfortable gown here for a long seated dinner. The Nila Dress in Meadow Green is taffeta, with a voluminous sculptural side bow and a dipped hem. For the full dress code, read how to dress for a black tie event, and compare across labels in our black tie gowns edit.

Which Roksanda dress works for a wedding?

For weddings, the cloque Rova, the one-shoulder Elva, the draped Zoa and the Ida in Rosado are the strongest guest choices.

The Rova Dress in Wine pairs a cap sleeve and notched neckline with a dramatically full skirt, and the cloque holds its shape through a long day. The same dress comes in Heliotrope, a vivid fuchsia, as the Rova Dress in Heliotrope. Wine suits autumn and winter ceremonies, Heliotrope suits a summer garden.

The Elva Dress in Pink has a draped one-shoulder neckline, an asymmetric wrapped waist and a hem that falls away on the diagonal. The Zoa Dress in Meadow Green drapes across the body and knots at the waist before cascading into an asymmetric skirt, and it also comes in black. The Ida Dress in Rosado is the most romantic, with silk satin drapes through the sleeves and an asymmetric handkerchief hem. For winter dates, our winter wedding guest dresses guide has more options.

Which Roksanda dresses have capes?

The Nella Dress has a full single cape, the Hiba Dress has a cape sleeve, and the brown melange Oryn has a cape-effect sleeve.

Capes are one of the clearest Roksanda signatures, and they work as movement as much as decoration. The Hiba Dress in Meadow Green sets a cap sleeve on one side against a draped cape sleeve on the other, in silk satin. The Oryn Dress in Brown Melange brings the cape-effect sleeve into daywear, with a hunter green panel lining the back. Our wider edit of cape dresses covers the shape across other designers.

Which Roksanda dresses suit the office?

The Caia, Etta and brown melange Oryn dresses are cut for workwear, in wool tailoring and crepe.

The Caia Dress in Brown Melange is a sleek midi column with a bateau neckline and elbow sleeves. At the back, an iris blue panel with a keyhole cut out adds the house colour block. The shell is 100% wool. The Etta Dress in Navy is navy crepe with an asymmetric draped bodice and wide sleeves. Both work under a coat in winter and on their own in spring.

Which Roksanda dresses are for daytime and warm weather?

The Sana, Zelia, Kova, Wren and Calliope Pink Oryn dresses are lighter in mood and suit daytime events.

The Sana Dress in Brush Burgundy is printed cotton with a cotton lining, a soft V-neck, flutter sleeves and a circular pleated maxi skirt. It is the most relaxed dress in the line-up. The Zelia Dress in Brush Stripe Verdant is a tea-length printed twill with a square neck and a full skirt, built for garden parties. The Kova Dress in Aquamarine is cloque with a V-neck, cap sleeves and a pleated tea-length skirt. The Wren Dress in Aqua adds a red scarf to aqua satin and finishes in a handkerchief hem, while the Oryn Dress in Calliope Pink sets a fitted Bordeaux bodice over a sweeping circular midi skirt.

What are Roksanda dresses made from?

Roksanda dresses are made in silk satin, double satin, cloque, sheer cloque, crepe, taffeta, printed twill, cotton and wool tailoring.

The fabric tells you how the dress will behave. Silk satin, used on the Kami, Nella, Ida and Hiba, is 100% silk and moves with the body. Double satin, on the Zoa, is a heavier triacetate and polyester satin with more structure. Cloque has a blistered texture that holds a full skirt without petticoats. Sheer cloque on the Syla and Rune is a 66% polyester and 34% polyamide blend with a crisp, slightly translucent face. Most styles are lined in the house lining of 73% acetate and 27% silk. Care across the range is specialist dry clean.

How should you choose your Roksanda dress size?

Roksanda fits true to size and the model wears a UK 8, so start with your usual UK size and check the measurement that the silhouette depends on.

For bias-cut silk, check your hips. For full cloque skirts, size to bust and waist. For the knotted Zoa and wrapped Elva, the waist matters most. Our Roksanda size guide has the centimetre chart and international conversions, and our edit of Roksanda Autumn Winter 2026 shows how the dresses sit within the wider season.
