We gave you 10 ideas for ball gowns that you could wear for this year’s Philippine Tatler Ball, but don’t worry we are not going to leave you hanging. Here are our suggestions for what shoes and bags are best to pair with those 10 gown styles. We can’t wait to see what you wear this Sunday!

1. GRECIAN GODDESS

Tatler Asia

Topped with a burnished knot clasp, the exquisitely hand-woven Bottega Veneta twill clutch embellished with cognac crystals and beads paired with Aquazzura's strappy stiletto heels in gold with star details, makes the perfect subtle pairing for an intricate and flowy grecian style dress. 

2. VINTAGE VIXEN

Tatler Asia

Sashay your way out of a fashion throwback and step into the future by styling your vintage frock with accessories that are quirky, with a modern twist. Go for Alexandre Birman's 'Mary' sandals with 3 plush velvet bows and Prada's 20's style velvet shoulder bag with a large silver plate reminiscent of baroque door locks. 

3. LA BOHEME

Tatler Asia

Anything goes for the free-spirited and since we're betting you'll opt for fuss free when it comes to your dress, keep your equilibrium in check by going for show-stopping accessories. These red tassled satin pumps from Aquazzura and The Row's metallic wristlet clutch with fringe detail will keep you in your element. 

4. CLASS ACT

Tatler Asia

Make no mistake with the sublime black and gold combo, it's as elegant as neutral pairings go. Double the dose on sophistication with Gianvito Rossi's geisha bow-embelished satin sandals and Tom Ford's Siena bag with a gleaming gold lock resembling a bow to match.

5. FAIRY PRINCESS

Tatler Asia

Go for whimsical and dreamy when styling an ultra feminine dress. Channel Cinderalla at the ball and slip on this modern day glass slippers from Miu Miu with crystal embelishments, complete your look with Jimmy Choo's delicate bejewelled satin clutch.

6. FEMME FATALE

Tatler Asia

Keep your look true to form by giving it a strong 'girl boss' vibe, choose accessories that are both glamorous and edgy like Alexander McQueen's knuckle embellished satin clutch paired with Giuseppe Zanoti's minimalistic sky-high stilettos in gunmetal colour. 

7. UPTOWN GIRL

Tatler Asia

Keep it fresh and let your effervescence shine through. No one can pull off a preppy look quite like you, slip on your favourite Rupert Sanderson 'starfire' sandals in metallic green with a tweed-like finish that compliments this intricately embellished Dolce & Gabbana acrylic 'Dolce box' clutch. 

8. THE TRENDSETTER

Tatler Asia

From season's must-haves to the most coveted 'it' bags, you never miss a step. Curate your accessories well by staying ahead of the curve with Gianvito Rossi's opera satin sandals and do a mismatch with an unexpected acrylic clutch from Edie Parker. 

9. FUN AND FLIRTY

Tatler Asia

You have a penchant for unusual details and a great personality to match. Go all out and show everyone how to bend the rules by picking standout pieces like Marco De Vicenzo's striking pair of stiletto mule in bronze metal with laser cut details that goes perfectly well with the 'Clara' clutch encrusted with glistening pink crystals in rose gold from Sophia Webster. 

10. C'EST CHIC

Tatler Asia

Nothing says chic like a luxurious Lanvin evening clutch. With dripping gold chains and crystal fringing in lustrous black satin, pair it up with another luxe texture like Oscar Tiye's velvet sandals in a rich jewel colour for that extra oomph.
