Sponsor Content Created With Karen Millen

With weddings, parties and events steadily filling our social calendars again, dressing up to celebrate has never felt so good. After a dreary winter and a chilly spring, we're throwing open our wardrobes to the best and brightest occasionwear the shops have to offer. And one place that is getting the party edit right is Karen Millen.

2022 is the year of the Y2K aesthetic, reaffirming our love for some of the most iconic looks of the decade: mini hemlines, cropped tops and plenty of high-octane glamour. Thankfully, Karen Millen has found the chicest way to incorporate the trend into your closet (with a little extra grown-up polish). Enter the KM collection with model and actress Paulina Porizkova.
