Elie Saab Resort 2026 is named Dawn to Dusk, and it really fits the bill: from safari-inspired pieces and must-have oversized leather bomber jackets for early adventures, to David Bowie-inflected suiting (there’s one in polka dot!) for mid-afternoon meetings, all the way through to floor-length, off-the-shoulder cocktail dresses dripping in gold crystals (a workout to wear all that weight, I’m sure) – this collection has your entire day covered. And if you’re skipping that meeting for a spritz on the terrace, there are boho dresses and relaxed separates for that too.
Key emerging trends make strong appearances: peak lapels on blazers, slouching epaulettes on sleeveless safari shirts, and pyjama piping on a polka-dot shirt-and-shorts set. Silhouettes run the full range, from second-skin capris to sweeping wide-leg trousers, thigh-skimming mini dresses to denim that pools dramatically at the ankle.
There’s movement and softness in the curving details: rounded plaits that are stitched into knitwear, and cut-outs spiraling around sleeves and hems. One standout halterneck maxi dress mixes broderie anglaise, appliqué and tonal embroidery to create a trompe-l’œil floral pattern that’s intricate without being fussy.
The final looks are pure Saab: sequins and crystals, long lines, and serious glamour. But this season, the shine is tempered with earthy golds and bronzes, soft coral and pale green, ivory and black – tones that feel grounded and modern rather than high-octane.
It’s glamour for women who don’t need to shout. The sort of pieces that do the work for you – without ever looking like they tried too hard.
