Where the Velvet Glam style comes from
Velvet has been a luxury fabric for centuries: it was once so costly that only royalty and nobles wore it. Its soft pile catches the light and makes colours look deeper, which is why it still feels made for special nights.
Velvet glam today means jewel tones (burgundy, wine red, emerald, sapphire) paired with gold, sleek or voluminous hair and one or two statement pieces. The fabric does most of the work, so the rest of the outfit stays polished and simple.
