Royal Blue Dress Outfits: Inspiration for Special Events

Whether it’s for a wedding or a fancy event, I’m sure you’ll find all the inspiration you need in the outfit ideas below. But before we dive in, I want to give you a few important tips!

Royal blue is often associated with royalty, and it gives off a vibe of calm, confidence, elegance, and sophistication. That’s why it’s such a great choice for bridesmaids or wedding guests.

Before choosing your dress and accessories, it’s important to think about the type of event and time of day. For a daytime outdoor wedding, for example, I’d recommend light fabrics like tulle or silk crepe, paired with more understated accessories.

For an evening event, satin fabrics or dresses with a bit of sparkle are the perfect choice for a glamorous look. And when it comes to accessories, it’s your chance to go bold and make a statement!

With that in mind, let’s check out some of the best outfit ideas to help you look your best at your next event!

Royal Blue Dress + Silver Accessories

With the cooler hue of royal blue, silver accessories are the perfect choice to create a sophisticated and harmonious outfit!

You can either go all out with silver accessories or just add a pop with statement pieces like fringe earrings, a sparkly clutch or strappy silver heels.

Personally, I love pairing silver cascade or fringe earrings with matching heeled sandals and adding a fun pop of color with my clutch!

Royal Blue Dress + Gold Accessories

Gold accessories look stunning with royal blue dresses, making them the perfect choice for warmer, more luxurious outfits! As with silver accessories, you can go all out or choose just one statement piece like earrings, a clutch or a pair of high heels.

For a bold and glamorous nighttime look, consider adding a bright red nail polish, as seen in the Closet da May outfit below.

Royal blue dress + nude accessories

If you’re a bridesmaid or just want to keep your dress in the spotlight, you can’t go wrong with nude or beige accessories. A pair of heeled sandals in a shade that matches your skin tone is perfect for elongating your silhouette and creating an elegant look!

Monochromatic outfits

If you’re aiming for an elegant party look that keeps the focus on your dress, accessories in the same color are a perfect choice! A royal blue or navy clutch, for example, will give you a classic and sophisticated vibe, especially when paired with silver accessories.

Royal blue dress + green accessories

Green accessories are another classic choice that looks amazing with blue dresses! An emerald green clutch, for example, is a fantastic way to add a pop of color to your outfit while keeping it sophisticated.

Emerald green drop earrings are another great option, especially when paired with a clutch in the same shade or even a colorful one, like in the outfit below from Closet da May.

Royal blue dress + pink accessories

Accessories in shades of pink add a bold and romantic touch to your outfit, creating a vibrant contrast with the royal blue of your dress.

A hot pink clutch is a fantastic choice for a feminine vibe and can even be paired with drop earrings in a matching shade. This combo creates a delicate yet vibrant look that is perfect for a daytime wedding, especially in the warmer months!
