Hemlines have been seen to creep higher than ever in the recent Spring / Summer collections, with barely-there dresses storming the catwalk around the globe. From denim to silk, bubble to shift, demure to daring, the minidress is back in its many forms and looks like it's here to stay.

Elie Saab sparkled in a collection that was pure gold - literally.
