Various designers have interpreted the tuxedo in different ways this year. Actor Jennifer Lawrence gets understated glam right in this Dior gown by Maria Grazia Chiuri, with subtle silken pockets inspired by the classic silhouette. Pic/AFP

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has finally ditched her sheer tights and makes the most of the sharply tailored tux dress. If you wish to shake things up a bit, choose your footwear in a contrasting colour or carry a statement clutch like the royal. Pic/Getty Images

If you are aiming for a young and fun vibe like actor Alia Bhatt, pick a sequinned blazer or tux dress for your next night out, or one made with a lamé fabric. We would ditch the chunky heels that stand out, but not in a good way. Pic/Yogen Shah

For modest dressing, don a pair of flared pants with a long tuxedo, as seen at Givenchy's Spring 2018 presentation. A hint of glimmer through a fringed earring completes the look. Pic/AFP
