Juliana Awada Wore the Glamorous Black Strapless Taffeta Dress with Ruffles

13 September 2026

Juliana Awada once again leaned on one of her timeless staples: the black dress. The former first lady shared on her social media accounts images of the evening she attended last night in New York and surprised with a sophisticated and glamorous nighttime look.

The occasion was the opening of Moncler’s world’s largest store, located on New York’s Fifth Avenue. Juliana was among the guests invited to the event and shared some snapshots from the night on her Instagram account.

“Thank you @moncler for inviting me to the opening of the world’s largest store on New York 5th Ave. Congratulations to @remoruffini and the great team! 🖤”, she wrote alongside the photographs.

The black taffeta dress Juliana Awada chose

For the occasion, Juliana wore a black strapless midi dress in taffeta, a choice that blended a classic silhouette with details that added drama to the look.

The design stands out for the ruffled appliqués on the bodice and a gathered, voluminous skirt, which creates movement and makes the dress the star of the outfit.

The strapless neckline leaves the shoulders bare and adds a sophisticated touch to an ensemble entirely in black. The taffeta, for its part, provides structure and a texture with a subtle sheen that enhances the dress’s silhouette.

Strappy sandals and a leather-and-fur jacket

Awada completed the styling with black high-heeled sandals with thin straps, which complemented the dress’s elegant aesthetic without taking away its protagonism.

For a coat she chose a leather-and-fur jacket, a choice that injected a more urban and modern touch into a night-time look that was already quite sophisticated.

Once again, Juliana demonstrated her preference for classic garments in neutral tones, though this time she elevated the traditional black dress to a more theatrical version thanks to the ruffles and the skirt’s volume.
