The Emerald Siren: How to Style Tarik Ediz 98766 for a Judge’s 10/10

When this gown walks into the room, it doesn’t ask for attention—it owns it.
Tarik Ediz 98766 is a sculpted emerald mermaid with a dramatic one-shoulder drape and twin silver beaded corset cups. The Tafeta hugs the body, the flare lifts like a wave, and the neckline reads as jewellery on its own. Tonight, I’m your friendly but exacting judge—here to fine-tune the look so you score a perfect 10.

Why this silhouette wins (and on whom)

This mermaid cut celebrates curves and creates them where you want them. Hourglass figures get a red-carpet frame; athletic and rectangle shapes gain clean definition through the corseted bodice and flared hem; pear shapes find instant balance from the structured bust and asymmetric shoulder. Petites? Add a sleek stiletto and let the vertical lines do the lengthening.

Fit notes: Keep the bodice snug (inner cups + light boning + silicone gripper), hem to skim the floor, and add a bustle loop for dancing.

Colour verdict: emerald + silver (and why it’s magic)

Emerald flatters a wide range of undertones. The silver beaded cups cool the palette and bounce light toward the face—great for evening lighting and photos.

• Medium–deep skin: the green glows; choose dewy highlight and a nude/berry lip.

• Fair skin: go classic—soft smokey eye, defined brow, rose/red lip.

The winning accessory formula (don’t overdo it)

The neckline is the headline—skip a necklace. Choose diamond/crystal drops or emerald drops, never both; add one sleek bracelet or a cocktail ring.
Shoes: metallic silver stilettos (single-strap) to mirror the corset sparkle; gunmetal for moodier, black patent for classic.
Clutch: polished or beaded silver (best match to the cups); black velvet for timeless; emerald satin for tone-on-tone luxury.

Style it by occasion

Gala / Red Carpet: Silver drop earrings + silver stilettos + polished silver clutch.
Wedding Guest (black-tie): Diamond studs + thin tennis bracelet + black velvet clutch + black patent sandal.
Pageant / Stage: Emerald drops + high-shine silver heel + beaded minaudière.
Charity Ball / Awards Night: Emerald studs + cocktail ring + gunmetal sandal + satin silver clutch.

Judge’s comfort tips: invisible thong or seamless short; body tape along the inner edge of each silver cup; light steaming only.
