Welcome to Petite in Size, Big in Style – a series all about celebrating confident, well-fitted fashion made for smaller frames.
A black-tie event calls for something classic and sophisticated, and this outfit nails it – a timeless tuxedo-inspired jumpsuit that puts a modern twist on a classic piece.
I’m a big fan of tailoring (probably because I worked as a tailor for a few years and really appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into each piece). You can never go wrong with a tuxedo-inspired piece in your wardrobe – it’s a classic, timeless item that will last a lifetime. So when I saw the jumpsuit version, I knew it would be perfect for black-tie inspiration.
The outfit is all about keeping it classic: pair it with black heels, a black bag with sequins for a touch of sparkle, a classic red lip, and gold diamanté jewelry (silver works beautifully too if you prefer). Elegant, polished, and effortlessly elegant.
Petite Tux Jumpsuit Black
This Petite Tux Jumpsuit in black is a sleek, modern take on black-tie dressing. Designed with tailored petite proportions, it features tuxedo-style peak lapels, long sleeves, asymmetric buttons, and a matching satin belt that cinches the waist. The wide-leg silhouette creates a sophisticated finish-perfectly styled with heels for evening events and special occasions.

Hot Lips Tell Laura Lipstick
No black-tie look is complete without a classic red lip, and this one is a firm favourite of mine. With a warm coral base, it’s perfect for ladies with an Autumn or Spring palette. For Winter or Summer palettes, I recommend Kissing So Red, which has cooler, blue-toned undertones for that perfect icy-red finish.
