I love the dress Selena Gomez wore to the AMAs this year. I read that it was by Coach but they don’t seem to have them for sale.

The Dictator rules: Let’s be honest. You don’t look like the skinny, 25-year-old singer, actress and former child star. You are not about to grace a red carpet any time soon. And luxury brands aren’t exactly asking to dress you. The obvious conclusion: you need to get real.

Selena Gomez, who recently collaborated with Coach on a limited-edition collection, wore a custom-made, racy, fitted black leather mini dress with biker-jacket details to the 2017 American Music Awards last month. You can, however, achieve a similar look. Coach’s creative director, Stuart Vevers, was inspired by the brand’s leather moto jackets, so you could get one of those (HK$11,000 to HK$14,000), then pair it with a leather mini skirt, throw on some studded black pumps and you’re at least close.

Still pining for the dress? Fine. Alexandre Vauthier’s biker dress is not made from leather, but it captures the look beau­ti­fully (HK$17,317; stylebop.com). Love Moschino plays with the biker aesthetic, too, on a fitted black sleeveless dress (HK$2,775; farfetch.com). Jeremy Scott, who happens to be Moschino’s creative director, has done one in fuchsia crêpe (HK$4,172; luisaviaroma.com) for his namesake label. Hurry, though. They are almost sold out.

AF Vandevorst has combined a moto jacket in ladylike tweed with a drapey skirt in black (HK$20,785; farfetch.com). Finally, if you buy one leather dress this season, make sure it’s Alexander McQueen’s sleeveless, black leather midi with red and white leather whipstitch details (now on sale at HK$44,400).
