Emma Louise Connolly opts for retro glamour in an elegant floral dress

Emma Louise Connolly gave a sensational performance at the opening of RIXO’s new flagship store on Thursday night.

The model, 31, sparkled in blooms as she joined a slew of fashionistas at the launch of the incredible new King’s Road store.

The fashion brand, founded by Henrietta Rix & Orlagh McCloskey, has thrown open the doors to the incredible store, which features a changing room, incredible dressing rooms, a breathtaking bar, coffee station and bridal suite.

Taking to Instagram stories, Emma shared snaps from the night – where DJ Fat Tony was on the decks – and also posed in a brand new dress.

The black dress with bold florals on it showed off her petite waist as she blow-dried her hair with a bouncy blow-dry with a tickle of lashes to inject some 70s glamour.

Emma then pulled a beige sweater over the dress, adding a more casual edge.

She made it no secret that she was in awe of the beautiful store – especially the pastel-colored changing rooms dotted with sprawling preserved palm trees.

She also marveled at the bridal suite, revealing that she wishes the service was there when she got married in 2021.

Founder Orlagh looked stunning at the event in a royal blue silk slip dress, while her twin sister Gemma shone in an orange two-piece suit. Gemma’s interior design firm Cupla Studio designed the store.

Another fashion heavyweight in attendance was Elfie Reigate, a model signed to the eponymous agency of Kate Moss, the daughter of model Rosemary Ferguson and acclaimed recording artist Barry Reigate.

She looked stunning in an off-the-shoulder dress in one of the brand’s pretty floral prints while wearing her hair in loose curls.

Irish author Emma Dabiri went for a bold style with a neon top and coral red dress.

The RIXO website lists the store and writes, “Immerse yourself in our world, including all clothing and accessory collections and our Bridal Boutique, as well as our Flagship-exclusive vintage, rental and pre-loved collections. Enjoy a drink at the bar at Smokey Kudu or our coffee kiosk.’

Emma’s appearance at the bash comes after she knocked down a troll who shamed her mother for her decision to stop breastfeeding daughter Bonnie, aged six months.

The model, who is married to Oliver Proudlock, responded to a nasty comment on one of her Instagram posts, calling the man a “miserable bastard” after suggesting she stick to cow’s milk.

It came after she emotionally revealed that she stopped breastfeeding due to a “really tough” journey after the “pressure” of it became too much for her.
