Sequins That Refuse to Stay One Color
Hologram sequins take the color-shifting technology you see in holographic fabrics and apply it to individual sequins. Each sequin reflects light in multiple colors depending on the angle, creating an almost oil-slick effect. These Rachel Allan gowns show hologram sequins in base colors of turquoise, blue, and green, but as the models move, you'll catch flashes of purple, pink, gold, and silver coming off the same sequins.
The fitted silhouettes with strategic cutouts at the waist work because the hologram sequin fabric has enough body to hold these shapes without additional structure. The sequins are typically attached to a mesh or knit backing that provides slight stretch, which you need for gowns that fit this closely. The side cutouts and open back details create breathing room in an otherwise fully sequined dress.
Maximum Impact, Calculated Placement
Unlike standard sequined gowns where the sparkle is predictable, hologram sequin dresses change completely depending on lighting and movement. The turquoise gown might read as predominantly blue in one light source and shift to green with undertones of pink in another. This makes them high-impact choices for venues with dynamic lighting.
The bow details at the hip provide contrast between the matte ribbon and the color-shifting sequins. These gowns need that visual break because allover hologram sequins can be overwhelming without something to anchor the eye. The strapless sweetheart construction keeps the upper body clean and lets the sequin work build from the bust down. Hologram sequins perform best when there's significant surface area to create that shifting color effect, which these fitted mermaid silhouettes deliver.
