At Amex x CARBONE BEACH 2026 in Miami Beach on May 2, 2026, Dixie DAmelio wore a deep burgundy halter maxi dress – and the central knot changes everything.
That color is doing a lot.
At Amex x CARBONE BEACH 2026 in Miami Beach on May 2, 2026, Dixie DAmelio chose a deep burgundy halter maxi that instantly popped against the red backdrop. It’s a bold shade – somewhere between wine and dried rose – and under evening lights, it reads rich rather than flashy.
The dress is cut with a plunging halter neckline that drops low through the center, meeting at a knotted detail just below the bust. From that knot, the fabric falls into soft draping that runs down the torso and extends into a long sash panel. You can see how the material gathers and pools slightly near the hem, giving it movement without bulk.
What makes this work for me is the balance between drama and restraint. The neckline is unapologetic, but the fluid fall of the skirt keeps it grounded. It’s sensual, yes, but not chaotic.
She kept accessories minimal – a layered silver-tone necklace that echoes the V line, slim bracelets, and nothing that competes with the dress. Loose, beachy waves and neutral makeup let the burgundy lead.

This kind of Miami Race Week dressing fits right in with other polished looks in celebrity red carpet settings – high impact, clean styling.
Would you keep the deep plunge exactly as is, or soften it with a subtle pin?
It’s the knot that seals the deal.
