Mel B walked the red carpet at Thursday's 'Escape to Total Rewards' concert at Gotham Hall, New York wearing a bondage-inspired dress.

Well, the bodice section was bondage-inspired, with tight strap detailing and a collar section, but from the waist down was dramatic draping. It's an interesting look and one we definitely don't hate.

To keep the styling sleek, Mel is wearing chunky but simple jewellery (earrings and cuffs) and her makeup is beautifully simple. We'd say she could have definitely ditched the fringed clutch, though - it's a complication too far.

What do you think of Mel's striking look? Has she scored a style hit or is her dramatic dress not doing it for you?

If you're after a bolder party look but not brave enough for bondage, why not just add a black lipstick to your makeup bag?
