I don't think the dress is a gold, I think it's more of a neutral champagne type of color. I think the silver looks good with it, I don't think gold shoes would really go.
Anyway I actually like this, it's understated and doesn't draw a ton of attention, but it's beautiful and classy. I love the color on her. Love the makeup and hair with it too, everything looks fresh. The fit of the dress looks awesome on her.
