The Ladies
Grace Kelly was a classic lady, and her white-gloved look may seem a little old fashioned, but her polished, refined and pulled-together air still resonates with today's set. Some of today's ladies include Reese Witherspoon and Renee Zellweger.
- Keep it feminine but not flirty. Pick a silhouette that shows off your waist but not too much else. If you want to choose some skin, choose one area - like your shoulders or decolletage to show off.
- Add charm. A bow, a touch of lace, or a slight ruffle offers a sweet edge. But keep it to one or two flourishes.
- Classic colors are more appropriate. Black & white will never fail you. Avoid anything over-the-top or garish. If you want to add color, try a red shoe or lip.
- Fabric counts. Look for structured, high-quality materials. Anything too flimsy or sheer should be avoided.
The Mavericks
This fashion forward group is never afraid to experiment with bold looks, new designers and avant-garde styles. Cate Blanchett & Chloe Sevigny are definitely included in this group.
- Don't follow the pack! Look for pieces no-one else has and start your own trends.
- Relish the unexpected. The dress code calls for black tie? Try a short dress studded with sequins instead of the usual floor length gown.
- Seek out unique colors and trimmings. Think canary yellow or maribou feathers.
- To add just a slight edge to your style, try working a super-modern accessory or two into your look.
