What’s new in formal-occasion designer dress wear? Ask Hollywood. Our celebrities are influencing the formal dress and gown market as never before.
1. The military look. It’s more than a statement to support national troops. This military look is really the cutting-edge fashion for 2011. It emphasizes olive green, brass accents, strong geometric lines, and a fitted tailored look. While this may seem out of place, designers have brought the military look to an irresistible sophisticated look that stars are showing off.

It radiates royalty, prosperity, and complete elegance. Don’t miss an opportunity to wear this gorgeous color at your next dress-to-the hilt occasion.
3. Ruffles and layers are in. Layers of fabric and ruffles are what are hot on the red carpet these days. It is eye-catching, yet speaks of a soft feminine-touch.
4. Animal prints. This fashion trend brings out the wild, ambitious look. While you don’t want to go overboard on the zebra stripes or leopard print, animal print accessories add a trendy Hollywood touch to any evening gown.
5. Floral Design. No this isn’t just for youth or little girls. Nor is it just for those warm spring and summer months. Floral Design is actually what is completely fashion-forward these days in evening gowns. As designers use floral detailing, they are considerate of the need for a year-around dress, so the patterns are being done in darker colors and smaller prints. They also are boasting 3-demensional textured floral designs on evening gowns. This new look is being modeled by some of the most popular stars.
Whether it’s a work dinner party, a night out on the town, or a trip to a show, don’t miss out on Hollywood’s advice for gown apparel.
