How to stand out:
- Choose a flattering color; don’t give in to wearing a dress in a color you don’t like, even if your favorite star wore it at the Oscar’s.
- When you decide on a dress, make sure that the style fits with your height, weight and skin tone. Celebrities don’t always get this one right. You want the dress to flatter you and you want those looking at you to see you in the dress and not just “the dress.”
- Don’t cut your hair in a new style a few days before wearing the new dress. The worst thing in the world: A beautiful new dress with a haircut you hate.
- Stand tall. Remember what you’re mother said. A dress always looks better on a girl with good posture.
In the end, the red carpet dress of your dreams doesn’t even have to have the right label to give you the red carpet look you’ve been searching for.
