The Look

Whether you’re sticking to your signature or totally committing to a party’s theme – dress to the nines. Take your go-to hue (ahem, that sugarcoated blue) to the next level with an ethereal silhouette and icy extras. Angelic vision? We think so. If you’re feeling daring, channel your inner RiRi in something that’s over the top. A yellow embellished gown and an ornate headpiece are guaranteed to turn heads. Good evening, belle of the (Met) ball.

The Hair & Makeup

Call in the glam squad and complete your look with super sultry makeup. Think: smudged kohl liner. A nude glossy lip. Highlighter (and lots of it). Finish things off with a less-is-more hairstyle to let your dress steal the show.
