Dressing the part by going for the gold is always a win. This totally glam, head-to-toe sequined look has a surprising bohemian twist, thanks to easy, undone hair and a velvet tassel clutch. Natural makeup and understated jewelry let the dress take center stage.

Ethereal romance will never not be gorgeous, especially in a dreamy white gown. Update the classic vibe and go sculptural with 3D flowers and an airy, flowing texture. Slicked-back hair and a dramatic eye are the picture-perfect complement to this modern take on pretty.

If black is your go-to for occasion dressing, amp up the specialness with detailing that adds serious interest, like sheer illusion. A sleek bob and body-hugging silhouette add a sultry edginess a lacy feminine look.

It’s all about a classic look when it comes to the men – but don’t be afraid to add your own twist. A ruffled shirt and velvet lapel create depth for the traditional tux, without feeling out of place at a black-tie event. And expert tailoring makes all the difference when it comes to men’s suiting.
