The Bombshell

There’s really no other actress today who embodies the hourglass shape quite like this Modern Family comedian. Last year, she played up her silhouette in a body-hugging gown. Love her look? Stick to one metallic hue, and choose matte accessories to break up the sparkle.

The Designer Darling

While some actresses stick to simplicity, we have an affinity for those who embrace and adore high fashion. Case in point: This Homeland star, who often wins best-dressed in one-of-a-kind designer frocks. Channel her style by choosing a gown with a special standout feature, like a pretty print or dramatic ruffles, that will set you apart from the rest.

The Risk-Taker

Sometimes, the details make the whole outfit, like this one on Empire’s leading lady. The peekaboo cutout shows just enough skin, while chain links and studs add a zing of edge. Try this vibe with polished hair and makeup to keep the spotlight on the tough-girl embellishments.
