The cocktail dress is possibly among the most adaptable of all special occasion looks and the best thing about them is that you don't even need to drink in order to wear it. The catwalks in London, New York, Paris and Milan have been awash with an entire plethora of cocktail dresses. The year 2011 has taken to Princess Wedding Dresses with gusto.
For the women attending, these drinking get-togethers were too formal for regular daywear, but too informal for true evening wear, so a new fashion evolved that was initially inspired by flapper dresses. Originally designed for younger women, the new cocktail dresses were short, and typically made from silk and layered chiffon. This allowed for the women to still look fashionable, without having to get too dressed up.
Stay away from stereotypes. Pregnant women can carry off strapless dresses just as well as any other woman. Think the heavily preggers Natalie Portman at the latest Awards. Not only did she stun the crowd in her strapless pink creation but she also managed to be voted the most well dressed woman at the Awards.
This one is probably an eternal favorite from the Red Carpet to the elaborate parties. Sequins & sparkles make it to almost every cocktail dress. This season they dominate. Go all out and buy yourself a sparkling creation.Dazzle everyone present with you presence. Combine the glitter with a little backcombing and a messy French pleat. Add to it plenty of eye make up. Sexy, smoky eyes always do the trick and are probably the finest accompaniments to party wear. Go ahead - layer on the eyeliner and then it smudge it up a bit for the perfect devil may care attitude.
From shoulders to hemlines, the asymmetric style statement is the biggest red carpet trend to hit Hollywood in a while. But why should fashion be reserved for the A-list? Go ahead; get yourself a beautiful asymmetric cocktail dress. Team it up with a gorgeous hair-do. Try out a side parting - it works the best with a one-shouldered piece irrespective of if you chose to leave your tresses loose or tie it up! Go slow on the jewelry and let heavy on the eye make up.
