Red Carpet Celebrity Dresses For Your Formal Party

Even if your next formal event is far from Hollywood, you can still capture that special sparkle that makes celebrities shine on the red carpet. Here's how to get the look, no matter what your budget if you're a creative person who enjoys dressing in one of a kind fashions during the day, look for a unique formal dress, creative touches. If you've got a sculpted back, toned arms or long legs, choose a dress that shows off your best feature.

If it's a Christmas party, shimmery jewel tones work well. Increase the glitter level for New Year's Eve parties with gold or silver. Spring is prom season, and bright, springtime colors are perfect. Short dresses are all the rage, but check your school's dress code before baring too much thigh. During the summer, indoor air conditioning can freeze bare shoulders, so bring along a short wrap or coordinating jacket.

Formal celebrity dresses usually hug the body somewhere, but they don't have to fit tightly at all the wrong places. If you have a roll around the abdominal area, choose an empire waisted gown or one that gathers right under the bustline. As an alternative solution, consider investing in waist-cinching shapewear. Even Scarlett O’Hara needed a bit of help from a corset. If you have a slender waist with large hips and bust, cocktail and evening dresses inspired by "Mad Men" will show off your hourglass figure.

You've probably seen pictures of celebrities with pale, washed out coloring on the red carpet wearing equally washed out, colored evening gowns. These gowns consistently make the worst dressed lists, but the gown isn't the problem at all. The gown would look lovely on African American or other dark complexioned skin. Dark skin also looks beautiful in rich, jewel tones or pure white. If you have light skin with a bluish undertone, choose a dress with a bluish undertone such as raspberry, lavender, or aqua. If you have light skin with a peach undertone, as do most redheads, opt for a dress with subtle orange undertones or go for a contrast with green.
