The most important thing is that you have fun! Red Carpet Success Do not choose something you feel awkward in or that doesn’t fit you properly. You should feel comfortable in what you are wearing and that is says what you want it to say about you. Whatever outfit you choose, make sure it reflects your personal style, whether you are classic and chic or bold and bright. If you’re not sure, pick a colour that matches or complements your eye colour. Ladies with cool skin tones will look better in cooler colours like blues and greens. ![]() If you have a warm skin tone, you will look fantastic in hot or earthy colours and golden shades. I personally think that you can never go wrong with navy blue or a fabulous jewel colour, like amethyst purple, ruby red, cobalt blue or emerald green. Once you know what styles will suit you, you need to pick a colour that will compliment your personality and your natural colouring. A full length evening dress in a soft, floaty fabric such as chiffon or georgette will elegantly feminise you and add shape to your straight figure. Ruching and draping will work wonders to achieve this, and add a bit of bulk to your chest and hips, especially if belted at the waist. If this sounds like you, try to feminise your look by creating the illusion of curves through your clothes. Straight: A straight, boyish figure typically has a small bust, small hips, and not much of a waist. If you are a pear shape, go for something fitted on the top that either hangs straight or flares out from the hips to hide them. If you are an hourglass with a tummy, try a 1950s style dress with a circle skirt that flares over your hips and tummy, but shows off your waist. If you are a well-proportioned hourglass shape with a flat tummy you will look fantastic in a fitted, full length dress that shows off your curves. Both pear and hourglass shapes should show off their small waists by wearing a belt or a dress that is fitted in at the waist, and flares out, or drapes over the hips. The only difference is the hips and bum of a pear shaped lady are wider than her top half, whereas an hourglass figure is more proportional. Pear & Hourglass: The pear and hourglass silhouettes can often be quite similar in shape, with a nipped-in waist, curvy hips, bum and bust. A ‘V’ neckline is also very flattering if you have a large bust, and helps to break it up and elongate the neck and décolletage area. An ‘A’ line dress that flares from the waist or under the bust is ideal for skimming over the tummy and balancing out a top-heavy frame. Often apple shaped women have great legs, so make the most of them and show them off in a knee length cocktail dress. Choose something that will drape softly over your tummy to hide it, and nothing too clingy. If this is similar to your figure, try dresses that create a waist with ruching or tailoring. Know Your ShapeīAFTA/Richard Kendal Apple: An apple shaped body has a rounded tummy, not much of a waist and full bust. ![]() ![]() The only way to do this is, is to learn what shape that is, and what styles suit it. Dress appropriately for you age to avoid the ‘mutton dressed as lamb’ look, but no matter how old you are, the key to red carpet success is choosing an outfit that flatters your body shape. To achieve this, choose an outfit that covers the parts of your body you don’t like and tastefully enhances those that you do. Sophistication and elegance are key when creating your red carpet look.
