Let's talk about event dressing

Good heavens! In this case, Ugly Betty isn't too far off. I'm not sure how this look left America Ferrera's hotel room, or moreover, was CHOSEN for the premier of her new movie How to Train Your Dragon. As a young Hollywood actress, dressing the part, literally here, is important.
Actually, the same line of thinking is VERY relevant for your life even if the social calendar isn't getting 1,000 miles in range of a red carpet. Give yourself a week to pull it together so you aren't scrambling at the last minute, wasting time and money, putting together a lackluster look.
Don't tell me that you didn't know your best friend was getting married this weekend.
Keep in mind the following commandments:
  • Location & climate (FL vs. AK)
  • Reason (wedding vs. funeral)
  • Your role (attendant vs. participant)
  • Vibe/Scene (Black tie, festive, low key, costume, arty)
  • YOUR OWN STYLE!!! (wear what is you... not the trend, not what Jessica Simpson wears)
Back to America - the occasion (her movie premier) calls for something special and light, fresh, playful but not childish, stern, sexy or severe. She isn't the headlining actor so not going with a It's in NYC so the look needs a degree of edge and curiosity.
Shades of America I want to see...
