Many actresses showed up at the SAG Awards in floor-length gowns, but America Ferrera stood out in her dark-green plunging number. If you're going to a fancy event this New Years, follow America and don a Showstopping Maxi.
Long dresses are ideal for tall gals, but petite girls can pull it off with some high heels. Since you'll be covered with so much material, keep the accessories simple — a delicate necklace and a fun clutch will suffice. Now you're ready to stop the show!
One-shoulder dresses had a strong presence earlier in the year at the Oscars and they're still wowing us today. Cate Blanchett, in Armani Privé stole the show, so why not do the same this New Year's?
One(derful) Shoulder dresses are great for ladies who have chiseled shoulders and want to show them off. If your problem areas are below the waist, opt for an asymmetrical frock to draw attention to your décolletage. I'd stay away from necklaces but would rock a gorgeous cocktail ring and retro open-toe pumps.
Lauren Conrad is the queen of Little Black Dresses. She wears them often and she wears them well. LBDs are tricky because if the silhouette is uninteresting, or unflattering, your look can turn out quite trite. That is unless you pile on colorful accessories: fuchsia shoes, a metallic belt, a satin clutch.
Any girl can pull off a Lustworthy LBD, whether you're shy, sassy or craving attention. A dash of red lipstick and you'll be the siren all the boys will want to smooch at midnight.
This New Year's, do like Fergie did in her Jenny Packham sequined dress at the American Music Awards and don a Shiny Stunner. It'll surely turn some heads — in a good way.
Because sequin and metallic frocks are so eye catching, truly confident gals should go this route. Everything else in your ensemble — shoes, jewelry, outerwear — should be kept simple because although you want to attract attention, you don't want to overdo it. That said, you don't have to be boring. I'd suggest a red-patent shoe and unique stud earrings. You're on your way to a happy and shiny New Year!

The strapless silhouette is a classic. It's sexy without being too revealing, so it's ideal for gals who love to show off their décolletage and legs. Topped with rhinestone jewelry and sexy heels, you'll be the belle of the ball. Just make an effort to go shimmery and have fun . . . the looking hot part will be a given.
