Hannah Weil — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 03:30:48 PDT

Our Summer days are admittedly preoccupied with thoughts of slipping out of the office early - outfitted in our favorite Summer dress - to grab a cocktail in the sun. Channeling Jalouse's Miami Belle editorial in a printed cocktail dress, we imagine sipping a cool beverage and soaking up the rays just as the sun's starting to fade. Fantasies aside, Summer cocktail dresses are a real necessity. From our seasonal weddings to weekend parties, our little dresses are in constant use. Along those lines, we've made adding to your wardrobe just a little easier. Craving a new party dress? Just click through to shop 20 of our favorite cocktail-perfect frocks, all under $150. Speaking of cocktail dresses, our own FabTV host Allison McNamara found seven ultra-sexy dresses for under $200, be sure to check it out!

The Covet List: Jason Wu Cocktail Dress

Noria Morales — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:04:00 PDT

The Piece: Jason Wu Strapless Ruffle-Front Dress

The Investment: $2,550

Why We Covet: Hello, beautiful. We love, really, really love, Jason Wu's feminine and delicate take on womenswear. The dress is gorgeous and sexy from afar, but get up close and that's where you see how special it is. The silk organza dress has a black tulle-covered bodice, and the layered skirt at the waist falls into a gorgeous lace and organza ruffle down the front. The combination of feminine details - lace, boning, ruffles - with the nude, blush, and black colors make this one dreamy and completely sophisticated dress.

There's no more iconic ode to LBDs and pearls than Holly Golightly standing before a Tiffany's window in the classic Breakfast at Tiffany's. We still have our pearls and LBDs, but unless the prim ladylike look your grandmother rocked is your goal, it's time to think about combining pearls and little black dresses in fresh and modern ways. We found 10 dresses and 10 pearl necklaces that are incredibly chic and fresh, and when paired together, they are knockout gorgeous.

Love It or Hate It? BCBG Open Back Cocktail Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 08:00:22 PST

The retailer that sells this BCBG Open Back Cocktail Dress ($298) describes it as sexy, and that certainly isn't a lie. Observe - it has an open back, open sides, and a keyhole in the middle. The color is gorgeous and the draping lavish, but I would have liked it more if the sides were covered. Am I being too modest?

Look of the Day: Dreamgirl

FabSugar — Thu, 31 May 2007 07:45:44 PDT

Shoeaholic took a page out of the Dreamgirls costume book with her limelight-catching shimmery cocktail number. I love how the classic cut of the dress flatters her body, and the black fabric tones down the sequins so the look is totally glamorous. The silver and black shine of the shoes ties in well with the dress too!

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Mango
Shoes: Friis Company

Congrats to Shoeaholic!
