The Perfect Party Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 15:48:21 -0700

This Mason by Michelle Mason Knot Dress, which Madonna rocked for her appearance on TRL, may just be the world's most fabulous party dress. With a deep V in the front and a diamond-shaped cut-out in the back, it's flirty, sassy, and dead sexy. Better yet, the stretchy rayon blend is so comfortable, you'll feel like you're wearing a t-shirt. It's also very versatile. Here, Kate Walsh wears it ladylike with summer wedges, while a Fabsugar editor shows off a sexy nighttime look:

The dress is available for $275 here in a variety of colors. To see a similar but amazingly affordable version of the dress, read more

Here's the best part: If you don't feeling like paying $275 for the look, Victoria's Secret has just come out with a similar style with the same front knot, cut-out back, and asymmetrical hem. Buy it here for just $65.

Pair it with some Fangol Florals or Silicone Gel Petals to feel comfortable and carefree. To prevent visible panty lines, wear a pair of Spanx.

Molly — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:12:41 -0800

While many of us were chowing down on Thanksgiving, some stars were all decked out for the re-opening of the hotel La Mamounia in Marrakech, Morocco yesterday. Jennifer Aniston led the way in her sexy black gown after arriving in town just in time for the party. Orlando Bloom had his glamorous girlfriend Miranda Kerr on his arm while Salma Hayek opted for a one-shouldered dress. Gwyneth Paltrow went with something lighter as she spent the American holiday away from her family. Adrien Brody recently wowed us with his hot shirtless abs in Hawaii, but he also looked pretty dapper all dressed up to hit the red carpet.

Here's a fun post frugalfashion22 shared in The Frugal Fashionista group.

It’s holiday time and you know what that means: shopping for party dresses. This season I decided I want to show a little skin. What better way to do it than with an off-the-shoulder cocktail dress? I’ve found three show-stoppers all for $100 or less! This dress from T-Bags is sure to make a statement at your party. Made of a stunning gold jacquard fabric, it features a large asymmetrical bow across the bust area. The bubble skirt and empire waist will give you an instant sexy hourglass silhouette. And you won't believe the price - originally $335, it’s now 70% off, and yours for $100. Find it at theoutnet.com.
