Neon pink is an eye-catching alternative to traditional red. The best part? It works for all shapes, sizes and skin tones-just choose a dress in a silhouette that is flattering to you. Viola Davis wore a boatneck sheath from Michael Kors, while Kate Bosworth went with a floaty Richard Nicoll sundress.

A pair of leather shorts is an edgy skirt substitute that will instantly amp up a simple T-shirt or sweater. Supermodel Miranda Kerr wore a pair from The Row, while Lauren Conrad went proudly faux in her own design from Paper Crown.

Showing skin is perfectly ladylike when a crop top is paired with a high-waist skirt. Both Scarlett Johansson (in Dolce & Gabbana) and Rooney Mara (in Miu Miu) kept their bellybuttons under wraps while revealing a flash of upper abs.

A deep-V neckline turns an otherwise demure tea-length white dress into a sultry stunner. Malin Akerman (in Tommy Hilfiger) and Claire Danes (in Donna Karan) have both worked this look, which is ideal for those with smaller chests.

Have a boyish figure? Create an instant hourglass with a peplum top over a straight skirt. Ashley Greene accentuated her curves in Givenchy, while Charlize Theron chose a Stella McCartney design.

Go nude with a top and trousers in skin tone-flattering neutral shades. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley matched separates from The Row to her fair skin, while Heidi Klum played up her tan with a Haute Hippie top and Paige jeans.

High-Slit Skirt

Show some (but not all) leg in a skirt or dress with a high slit. Choose a pencil-skirt-with-a-twist like Angelina Jolie's Michael Kors number or a printed wrap dress inspired by Amanda Seyfried's Michael Angel design.
