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.

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.
