The subtle detail, touch of elegance in the trail and just enough sex appeal without being inappropriate makes this dress scream glamour.

Thinking out of the box was the vision behind this creation, and it was a success. Ciara is not overwhelmed by the voluminous tiers, and she does well by keeping the rest of the look sleek.

Jennifer Lopez

JLo gets props, mainly because she chose to stay away from the thigh-high slit and cut-out combination. This ball gown is fit for a princess and she embodies the look graciously.

Eniko Parrish

Eniko is one to watch. She has a knack for getting it right and we are always eager to see what she will be wearing. Roll on the next red carpet event.

Khloé Kardashian

What puts this dress on our favourites list is its simplicity. It’s refreshing to see celebs making a statement without being over the top. Well done, Khloe!

Nicki Minaj

This new Nicki can definitely stay. She’s done a lot of maturing over the years and it’s evident in her outfit choices. We love to watch someone evolve and blossom.

Rita Ora

Sophistication is the word to describe this amazing gown. The shades of navy and gold reflect beautifully against Rita’s skin; she looks effortless.

Tia Mowry

Exaggerated sleeves, fringe hairstyle, a dark lip and minimal accessories are a sure way to turn fashion heads. Tia gets a round of applause for pulling off what would’ve completely fallen flat on someone else.

Zoe Saldana

What makes Zoe so appealing is that she doesn’t believe in being over the top. She always manages to blow us away without the unnecessary drama, and this dress is another example of that. It’s feminine, soft and inspiring.

Breezy gets the nod for not being a typical plain black-suit guy. This rugged look works. The undone bow tie, hat and round-framed sunglasses gives it a vintage flavour that’s oh so cool.
