Say yes to pleats please! They're flattering and conform to a woman's shape in all the right places. Just look at this magnificent Atelier Versace gown Marisa wore to the Oscars. We love it. Marisa's earrings and cuff are both from Van Cleef and Arpels.There's two reasons to tackle a look as stunning as this one. Either you need something for a very chic cocktail party or for your wedding. Here's how to do it:For a cocktail party this Black Halo inverted pleat dress is spectacular. These ALL BLACK kitten heels are very ladylike and, for a little fun, these silver star square bangles from Bee Charming are adorable. There's no rule that says you have to get your wedding dress from the bridal department. We adore Valentino's ivory pleated gown and what other occasion is it suitable for other than a wedding? Since it has built in jewelry all you need is a pair of stud earrings like these from Meg Carter Designs. Stay away from an all white shoe and try these d'orsay pumps by Charles David. Happy honeymoon!
