They Don't Come Better than Liv Tyler

Look at this stunning Stella McCartney gown on super stunning Liv Tyler. This lady's on my make out list:



What we can learn from this:

• Set off pale skin with a deep gem-tone--everything about you will light up.
• You can go for a super-deep v-neck without looking trashy if it's in the context of something refined, i.e. a wrap dress with cap sleeves.
• A little cinch goes a long way. The tonal belt/hem at the waist keeps your eye on the narrowest part of her torso. It enhances her figure, and it's not so tight that she's bulging out around it.
• When you're going dramatic in the dress (color, cut, length), keep the makeup simple. Liv looks fresh, clean, and dewy. Dark lipstick and cat eyes would've turned the dress costume-y.
• Show a little leg. There's a slit. It's in the front. She's poking her foot out of it coyly. Just do as she does.

I want a job that requires me to wear gowns on a regular basis...
