Rhinestone-studded bodices or beaded straps score big with gals hoping to add a bit of pizazz without overpowering their ensembles. Formalwear designer Jessica McClintock offers an array of head-turning separates. David's Bridal offers a set in pink organza. More adventurous ladies can show some skin in a backless top, complete with crisscrossed ties. But if you dare to bare, don't forget to stand up straight and walk with confidence.
Nothing ruins a look like slouched shoulders.
And since the skirts for these dynamic duos can be full and princess-like or sleek and body hugging, girls of different shapes and sizes can get in on the action. These dresses usually hang right around the knee, so they're perfect for petite girls who might be put off by floor-length skirts. Think Renee Zellweger's free-flowing yellow dress at the Academy Awards. One distinct trend is to have a sheath of thin fabric or lace that falls over the dress. Suble jewelry, like a simple diamond or rhinestone pendant, and a tousled updo with plenty of loose locks to frame the face, complement the innocent yet breathtaking look.
