How to define the look for a
formal occasion?
First, take a
look at your persona. Analyze who you really are.
Are you the wild girl who can dress in something totally
outrageous and still feel confident? Or are you the shy
one who feels most comfortable in a conservative evening
gown? Are you comfortable showing some skin? Or
you need to be more casual rather than formal? You
better define this well because if you are not comfortable in
the persona you present, you will look phony (and thus, less
attractive). (Related article: How
to be fashion conscious?)
Two, pick one
(or two) public figure that you would want to like like.
This person should also be similar to you in body shape, and
preferably, looks and personality. You don't have to
like this person as such, as long as you like her style.
Once you have done this, do as much research as possible, and
more importantly, try to collect her photos. The best way
to find the photos is to do an image search for your favorite
celebrity's name.
If it is a family member or friend, borrow some pictures in
various outfits. (Related:

Finally,
determine your look for that special moment:
- What time
of the day it is?
- What month of the year?
- How is
the weather going to be?
- What image would you like to
project?
- Are you the only star or just one of the many
stars?
- What kind of formal dresses will others wear?
