Dress Like the Stars: Bare One Shoulder

Baring a shoulder is increasingly becoming the substitution for showing cleavage, and it works well for dresses of all types.

Short dresses, like Ginnifer Goodwin’s red holiday dress and Emmy Rossum’s pink dress look sexy and flirtatious, cut off at the knee and showing one shoulder looks great - if the rest of it is simple. Going overboard will take away any goodness this dress has to offer.

Long dresses, like Joy Bryant’s silver dress or Jennifer Lopez’s light pink dress, or her black and embellished Golden Globe dress look great with only one shoulder (especially J-Lo’s - love it), and the definition at the waist. Don’t wear jewelry with this look, or it’s a bit too much.

Tailored dresses, like Eva Longoria’s silver dress or Kate Bosworth’s white cream look elegant and professional, but are still sexy. Accessories are okay with this look, but they should be simple and ladylike.
