When choosing dresses, you have an array of colors and it will be good not o stick with one tone. Try to maintain a balance between pastels, neon, bright and dark colors. And make sure you have one black dress and one beige colored dress for the upcoming season.
Jewelry
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. It is clear from the recent red carpet arrivals. Majority of celebrities have opted for diamonds with white gold or platinum mixed with shades of other metals and gemstones. That means white over white is the trend to follow.
If you have classic studs, great! They will rock (many celebrities have donned diamond studs). Trendy dangles, drops and chandeliers were other eye-candies at the event.
Stackable rings and bracelets were another noteworthy style of the award season. And we can’t miss to mention gorgeous and exceptional statement necklaces that were the major attraction of the event trends.
How to flaunt the jewels:
For a personalized look, try mixing your diamonds with colored stones and yellow or rose gold.

Sculpted updo, wavy locks, romantic buns, ballerina buns, brushed back, beach waves, curls, and what not! The different hairstyles oozed sophistication and sensuality. Similarly, dramatic lip shades and eye makeup made the style even more impressive.
How to do it right:
You can choose lighter lip shades with glossy touch for day times. Mauve, coral, nude, petal-pink few must-have lip colors for spring and summer. For eye makeup, get the inspiration from Jennifer Lawerance’s almond eyes, Lupita’s cat eyes or Portia’s sky-high lashes.
