Style 24-7: Ladies' Night

Celeb-inspired style that will keep you looking hot when out on the town.

By Celia L. Smith · September 25, 2012October 28, 2020
01
Casual

Where: Perfect look for hanging at the comedy club.

Why:  Ciara’s style is casual yet still fashion forward. The blouse is flowy and care-free, while the tapered wine colored jeans and pumps sharpen up her style.

02
Casual

Where: Your neighborhood bar.

Why: Seize the opportunity to trade in your heels for chucks if your kickin’ it locally. Opt for Meagan’s loose tank, cut-off denim shorts and cool bowler hat that takes minutes to throw together, so you can jump right into the fun comfortably.

03
Edgy

Where: A cool concert.

Why: Just because you’re not on the stage doesn’t mean you can’t rock a stage-worthy look. Solange’s fresh update on the classic motorcycle jacket paired with a mini dress and loud colored heels will keep you chic for the concert and after party.

04
Edgy

Where: A lounge or social club.

Why: A lounge is just that — a place where you can chill. Sport a look that’s polished with a bit of nonchalant edge like Angela did. A billowy tank, leather leggings and platforms are a simple recipe for a fab ensemble.

05
Sexy

Where: The night club.

Why: This notice-me-neon pink mini is the ultimate eye-catcher if you’re looking to turn heads. A bright colored body-con, plus keeping the accessories simple, will make you the life of the party.

06
Sexy

Where: A gallery opening.

Why: Who says you can’t be smart and sexy? A body-con will bring sass while the blazer adds class.

07
Sexy

Where: Dinner at a posh restaurant.

Why: Leather is a fool-proof sexy look. Opt for a sleek cut-out style like Iman’s that’s part strong and sultry to command attention.

08
Sexy

Where: Retail therapy.

Why: Look your best even while trying to decompress with a little shopping! A simple but sexy see-through top, skinny jeans, classic pumps and a pop-colored clutch will do the trick. And when you look good you feel good!

09
Elegant

Where: An evening at the theater.

Why: Bring the drama to your next Alvin Ailey performance or a Broadway play in a gorgeous gown with a glam shawl tossed over your shoulder to keep you cozy and cute.

Elegant

Where: A fancy dinner party in your fabulous new home.

Why: June’s dress strikes the perfect balance of relaxed but chic. The robe-like design and fluid fabric makes this an ideal look for hosting guests at your swanky dinner party.

11
Sophisticated

Where: A wine tasting.

Why: Angela’s midi dress is tastefuly spicy for the occasion. Find a frock that has an appropriate midi-length hem for the environment, but takes it there with a flirtatious plunging neckline.

Rob Kim/FilmMagic
12
Street Chic

Where: Backyard bash.

Why: Whether you’re feeling jeans or a dress, Nene and Jen’s look are two fly options. Pair a tuxedo blazer and jeans for a chic juxtaposition or find a flirty, girly dress with high hemline.
