Posts with tag red carpet style

It's always good start with a solid foundation -- and by "solid foundation," I'm talking about keeping your curvaceous curves from wiggling, jiggling, and bulging all over the place. In the past, we could rely on the control top of pantyhose, but no one, and I mean no one, still wears pantyhose, do they? Do they?!?!

Since we don't get control top, and given that Dr. 90210's appointment book is probably filled up until 2010 (the stitches wouldn't heal by the time you had to go to your event anyway), the best thing we can do to tuck in our tummies is a girdle. Don't be afraid of the word. I know it sounds like some horrible thing that your grandmother used to wear in the '50s, but these days, we can call them "shapers." Spanx is an entire line of underthings that help "shape" us where we might have a little too much shape.

So suck it in, spank it into place, and don't breathe for the rest of the night.

While we're talking about red carpet style here at Styledash, let's talk about what these celebrities do with the outfits once they've sashayed around the event for a few hours. They could potentially wear it again, but we know how much of a faux pas that would be (for a celeb, that is. I've worn the same cocktail dress three weekends in a row to different parties!).

Rather than letting the dress gather dust in the closet, many celebrities are donating their duds to The Clothes Off Our Back Foundation, which hosts charity auctions of celebrity attire, then gives the proceeds to children's charities. Currently, the hottest auctions are for clothing from the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards, but I'm sure very soon we may see some things from the Grammys.
