I must say, Katie Cassidy is turning heads as the blonde hottie on the upcoming Melrose Place. She definately has it down… the “Sexy but Serious” face, the “I’m a Star” red carpet pose” and of course, the fun, flirty, and totally appropriate attire to match.
LOOK 1: At the Melrose Place premiere party she opted for a blue one shoulder slightly see through mini, with a silver mesh swarovski clutch and stud detailed black sandals. This sparkly mini has just the right amount of shimmer and the platform heels give this look a funky edge. While I love this look, we have seen a few starlettes rockin the 1 shoulder shimmer dress (remember Sienna Miller at the MTV Movie Awards). I thought we could go for somehting fresh and fun like TopShops “Hologram 1 Shoulder Dress” for $80.00 at topshop.com . Its very 1980′s, love it!
LOOK 2: At the Nylon Magazine’s TV Issue Launch Party party Cassidy went for a more “wild” look, pairing a Nicole Miller leopard mini and Rock & Republic “Mika” pumps with jet grommet detailing on the heels. She even did what most wouldn’t dare: she paired a leopard Judith Leiber clutch with her leopard dress. However, the contrast of the gold tone crystal studded clutch coordinated with her gold accessories against a more earth tone shaded dress saved her look from what might have been leopard overkill! Check out the “Teeze Me Satin Dress” in white/brown chita print for $70.00 at nordstrom.com . I also like the Steve Madden “Terific” pump in magenta for $99.95 atstevemadden.com. The extra platform at the bottom makes them more then just a simple pump.
LOOK 3: For the InStyle Magazines Summer Soiree, Cassidy was quite the “classy lady,” rocking a black and white printed Balenciaga dress with sexy silver sandals. Once again she was a bit daring, adding a patterned multi colored clutch to top off the look. Im not sure if that particular clutch was an after thought, but I must say, It Just Works! She really pulled off this ensemble. I found this great clutch that transitions from summer to fall by “Global Elements” for $43.00 at like.com .
So for all of you out there that want a night on the town to look like a star, just remember its all about confidence and owning your look. From bold leopard to slinky shimmer to ladylike satin, Katie Cassidy shined in all 3 looks. Clothing should be fun and fearless. If attitude was an outfit, what would yours be? – JW
