Melanie says, “I got my hubby and I tix for a moonlight cruise, and I have no idea what to wear. I like a glam look, but it doesnt have to be a dress. I’m open to anything, as long as its sexy, chic and glam. I like bold bright colors, but I also have an affinity for black. Any help is great! Thanks.”
I’d say you should definitely go for elegant in a dress accented by platform sandals. I fell in love with this chic Salvatore Ferragamo dress (if it looks familiar, Cassie wore the jumpsuit version not too long ago in Cannes):
Accent with my current obsession, Jimmy Choo Letitia sandals, along with a Vanities Skull Clutch:

For some reason, I was obsessed with capturing a nautical theme for this look! To achieve, why not try a striped sequined dress, like this Kimmy number by Alice + Olivia?
Finish off with another pair of must have shoes: Rachel Zoe Blake Sandals (again, I’m obsessed). Add a few red accents, like a crimson colored purse, and of course rouge lips. Bring along a jacket in case you get cold.
Get the look for a steal here:
As we saw in our Beyonce Revel Style Inspiration, a jumpsuit is also a cute choice for a nighttime event:
Catherine Malandrino does a chic one piece in blue. Add a bit of pizzazz with patterned heels like the Casadei two toned leopard crystal heels displayed above:

If black is more your thing, an lbd will always work:
Add a dash of fun with spiked sandals and a clutch in a bright color:

What do you think?
Which of these would you rock?

Okay I am going to need all of the outfits. Ms. Claire, who is the designer of the shoe you put in the actual picture of the jumpsuit. I don’t see that listed, in the market for a new pair of leaopard pumps and haven’t seen those.

I saw a similar look for less at Cato’s for the first look, it was gorgeous. The print was almost the same, but a different silhouette.
