Primary Colors

The Ensemble:

This look is perfect for a semi-formal evening where you want to look classic, yet modern and bold, yet understated. This beautiful, blue Zac Posen cocktail dress is paired up with the YSL peep toe heels and clutch. Accessories are subtle with David Yurman earrings and a John Hardy cuff. 

The Hair/Makeup Look:

Let the beautiful Zac Posen dress do all the talking and keep your makeup and hair simple. Angelina Jolie always looks so effortlessly put together! All she seems to have on is smoky eyeliner, but she manages to look glamorous anyway. 

The Damage: $$$$$

Zac Posen and Yves Saint Laurent are not cheap designer labels. This exact ensemble is for a woman who will pay to look posh. However, it can be achieved on the cheap with a blue cocktail dress from Forever 21, or even somewhere like Ross, and a red clutch.
