I see celebrities at special events on television all the time. They wear some of the best designer dresses at the hottest events of the season. Here are a few celebrities I decided to style for a special event, gowns provided by Nika.


Alicia Keys is a beautiful music artist and actress that have won many awards for her creations. She has a nice shape that will fit perfect into a Nika gown.

Change Ur Style Up!!!!!!!

Best Fit for Your Body

Finding a prom dress to fit your body type can be hard if you’re new to the formal scene. Knowing silhouettes can help find a dress that is flattering to the body. There are seven different silhouettes offered when shopping for the perfect prom dress.

A-line (princess cut)

A- line is form-fitting at the bodice and flares out into a full skirt at the natural waist. It has a seamless waistline which helps hide stomach, hips, and thighs. It is flattering to most body types.





Empire cut

An empire cut dress has a high waistline, beginning just beneath the bust, and a long full skirt that flows straight from this waistline. The empire style camouflages a pear shape or thick waist and creates an illusion of height for short or petite figures.







Sheath


A sheath is a slim dress with fabric detail that hugs curves and outlines the silhouette of your body. The sheath is perfect for sleeveless styles and tends to show off a well-toned body. Sheath dresses are especially beautiful and graceful on tall, thin figures.






Tea-Length


A tea-length dress is a gown that is hemmed to the end just at the thigh, knee, or shin. It has a fun and flirty appearance that is perfect for a slightly casual or more relaxed appearance at the prom. This dress style is ideal if your calves are your best feature or you have a tall, thin figure.





High-Low Gown


A high-low gown is hemmed long in the back (at the ankles or to the floor) and just above the knees in the front. This trendy, new style creates a unique, sexy prom dress appearance. It is perfect for showing off long legs and an hourglass figure.






Tulle Skirt




A bouffant gown is characterized by a sheer, puffed-out skirt often made from stiffened rayon or silk. The skirt of this type of gown is similar to a ballerina tutu. The flared skirt is perfect for disguising a bottom-heavy figure.




Ball Gown

A ball gown is characterized by a very full skirt that begins at the natural waist and proceeds to floor length. The waist is seamed and may be styled in various shapes and designs. The ball gown style visually cuts the body in half and is ideal on average to tall figures.

What you need for your gown

Under garments

Control tops are important when wearing your ideal form fitting gown. Here is a Lily Seamless Bustier for $67.00 on Sydney’s Closet.com. Make sure you have the proper under garments for your gown with the back out. Nude under garments works best!!! Certain undergarments are required to look classy and not trashy.










Control bottoms are important when wearing your gown also. It will be able to smooth out the body and creates a silhouette. Here’s a Spanx Footless Super Control for $26.00 on Sydney’sCloset.com. Make sure you have the proper under garments for your gown with a form fitting silhouette. Make sure also you don’t have any panty lines.

Lisa Raye in a Mauri Simone dress

Actress Lisa Raye, plays a divorced wife on the CW sitcom All of Us. She has also played a struggling single-parent college student in The Playa’s Club. Lisa Raye is a sophisticated actress with style and a great sense of fashion. She is gorgeous with her charming smile and has a vibrant yet laid-back personality. She has walked the red carpet and has hosted The Hip Hop Source: All Access Awards in 2000. Lisa Raye has been seen purchasing a Mauri Simone evening gown I wonder where she wore it.

Mauri Simone’s Spring line is HOT!!!!

Mauri Simone’s Spring line is HOT!!!! You can get a closer look at Chicago’s Merchandise Mart on Oct. 4-7th where there will be beautiful prom dresses that are sophisticated, elegant, and chic.
