Dressing up is fun, but getting dolled up in a designer dress is a slice of heaven. With so many options to choose from, the hardest part of shopping for a designer dress is not buying every single one.

Designer dresses all but guarantee an excellent fit and exquisite fabrics. Celine’s hammered silk dress luxuriously shimmers, while Christian Dior’s woven tweed dress with V-neck and wide layered sash exemplifies the array of designer creations. No premiere or awards show would be complete without the choicest designer dresses on the most beautiful stars, and Elle.com shows you how pick the designer dress for your special event. Alexander Wang’s shoulder cutout dress draws the eye upward and Prada’s red velvet V-neck dress accentuates the waist.

Cocktail dresses can be short and sassy or simple and sublime, but regardless of style, the right cocktail dress is an integral part of a woman’s wardrobe. Ali Marie Kahn, a Los Angeles celebrity stylist, encourages clients to fall head over heels when shopping for a dress. She also encourages keeping an open mind when searching for the perfect party dress.

“When shopping for different styles, avoid something too trendy and occasion specific. There are only a handful of places that a solid sequin mini are appropriate for, and a wedding isn’t one of them,” Kahn advises. “Stay away from certain fabrics like polyester and fabrics that fit into one season.”

Cocktail dresses worth wearing this season and beyond include Cynthia Rowley’s tulle drop-waist confection and Yoana Baraschi’s black and white lace-knit dress. And, because you can’t wear a pink silk organza cocktail dress to an office function, Elle.com favors Narciso Rodriguez’s black and camel cocktail dress that is appropriate and stylish and a silk and wool-blend bustier dress with contrast jersey T-shirt by Proenza Schouler.
