Cocktail Party Fashion

We had a cocktail party on the “Wendy Show” today and the entire audience showed off their favorite cocktail attire.

It’s that time of year again when the invitations to holiday cocktail parties start arriving.

Fashion expert Tai Beauchamp showed us the hottest cocktail dresses for the season.

Step out in style with these fierce cocktail looks!

Pomegranate Martini
Tip: Petite girls should tailor hemline to the proper height.

Just like taller girls, petite girls have difficulty with hemlines being either too short or too long. If you find a dress that fits you, don’t be afraid to get it tailored. Opaque tights that match your pumps will help elongate your legs.

The Dirty Martini
Tip: Pair a shoe with pop when wearing silver or gold sequins.

When you’re wearing a dress with silver or gold shine, or a monotone color, you don’t need a lot of accessories. Wear a nice pop color shoe instead of a traditional black pump.
