AVOIDING BOREDOM @ RED CARPET

When women make an effort, they're projecting their healthy self-worth onto the world. Red carpet can be so dangerous. But playing safe is so no no. Sticks to the same boring color palette every single time hits the red carpet (black, white and nude)? It won't be memorable. It's so boring that you can't even remember a single one unmemorable looks. The playing safe formula is simple: hair down, monochrome outfit, one piece of gold jewelry, be feminine and voila you just literally look beautifully dull. Get out there and play with color, texture and silhouette! Find your own signature style!

But these pictures from In Style can show us that red carpet can be fun too, without being so safe and dull.
