Gown for the 31st Gala

Gowns are meant to fit right; flaunting the curves and concealing the insecurities. Trying on different styles will help you find the one that flatters your body the best! A gown that fits perfectly is the biggest confidence booster you could ask for on New Year's Eve!

Having an eye for something eccentric and outstanding will make your night even more special. Gowns with common styles and patterns should be avoided; this will make sure your distinctive aura does not collide with the mainstream. Look out for unique styles in stores. Or, resort to magazines and runways for creative inspirations and get your dress tailored! A customised outfit will fit you better than the ready-made ones too.

After spotting the perfect dress, take some time and figure out what hairstyle and make-up would go best with it. Pre-planning the entire look will save you time before the night and also evade chances of any mishaps. Putting the look together once before the evening is highly encouraged; just in case your imagination doesn't go as planned, you'll know exactly what to fix!

Now that we've planned out the essentials, choosing the right accessories will complete your starry outfit! Simple accessories tend to complement formals more; so choose wisely! Less is definitely more when it comes to styling a gown. Select a matching clutch to pair with the overall theme. Add a pair of heels and you'd be 31st-ready! (Don't forget to keep a cute pair of flats as a back-up in case you need it after a long night!)

With all that out of the way, remember one important thing, don't sweat it! You're gorgeous as you are! A thoughtful styling, paired with your beautiful smile, and the incredible confidence will make this night lively! Be the best version of yourself and welcome the new year with the open arms of your stunning spirit!

NYE GALA

The 31st gala unites friends and families; the main reason that makes this night just so special! Along with hosting and attending the perfect parties, we want to have everyone's attention to ourselves, don't we? To own the spotlight in a room full of dozens of people, styling is the mantra!

Gowns are classic and timeless. For a formal evening, gowns are rather mandatory! Gowns need to be chosen scrupulously. The same dress can look very different depending on one's body-type.
