Get Her Prom Look
Be bold in black like Jessica Alba
Transform a classic LBD with lashings of showstopping accessories and slick of vamp-red lip gloss. Jessica Alba might be dripping with diamonds, but you can recreate her sparkly style on a smaller budget by investing in a pair of striking chandelier earrings from Accessorize. The Fantastic Four star has gone all out in the glamour stakes with a chunky charm bracelet that offsets the block colour dress to perfection.
The flattering full-skirted shape and banded waist will suit all skin tones – blondes will look pale and interesting, brunettes like Jessica mysterious and exotic while redheads will be given an aura of fiery drama. Monsoon’s Maris Mesh dress is a great copycat, complete with a daring deep V neck and layered skirt. If you’ve got mid-length to long hair you can sweep it back into a graceful chignon like Jessica. She has opted for a side parting, which is softer and more relaxed that a centre one, framing her features nicely. If your hair is shorter at the front, let a few tendrils hang loose.
Before applying make up, be sure to prime your skin with a light moisturiser and base, then add foundation or tinted moisturiser with a brush for an air-brushed finish. Blend a neutral shade over your eyelids, with a lighter shade up by your brow bone, and keep brows tidy for definition. If you’re fair-haired select a brown shade of eyeliner instead of black, and finish with two coats of mascara (curl lashes first) and red gloss.
