For anyone watching the American Idol Results show, you saw the stunning silk crepe satin and iridescent silk chiffon dress worn by Kimberley Locke. Designed by Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, the dress is now up for auction to benefit Camp Heartland, a program helping children impacted by HIV/AIDS. See the American Idol website for details.

The most important thing to look for in any dress is the cut. Fortunately, any cut is in style this season, unlike the trapeze dress popular last year that flattered so few figures. Try on different styles and find the one that compliments your body. Pleats and draping are all the rage and lend an elegant air, such as these by Bora Aksu.

Here the girls wear geometric and floral patterns, but Safari inspired designs also have their place this season. It can be tricky to pull off large patterned designs, but any girl can do it as long as she has a great belt to cinch in at the waist as the girls do here.

Ms. Victoria Beckham, in keeping with her own fashion advice, is spotted in Los Angeles this past weekend wearing a fashion staple: the nude heel. Victoria says in her style guide, That Extra Half An Inch that a necessity for every shoe collection is the beige shoe because it gives the appearance of wearing no shoes at all, thereby elongating those gams to give the appearance of legs that go on for miles! Another plus: they go with anything in your closet!
