Of course, most of these women will have had a little help from a professional make up artist and they're wearing designer gowns, who wouldn't when invite to an A-list event, knowing you're going to be photographed on the red carpet.

How Can I Look Like A Celebrity ?

We're all individual, and the best way to approach any wedding is to try and look your very best.

As well as choosing the right outfit to wear, having a really good haircut (and color, if appropriate) can help you look younger and more stylish.  An experienced hair stylist will give you a cut that flatters your face shape and add color to flatter your skin tone, where needed.

If you really are stuck on knowing what styles of formal wear suit you, then one of the best ways is to take a style conscious friend shopping with you.  Find something that works with your body shape, flatters existing curves or gives the illusion of them.

Most importantly, unlike the celebrities, you'll want something that doesn't detract from your face, after all, you want people to notice you first and not what you're wearing!

Finally, accessorise!  With all the TV fashion shows, one of the easiest ways to glam up any outfit is to add jewellery, a statement bag and some fabulous heels.

Now, step out and wow them!
