Outrageous Fortune Sequin Wrap-Front Dress ($76): How could you possibly resist a purple sequin wrap dress? So elevated yet so playful.

Maggy London Velvet Cap Sleep Dress ($138): The ruching detail at the waist makes this find incredibly flattering.
Lauren Conrad: When in doubt, go for a flowy silk dress for your upcoming event. Conrad’s pretty off-the-shoulder frock is ideal if you live somewhere warm, but an option with sleeves will be just as stylish if it's chilly where you live. (Photo via Phillip Faraone/Getty)
