As my husband and I jump back and forth between the Academy Awards and the All-Star Game tonight (talk about a clash), I found a few moments to spot these 7 fabulous looks worthy of putting your own spin on the next time you and yours head out somewhere fancy. Now, I’m no fashion editor, so bear with me, and make ‘em your own. ☺

Anna Faris in Diane Von Furstenberg
Black + Shiny + Fitted = A Hit Every Time

Glenn Close in Zac Posen
Throwing a matching, fitted blazer over a gorgeous gown shows you’re sexy and you mean business.

Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji & Neil Lane
It doesn’t have to be sleeveless to be sexy – just make sure the gown is embellished to perfection.

Viola Davis in Emerald Green Vera Wang
Sweetheart necklines make your sweetheart go crazy.

Maya Rudolph in Johanna Johnson & Neil Lane
Accentuate those waists.

Virginia Madsen
Bright pinks and purples always say “sexy”.
