At "An Unforgettable Evening" benefit for EIF's Women's Cancer Research Fund, Molly Sims looked simply stunning sporting her signature fuss-free glam style. Molly rocked a relaxed berry-hued Gucci dress which she teamed with grey suede peep-toe pumps. She accessorized with stunning pieces from her jewelry line, Grace by Molly Sims and a chic box clutch. This look can definitely make the day-to-night transition and could work just as well for a day at the office as it could for a cocktail party. For a more winter-friendly style, wear it with black tights and a fitted blazer. Check out my slideshow to get the look!
From The Barre To The Street: Ballet-Inspired Style

One of my first kiddie memories is being plunked down in a sea of fidgety, tutu-clad three-year-olds, also known as toddler ballet class. I promptly wailed and broke for the studio doors (but not before demanding a gold star sticker... I didn't get dressed up for nothing). Twenty years later I can count the number of ballet classes I've taken on a single hand, but I must say there's something so inherently chic and graceful in wearing tights and ballerina flats. What's more, the typical color palette associated with ballet is to die for- dusty pinks, heather greys, nude tones, and basic blacks look their best on drapey chiffon, mesh, and lace fabrics. Try pairing a wispy pink dress with a leather jacket or killer heels to toughen up the look a bit, or try a pair of embellished flats- a studded pair should do the trick. A wrap sweater is the simplest way to add ballet-inspired style to your look and pairs wonderfully with more structured bottoms, and you definitely don't need to know your plies from your pirouettes in order to fall in love with this frilly cross-back dress by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti. Click the slideshow for more of my favorite ballet-inspired looks, and if you want more inspiration, may I suggest Center Stage.
