Marina defines red carpet fashion faux pas.

There is a saying "It's always better to be overdressed than underdressed" well, I agree.
Being fashionable does not mean that you always have to wear dressy and flashy clothes. No, this simply means that you wear the right clothes at the right time and place. Many people sometimes find it difficult to choose the right clothes for the occasion. Fashion dilemmas are considered either ending up overdressed or underdressed.

There are a 4 things that I consider prior to dressing up my client:

• what kind event,
• the venue,
• guests,
• and the weather.

 Some tips are common sense, while others are learned through experience and some of my clients agree with me on this. It is important not to be underdressed especially when attending a formal red carpet event.  I guess, it would be okay to be slightly underdressed, like not wearing accessories.  But wearing a cute, day-time cotton dress to a  formal red carpet event is a Faux Pas.  Another example of faux pas, would be wearing jeans and a t-shirt although, it might be acceptable at times for a red carpet event like a movie premiere.

Couple of point to remember:

*It is important that you wear the right clothes to prevent feeling awkward and uncomfortable at the party. Just imagine going to an event and finding out that everyone wears evening gowns and tuxedos and you're the only one wearing a beach dress.

*Also, not wearing the right accessory is also being underdressed.  Accessories like necklaces, earrings, bracelet(s) and rings add sparkle to any outfit. Try wearing at least one kind of accessory however, do not go overboard or you'll end up looking what I like to call a "Christmas Tree".

*Not having the right makeup is another faux pas. It is very important not to look pale and sickly at the red carpet event. Keeping in mind there are so many photographers who'll take bunch of pictures of you. It is important to have the right make on to give color and life to your face.  For example, having the right lip color on, blush, eye makeup, and foundation is essantial. The right makeup also emphasizes your good facial features such as high cheekbones, full lips, or high nose.

*Another factor of underdressed would be the hair-do. The hair should be styled properly when attending a formalred carpet event. I mean, it's okay to wear your hair casually if you are going to a casual event or place but if you are attending a formal occasion, then you should  definately do something with your hair.
