long sleeve black dress with slit Cha Cha Thigh Split enhancing movement and adding a sultry edge to this sophisticated look Kiah Long Sleeve Backless Maxi

Not glamorous advice, but useful

A velvet maxi dress in a rich jewel tone like emerald, sapphire, or deep plum catches the light with every movement

To complete the look, Longoria went low-key with her jewelry, rocking a pair of square earrings and one large statement ring, both in a subtle champagne gold that matched the color of her gown

For my clients who think Im overzealous, I encourage them to purchase their holiday dresses from a store with a fantastic return policy (I am looking at you Nordstrom and Zappos.) And come January (or June!) if you still dont need the extra dress, or dont like it anymore, you can return it without issue
