Run for the Roses – Red Strapless Cocktail Dress

As a lush blanket of red roses is awarded to the Kenturcky Derby winner each year, the Derby is usually referred to as the Run for the Roses! To get a rose-like look, find a spicy red strapless cocktail dress – red ton is not only festival but very fashion-forward. Amp up the style factor with a statement patent bow wide brim hat and print sunglasses. Finally, complete the look with a functional envelop clutch and a pair of red tone chic pumps. The whole outfit has such a happy-girl vibe, effortlessly mixing vacation, party and feminie styles.

 

Iconic Kentucky Derby Look – Yellow Strapless Cocktail Dress

I certainly know that hats are the major fashion trend at the Derby, but I’ve also been told that ladies typically love wearing pastel-colored dresses. So, we choose a yellow strapless party dress which is decorated by rhinestones and beadings at the neckline and asymmetrical pleats. A pair of modern yellow sandals look adorable and festive when paired with bright purse. Do not forget to bring your iconic floppy hat to make a statement.

 

Elegant Kentucky Derby Look – Blue One Shoulder Cocktail Dress

If you’re on the way to reserved seating areas, opt for this cute and elegant look because demin, shorts or any athletic apparel will not be permitted. The blue one shoulder cocktail dress is featuring handmade flowers and beadings at the strap while floral ruches on the skirt. For a flash of color, add fringe bracelet, heart shape sunglasses, and ankle wrap sandals to pull off the look!
