Black and Red Do Not Mix

Chanel made her point. The LBD is a staple -- but try mixing it up once in awhile (like Natalie Portman did her with this gorgeous blue dress). When it comes to picking a dress color, Scott says to be sure to wear something that compliments your coloring. "Jewel tones are rich against the skin. Black or grey will wash you out. People pick black because it's easy or they think it will make them look elegant, but black can make you look older." Something celebrities dread even more than a box-office bomb.
