This Fall there’s a new shape to fashion: The Hourglass.  Dresses this season are taking a step back in time to the prim fit that used to rule the world.  No longer just a vintage style from the 40s and 50s, The Hourglass Dress is hitting the mainstream.

The Hourglass Dress accentuates the bust and hips.  This fashion is known as the woman’s best friend, allowing you to show off your natural curves.  While there are stick thin models walking the runways, the real trend is feeling confident and comfortable in whatever shape you’re in.

The 50’s fit gets an update this Fall with new modern prints and accessories.  Even if you don’t have an hourglass figure, like most of us, you can still pull off the Hourglass Dress.  Wear a blazer, jacket, or cardigan with your dress to give it a more modern feel, and add on a belt to your outfit for a cinched waist look.  Thick or thin belts worn at the waist will give you the hourglass look.

Since the end of last year, hi-low dresses have been trending worldwide.  These flirtatious frocks feature a circular hemline that hangs low in the back and high (usually above knee level) in the front.  Since this style allows your legs some freedom, it’s perfect for a day strolling around town or a night on the dance floor.

Hi-lo dresses have become a popular summer trend for casual wear and have been spotted on celebs walking the red carpet at formal events.  The hi-lo skirt is so versatile it seems wearable for any occasion.  A simple hi-lo dress with a belt can be worn with sandals and a floppy beach hat for a glamorous summer look, while a frivolous version with a bit more flair can be paired with sexy stilettos for any formal event.

If you’re a fan of the hi-lo dress trend, there’s no doubt you’ll need the best style this Fall.  In order to rock this look for Homecoming 2012, make sure you find the perfect fit for you.  If you want to show off a lot of leg, aim for a hi-low dress with a ruffled skirt, which will act like an elaborate frame as you strut your stuff.  Going for a simpler, more classic look?  Check out an A-Line hi-lo dress that hangs delicately from your body.

When it comes to accessorizing your hi-lo dress for Homecoming it’s all about the shoes.  The raised hem at the front of dress means your shoes will definitely get noticed.  Make sure you pick a pair of high heels that fits you well and goes well with your dress.  Try to match the color of your hi-lo dress or find something complimentary.  Silver, black, or gold styles are usually a great choice, depending on the color of your gown.

This Homecoming season hi-lo dresses will become the most sought after dresses.  It's always tough picking out a Homecoming dress, having to choose between Prom Styles and less formal cocktail dresses.  With a hi-lo dress, you get the best of both worlds, in a style that's formal and fun.  The unique trend is hard to find though, so if you’re looking for a hi-lo dress that will turn heads at Homecoming 2012, you’d better start looking now!

Miley Cyrus hit the red carpet with fiancé Liam Hemsworth for the Australian’s in Film Awards, last night in California.  Cyrus, known to shock more conservative crowds with her style choices, wore a little black dress that has been causing some controversy!  The garb in question wasn’t your typical LBD, but a tightly fitted number with a bra-top.

NY Daily News reported that lately, the singer has been making headlines for her intense dieting and risqué outfits, highlighting her new thin frame.  While many fashion-savvy, like the Huffington Post, love Miley’s chic cocktail dress, there are still others who find it a bit too revealing.   The Insider joked that “Although she's never been a model of decency in the past, you have to wonder if her wedding dress will simply consist of lace pasties at this rate.”

Cyrus’ little bra dress might have been revealing, but its shock factor was defiantly moderate compared to other dresses this celeb has worn.  She wore a cleavage accentuating V-neck dress to the Billboard Music Awards this year and has shown skin in many other skimpy outfits during music videos and stage performances.  The “is that a bra?” dress might be a bit out of the ordinary, but some are giving it the thumbs up.  What do you think, too revealing, or totally chic?

The 2010 American Music Awards are officially a wrap.  Now it's time to look back on the red carpet fashions and decide on the night's best dressed!  Who took risks? Who played it safe? And who outshined the rest on this year's AMA red carpet?

Miley Cyrus, prepping for her November 23rd 18th birthday, wore a stunning strapless Marchesa.  Made of chiffon, it was adorable up front and featured a dramatic train in the back. The dress was paired with Christian Louboutin's crystal embellished Maralena pumps, along with impeccable hair and make up.
