Camilla Long Silk Leopard-Print Dress: Beauty and the Beast

Sexy beast! And that’s with an emphasis on “sexy,” not “beast.” Camilla‘s silk maxi dress proves you don’t have to opt for super-tight (showing off every little ripple and curve can often have a less appealing effect than we think) to look super-foxy.

A body grazing, not squeezing, silk dress in an animal print like this is for the natural seductress, not the girl who tries – or ever needs – to force anything. The big, exaggerated print, a bodacious blend of zebra and leopard, is so bold it nearly goes full-circle back to abstract, and that’s what I love about it. Being hot can be this easy – and the harshly sexy bondage look is for reality stars (and frequently looks more “beast” than beauty”). In other words, stay away! Instead, I say, stock up on dresses like this, which enable you to float with your sensuality, not flaunt it. At Intermix for $450.

Pair with: A stack of twisted rose-gold bangles or a pair of big hoop earrings in the same sinuous shape, both by Ippolita, will complete the easy-wild look. Ippolita Rose-Gold Squiggle Hoops, $250, and Shiny Squiggle Bangle, $295.
