The statuesque blond has rocked every look from dark, bondage-inspired pieces to haute couture gowns while promoting her latest flick, but we think this look in particular could be perfect for the right bride. Check out the gallery to see how to make it work for you!

In New York, Abigail wore a fun but formal silver ensemble that we think would be a great look for a junior bridesmaid or an older flower girl. Find out how to snag the style for your wedding in the gallery!
In fact, we think this look could work well for spunky bride, bridesmaids, or a guest -- check out the gallery to see how!
We absolutely loved this silver Nina Ricci gown, especially considering her character, Carrie Bradshaw, is a bride in the movie. It's elegant, beautiful, and ever-so-slightly quirky.
- Off-beat color choice -- It's not like you don't see silver on the red carpet. You do. But this almost watery-looking silver with the unexpected gold accent around the waist is unusual without being weird. It's simply lovely.
- Dangerous curves -- The slight sweetheart neckline paired with a defined waist give SJP curves like we've never seen before.
- The girl with curls -- We're so happy SJP wore her hair down in loose waves for the premiere -- as pretty as it looks up, we're always going to remember Carrie for her wild, curly hair (which, like her spirit, cannot be tamed -- hokey, sure, but you know it's true).

- Navy is just like black, but not -- Natalie opted for a light shade of navy, which has all the flattering qualities of black but with the added benefit of actually being a color.
- Take advantage of a trend -- Dark navy nail polish is huge this year, and Natalie jumped right on board by painting her fingernails the same color as her dress.
- Glammed up accessories -- The metallic gold shoes and clutch are a beautiful way to accent the darkness of the dress.
Here's how you can incorporate Natalie's navy into your nuptials:

But the dress is fabulous.
- Classy couture -- This dress is a high fashion piece, and not for the faint of heart. Between the various fabrics and the complicated design, the dress has a lot going on. That's why it's important that Renee wears the dress -- she doesn't let it wear her. Her straight posture and posing skills (although, seriously, why such weird poses? Why?) show that she's comfortable wearing high fashion.
- Perfect plum -- This deep shade is so gorgeous against Renee's fair skin and light hair. It brings out the rosiness in her cheeks and lends some drama to her look overall.
- Glitz it up -- We love Renee's right hand ring and sparkly clutch, but we really wish she had grabbed a pair of earrings, too. Oh, well. She's smart to avoid a necklace, as it would detract from the interesting neckline of her gown and would look busy next to the flower. Her shoes were a perfect choice -- gold, strappy, and sexy, so they compliment the look without competing with the dress.
Wondering how this look can translate into your personal bridal style? Here's how to do it:

- Hot (pink) mama -- Bright colors are huge this year, and Jennifer wisely goes for a bright pink that looks great with her skin tone.
- It's in the fit -- One of the things we love about Jennifer is that she's fit, but doesn't seem to be wasting away. This dress accentuates the curves of her body.
- Keepin' it a little casual -- It's not the Oscars, so while she chose a dramatic gown, she doesn't overdo it with the rest of her ensemble. We would have liked to see her hair pulled back a bit to show off the flutter cap-sleeves on the dress, but otherwise she gets it just right with fun earrings and a metallic clutch.
This overall look could easily be modified into your bridal style. Here's how:

- Getting all ruffled isn't so bad -- This neckline on a bright, springy, swingy gown really works -- it's soft and feminine while still being a little playful. With her dark hair and olive complexion, the bright color is perfect.
- Wrap up the fabric -- There is a lot of fabric in this dress considering it's only knee length, but it works because of the defined waist. The sash ties to the side and the flowing fabric drapes perfectly into the tiered hem of the dress.
- Smartly accessorized -- As we've already discussed, this dress has quite a lot going on, so Thandie makes a smart move in avoiding any distracting accessories.
If you love this look half as much as I do, read on to see how to make it work for you:

The first thing I feel obligated to point out about this dress is that it won't work for everyone. However, on the lovely Eva Longoria Parker, seen here at a premiere for her movie, Over Her Dead Body, it is just divine. Although, I'm rather hating her for pulling it off so well. Why wouldn't it work for everyone? It's slightly demure, what with the sleeves and full skirt, and it's certainly feminine, to be sure. And, the overall look in a modified version could be gorgeous -- however, often when people see a dress with a little more coverage, they automatically think it would be a great look for a bridesmaid with a few areas she'd like to hide. Here's what to watch out for to make sure you look like red carpet royalty and not a 1960's prom nightmare:

At close to half her age, I would like to look as fantastic as Ellen Barkin does now -- here at the Ocean's 13 premiere she's putting 25-year-olds the world over to shame. But, since I don't, I'll just tell you all about why her red carpet look is so fantastic.- She sports a fiercely flattering haircut. The angles and defined part are sassy, and while it's a cut that would work on a young woman, it's not inappropriate for a woman of a certain age.
- The accessories are understated but fabulous -- notice how she brought a blast of color into her ensemble with her shoes. Unexpected bursts of color with a white dress are fantastic (brides, take notice).
- Her neckline works for her body type. You'll see her sport this style of dress a lot because she knows it looks fantastic on her. She shows a modest amount of cleavage, and the rest of the dress falls straight down to show off her ridiculously flat stomach and slim hips. Seriously, Ellen -- what gives?
