Nicole Kidman experiments with fashion. She's worn a metallic dress that matched her hair, a flapper girl dress and a peacock feather on the red carpet. None of it was so out there or strange that it wasn't understandable, but her look is constantly evolving.

Nicole may turn up in pastel ruffles one event, and a black dress with straps that smack of bondage at another.

Sarah Jessica Parker is another fashionista that forges her own style trail. Whether she's experimenting with placement of priceless brooches or trying out an elaborate new updo, Sarah Jessica always looks like she's having fun.

The best way for you to have fun with fashion is to try something new: venture into a store that you've never shopped in, wear straight-leg jeans if you're a bootleg girl, try a mini and tights instead of a full, knee-length skirt. The idea is to push the limits of your wardrobe and experience innovative looks.

  1. Play Up Your Coloring
  2. Elaborate Dress or Major Bling (But Not Both)
  3. Don't Dress Your Age
  4. Steer Clear of Style Ruts
  5. If You Can't Hide It, Flaunt It

  7. It's All About the Hair
