Feel like a movie star when you walk down the aisle in this season's crop of Hollywood-inspired gowns. These gowns, befitting a starlet, include form-fitting silhouettes, sexy high slits, low backs, bias hems and daring necklines. They are also embellished with dazzling details to make them camera ready.

As the standard bearer for glamour and elegance, Hollywood is a great inspiration for your wedding look. This season designers were inspired by the 20's, 30's, and 40's. When planning a "White Carpet Hollywood" look, download pics of trendsetters like Jean Harlow, Rita Hayworth, Audrey Hepburn, Lauren Bacall and Veronica Lake to show your hair and makeup artist. Taking beauty cues from these lovely ladies would be the perfect way to complete your big day look. Who doesn't want Veronica Lake finger waves to go with their slinky gown?

In regards to accessories, look for cage veils, deco inspired jewelry, gloves and sparkling heels to complete your glamour girl look. This luxe style works best with a more formal evening wedding. I would suggest longer slinky gowns for your bridesmaids with maybe a Billie Holiday flower in their hair. Have fun with this trend and make your day "White Carpet" worthy.
