Runway: It's all about micro-length cocktail dresses in couture-like taffeta and deep jewel-toned duchesse satin.
Reality: Add a dose of modern originality by teaming your mini-couture dress with punkish biker boots, a shrunken leather jacket and studded jewelry. Offset the femininity with chucky boots. Opt for box-clutches and oversized gems for the perfect finishing touch. To truly dress like a "Duchesse", choose an emerald or ruby satin strapless minidress.
