TREND: JEWELED BARRETTES

DO: Be sure to place the sparklers (worn by Mariska Hargitay and Penelope Cruz) asymmetrically for a "sophisticated and modern" look, says Gage. For a fun substitute, use a brooch – a bobby pin can hold it in place.

DON'T: Overdo your accessories. You don't want to distract from the barrettes, she says.
