Go femme fatale this season with Cinderella

MANILA, Philippines - Step into fierce territory this holiday season as Cinderella serves up a feral mix of print and color sure to unleash the femme fatale inside.

Endorser Rhian Ramos shows off her glamorous side in plain and printed separates, all from Cinderella.

For day, tones of nude, blush, and taupe add a pretty spin to easy combinations of trousers, tailored shorts, tees or blazers. Carry the color story through to caramel colored leopard prints on a jumpsuit or sheer blouse, paired with a collegiate pleated skirt in a prim, A-line silhouette — also a key detail found on smart, midi day dresses.

This emphasis on length is played up with Cinderella’s maxi skirts, a key layering piece for the holidays. Top off a long dress with a sequined vest for added sparkle, to bring a daytime look well into the night. Another transitional piece would be a tiered rosette skirt, to be worn with a blazer and illustrated blouse, for a fun, feminine appeal.

Come night, bring out simple sheaths in solid colors of cobalt, gunmetal, or teal. The simplicity is in itself a statement — a confident and sexy alternative to maximalist looks, sure to stand out in a sea of similarly-dressed belles — all charming and comely, for sure, but by no means as outstanding as a modern-day Cinderella.
