Deciding what to wear to an event can be a grueling task. Do you overdress? Underdress? Do you wear your favorite classics or try something trendier?
And in the case of a fashion show, the age old question can be, do you go with black or color?
Through my red carpet corresponding, I’ve found most celebs sticking to the classic black for the evening. Nevertheless, some found great ways to spruce up a basic. But is it better than donning a bright hue? Let’s take a look at the competition.
The Blacks:
Serena Yang sassed up her LBD with geometric gems on the shoulder blades and killer shoes.
On any other man, this outfit would look a bit frumpy and hobo-ish but Jack Yang is not any other man. Blackjack!
Pro ping pong player (dude, I know,right?) Soo Yeon Lee kind of has this Halloween witchy costume thing going on but she’s dang gorgeous so she pulls it off.
Love Karin Anna Cheung’s blingin’ chains and hot skirt.
Same for Kavi Ladnier
Lina So looks classy and elegant…and kind of out of place at this event!
Nikki Soohoo’s white stripes brings a stark contrast to her black strapless.
The Colors
Ashley Jones supports designer Jenny Han with a jewel-toned purple cocktail that looks comfy and stylish.
James Kyson Lee had a flight to NY that evening which may explain why he was so warmly dressed for the warm evening. Nonetheless, shnazzy scarf!
Lynn Chen sports a casual maroon top. We were more in love with her fabulous professional do. The first time she ever got her hair done for an event!
Mayleen Ramey looks super Californian cool in this breezy sundress and flat sandals. ROck ‘em girlfriend!
Michelle Phan’s blue gem-toned cocktail was a nice contrast to the red carpet.
Paperdoll’s unique style is shown through each members’ different fashion choices.
Sheetal Sheth rocked her gunmetal gray jumpsuit.
So what do you think? Is it cooler to stay in edgy black for the evening or don a bright hue? If you want my opinion…
I wore this for the evening (pictured here interviewing Justin Chon). So I say: viva la color!

Amazing. I wish I was there. I’m definitely attending next year! I love Michelle Phan <3 I especially LOVED your dress. I'm a big fan of yellow, as well as one-shouldered dresses. haha.
Uh-maaaazing event, my best friend and I had the best time at Audrey’s Night Out! We were going for sexy, yet classy, so she wore a purple-gray strapless mini, and I wore a black strapless mini- we tried to make it classy by throwing on dressy jackets, necklaces, and earrings. There were beautiful people, fashionistas, flowing vodka, what more can you ask for? It was our first event in LA together, and we were definitely not disappointed. Looking forward to next year’s Audrey’s Night Out!
Black is always classy and easy to dress up in, but colors are more interesting and of course super fun.
I think black is always the safest choice. BUT!!! I never know whether I’ll be overdressed or underdressed when going to an event. I guess I tend to kind of underdress for events. I was going to go to this event wearing jeans and a sexy sequinned top. Seems like I would’ve been “underdressed”. LOL!
Aaaahhh~ I wish I was there! Next year, I’m def going!!! NO MATTER WHAT!!!!
