The Supremes not only ruled on the charts, they ruled on the stage too. Their glittering, glamorous gowns inspired women everywhere to channel their inner divas and dare to be different. Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard proved there's nothing like an original. There class and style has yet to be duplicated though it has been imitated. In ode to these Chocolate Fashionistas, get your Supreme Diva look on!

How to: Dress for a Cocktail Party

Dressing for a cocktail party is simple, be fabulous...But seriously, there are rules. And one of my biggest pet peeves is when people don't pay attention to the dress code on an invite. It's not only rude, it makes you look inélégant.

Prior to choosing your attire, consider the invite. A phone call or email invitation allows you to get away with less formal attire, for example a suit and a simple blouse might suffice. If you received a invite via mail on formal stationary, you might want to dress to impress.

Always wear appropriate shoes, this is not a time for flip-flops or your platform sandals. Opt for a simple, well-made pump, peep-toe, or stiletto sandal. An elegantly embellished flat is also feasible for a cocktail party as well.

A simple clutch or evening case will do. Jewelry should complement your outfit, but not over power it. If you're wearing a bold necklace with a simple sheath, avoid distracting earrings or an obnoxious bracelet.

To get the most from your look, keep it simple and polished.

Here's a few Suggestions on Cocktail Attire:

Knee-length skirts or dresses
cardigans with brooches (think Michelle Obama)
a tailored suit with a bold tank or blouse underneath
Crepe wool slacks for fall/winter, rayon, silk, or linen for summer
A sleeveless ruffled top paired with a pencil skirt and killer pumps
Delicate or bold jewelry, nothing in between
Just the right amount of bling is appropriate
Silk dresses can work just about any season
