Although it's not just about the outfit, its about every stage.
If you aim is to wow and you want to look like your attending the Oscars, then yes you generally have to work hard to achieve this look of glamour.
Here at StyleKt11 we have the steps to making you the belle of the ball, the Jennifer Lawrence of the Oscars.

Step 1 - Look after your skin, if you don't already do it, buy some mittens and exfoliate in the shower with a good quality shower gel. When you come out of the shower moisturise your skin with coconut oil. Make sure you put the oil on the soles of your feet.

Step 2 - Facial - get at least 3 facials before the ball, preferably once every 3 weeks and leave it a whole week before the ball. Our recommendation is Seven beauty in Ripley, we go there for a prescription facial because this ensures that you get a facial tailored to your individual needs.

Step 3 - Hair - as important as the others, you need to treat it a few months before with a hair mask and treatment, best one we have tried is at the salon Leo Bancroft. You then need to follow this up with a regular trim and colour if needed. If you are changing colour you need to check what is right for you. If you are going for hair up, then you need a trial. Leo recommends that you wash your hair the day before not on the day.

Step 4 - Exercise. This is something ongoing, but make sure you are doing muscle toning on the areas that will be on show. Omar Baulch from Ride recommends Kettlebells, its the most basic exercise but the technique when right (and you need to be shown first) works every part of the body.

Step 5 - Spray tan - good to have a practice to see the tone you go, before you rely on the night. Try Sunstyle, it is a fabulous beauty destination in Cobham and the tanning lotion is scented with the scent of your choice (£25 per session). You can test the tone, see how it lasts and most importantly you can learn how to look after it properly.

Step 6 - Feet. Book a luxury pedicure, one where the feet get a good scrub and all the yucky stuff falls off. If you are looking after your feet with coconut oil then this will help. Get your feet ship shape and then get a bio gel, or shellac on there to make sure it lasts. We have a gorgeous lady Fay DB who does this - contact us if you need her details.
Step 7 - Hands. Moisture and exfoliate them, then book a manicure. Again for polish that stays on, use shellac.
Step 8 - Wax or laser try Sunstyle for this it doesnt hurt with there australian technology!
Step 9 - Shopping for the outfit. Bit tricky as you might know what you want, but don't know where to find it. If this is your dilemma then our first port of call is POCKET WARDROBE an app on your phone, which allows you to put all your stats and then you request what it is you want and how much you want to spend. The app which is connected to stylists, retailers and the Pocket Wardrobe team who will find what you are looking for. If its not quite right the first time, they keep looking for you. The best thing is its free and so easy to use.
Step 10 - If you love to shop, do your research at home first and then go shopping. Take a friend and some heels, wear nude undies and a strapless bra. Take a picture in the dressing room each time you try, go for coffee, decide and buy. KEEP THE RECEIPT
Step 11 - have fun, and take pictures of your amazing night and send to us at stylekt11@gmail.com
