Autumn probably isn't the first season to come to mind when you think of flowery patterns. Yet, as these red carpet beauties prove, florals can be a great fall look. To try it yourself, look for thicker fabrics, embroidery or beads to make it feel more substantial and less springlike.

Beyond blush

Choosing blush, that gorgeous color that's somewhere between a nude and a light pink, is the perfect way to look subtly chic.

There's no need to stick to only one jewel-tone color, as Jane Krakowski and Natalie Morales demonstrate. Adding a touch of jade and a hint of amethyst respectively, the two fashionistas took their dresses to the next level.

Lovely velvet
