It is almost impossible to think of celebrity party dresses without Hollywood beauty Katherine Heigl springing to mind.She exudes glamour on the red carpet and knows exactly how to dress her size 12 body and the elegant, shapely curves that come with it.Her fabulous figure helped her land a starring role in Grey's Anatomy and her conservative yet stylish party wardrobe not only compliments her body shape but also marks her as one of the most graceful and unpretentious stars in Hollywood.Katherine often selects simple knee-length dresses and peep-toe heels when it comes to dressing for a party, and this is a great look to copy when deciding on an outfit for an upcoming wedding.The 27 Dresses star's secret to always looking picture-perfect is the cut of the garment.She almost always chooses knee-length dresses that cinch in at the waist and the neckline is generally fairly pronounced, shaped by either a V-neck or asymmetrical sleeves.This is a beautiful, feminine look that works best in gemstone colours, such as emerald green, cobalt blue, ruby red or jet black.
