Kerry likes to put her best foot forward, er backward, and often opts for showing off her beautiful back on the red carpet. It\u2019s a look that definitely works for her so it\u2019s one she has chosen on more than one occasion. Wearing a backless dress is often overlooked as one of the sexiest ways to reveal a little skin, without risking overexposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White dresses aren\u2019t just for tying the knot anymore! Instead of a classic LDB, Kerry often dons it\u2019s lighter, more feminine cousin, the little white dress. The effect is just as glamorous and since Kerry\u2019s taste is so refined and she often opts for shorter lengths, there\u2019s no mistaking these LWDs for a wedding gown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blue clutch could be key when putting together your next outfit. It is a great pop of color and, let\u2019s face it, blue is complimentary on everyone! Treat the color like it\u2019s a neutral and you\u2019ll be able to pair it with pretty much anything! Once you find one you love, don\u2019t be afraid to pair it with multiple outfits like Kerry does, that way you\u2019ll get the most for your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
