Remember when collarbone-length hair was old-fashioned? Here's one really good clue that's not true anymore: Madonna is wearing it. "Her long, textured bob and loose waves are so much cooler than that old-school shoulder-length hair that's smooth and voluminous and coiffed," says Solano.

Angela Bassett's short haircut is the anti-short short haircut: There is absolutely nothing predictable about it. "This cut works on all hair textures, and it's going to draw attention to your eyes, but also to everything else—your ears, your nose, your jawline," says Solano. "Adding a short,

"This is the color anyone could wear," says Robinson. This chestnut brown shade warms up Victoria Beckham's complexion and enhances her brown eyes.

DIM THE LIGHTS

It goes without saying that candlelight is sexy (there's a reason most Instagram filters wash everyone in a hazy glow), and the best way to flatter exposed skin is with a shimmery body cream.

WEAR RED...

Yes, it's that simple. A bit of crimson has the power to put men in a lusty state of mind—one study even found they were 56 percent more likely to ask out a woman in a red top versus a white one. That's because men are hardwired to respond to the hue: The color was used as early as 10,000 B.C. in lip color and blush to mimic the red flush we get when we're turned on. Throw on a red dress and let primal instincts take over.
