A Dolce & Gabbana style bustier dress works wonders for many body types. But when skinny stars aren't in the mood for a frock, they simply pair a corset style top with jeans or cigarette pants—or no pants in the case of Posh, but we strongly urge you not to go there. 

The ability to make this look work out of the boudoir and on the red carpet lies in the detailing, which makes it clear these tops are not underwear: the striping on Charlize Theron's Proenza Schouler, the ruffles on Jada Pinkett Smith's Zac Posen and the heavy embellishment on Lydia Hearst's Heatherette.

If you're not rail thin, avoid muffin top by wearing a baby doll corset, or take inspiration from Chloë Sevigny and tuck your bustier into a wider leg pant for balance.
