It's high-voltage drama for actress Christina Ricci, who glides down the red carpet in a custom couture Zac Posen ombre mermaid gown.

Actress Christina Ricci opts for a sexy silhouette at the 2010 Whitney Museum Art Party in New York -- a shimmery bandage dress from Herve Leger by Max Azria Spring 2010 that showscases her svelte figure.

Actress Christina Ricci arrives for Marina Abramovic's "The Artist is Present" Show Closing Celebration in a black lace- and feather-embellished cocktail dress from Givenchy Fall 2010.

Christina Ricci looks fabulously glam in red at the L.A. premiere of "Inglorious Basterds" in a vintage body-con Azzedine Alaia number.

Style tip: Make a streamlined silhouette work for you by opting for a dress that plays up your assets. Ricci's sexy frock looks especially flattering for pear-shaped figures -- its body-hugging cut and short hemline show off curves and legs, while short sleeves visually balance out narrow shoulders.
