Penguin Chic

The tuxedo is a tantalizing option for tomorrow night's festivities! Give your NYE ensemble a kicky touch with a cummerbund, a bow tie or a fitted tux jacket. Top hat and tails optional!

I love to see a chic woman in a tux. Kate Moss works it well. Great post.

Fashion Moment said...

I've make a choice - green (gorgeous green!) backless, knee - drees, gold Louboutin pumps, and green huge scarf, sheave about the side, with huge golden brooche, and golden-green clutch.
But, from this post, I choose Alexander McQueen all-in-one tuxedo, but with diferent accessorise, or dress by Temperley London! Really great post!
Wish you gorgeous and magical New Year's Evening my dear!
