"Your LBD may be as reliable as your BFF, but even the most loyal of gals appreciates the occasional opportunity to make new friends. And that&amp;#x27;s exactly what a slew of celebs did at last night&amp;#x27;s Emmy Awards, leaving black dresses behind in favor of sleek, sophisticated navy. Find out how we suggest you wear the haute evening hue, after the jump. From Jayma Mays&amp;#x27; impossibly chic Burberry Prorsum gown (which Susan appropriately called &amp;quot;J&amp;#x27;amazing&amp;quot;) to Jane Krakowski&amp;#x27;s elegant-as-ever one shoulder Escada number, navy blue looks were everywhere on last night&amp;#x27;s red carpet. It&amp;#x27;s an easy color to wear for evening--as svelte-ifying as black, neutral enough to mix with what you&amp;#x27;ve already got in your closet--and yet since we usually think of it as the domain of men&amp;#x27;s blazers and school uniforms, it has a certain unexpectedness to it. And it&amp;#x27;ll look even less predictable if you take one of these chic styling tips: Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! #1: Try red or pink shoes. You dolls probably already know that nothing makes a bold color pop quite like a neutral background (could anything be chicer than neon yellow and camel?), and navy is the perfect canvas to introduce some saturated hues to. A sexy pair of red or hot pink stilettos will complement the color of your dress and serve as a chic exclamation point at the end of your style sentence: More Nina... #2: Pile on the gold jewelry. Take a classic color combination like navy and gold then mix things up by going big and bold instead of subtle and preppy. Layer on a few faux gold chains to make your own statement necklace (or a &amp;quot;necklace nest,&amp;quot; one of our favorite styling tricks!) or stack some cuffs and bangles up your arm for an accent that looks insanely rich: More Forever 21... #3: Add a black blazer. The first rule you probably learned about matching way back in the day? Don&amp;#x27;t mix black and navy. But rules were made to be broken, dolls, and nothing looks more modern than the subtle contrast between the two dark shades. Toss a black tuxedo-style blazer on over your navy cocktail dress for a look that screams right this minute (bonus points for guy-style satin lapels!): More Old Navy...
