any advice is greatly appreciated.Hair, makeup and shoe suggestions for this little red %26amp; black dress for semi formal?
If your hair curls well I would try loose curls pulled back on one side (the side with the strap on the dress) Put an intricate hair clip to pull it back, but not too far. leave a couple curls lose out of the clip in the front, but show off the strap of the dress.
for a necklace, I would try to find something Y shaped (where the necklace is circular and then has a drop chain in the center). I would try to find something gold and black, or if not silver and deep red, which might be easier to find. Stick with one dark color and one light color to stand out in contrast against your skin and mirror the dress. I'd try for matching sets, obviously, with longer, but simple earrings. Something that's similar to the drop chain on the Y necklace, a simple long chain earring. If you like bracelets, again, go for a matching one, but not necessary. If your shoes don't have straps, I'd go with a gold anklet if you end up getting gold jewelry.
For makeup, go with golds and light roses. Don't wear too much - gold or silver eyeshadow with MAYBE a little black eyeliner or a darker, shimmery shadow on your inner lines. Rose for your cheeks and a light pink or nude on your lips to add shimmer, but not too much color.
For shoes, I would get something similar to what the model has. Get a relatively simple shoe, nothing with patterns to it and if it has any embellishments, get it with only a simple rhinestone on the front tip. Stiletto would look nice with the dress and give you a tall, long, lean look - keep the shoe from being chunky as that will look off with the short elegance of the dress. I'd recommend black for the shoe. A deep crimson red might also look night, but that HAS to match the color in the dress. I wouldn't go with anything shiny, go with a suede or simply a muted black.
Basically I'd try for gold jewelry with black accents, simple makeup in gold and rose, curled hair down on one side, slightly pulled back on the other, and black shoes :)

Hmm. I say gently curl your hair, so it's kinda wavy, or just pile it up onto your hair and secure it with a cute clip, with lots of bobby pins, and let a couple of wavy strands fall down. So, curl either way.
I'm hopeless with makeup, but I say brown/black eyeliner, and lightly applied brown eyeshadow. And nude lipstick. What you have on in the picture is great, but lessen the makeup under the eyes. You slightly resemble a raccoon. A pretty raccoon, but a raccoon nonetheless.
Just wear black peep-toe heels. It'll look great. And you can wear them over and over again with basically any dress.
I say have a black clutch, and one or two gold necklaces that kind of fall down past your bust. And have a gold belt, maybe, about 4 or 5 inches below the bottom of the bustline. And silver/gold bracelets.
