Put-Your-Best-Look-Forward Makeovers

After

The rescue: To show off Hueglin's terrific legs, O's creative director, Adam Glassman, puts her in a knee-length stretch jersey dress that's sexy, not revealing. Ruching across the stomach visually slims her waist. "This makes me realize there are things I can wear at my age that aren't dowdy," says Hueglin. A layered cut and blow-out by Dominick Pucciarello of Mizu New York finishes the look.

To boost the femininity factor:

• A jersey dress is always appropriate—and less work than pairing separates.
• Look for V-neck silhouettes and side ruching, which play up curves.
• Accessories—colorful shoes, distinctive jewelry—are the easiest way to soften your style.
