Cocktail dresses are just as fabulous and sometimes even more amazing on the red carpet than gowns. I actually prefer them because you can wear them more than once versus a gown. These dresses are beyond amazing ranging from hearts organza, cut outs, vibrant colors, sensational ruffles, leopard and scallops. This year was a good year for fashion!
