For inaugural ball gown, think color [Pictures]
If you're lucky enough to get a ticket to one of this month's inaugural balls, you'll need the right gown, in the right shade, to turn heads. The color is at least as important as the cut of the garment, according to fashion experts. You can't go wrong with go-to colors such as purple and green. You could be daring with white, red and silver. Or you could play it safe with black and blue.
