Whether it's dinner with the grandparents, brunch with friends, a graduation or a family party, there are events for which our children need to look nice and put together. However, finding the right look is never easy.
If your kids are anything like mine, their idea of a cool outfit is miles from the appropriate one. They will always choose comfortable over stylish and won't hesitate to use their arsenal of annoying behavior (whining, crying, complaining, soiling) to avoid wearing something they hate.
We have a wedding to attend in July and, to avoid the clothing meltdown, I went online for inspiration. I was overjoyed to find the cutest outfits from the most recent Red Carpet events. To my surprise, they loved them. Tell me if you and your little fashionistas in the making loved them too.
The tie and the Converse
Rico Rodríguez seems to have taken a page from his Modern Family mom Sofía Vergara on how to look fashionable. The combination of the tie, untucked shirt and Converse looks amazing.
Perfect dress for a tween
This lovely dress is very age appropiate for 12-year- old Amara Miller. She looks classy and stylish. Very far from her tomboyish image as George Clooney´s youngest daughter in The Descendants.
Plaid rules for boys this summer!
Good Luck Charlie´s Bradley Steven Perry looks like he is totally comfortable with his retro plaid shirt. Check out the buttons–so 70s.
Polka dots never looked more adorable
Can this outfit be any cuter? Joey King´s black tutu goes perfectly with the aquamarine polka dot top, giving her a polished look. Selena Gómez´s little sister in Ramona and Beezus is proving she's got style!.
A jacket with character
Topsiders are the best shoes for kids–boys and girls– this summer. Look how perfect they look with Modern Family actor Nolan Gould´s outfit. The jacket gives this informal outfit a touch of elegance and character.
Dreamy Dress
Kiernan Shipka's (of Mad Men fame) dress is simple yet gorgeous, with eyelet lace in the skirt and a fun flowers appliqué in the body. I'd bet that not even her complicated TV mother Betty Francis, formerly Draper, could find something to criticize!
Smart and comfortable. What else can you ask for?
Allison Sweeney´s boy Benjamin Edward is a smart-looking kid, with a fashionable plaid shirt, khaki pants and slip-on sneakers.
Fresh flowers
This gold and white dress would look great on any girl at any age. The gold flowers in the bodice give the outfit a touch of sparkle. It's perfect for a night event. Lilla Crawford is ready to shine in Broadway as Annie!
The rocker and the fashionista
This ensemble combining a leather jacket and a plaid shirt gives actress Ming-Na´s son a the cool look of a put-together rocker. Her daughter totally owns the Red Carpet with her geometric dress, which remind me of Emilio Pucci!
The princess and the city girl
Molly Ringwald´s girls look like they have a very clear fashion sense. Both look great in their own style. The purple animal print top and purple hat give the older one a very chic vibe, while there is no doubt who is the romantic in the family!
