Sophia Loren. Marilyn Monroe. Elizabeth Taylor. Eva Mendes. Kim Kardashian. Beyonce. They all have one thing in common: they are all bombshells. Beautiful women are a dime a dozen, but not every woman has the sexy allure of a bombshell. Though her ensemble may be a wee bit tighter or low cut, she’s always classy not trashy. Bombshells accentuate their form with an unabashed confidence. It’s not about being objectified; it’s about celebrating her womanhood. She is not afraid to show up in a fiery red dress when everyone else is going for basic black. For the Bombshell, every day is a fashion show.

Pencil Skirt
No Bombshell wardrobe would be complete without a saucy pencil skirt. Form-fitting yet totally covered up, every one of your curves will be highlighted without actually showing any skin. Take a cue from Eva Mendes in a hot red take on the traditional pencil skirt. She looks casual yet sexy in this sailor style skirt at the Spike Awards.
