Go for the jeans and dazzleing top. Cool, trendy, comfy and you don't have to worry about falling down, while jumping up and down!

I think the majority would go with skinny jeans and a bling top, but the big take-away is to wear what you feel comfortable in! I'm also loving all the suggestions for accessories -- thanks everyone! I no longer fear being singled out from the crowd to appear in an episode of "What Not to Wear".

ktgonyea 5 pts

I'd pick the dark skinny jeans and a "bling" top :)

marcydz 5 pts

a really cool pair of jeans, boots and a hip shirt.

LillyLilly 5 pts

I'd wear B. Jeans seems more appropriate than the more dressy choices.

choochoo 5 pts

I hate sitting for long periods of time in skinny jeans. Ouch.
I'm going with the trendy cocktail dress. Wear bling shoes that are easy to stand in, since you might be standing up and sitting down several times that evening. Hair up and fancy, with long earrings. Glitter your shoulders.

garrettsambo 5 pts

I think you should wear a classic little black dress with a gold necklace, earrings and a pair of pumps. garrettsambo@aol.com

You can't go wrong with a little black dress with matching heels and a purse.

dvice 5 pts

I'd say jeans and a black top

ava02 5 pts

i would say a. classic little black dress

Henrietta 5 pts

I say the dark skinny jeans and a "bling" top! With a cute pair of heels you can be sexy and comfy at the same time!

lisalmg 5 pts

I would wear a great black halter top the accentuates your shoulders, white skirt with black flowers and a fabulous pair of black heels with lots of bling and big earrings and bracelets.

Atreau 5 pts

You can never go wrong with dark jeans, a nice solid top and bling it up with accessories and makeup.

JLYNNF76 5 pts

I would say jeans and a bling top is the way to go to that sort of event. Have fun!!

lilyk 5 pts

I would go with the a) classic little black dress.

js22 5 pts

I think your idea of a c) trendy cocktail dress is a good one!
I live in jeans, so I don't really have any idea what people in the real world wear!

Good luck! And enjoy!

barbarawr 5 pts

I say dark skinny jeans and a "bling" top. You'll be sitting down so you could wear your PJ bottoms and nobody would know :-)

Ten Talents 5 pts

It will be exciting enough, so be safe and go with the little black dress. It will be classy, and you'll look great!

anne1456 5 pts

go with the skinny jeans and bling top, it is nice and versatile, plus you'll be comfortable.

mzsuzuki 5 pts

Dark Skinny Jeans and Bling Top because you will be standing up, sitting down, standing up over and over again. I would also wear some cute strappy sandals...

BarbS 5 pts

I think, for sitting in the seats, jeans and a bling top makes the most sense. It's a pain in the neck to wear a cocktail dress and then sit in the seat the whole time.

But don't forget the fab shoes! You need those, too.

nanjhall 5 pts

I think it should be the classic little black dress. You can't go wrong with that!

susan1215 5 pts

b) dark skinny jeans and a "bling" top
Odd are you will be doing a lot of standing so I would want to be comfortable

raggammuffin 5 pts

you should wear the jeans and bling top...and add some flip flops. :)

hbbs55 5 pts

b) dark skinny jeans and a "bling" top for sure!

naturelove 5 pts

From what you listed, I think that either the classic black dress or the black skinny jeans with a bling top would be a good choice. Don't feel like you have to limit yourself to black, though, especially if there are colors that look really good on you.

I am always a comfort dresser and for me dark skinny jeans and a blingy top is the way to go.

'b) dark skinny jeans and a "bling" top' FOR SURE!

clc408 5 pts

You'll fit right in with the skinny jeans and blingy top. Remember if they pan the audience, it's the top that will show on camera, so splurge on that.

dddiva 5 pts

I'd go with the great jeans and bling top.

ladyt64 5 pts

I would go with the classic little black dress. You won't be over or under dressed.

Karener 5 pts

Don't wear shoes that will hurt after a couple of hours or ones with much of a heel. How about some silver or gold ballet slippers?

slehan 5 pts

I think the jeans & bling top would be fun to wear as someone said that LA is that kind of town.

darcybel 5 pts

It's always best to wear what you feel comfortable in--so you can have confidence--but if you're equally comfortable in all 3 outfits--I would go with the skinny jeans and bling top---you will be jumping up & down and sitting-standing-sitting-standing---and it probably goes on for hours--best to go with the skinny jeans & bling top.

slehan 5 pts

I have no fashion sense whatsoever so don't take my word for it. I think it would be fun to wear a great cocktail dress. Thanks for the contest.

ferriz 5 pts

i would go with the little black dress with a funky necklace and a pair of brightly colored heels.

I have actually BEEN to the idol finale and its a big mix of styles. Trendy "dressy casual" would be perfect and the little black dress will make sure you are not too over or under dressed. ;)

You could totally get away with a nice pair of dark skinny jeans and a trendy top. No words on it of course. Totally up to you!

willitara 5 pts

It wouldn't hurt to have some bling on the jeans as well at the top. Go all out and have fun.
