It's sent down the runway by designers including Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, Peter Pilotto, Antonio Berardi, Narciso Rodriguez, Lacoste and Betsey Johnson beyond all other formal dresses. It has also been featuring on the red carpet with increasing regularity. Everyone from Halle Berry to Carey Mulligan and Sarah Jessica Parker has showcased this special kind of formal dresses.
Though now appreciated by many fashion magazines and stars, the mullet has a troubled style history. Most commonly associated with the coiffure of the likes of footballer Chris Waddle, it has become a regular in the upper reaches of the 'worst celebrity looks of all time' lists. Now it's back...... as a dress.
Long at the back, short at the front (or 'business at the front, party at the back' as it was often described) - the mullet hairstyle's main difficulty, besides looking intrinsically risible, was that it tried too hard.
However, this spring many fashion magazines conclude that Mullet dresses are one of the best special occasion dresses we can use to mesmerize the crowd and one of the best dress to create a style statement. Its a clever way of 'doing long' without looking like a totally over-the-top Disney Princess - which is what has made it so popular on the red carpet.

Only last year Mad Men actress January Jones, an early adopter of the look, was being taken to task for wearing a blue Versace mullet to the Emmys, while Cheryl Cole's Julien Macdonald mullet (worn to collect her Glamour Women of the Year Award) received a similarly frosty response from fashion critics.
To wear a mullet dress, you should follow a few basic rules. For a start, only go for a mini skirt shape if you really have the legs for it - otherwise stick to a style that hits the knee.
Whatever mullet variation you go with, the heels should be as high as you can do. Flats and mullets do not match.

In fact, any permutation of the look is acceptable right now. If you often shop cheap formal dresses online, you can also buy one on the Internet. Just be confident, then any dress will be a gorgeous one.
