Hayden Panettiere looked saucy this weekend at a Trump event in her flirty leopard mini-dress. Wearing animal print can be a risky venture because its a fine-line between classy and trashy, if you get my drift. But her look made me start thinking of fun ways to incorporate sassy leopard into my everyday wear.

This is a bit of a wild combo, but just hang with me for a second: This pencil dress from Forever 21 is a perfect base for this outfit, where a little layering is going to go a long way. Throw on a light-weight, open-front cardigan for relaxed appeal and belt the look with a patent leather skinny belt. Add some bright flats in the berry color of the season and you have a classic look with a funky twist. I personally love the look of opposing colors, especially as accessories. In fact, I think the best way to finish this look would be with a big red bag. Too wild for your tastes? Trade out one of the bright accessories for basic black. Either way, you can see how this leopard dress can become an everyday basic with some layering. Want to walk on the wild side? Just pair the dress with some high heels for a night on the town! And if you want to steal Hayden’s look, Forever 21 has several strapless versions like she is wearing.
