Every once in awhile we feel like we're getting totally schooled in a very specific style. Take Alexa Vega in this hot leather mini.

All-over leather at this long of a dress length would typically make us cringe, but the Machette Kills star works this Lorena Sarbu dress perfectly by adhearing to a few critical rules of the "raw hide" wearing road.

Rule #1: Stick with an understated color. This slate grey with a silver shine works perfectly, as would a black, but things get too crazy when you step into bold color territory, and forget red all-together—way too devil-inspired.

Rule #2: A little embellishment goes a long way. The studded detail on this dress gives it some depth without taking over the look.

Rule #3: Longer can actually be sexier. This below-the-knee cut leads to a '50s feel that reminds us of our favorite Mad Men vixens.

And finally, Rule #4: When in doubt, rock some major cleavage and call it a day!
