What the Dancing with the Stars Contestants Should Wear This Season

Addicted to Dancing With The Stars? You re in good company. Tonight is the premiere of the 20th season of a show that unifies all rhythm fanatics, those who are avid dancers and those who simply wish they were. And as with every grandiose, theatrical-style production, the clothes that are worn play as big a role as do the steps in every waltz. From a jazz-hands-ready embellished bodysuit and an accordion-pleated gold skirt with burlesque musings to a salsa-ready hot pink slip, here are eight perfect looks we want to see the contestants twirl and spin in.
