Lighting!

This is a phot by Annie Liebovitz. This photo has artificial lighting as you see. The lights come from behind the woman and shows her figure and posture about the way she stands. The lights also reflect of the floor and bouncing on to the bottom half of her dress which shies through and shows that the dress is light 'n' fluffy from the bottom because the light sparkles through and captures your eye on the glimmer glamour of it. Everything in the picture is in focus and keeps the woman as the main focus of the picture.

You need to manipulate the scene to create the effect you want, this might mean moving a light on a stand or moving your subject relative to the sun, or waiting for a better time of day to get the effect you want. http://www.geofflawrence.com/photography_tutorial_lighting.htm
