Unless you are really going for full out fancy dress it’s probably best to choose a tasteful evening dress in red, white OR blue,  rather than following in the footsteps of Geri Halliwell in her Ginger Spice days (see here) you’ll find that choosing one or at the most two flag shades is a little more tasteful.
