March 12, 2010— -- It's that time of year again: The woman America fell in love with on last season's "The Bachelor" will return as the new "Bachelorette."

When Ali Fedotowsky left Jake Pavelka and quit the show to prioritize her career, audiences cried. Now, she's preparing for next season when women across the country will be rooting for her to meet her prince.

ABC News spent time with Fedotowsky during her wardrobe fitting with "The Bachelorette" stylist Cary Fetman, where she opened up on her fashion sense and what's in store for the coming season.

The "fantasy" fitting began with Fetman scouring Barney's, Neiman Marcus and swanky shops on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles for sexy ball gowns, glittery cocktail dresses, that oh-so-perfect jean, killer heels, sparkling jewels and swimsuits galore.

"The first night I need you in something hot, sexy and sophisticated," Fetman told Fedotowsky.

Fedotowsky isn't afraid to make fashion statements with super-short dresses, low-cut tops and mile-high heels. For the first night on the show, she wants to wear something in a bright color with a special flare.

But the fashion risk-taker really sees herself in a different light.

"I like things that are just easy, and different," she said, "My ideal date outfit is a ripped pair of jeans, Converse and an off-the-shoulder, loose-fitting sweater."

Fetman, who has been the resident stylist to Bachelors and Bachelorettes for a combined 17 seasons, said Fedotowsky is "hot and sophisticated" but "doesn't know it yet."

"I was listening to the things that she describes herself as. And I'm looking at it as a professional going, 'You're none of those things. You might do it at home, but with me you're going to the hottest look ... on the rack, you're pulling the best dress, you're pulling the sexiest, the shortest, the most outrageous things,'" he said.

The style trend for the new season will be asymmetrical looks, which Fedotowsky loves.

"There's going to be a one-shoulder top," Fetman said. "There's going to be a one-shoulder dress. There's going to be a one-shoulder sweater."
