Unimpressed by the all-Armani clad women - a group that included style mavens Cate, Penelope, Ziyi, Katie and her majesty, Ms. Mirren - at the designer's eponymous pre-Oscar party last night, I took what I thought would be more than a few steps down on the fashion-ladder to peruse the womanly wares at the National Hispanic Media Coalition awards.
Yeah, I'd never heard of them, either.
But instead of the gaudy, pageanty, Miami-esque halter gowns I expected to quickly click through, I found "Ugly Betty" star America Ferrera in this beautiful chiffon LBD with geometric plunge neckline and delicately constructed flutter-tiered skirt.
To flatter her fuller figure, America smartly chose a muted color, a wispy fabric draped in layers with thickness-minimizing gathering at the waist, and a dramatic neckline that draws all attention upward to frame her two best assets: her face and décolletage.
Her simple black suede Prada peeptoe D'Orsays were an ideal choice to temper the busy layering of the hemline.
Jennifer Hudson, take note.

Oh, the neckline!

She's such a classy young star. Hard to find these days.
And stop apologizing for highlighting LBDs! I don't know about your other readers, but I'd much prefer to see those than trashy, shredded-looking Lindsay Lohan/Paris Hilton Cavalli dresses.
She does dress really well.
Love that neckline! You'd look great in that dress, though it'd cover up YOUR best ASSets a little too much :-)
