This is a photo of a photo (poor photo-taking skills on my part) of Kerry Washington in the Elle November 2010 Issue.
a) Kerry is gorgeous and has a great body and this picture of her does so much justice
b) I am OBSESSED with the the faux-suade wrap-dress by Balmain. It is not only gorgeous because of the smooth fabric, but it is one of the most flattering dresses I have ever seen. And Kerry works it! In addition, the sharp shoulder detail is fabulously fierce and so hot right now
This dress is so universally flattering because it truly complements a woman's shape (read: Donna Karen) and creates/accentuates a woman's hour-glass figure. The shoulder work on the wrap styled dress adds even more oumph because it emphasizes the figure even more.. as does the DEEP-V-NECK, which i absolutely love on any thing because that also flatters/accentuates an hour-glass figure. The belt-clasp detail at the side of the waist, which ties the wrap together, also acts as a flattering accent because it draws the human eye to the cinching at the waist, ultimately creating the illusion (however, in Kerry's case, the actuality) of a tiny waist and, thus, hour-glass figure. o, and dont let me forget the slit. Kerry gets away with the of the deep-v-neck + high slit because of the long sleeves (note: if dress has a deep-v-neck as well as a high slit at the leg and does not have long sleeves - do not wear!)
I also like the white nail polish. it pops out without being "too much"
... o yea, and her hair style is great. not only is it sexy and voluminous to begin with, but the juxtaposition of the wild maine works with this structured dress.
o, and great idea with NO jewelry!
everything works here!
this dress/look is overall: sexy and tastefully bold
i need to have this dress!!
