3rd Annual Essence Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon Red Carpet Stand Outs
In Fashion there are a lot of grey areas, but some things are black and white and at the 3rd Annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon, this was evident by the dress we saw on the red carpet.
Nudes, nudes, nudes, my mind is boiling over with all the nude inspired outfits we’ve been seeing lately. This spring 2010 trend is the biggest of them all, and I think if just enough people start wearing these soft barely there colors, we just might will ourselves into an early spring season.
Anika Noni Rose has been a busy bee, she just hosted the NAACP Image awards this week,, she stays consistent in her smart choice to rock this Carmen Marc Valvo Fall 2008, belted black and white ruffle tiered dress. I like the shape it creates, and the black belt makes her waist appear teeny tiny. She paired her dress with black pumps which ground the entire outfit.
Jada Pinkett Smith went for a more eclectic look, in a mid thigh v-neck satin tunic in a soft beige color. She also uses the opportunity to accessories with several bangles and a strappy studded sandal. What makes this look pop for me is the hair; it complements the overall theme very well.
Zoe Saldana looks lovely in a nude lace ruffle tiered Valentino spring 2010 mini dress. She’s one of my favourite red carpet starlets, and she’s only gaining momentum with her style with every new dress we see her in. For darker skin tones nude is not always nude, a cognac color open toe sandal suits her well in replicating the barely there look in the footwear department.
