SAG 2008 Fashion : America Ferrera

america-ferrera.jpg

OMG, I am going to be skewered and barbecued for calling America Ferrara’s Monique Lhuillier charcoal grey dress a Fashion Miss but here it goes. Look, I LOVE America and I adore Monique Lhuillier. Not only does she make beautiful and body flattering dresses. Not to mention she’s a Filipina like me. I love the one she made for Marcia Cross. But I don’t like this color on America. It’s dull. It’s elegant, YES. But not for a vibrant girl like America. I expected her to wow me again like her cobalt blue dress at the Emmy’s. To be honest, if you take the lace-jeweled shoulder off, this would look a little bit like her dress at the Emmy’s. Just a little bit. I understand that if you like a designer who knows how to make a flattering dress for your body, stick with it. I agree wholeheartedly. But I wish Lhuillier went for another color other than charcoal grey. This would look marvelous on Vanessa Williams or Glenn Close.

Again, I love America Ferrera. I guess I expected more vibrant colors from her, not a charcoal grey one. Especially from a vibrant and oh-so talented young woman like her. :(

    I don’t know, it is a gorgeous dress, and it does flatter her body type perfectly. I think it would look good no matter what color it was in.

  19. Oscar’s 2008 : Hillary Swank In Versace

    [...] Swank looked stunning in a one-shoulder Versace dress but it reminded me of the Monique Lhuillier dress that America Ferrera wore at the SAG. Still, Hillary looked amazing as always. I love the flower details on the sheer one-shoulder [...]
