Leighton Meester’s Bottega Veneta Emmy Gown

Tracey Duncan — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 23:28:12 +0000

Leighton Meester wore the most gorgeous grecian Bottega Veneta gown to the Emmy’s last night, and I happen to think that it would be the perfect wedding dress. I saw her earlier on someone’s worst-dressed list, but that someone shall remain nameless, because a)I’m against the whole idea of worst-dressed lists, it’s just not nice, and 2)you can’t hate her because she’s the queen B! Check out her gorgeous gown:

I am completely mad for the puffy, drapey shoulders, the soft edges, and the detail around the waist. She looks so drop dead sexy and elegant at the same time that it’s hard to believe that this is Blair Waldorf! Not that Blair isn’t hot, she’s just a little preppy, and I imagine she would find this gown terribly, terribly gauche. But that’s Blair, and this is Leighton, and I think she looks fab, and that any bride would die to walk down the aisle in a timeless number like this one.

Calvin Klein Jade Halter Gown

Kori Ellis — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 20:17:59 +0000

I simple adore the color of this dress. I love it when I find a great looking gown in a color other than black or red.

This jade green gown features a halter top and a tie at the waist. It’s sexy and sophisticated without being overdone. If you are looking for something a little different wear to your next evening event, this Calvin Klein gown is a hot choice.

Priced at $208 from Nordstrom, it’s relatively affordable. I’d wear it with gold strappy sandals and a thick cuff bracelet. You can also get this gown in black or white, but it looks fantastic in green.
