Here is Jessica Stroup of the resurrected 90210 dressed in appropriately resurrected 80'/90's iconic designer Herve Leger. I love the dress, it has a perfect sense of imbalance balance which I write about often. The body geometry of the asymetrical straps and the column 80's body is fun for Jessica's petite shape, The flower on her hip ties in the whole look. This red carpet look could have been a winner but there are two major missteps that don't deliver the one-two punch Jessica was striving for.1-The open toe metallic sling back shoe with the dark toe nails. appears to be too small her toes look like they are slightly hanging off. An absolute style NO-NO. Jessica should have worn a suede round toe platform pump either in black or Taupe a betty boop styled ankle strap would have given more depth to the short and tight column hem which is very indicative of the 80's/90's period that Herve leger is famous for. The shoe chosen looks like a last minute scramble.
2-Jessica's hair, like the shoes also looks like an afterthought. My suggestion would have been to go for full sexy volume. Herve Leger is meant for a girl with body, since jessica has a diminutive figure, the body should have gone all in her hair.
Style Tip- Concentrate on your hair and shoes just as strongly as choosing your dress. Getting dressed is like painting a portrait. Each stroke adds to the layering and complexity of your painting,
