As the lady of honor at the 2009 Campari Calendar launch in Milan, Italy on Dec 2, Jessica Alba took a big chance with her poinsettia red silk frock and is already getting blown up for it. The avant-garde dress by Dolce & Gabbana combines a tight, fitted bodice with a sharply angled skirt and strategically placed oversized bows on the shoulder and waist. In my opinion, this frock transcends fashion and takes on an art form all its own, but there are plenty of critics already asking what she was thinking or more pertinently, what was D&G thinking? I’ll let you be the judge – do you think the wide cut works for her, or is it too unflattering? The red platform heel selection could have been more elegant, but cascading ruby earrings with a matching bracelet by Bulgari are a perfect touch. If you’re a fan of crimson, pair some sexy heels with Miguelina’s Sandrica Dress in Red, Cleo Brands’ Off Shoulder Wrap Dress in Burgundy, or rock the holiday look with Autumn Cashmere’s Kimono V Neck Top in Madeira. If Bulgari isn’t in your budget, Kuo Ting’s Hammered Tear Drop Earrings with Rubies in Gold will work with all 3 options above. After the launch ceremony, Jess gushed about the photoshoot: “All the clothes were very cool. They’re young, sexy and fresh. I’m usually walking around in comfy clothes with a baby on my arm and it’s nice to dress things up and feel sophisticated, sexy and surrounded by so much beauty. It was all very chic, but still young and cool, my favorite combination!” The limited edition calendar will be released shortly, but only 9,999 copies will be printed, making each one apt to fetch a high price. Do any of you have Ms. Alba’s Campari calendar on your Christmas list?

Agree, she is hot, and should be famous on the tall celeb site: Tallmingle.C O M where are many handsome guys and hot models.guest on Dec 08 2008 @ 05:38 AM
the dress ruins it all, and then especially the bottom, just straight down would have been fine already, no they have to make a semi-clock of her, i could hang her in my christmas tree if i had one
besides the dress she looks gorgeous, only what 6 months after giving birth ....guest on Dec 08 2008 @ 09:48 AM
