HP HEATS UP

Posted Sep 06 2008 @ 03:16 PM

Looking divine in a red hot mini dress, Hayden Panettiere exercised her political prowess on August 27 by attending the Creative Coalition Gala in Denver, CO. The upcoming presidential election in November will be HP’s first chance to cast a ballot to pick the next pres, so I can see why she’s taking the Creative Coalition’s event so seriously! For her ‘fit, Hayden picked a red mini with gold details (check out the very similar design of Lotta Stensson’s Braided Sun Dress in Yellow, or nab the red hue with the Shirred Mini Tube Dress in Poppy) and stuck to the glitzy theme with her gold envelope clutch (like Carla Mancini’s flashy Small Python Clutch in Gold), sexy braided gold heels, classy diamond studs (try taking it up a notch with Rachel Leigh’s fun Triangle Stud Earrings in Topaz) with a simple charm necklace (like Maya Brenner’s The Charm-ing Necklace in Gold) and her fav swirl cuff bracelet (similar to Michele Michel’s Swirl Bracelet in Silver). Lately, HP’s been trying out a variety of new looks, from short-short mini dresses like the leopard one she donned a few weeks ago at the Trump bash to experimenting with bold red lipstick for her TRL appearance. Hayden describes her personal style, "I usually try to mix class and then really funk it out. It's rock meets class. I try — not always succeed, but I try." What do you think – does HP pull off the red hot look? In addition to her political activities, Hayden has been a busy bee promoting the new season of Heroes, appearing on MTV’s TRL and the Late Show with David Letterman this week. With the third season premiere coming up on September 22, HP and her co-star bf Milo Ventimiglia have a lot of work to do to get fans pumped up for the new season. If you recall the writer’s strike last year, Heroes was one of the shows that unfortunately ended abruptly in the middle of the season. It’s been a long wait to see how the show will continue, but the new Villians chapter should have everyone glued to the boob tube… if not just to see HP’s smiling face!
