MADEO MATES

Posted Sep 07 2009 @ 03:19 PM

Looks like it's official Sophia Bush and co-star Austin Nichols are giving love another shot! The on and off screen One Tree Hill couple was spotted making their way back to the car after a romantic mid-week meal at Hollywood hotspot Madeo on Sept 1. For her dinner date Sophia paired a cute gray leather skirt with a black silky top and black ballet flats (try Proportion of Blu's Diciannove Asymmetrical Skirt in Mauve or the Undici Asymmetrical Skirt in Grey with Nanette Lepore's Tango Top in Black tucked in). Love the texture combo of SB's leather skirt and silky top, but the stiff leather skirt is not working for her hips at all. Am I the only one who thinks she could have done better? Lastly SB wore a silver chain bracelet (make it edgy with CC Skye's Double Wrap Bracelet in Black) and carried her fav quilted Chanel bag. I usually can't resist Sophia's charm but this 'fit just isn't doing it for me – I might venture as far as to say it's the most unflattering thing I've seen her year over the past year. Sorry, SB! At least things are working out for her love life. Rumor has it sparks didn't really fly but Sophia and Austin briefly dated after mutual friend Jake Gyllenhaal introduced them in 2006, but they're taking things slow this time around and things are definitely looking up. Earlier this year Sophia said: "Austin Nichols is one of my dearest friends. We actually went on like four dates after I split up from you-know-who years and years ago and we've been like the best of friends ever since. We're a big family at this point." Hmmm, do you think their recent reunion is legit or just a ploy to pique viewers interest for the September 14 season premiere?
