MARCHESA MARVELOUS

Posted Oct 09 2009 @ 08:14 PM

Making her way to LA on the press tour for Couple's Retreat, Kristen Bell stuns at the Mann's Village Theatre premiere in Westwood, CA on October 5. I simply can't explain how much I love her pale blue Marchesa Spring 2010 strapless gown, from the same collection as Olivia Wilde's Emmy Awards gown this year. The intricate lace and chiffon layered style and draping chiffon train are a refreshingly feminine pick for Kristen. To nab the same delicate style for fall without breaking the bank, opt for Sue Wong decadent creations like the Beaded Bodice Empire Dress in Beige, the Victorian Layered Gown in Ivory or the Ostrich Feather Short Dress in Ivory. KB completed the look with champagne satin Loubs, a silver wrap bracelet (like Michele Michel's Swirl Bracelet in Silver) and a pretty cocktail ring. Love the romantic waves around the face – any other hairstyle wouldn't have done the dress justice. What do you think of Kristen's red carpet attire? While KB's silver screen debut hasn't made much of an impression on audiences (it's scoring a rotten 12% on Rotten Tomatoes), she'll have another chance to shine on screen as Christina Aguilera's rival in the upcoming flick Burlesque, the story of a small town girl who steals the show (and Kristen's spotlight) after getting a job at a burlesque club in LA. It will be Mamaguilera's big screen debut and the first time KB will have her claws out on camera – unless you count her bitchy character in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The filming doesn't start until next month, but rumors of a possible catfight between Christina and Kristen are already flying. Who do you think would win?
