Even though I wasn't particularly impressed with her wardrobe, I think Jessica Alba's recent trip to New York deserves a mention. She arrived at the opening reception of the Clinton Global Initiative at the Museum of Modern Art on Sept 23 with her husband Cash Warren before hurrying to the 4th Annual Important Dinner for Women at Cipriani 42nd Street. Straddling the line between fashion and politics, Jess opted for a vibrant red burnout velvet Prada Fall 2009 dress with an abstract floral print (get the luxe look with LaROK's Twist Wrap Dress with Ribbon in Black or Tricia Fix's Lanette Mini Dress in Sage). I've tried to be nice about Jessica's propensity for hosiery in the past, but this calls for an intervention. Why, why tights with everything? This dress would have been amazing with those thigh high boots she wore during NY Fashion Week, or even a sheer pair of stockings would have softened this look considerably. But no, the stark black tights, plain patent Mary Janes and no-frills hair equals a no-frills 'fit, unfortunately. I must say I do like the shade of rouge she picked to match the dress, and the simple black wristlet (like Julie K's Sarah Clutch in Black Glaze) and cuff bracelet (Danielle Stevens' Monogram Bracelet in Gold would be a nice touch) are decent complements. I just can't say anything else nice with the horrible hosiery ruining the look! Is it just me who thinks the tights have been overdone? The following day, Jess continued on her political path at the Clinton Global Initiative, taking the stage for a panel discussion with Bono on a wide range of global issues, including education. Upon her return Jess blogged about her experience and seized the opportunity to tell her fans about her commitment to 1GOAL: Education For All, aiming to raise awareness of the 75 million children around the world who don't have access to education. I wouldn't have thought I'd be interested in reading up on Jessica's thoughts on education, but she impressed me with the amount of info she picked up at the CGI. Check out what she wrote and tell me what you think about the cause!

Totally agree - lose the black tights already!guest on Oct 02 2009 @ 12:47 PM
Jesus! What a horrible hair !guest on Oct 03 2009 @ 02:28 AM
I dont like her hair so light and pulled back like that, she is such a pretty girl and she makes herself look dull and faded....guest on Oct 03 2009 @ 10:03 AM
Thigh Highs with this dress would not have went well together. It would have mad it look slutty. The tights are getting played out Jessica!guest on Oct 05 2009 @ 01:05 AM
i think thigh highs would have worked. with a black waistbelt. much better and not slutty at allguest on Oct 05 2009 @ 02:57 AM
Jessica has such beautiful features! i don't understand why she wants to show this older looking image of herself the way she does, it is not attractive at all.guest on Oct 05 2009 @ 04:39 PM
she really has an issue with her hair...if she wants an advice: keep it natural ! anyways, love the shoes and the black tights, but the dress looks like the curtain in gone with the windguest on Oct 10 2009 @ 02:34 PM
she looks like its christmas and i like her with brown hair better its more natural on herguest on Oct 11 2009 @ 07:06 PM
she looks strange with blonde hair--it really washes out her brunette features. Tights really don't go with this feminine dress.guest on Jan 10 2010 @ 08:26 PM
