SINGLE AND MINGLING

Posted Jul 29 2009 @ 11:58 PM

Hitting the Comic-Con 2009 festival in San Diego, Hayden Panettiere got all dolled up for the "Entertainment Weekly and Syfy Invade Comic-Con" after party at the Hotel Solamar on July 25. I hate that she's back to her slutty strapless ways, but HP's Zuhair Murad Spring 2009 draped cocktail dress is gorgeous. Even if you don't care for her style you have to admit the bright magenta shade has her tan absolutely glowing (try frocks in a similar shade like Sky's Wyatt Fleur di Lis Mini in Purple or Interlud's Stone Detail Tiered Dress in Lilac). Combined with sexy Christian Louboutins, a petite barrel clutch (like Julie K's Natalie Clutch in Earth) and a shiny black cocktail ring (opt for CC Skye's Niko Ring in Mirror and Black Resin), I think HP really knocked this one outta the park. Do you any of you think she could have done better? While fulfilling her Heroes duties at Comic-Con, HP got an interesting request from a big fan: "Can I see you up close?" Watch the vid to see how HP reacts! Although Hayden was seated next to her ex Milo Ventimiglia, she says she's perfectly comfortable moving on after their breakup. She's been spotted cozying up to British TV producer Stephen Jones, but she cleared up rumors about their dating sitch earlier this month: "I'm single and mingling. Steve lives in London, the distance is a bit too much. I'm not dating anyone specifically and I'm not looking for a house with anyone." Wonder how Milo is handling all of this?
