From Red Carpet to Altar: Emmy Rossum at the MET Costume Institute Gala
Filed under: Fashion, From Red Carpet to Altar, Celebrity
- Craving structure -- This is not a free, flowing gown. It's designed to fit absolutely perfectly, and it does. The seaming paired with the detailed fabric creates a rich, sophisticated look.
- Body of work -- Emmy is a thin girl, and this dress really accentuates what curves she has. The mermaid fit isn't for everyone, but it most definitely works for her.
- Finished off -- She could have gone with a sleek, structured hairstyle to go along with her dress, but we love that she opted for loose waves. She's young, and a more defined 'do might have made the entire look seem a little beyond her years. With her hair down and her big eyes played up, she looks young, sophisticated, and totally sexy.
What bride wouldn't want to get this look for her wedding day? Here's what you need to do:
- Go for something with an intricate design. We are slightly obsessed with the stark contrast of black and white, but if you found a gown with more color, that might work, too. It needs to be a rich design, though -- no sweet little daisies or anything. And it can't be a light, airy dress -- it doesn't need to hug all your curves, but it shouldn't look like the slightest breeze would ruffle it.
- Accentuate your best assets. If you've got a body like Emmy, well, first thing -- good for you! But if that's the case, look for a bodice-style gown with a skirt that fits your hips. Curvier girls should still keep an eye out of a corset-style top with boning to achieve the right look.
- Play around with different hair and makeup styles. Depending on your age and attitude, red lips and a sleek chignon might be the ticket. Keeping the hair down and a little less "done" gives the whole look a younger feel.
