Zoe Saldana has got to be so pleased that people no longer only know her as the sassy rebel from Center Stage, or the prissy friend from Crossroads. And boy is she making the most of that:
This SHOULD be something I don't love. It's got a lot of frou-frou hoo-ha, and generally, I don't love dresses that make me string words together that sound like Lamaze breathing. And as Jessica and I noted for NYMag.com, it does kind of recall the window dressings in a brothel. But... a really GOOD brothel that you might just even want to go hang out in for a while because it's luxe and clean and the employees are fun and like to help you with your problems. And all that stuff at the bottom somehow gels together into a funky but elegant skirt -- possibly enhanced by Zoe's glowing skin, perfect makeup, and appropriate restraint when it came to the bling. And the hue is wonderful. I want to roll around in that thing. Maybe she just has a gift for making stuff I might normally question look like stuff I'd love to try on if my life were to veer sharply in a different direction. Not that I want to attend awards show -- dear God, can you imagine how HUNGRY those people are? -- but that I'd like to invent a job wherein I get to try on a bunch of really expensive clothes and maybe lie around the house in them reading or doing the crossword. Surely someone's hiring layabouts...?
