Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Amber Valletta Takes The Wrap

October 26, 2009  5:45 pm


Is it just us, or have recent red carpets been a sea of banded body-con frocks, strong-shouldered sequin minidresses, and other paparazzi-provoking looks? While we’re not immune to the appeal of a little (or even a lotta) va-va-voom, we have to applaud Amber Valletta for striking a blow for originality with this Etro wrap gown. The design is quite unlike the in-your-face wares currently out there and yet still of-the-moment—ethnic-inspired wares are a key Spring ‘10 runway trend. Do you agree that Valletta’s pick is a refreshing change of pace? (And who are some of your other favorite fashion renegades?)

  2. Looks like a night dress, like she just rolled out of bed, freshened up, made up her face and forgot to change into an outfit!

  3. This could have been handled a lot better.

  4. Love Amber in this dress — beautiful as usual! And I applaud her for stepping out of the norm of the body con dress — especially since she is someone who could pull it off flawlessly!

  5. Nay… It is very customy, but it really looks like if she was comming out of the shower…

  6. I love that she has dared to cover up for Autumn, and the shape is gorgeous, but I think a different colour would have made it look less like an overly luxurious dressing gown.

  7. I love the mood, somethings up with the front wrap though. She looks beautiful.

  8. She looks like a Greece woman of the past, but actually she makes a fool out of herself. This dress doesn’t fit her and if you see her socalled smile you know what I mean. She’s uncomfortable in this dress, so she have to hire another stylist, hahahah. Amber was a great model but she isn’t a trendsetter at all. Ciao

  9. could’ve used a severe hairstyle. dress isnt bad but its no wow.

  10. I think it looks great. Reminds me a bit of Tilda Swinton; someone who goes her own way, always.

  11. I’ve always liked her look: fresh-faced and more of a lady, not a sexpot. I think she looks lovely.
