Spotted on several different celebrities and in magazine editorials, this ultra sexy jumpsuit isn't the easiest look to pull off. Lets weigh the options and decide on who did it justice.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi78G_kQtWhb8mOC83Y1NDtPSKxs-KlXFhokJvwFvZ1-Dm29GvGqhxBc5K58F2e0gUi3eupzQiNU9Cxyh4w4Kd0dJN9xxx8we59h4QG60wSFhuFzcCm28ff3xmZ9QDLEq1vH2dT9qaMEinr/s1600/wwibvalentino.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi78G_kQtWhb8mOC83Y1NDtPSKxs-KlXFhokJvwFvZ1-Dm29GvGqhxBc5K58F2e0gUi3eupzQiNU9Cxyh4w4Kd0dJN9xxx8we59h4QG60wSFhuFzcCm28ff3xmZ9QDLEq1vH2dT9qaMEinr/s640/wwibvalentino.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>*Bridesmaids</i> actress <b>Kristen Wigg</b> was the first to don the scarlet suit with folded corsage detail, in early February this year.

The reality actress accessorized with a multi-strand <i>Chanel</i> pearl necklace and cream strappy heels by <i>Christian Louboutin</i>. The jumpsuit seems a size too big.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">*<b>Jada Pinkett Smith</b> stepped out in June wearing the altered, cropped version of the <i>Valentino</i> jumpsuit, giving it an entirely different appeal.

Resort Romance by Valentino 2013

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Andy Warhol Inspired Pop Art + Retro 60's + Ladylike Lace pretty much sums up Valentino's buoyant and optimistic Resort collection for 2013. A floral confection of sundae shade dresses sets this decadent range into motion, followed by a zesty serving of lime green designs.</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The peplum makes an appearance once again, featuring sheer yokes and sleeves, chicly paired with slim-fit trousers. The romance of vintage guipure lace is given a modern update in sunshine yellow, rich emerald green, ruby red and snow white.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pastel print A-line dresses are nipped in the waist, and feminine tulle maxi gowns are delicately embroidered with garden-specked beadwork and tiny floral appliqués.</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Moving on from sprightly daywear, the collection takes a darker turn with a set of coal-black </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">pants suits and skirts, and demure </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">gowns in duotone animal print and optical alluring stripes.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The kitten heel re-emerges in 2013, and is a constant feature throughout, clasped by metallic ankle straps. Vibrant hand-held leather clutches duly compliment each look; these are sure to be on the wish-list of Valentino fans everywhere. Vivid splashes of fuchsia make an eye-catching end to this exquisite Pre-Spring collection.  </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Who Wore It Better - Awards Show Edition

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Celebrities should know by now that Awards Season is the one time of year when they will be photographed the most and in the public eye. So wearing the same outfit as any other starlet during this short space of time should be carefully avoided. But on occasions when they don't, we have posts like these. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Who Wore Nina Ricci Better?</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8QDguo59ExBL9L8lCehWf4yN0oOh00ppnb2iM71_pA1FqtEGkYcgUu4rLnbNXlG6SKuSYugVAnzloGY-UIYhz2RvLyHhmLSUPkzpBWPEK392tI2c1kcMhB9WQYzd9ChzH_OhaWnF3xTom/s1600/ww1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8QDguo59ExBL9L8lCehWf4yN0oOh00ppnb2iM71_pA1FqtEGkYcgUu4rLnbNXlG6SKuSYugVAnzloGY-UIYhz2RvLyHhmLSUPkzpBWPEK392tI2c1kcMhB9WQYzd9ChzH_OhaWnF3xTom/s640/ww1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Left:</b> British beauty<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"> </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">Keira Knightley</span></b> wore this black taffeta and lace <i>Nina Ricci</i> dress to the 'National Board of Review Awards' in New York on 10 January 2012. The dress has a sheer lace paneled bodice with ruched sides. Keira paired it with black tights, black <i>Roger Vivier</i> heels and a quilted black <i>Chanel</i> bag.

I'm presuming that Beth didn't watch the show. Selena looked pretty pairing it with nude heels by <i>Giuseppe Zanotti</i>, incidentally, and a black clutch.
