The look was romantic and feminine, complimented by soft, cascading waves, full lashes and diamond drop earrings. The dress was a stunning, brilliant blue which complimented Gabourey's dark skin perfectly. It was adorned with sparkling floral embellishments on the bust and waistline. Beautiful!
The silhouette is what I loved the most. The empire waist was beyond flattering on Gabourey (finally!!!). It created a waistline and balanced out her top-heavy torso. The strapless top elongated her neck while the draped sleeves camouflaged the meatiest part of her arms. Just brilliant!
I'm thrilled that several fashion designers stepped up for the chance to dress the unconventional beauty---and even happier that Marchesa was chosen. Gabourey's look at the Oscars proved that everyone can look ravishing with the right silhouette!
What do you think of Gabourey's beautiful blue Marchesa gown? GLAM or a SHAM?
Kisses,
