While it's a sexy look, it's just not refined enough for this particular event. I'm not terribly impressed by the hair or makeup either. Just not working for me.

These gowns with the bottom flounces are nothing new- they were all the rage in the 50's. She had the figure for this gown but I think the lacing in the back didn't go with the elegance of the gown and threw it off. Also, with a gown like that, wear your hair up girl!!
I think the dress is gorgeous, Plus if your critizing the dress and not looking at the smoking hot gorgeous woman who is wearing it, your a damn fool. Keep your opinion and shove it.
Melissa George is HOT!!!!
