While gossip columnists, tabloid reporters and inquiring minds were eager to discover whether or not another bundle of joy was patiently waiting to be revealed from behind the free flowing vintage gown Angelina’s wore, we at J&O were waiting to find out the name of that beautiful fabric that she chose to garment herself in for the annual red carpet affair.
Our curiosity was satisfied when it was revealed that her designer piece was a mahogany and slate colored, tie-dyed, paneled chiffon. And it looked great!
True to the nature of chiffon, the material created a fluid, free flowing look to the full length gown. Its fibers offered the perfect canvas for the warm earth toned dyes, and added a slight overlay of shimmer and texture atop a muted opaque foundation . Traditionally used for such formal occasions, chiffon carries a fabulous drape and offers a sexy yet modest look for its wearer.
It seems Angelina wasn’t the only celebrity who opted for this beautiful and versatile fabric. Lisa Rinna was a woman dressed to prowl the red carpet in her wispy black and white leopard print chiffon gown. Her low, halter cut neckline and open back dress created a sensual touch to a modestly draped hemline. Volumes of fabric flowed wild and free as she strutted and posed for the cameras that night.
Finally, we saw Kate Hudson in her full length avian inspired gown. Her strapless dress was designed with a soft plumaged breast line and volumous layers of a sheer pink and lavender printed chiffon that cascaded into a train as she seemed to float across the stage.
Once again, this elegant material created a glamorous look for an affair that is nothing less.
The handsomely tailored men who accompanied each of these actresses on the carpet or on stage, seemed to create the perfect backdrop for bringing out the sensuous and feminine qualities that the lovely ladies and their chiffons brought to the event.
