    She looks ADORBS. Bonus points for the fab shoes.

  • Cheri Lee

    Earrings are boring; shoes are hot but they don’t really look very spectacular in the photo. Overall, she looks beautiful.

  • moppet

    I really think she looks great. Some of the detail is lost in the dress because it’s black, but she looks simple, elegant, beautiful. 

    • Sobaika

      It’s pretty difficult for her to look otherwise. I have a mini-crush on Beckinsale.

  • MilaXX

    I can’t help but imagine her other sleeve got stuck in a door on the way on stage. 

  • mhleta

    The whole point of the dress is to expose the gorgeousity of a lady’s shoulder. But she covered it with her hair! Otherwise, this one is  perfect. If I were that beautiful I’d sit around and gaze at myself all day.

    • moppet

       Oh, you bring up a good point. One demerit for hiding your lady-shoulder, Kate.

    • AmandaCathleen

       Yes! This is exactly what I was going to write. If you’re going to do a one-shouldered dress, don’t cover up that bare shoulder with your hair! It might seem a little silly, but it drives me crazy when starlets do this.

  • thehousesparrow

    Hair looks great. I already know TLo doesn’t like the one-shoulder thing, though.

    love this, i truly do – but what’s the point of doing a one-shoulder dress if you’re going to drape hair over the exposed shoulder? jus’ sayin’

    Kind of a perfect look for her. I wish she’d get her hair off her shoulder, though… Otherwise, I don’t think I’ve got any complaints.

  • kimmeister

    I wish the shoulder thingy was laying the way it does on the model.  Everything else, though, is fantastic.  Love the earrings.

    If that dress had both of its shoulders & sleeves I would be in love with it. As it is, I think a black wilma with disco glitter heels is too formal for a talk show & if she’s going to wear it, then she should push her (admittedly lovely) hair off that shoulder so we all get the impact.  If she didn’t want the bare shoulder to show, then she needed a different dress.

    That is a beautiful dress, though. If only it were all there.

    • Sara__B

      Yes. No matter how lovely she and her hair are, the one-shoulder hair and the one-shouldered dress don’t work well together. I’d like the dress better with both sleeves, too.

    Aside from maybe switching the earrings out for something with a little more contrast (though these do look nice), I think she looks awesome! A great version of a little black dress that’s not too tight, short, or otherwise revealing. Killa shoes, and hair and makeup are perfect.

  • LesYeuxHiboux

    Gorgeous. Not a single bad choice in view. Well done, Katie. I love how she/the stylist played with the asymmetry of the neckline through her hairstyle and that big earring.

    A classy look; she looks great. Although, the beauty of the asymmetrical sleeve is lost with her hair over her shoulder.

  • Imasewsure

    Love those shoes and her hair… she looks great (but hate the dress)

  • SapphoPoet

    I really dislike the hair-over-one-shoulder thing. 

  • jw_ny

    beautiful, but overdressed for the venue.  

  • quiltrx

    I like the dress–it’s very flattering on her.  And the shoes are good for a sitting venue, especially.

    Nerd boner alert.

      Girl boner alert.

  • RzYoung

    It’s nice to see her in fairly normal shoes (ie not mega platforms) and she looks amazing but isn’t it a little formal for a chat show?

  • http://twitter.com/flo_whytingale Florence Whytingale

    Of course!

  • RobertBestBarbie

    Fabulous.

    She has such an excellent face.  She looks great here. 

  • afabulous50

    Love the shoes – but the dress looks very heavy for July.

  • guest2visits

     Love the sparkly shoes. I would like the dress better without the shoulder ruffles.  This feels like a winter dress;
    even though it’s one sleeve. Maybe the extra ruffles, the dark earrings and the deep red polish push it that way.

  • melanie0866

    What is with the knee-length dresses lately?  They are not flattering on anyone.  Take it up four inches, and she’d look perfect.

  • marilyn

    Shoes are great.  Dress is uninteresting.

    Dress looks heavy, mother of the bride-ish, but I do have to say, she looks nice.

  • http://twitter.com/margs4 Margaret Grace

    okay, what evil things has she been doing to look like she’s 25 at the age of 39?! She’s certainly got the hair & look to play Cathy Cambridge, even if she’s 10 years older! 

  • LambeeBaby

    Oooooooh!! Those shoes are magnificent!

  • NICHOLAS PASQUALE

    Not sure about the shoes with the dress, but she looks really gorgeous.

    This is a dress for a more sever looking woman. Her features and smile are too soft. And then, they are accented by the wavy hair that is just an extension of the frill on the other side. It just doesn’t look like her.
