Jessica Alba is the latest A-lister to step out in a cut-out dress, as she looked breath-taking in a sleek black one shouldered Stella McCartney dress with cut-out detailing when she attended the Baby2Baby 10-Year Gala at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, California on Saturday, November 13th.
Cut-out dresses can sometimes be the dress of choice for someone wanting to go down the attention-grabbing and risqué route (yes Kendall Jenner, we’re looking at you!) but the 40-year-old Fantastic Four actress has shown how it can be done tastefully. She is the epitome of sexy sophistication and all we can say is, wow!
Jessica is a member of the Baby2Baby board of directors, so we understand why she wanted to make a stylish statement on the red carpet, which she walked with her husband Cash Warren. The slimline dress hugged every single curve perfectly, and it proved that you don't always need to flash the flesh to show the world how flawless your body is. We are in awe! The dress had a subtle slit on the side which was high enough to set pulses racing, while also revealing her matching black pointed-toe heeled pumps. It may not be the highest slit we've seen on celebs lately (can any slit get higher than the one on Lady Gaga's Valentino dress? We think not!) but it was still extremely sexy. Then again, is the Sin City actress ever not sexy?! We rest our case!
Jess finished off her look with her newly-dark hair down in a sleek and straight (and very glossy!) style, smokey eye makeup, and accessorized with a shiny black clutch which featured gold trim detailing on the edge, and some bohemian-inspired bangles. So to recap, if you want to know how to do the cut-out trend with class and sophistication, without revealing too much skin yet still achieving the maximum wow factor, look no further than Alba's winning look. She was perfection!
