With "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" premiering in theaters today, it's no surprise that members of the cinematic Cullen family are taking home top honors for red-carpet style this week. Two of our favorite vampire ladies made bold fashion choices at the same premiere event, both sporting cutting-edge gowns with cutout accents at the waist. But while one gal's missing pieces win our award for Style Superstar, the other's was...well, just a miss.
Rosalie Hale might be partial to all things dark and dreary, but the actress who plays her was anything but at the afterparty for a Cinema Society screening of the new "Twilight" film. Nikki Reed was blazing in a neon-green, floor-length Michael Kors gown with an open back, triangular cutouts at the waist and an up-to-there side slit that showed off her legs. It's a daring choice—but we don't give out Style Superstar honors for guts alone, and Nikki absolutely rocked this look. Her bronzed skin and bright lipstick are more than equal to the task of competing with this wild dress, and the chunky, cage-style shoes she paired it with are in keeping with her outfit's sense of fun.
But Nikki's wasn't the only high-contrast cutout gown on the scene; Ashley Greene also made a bold statement in an asymmetrical, black-and-white Donna Karan dress with a teensy cutout at the waist (just enough to reveal, like, one ab). But while Ashley looks gorgeous as always, we're filing this dress in the same category as a vampire husband: it's fun in theory, but in reality...well, it's hard to make it work. The dress looks thrown-together, and the cut doesn't flatter her figure—and between the single sleeve and that patch of flesh showing at the waist, the vibe is less "haute couture" and more "missing pieces."
