The X Factor USA Auditions – Newark, New Jersey – 08 June 2011

This stunning gold dress is designed by the wonderfully talented Leanne Marshall who has designed for Paula before (an equally cute short red dress) and I hope will get the opportunity to do so again and again. This dress has a Grecian or Romanesque feel about it from the golden colour which is subtle to complement the smoothness and shade of her skin to the soft, draped romantic material with the sash giving definition while wearing flowy fabric. The back is back in 2011 and celebrities have been pictured all over the red carpets wearing backless dresses. Paula is wearing this lavishly low back dress really well, showing plenty of skin and the way she is wearing her hair slightly bigger, wilder and messier complements the feel of this dress. I’ve never seen Paula looking better in the last month. Her overall style has really stepped up a gear and she is looking HOT. Praise to her glam squad they are doing a fantastic job. This dress actually reminds me of a similar style gold dress I brought back in a/w 2009 from of all places Monsoon (pictured above) for 135 GBP 219 USD for the Christmas party season when Grecian was all over the catwalks and in the shops. Like Paula’s it has no back and is still hanging in my cupboards – humm time for a hunt through and a new outing!
