The X Factor USA Auditions, Seattle, 30 June 2011

  

One trend I haven’t been able to ignore this Spring is the use of tassels on everything from belts and bags to hemlines and necklines. Tassels have been made to stand out and have been all over the catwalks in 2011. They were first spotted on the Gucci and Louis Vuitton runways, to name just two. More recently, however, tassels have been spotted on a mass of celebrities. Paula choose to wear Gucci for the last day’s filming in Seattle selecting a satin-jersey sleeveless wrap-effect dress with a heavy stretch-crepe black skirt and scarf-style detail at the neck. The tasseled scarf detail adds a glamourous bohemian twist to this signature style Gucci dress. The dress retails at 900 GBP or 1,400 USD. If you love Paula’s dress it’s currently in the sale from net-a-porter for 450 GBP or 725 USD. I like the fact Paula has gone for a more elegant, grown up look than some of her earlier style selections. The top of this dress reminds me of the dress designed by Leanne Marshall she wore in New Jersey and as on TV you only really get to see the top half of Paula’s outfit I may have chosen a different look only for variation. I  love this similar burnt orange Gucci dress ( http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/115293)
