Purple reigns supreme on the fall runways. From Ralph & Russo, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace to Gucci and every designer in between, the regal color Purple took over. Paula stole the stage on the second live show of The X Factor strutting in wearing a super short purple embellished mini dress that screamed exotic barbarella glamour. Her look drew inspiration from the Versace catwalk pairing her purple embellished dress with black muted tights to let the sparkle take centre stage. She finished off the look with boots again, this time calf length platform boots to show off her long legs similar to the red pair she wore at boot camp. This is not the first time Paula’s selected to wear regal Purple choosing it for the very first round of X Factor auditions in Los Angles then wearing an Yves Saint Laurent silk redux dress and matching heels and earrings. I love this purple embellished dress on her. The dress shows off her body perfectly and she looks glowing. Her hair looks slightly shorter and more of a sweeping fringe has been cut in. Myself, I prefer it slightly longer and loose as it feels sexier and sassier. Either way she’s a drop dead diva! She’s got the look and at the moment she’s right out in front and everyone is loving it.

I myself prefer her with the side fringe, or no fringe at all. But it is a soft look, too, and I generally like that. I just hope she will generally stick with the long hair, since it’s just gorgeous. and I needed a while to realize how brilliant it was that she wore the dress with the dark tights. Love!
I also prefer her hair with the side fringe, but since she was wearing purple, I’ll forgive it, hehe. Short-dress + boots always looks great on her and this was no exception. ;)
