When Herve Leger first had its revival everyone jumped on the bandwagon. That was in 2007, a year later, and we are officially o.v.e.r the body-con dresses, mostly because they are everywhere and everyone from Catherine Zeta Jones to Heidi Montag is wearing them.
Despite the overload, there have been some great Herve Leger dresses on the red carpet this year.
My personal favourites were worn by Rachel Bilson and Kirsty Gallacher. Rachel’s dress gave her a fantastic figure we did not even know she had, and Kirsty’s for the bold colours, and how the dress showed off her athletic frame.
Just because it was the most worn brand of 2008, this did not make it a good thing. Some bodies are not made for Herve dresses, Mischa Barton and Michelle Ryan proved that.
We also knew that we were over Herve dresses when The Hills stars Heidi Montag and Audrina Patridge started wearing them.
Rosettes, contrast straps, blocks of colour, high necklines, respected actresses jumping on the bandwagon a year too late Herve Leger were all no no’s in my book.
