   no, she should have worn the belt, it makes the dress look so much better and giving her more of a waist.

   I love the look with the belt. Without it? not so much. It’s not as interesting.

   Definitely with the belt. And the dress should have been shorter (knee-length like on the model). Don’t Hollywood starlets have tailors?!

   Belt for definate, it defines her waist with black around her middle she looks square. beautiful dress though

   Before even reading your comments, that was the fisrt thing I thought upon seeing the picture. Also, I argee with Lexa about the length. Very disapointing in general, especially since we can see on the model how fabulous this dress can make a woman’s body look.

    I don’t think it is the belt that is the problem. It would be fine w/out the belt if the midsection was not as long (look at the model, the midsection is much shorter) and if she brought the hem abover her knee (I feel like I’m a broken record from yesterday with Marion!). That would define her waist better. I am starting to feel like the belt is being over used right now on dresses (thanks Michelle ).

    What about the shoes? In my opinion black shoes combined with navy in your clothing are seldom a good thing. There are exceptions, of course, but I really dislike these shoes with this dress. (Excuse me for bad English, i’m not a native speaker:-)

    I’m not a fan of the shoes. Black and navy do not work for me either

    I beg to differ! The dress looks great with the belt but I feel the belt is a bit predictable, with the whole red white and blue nautical theme.. She looks stunning, she really made the dress work with the matching lipstick!

    I like the runway version better! However, the red lipstick and clutch wins my vote! =]

    I like the dress without the belt. Agree with shoeaholic about the nautical look being too predictable.

    Definitely the belt. It’s just much more interesting with the 3rd color thrown into the mix.
