Vanessa Williams In Dries van Noten – BAFTA Los Angeles 17th Annual Awards Season Tea Party

The BAFTA Los Angeles 17th Annual Awards Season Tea Party took place in LA last night.

“Desperate Housewives” star Vanessa Williams took to the red carpet wearing a Dries van Noten ‘Darby’ dress from the Fall 2010 collection.

Her particular dress didn’t take the runway, but you can tell its’ Dries by the distinctive floral print.

The multi-coloured brush stroke print asymmetrical neckline dress with a cascading frill going down the back, was paired with the most unfortunate black and grey striped Sergio Rossi heels.

PS this dress is probably the least nice variation .Sorry to nit pick there is no aubergine in the print. The print is olive green, orangey yellow and variations of amethyst with a black brush stroke over it–although some dresses have army green or blue brush stokes over the pattern. You may recall Maggie Gyllan?..wore a similar pattern to the Oscars last year.

Too matronly for Vanessa Williams. This girl can work a Balmain dress and look 25.

For the occasion, I really like it. It’s better than wearing some borin suit.
