My first reaction to seeing Jessica Stam at the American Ballet Theatre’s 2012 Gala was ‘What is Jessie J doing in New York?’.
I don’t think I will ever get used to seeing Jessica with dark raven locks.
The model looked sensational attending this glamorous event wearing a Valentino gown.
This striking signature lace gown with a lace draping and cascading ruffles was beautifully styled with a matching Valentino mini ‘VaVaVoom’ leather shoulder bag (worn as a clutch) and bedazzling peep-toes.
She gave us more bedazzlement with silver cuffs and stunning statement earrings.

Dear Fashion Deities,
Please, oh please, let this flawless look end up on the BDOTW list. I’ve not smiled and swooned so much all day!
+3!
Gorgeous. Love how she found the balance between looking super-glam and overdone. Just the right amount of jewelry and the matchy-matchy feel of her red lips and clutch actually works.
+1
she’s so, so gorgeous in this look. i love everything.
i’m with you on this, FC, i just can’t see myself getting use to her hair colour…
She looks amazing!
She looks gorgeous. BDOTW worthy in my opinion.
wow
I love this look, BDOTW for sure.
Totally stunning and a worthy BDOTW contender!!
Outstanding! BDOTW worthy for me.
Beautiful, neck to toe. The hair looks too dark and jarring to my eye. Otherwise, perfection.
The hair is too jarring to my eye as well, way too dark.
Also can’t help but think of gold jewellery with this look instead of silver.
She looks lovely. I like the dark hair as I think it makes her features stand out.
i loooooooove this!!! brunette jessica is sort of getting on my nerves but nothing is distracting from her lovely dress and how she accessorized! bdotw worthy.
Love it.
Me, too.
Woooow!!!!! She totally shut it down!! Its perfection – she looks beautiful.
Now that you mention it, I see the resemblance to Jessie J as well. If only Jessie J was this chic.
The bag has me salivating.
She doesn’t pull of the dark hair. This is a very Valentino look.
I like how Jess captures the spirit of the designer in each look- remember when she wore Gareth Pugh and went all edgy? Here is went all glamorous.
Now, that’s how you do stunning!
Perfection, head to toe. Glamorous yet effortless–I’m loving the raven hair contrasted with the red. She is my BDOTW until further notice! LOVE!
Whoa, I didn’t know she went brunette. Atleast those stunning cat eyes of hers stands out more now. She should wear blue.
BDOTW! Hot damn
She looks drop dead gorgeous. I love her new dark locks especially with that vibrant red.
BDOTW, for sure!
Maybe I’m biased, because basically I never met a red Valentino I didn’t like, but I think she looks stunning!
By the way, which collection is this gown from? Or is it custom-made? I’m just curious, because this truly looks like that “classic” Valentino which I always loved.
Fall 2011 off-runway
Thanks!
