I am always hunting for gowns and dresses in my signature color which is violet of course! It seems that Marcia Cross and her stylist Jessica Paster are too! Here is Marcia Cross in yet another gorgeous violet evening gown selected by Jessica for a walk down the red carpet. 
What a wow color! I love it with her bright auburn hair. This gown was designed by Vera Wang and Marcia wore it to the Sag Award Ceremony in 2006. Marcia certainly isn’t afraid of color and it looks great on her! Asked if she selects her own outfits she says “No! I just put on what my stylist Jessica tells me to wear and go out the door!” They make a great team if you ask me because she always looks just wonderfully dressed!

Marcia Cross Looking Beautiful in a Beautiful Light Lavender~Violet Evening Gown
I’m always on the lookout for pictures of beautiful examples of successfully designed and beautifully worn evening gowns and party dresses in variations of my signature color violet.
Any variation of violet qualifies. Thus violet, lilac, lavender, pansy purple, deep velvet purple, even blue~white, blue~violet, pink~violet, and yellow~violet colors could qualify as real violet flowers actually occur in the wild in all these variations. The colors of violets are very flattering on women of all natural colorings. I believe this is because violet is the color of a flower, thus a natural color. It is the color that attracts bees and butterflies the most ~ which is why so many flowers naturally occur in variations of this color!
Violet van be delicate, as demonstrated in this ultra~feminine tiered tulle gown by actress Marcia Cross, or strong and sophisticated. Marcia looks delicate and young in this gorgeous dress! It is an almost frosty shade of cool light violet and looks beautiful with her pale pink~toned complexion. She wore a much different makeup palette than she usually does to compliment this dress. Her makeup is specially chosen to compliment and co~ordinate with her coloring and her gown in delicate cool tones, with a pink~violet lipstick, cool pink blush and violet and lavender eye shadows. She normally wears apricot tones to compliment her red~head coloring, but she looks wonderful in this violet inspired makeup in this gorgeous flower~like dress.
Christian Dior famously said, “I design flower women.” when he came out with his New Look Collection. When I saw Marcia Cross in this amazing dress I immediately thought of his famous saying because I telt she epitomized his idea. I think Dior would have approved of this design and the way she wears it. Of course it is a beautiful dress on its own, but she makes it even more beautiful because she wears it perfectly.
