This is a pretty dress, and I'm glad she pulled back her hair; that and her makeup are working together to warm this up on her, which is helpful. I think she could've done something less bare with her shoes, though. Something funkier. Something to give it a little zing, or edge. Would badass boots be a bridge too far?

This is excellent use of back jewelry, though.

SHE RISES. (I think making wings of her pleats, while pleasantly dramatic, actually underscores that the tiny little minidress is rather meh.)
