Lady in Red, the Domestic Goddess

So the Daily Mail is practically orgasming over  the dress Nigella Lawson wore to the NSPCC fund raising party last week.

Yes. It is a nice dress.

But I am not convinced that it really does look good on everyone.

In fact i don't even think it looks good on the four writers who tried it on. But then maybe that is because there is only so much magic a red dress can do,

They are right, it does look stunning on Nigella, but then for two and a half grand, it should! 

Also, Lawson could look stunning in a bin bag, yes she is curvaceous, but she's not fat. More importantly,  she's very beautiful. If she had mousy brown thin hair, a bland face and pasty skin, the dress would make no difference, she would still look drab, a bit like the 4 in the Mail who tried it on.

 Nigella wears clothes that make the best of her figure, the clothes take her from a 9 out of 10 to an 11. She knows her style and what works for her. The Mail are ridiculous for thinking that everyone should copy her and wear this dress. Most people cannot pull of red. And that's a fact.

Person style is important. Sometimes it doesn't work, but that's not the point. Fashion is about expressing yourself not conforming to what everyone else thinks is the must have for the season.

So for Nigella, the dress IS perfect. But everyone else.....not so much.
