Need that silver dress in my life!

DOUBLE WANT!!!!!!!

did some obsessive research-- the dress is by Laquan Smith, retails $525 but only goes up to a size 12 :(

She looks gorgeous, that silver dress is amazing on her! But the photoshopping is horrible on that first picture, her skin is so touched up! :( Makes me wonder what else they decided to touch up :-/

Oh gosh, you're right! That is so disturbing!

I felt the same way when I saw the photos. Her legs are EXTREAMLY photoshopped. You can compare her actual legs here:

thanks for sharing. She's gorgeous, isn't she?

I want that bustier so badly!

Um, I understand wanting to smooth things out (ok, not really, but mainstream media, no surprise there, blah blah), but they could have at least shooped her kneecaps BACK IN.

She is fucking gorgeous, but all the "improvements" make me sad :/
