Runway or Reality?

Monique Lhuillier on the Runway..and on the Red Carpet

Beautiful actress Michelle Monaghan wore this stunning Grecian-inspired strapless ombre Monique Lhuillier gown to the recent red carpet premiere of the movie in which she stars, "Made of Honor". To the left is the way designer Lhuillier showed it on the runway and on the right, Monaghan on the red carpet. I have to say I love it both ways. On the catwalk, the model looks like a pale Russian princess entering a St. Petersburg palace... On Michelle, the gown looks elegant, fits beautifully and really stands out against the pink pastel movie premiere backdrop. For me, this one is a tie. What do you UBER readers think?
