ALMA Awards Red Carpet: America Ferrera

Why is America Ferrera so classy and beautiful? I mean, every time I see her on the red carpet, she just looks good in whatever she is in. Granted, she doesn't have the normal stick-thin Hollywood body type - she's a real woman. She has curves and she knows how to use them. She knows her body so well and I must applaud her stylist for putting her in such gorgeous gowns that flatter her body.

I remember when I met America in Pasadena at the Television Critics Association converence, she was sweet and she was wearing a fierce Stella McCartney dress.  I was doing an impromptu interview with her and I think she got annoyed with me because she was trying to eat. I would be annoyed with me too. Nonetheless, she was nice.

This print on this strapless dress has potential to be a disaster but Ferrera emits an air of sweetness and lady-like charm. In other words, she's wearing the dress, the dress is not wearing her. And top it off with some nice white bowed shoes and you got yourself a modern, yet girly look.
