Fab or Drab? Mila Kunis in Monique Lhuillier

Tea length dresses are so incredibly difficult to wear, and as best as I can tell, that’s the most accurate definition of the Monique Lhuillier dress that Mila Kunis donned for the 2009 Emmy Awards on Sunday night. It’s not a ball gown, not a cocktail dress – at least in a certain sense, it’s an incredibly chic tutu.

And I kind of love it, at least because it didn’t look like anything that we saw on a sometimes-boring Emmys red carpet. The deep wine color is amazing with her skin tone, and the construction is a bit non-traditional, particularly when you consider the average dress worn to these types of shindigs. Risk takers are few and far between in the age of celebrity stylists and borrowed gowns and diamonds, so I appreciate that she did something different, and the length showcases her beautiful Salvatore Ferragamo platforms, which she paired with a VBH clutch. My only criticism is that she is already so petite, and the dress hits on a part of her leg that makes her look a bit…stumpy. But I might forgive that based on all of its positive qualities.
