Jessica Alba in Valentino Haute Couture

Described as having a “swarm of black organza and jet stones,” Jessica Alba’s dress of choice while attending the Venice Film Festival premiere of “Machete” was certainly a buzzworthy look–but for all the right reasons. Not only is it Valentino Haute Couture, but the dress, which goes from short to long from front to back, is a modern way to do evening while maintaining a youthful aesthetic. Alba’s got killer legs and the perfect chest to wear strapless; the two, when combined, make for a fabulous combination. My only qualm, if I were to choose one, is that I wish it had been in a neon or bright color.
