While Laura K. favored the dress by Irina Shabayeva, the gown by Ra’Mon-Lawrence Coleman nearly made me swoon with delight. I thought this is the kind of dress that would make Rachel Zoe take notice on the runway, thinking of her clients for awards season. Uma Thurman, Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett or Nicole Kidman would all be stunning in this look; those ladies would understand exactly how to use the train for a dramatic effect on the red carpet. With the right Asprey, Fred Leighton or Van Cleef and Arpels gems (which of course the Project Runway designers did not have access to on the accessory wall) this garment would make a glamorous statement on a statuesque screen goddess at the Oscars.
