A celebrity needs always to look her best–never more than when she’s walking a red carpet during awards season. Even in that rare year when she’s not nominated in ten or twelve major categories, Dolores can’t avoid the spotlights or the paparazzi. For her upcoming appearance at the Woollen Globes, she called upon noted designer Nicole Winona Reeves. “I have inherent va-va-voom,” she said. “What I need is a look that will amp that up to va-va-va voom. Or even va-va-va-va-va-va-voom. While still maintaining my image as a serious professional, of course.” The result is Drop Dead Red - a full-length evening gown worthy of the two-time winner of Best Featured Livestock in a Comedy or Musical. Reeves masterfully mixes regal cable details (her signature) with the flirty fun of a halter neck. “When I make my entrance,” says Dolores, “people won’t know where to look.” Coming or going, this one’s a winner.
