Well Played, Kelly Rowland

It's so intriguing to me when a celebrity decides to attempt yellow. I'm one of the few people who truly hated it on Cate Blanchett a few years ago at the Oscars because I thought it was all wrong with her makeup and made her look sickly; I liked the shade Michelle Williams (the actress, not the Child of Destiny) chose when she was nominated because it was a rich hue but not so glaringly bright that her skin turned sallow. It's a tough shade to wear, and I for one am not brave enough to try. I am a coward (appropriately, a condition which would cause a mouthy Old West barkeep, or a cantankerous trash-talking Black Knight whose four limbs I had recently hacked off with my mighty sword, to call me "yellow").

So I love that Kelly went for broke here with the color. Most people run yellow lights, but I think this actually would stop traffic.

The choice paid off spectacularly: Not only does she look tiny and tall, but it complements her skin tone; plus, the subtleties of her styling allow both her and the dress to shine without competing with, say, a giant necklace, or strong lipstick, or a bolero made out of Sprite cans. Brava, Kelly. It's kind of a big accomplishment that you're wearing radioactive Simpsons yellow and I'm still compelled to look at your face.

Wow, two "Well Played" pieces in a row this morning. I'm in such a kind mood today. It must be because it's not 100 degrees outside. YET.
