[trend] Mandarin Dresses
"We like to think of a cheongsam—the high-collar, form-fitting traditional-style dress these four celebrities are wearing—as the Asian counterpart to a T-shirt. Just like a T, cheongsams come in a zillion variations and are always in—more so than ever on this side of the globe. You can go va-voom, à la J. Lo's so-snug, slit-to-there number, or stay ladylike and modest, like Bebe Neuwirth. A cheongsam can be wildly decorative—see Lisa Bonet—or merely splashed with embroidery, like Sarah Clarke's. Satin's traditional, but not a must. What is key, is slink. Because even though the neckline is high, in a cheongsam, you're still showing it off. —Kimberly Bonnell" (instyle.com)
