Nicole Miller

America Ferrera provided irrefutable evidence that a) the right dress can awe on its own, and b) curves are brilliant. She wore a red Nicole Miller dress to the premiere of Chicago in London, forgoing big accessories (save for a sexy pair of red peep-toe platforms) in favor of highlighting her gorgeous curves. Obviously, we went straight to the
Nicole Miller online shop to see if we could get the same dress as it's ideal for upcoming holiday parties. We found similar options that are just as flattering; here's what we recommend:

OK, now for the best part! Our new PopSugar Shop has an exclusive Nicole Miller deal happening until tomorrow, so if you're serious about getting America's look, you can do it for less.

If you're feeling that there's something extra femme about these celebs' dresses, you're picking up on the pretty peplum. Just that little ruffled detail lends a whole lot of feminine appeal on Dree Hemingway, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Rachelle LeFevre's looks. We love that there's something retro yet modern about the detail. It's a way to add a visual interest and to define a waistline; plus, in these festive colors, it's perfect for holiday dressing.
