On 90210, Jessica Stroup is anything but girly and the same goes for this red carpet look. The actress opted for a long gray cardigan, black mini skirt, and black patent booties. The sheer black tights are a refreshing departure from opaque legwear, and show of her gams in a subtle way. Love her look? Get it for yourself.
