Stylish stars are giving the cold shoulder in dresses with edgy cutouts."I think it's a nice way to show some skin without being overt and aggressive," says Mike & Chris designer Mike Gonzalez. Actress Emma Stone donned his design for a recent TRL appearance. "I was playing with the idea of the secretary dresses worn in the '70's and '80's," says Gonzalez. "It's definitely a blend of masculine and feminine." Stone added toughness to the pleated frock with chunky gladiator sandals and a studded belt.
