Actress
Piper Perabo wears a black U-neck silk taffeta
gown with shoulder bow detail from
Oscar De La Renta Spring 2011. The shape is what I call
"Mermaid Light"--since it's fitted-but-flared-from-the-knee shape it suggests the Mermaid silhouette but yet since there's no seam at the knee, it really isn't. Black seems to be a popular color (or non-color?) at this year's Golden Globes and this
Oscar de la Renta on Piper is one of the best examples.
