This look is absolute perfection! Actress Cara Santana arrived at the Hervé Léger by Max Azria show in the designer’s sun-printed studded creation. This girl may not get enough press apart from news about her and fiancé Jesse Metcalfe, but she definitely deserves solo time under the spotlight for pulling off a flawless look. In fact, Cara has been landing herself consistently on various best-dressed lists for the Hervé Léger by Max Azria show, and we can definitely see why.
Cara paired her gorgeous printed dress with a pair of classic Christian Louboutin Pigalles and a gold clutch. With the print and studding making her dress look very busy, it was a good move to have her hair neatly pulled back from her face, sweeping it into a clean updo. Those bold eyebrows and lips also tell of her refusal to let her Hervé Léger dress hog all the spotlight.

The dress is mostly made of rayon, which can imitate the feel of wool, silk, linen, or cotton. We’re not exactly sure how the dress feels, but we trust the genius of Max Azria that the fabric is soft and breathable enough since it fits pretty snuggly. The sun motif adorned with gold studs gives the dress enough edge as well as independence — accessories need not come to play with a creation as busy as this one.
