Actress, Jessica Alba wore a beautiful pink floral Nettie Rosenstein cocktail dress Circa 1950’s to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
I think Jessica could wear just about anything and look totally fabulous - the fact that she chose this Rosenstein frock is very interesting. In a time where the heavy hitters (Vuitton, Marchesa, Chanel, Oscar) are throwing themselves at stars like Jessica she chose the sweet, cotton candy pink chiffon dress. Actually, I believe stylist Rachel Zoe found it for her.... but ultimately, it was her choice. Wasn't it?
Nettie Rosenstein (1890-1980) was an acclaimed Jewish-American fashion designer, based in New York between c.1913 and 1975. She was particularly known for her lbd's.... little black dresses. (thank you Wikepedia)
