Fashion Spotlight: Bethany Joy Lenz is Pretty in Pink

On Friday, December 7,  Bethany Joy Lenz helped fellow Hollywood starlet and good friend, Lucy Hale celebrate her December/January Nylon Magazine cover in style at an event presented by bebe at Andaz West Hollywood.

Coincidentally enough, our dazzling diva slipped into a body hugging calypso coral peplum studded number by bebe. This embellished bebe dress, which is the perfect blend of glam and rocker chic, has a soft stretch silhouette that accentuates Joy's body perfectly. I'm all about the super feminine peplum style this season - since it gives the illusion of an hourglass figure by slimming down the waist.

To maximize the look, Joy paired this slinky number with metallic pumps by Dolce Vita and a teal clutch.

Overall, I love how Joy's wardrobe has become more sophisticated. The evolution from just a few years ago is incredible. Nevertheless, despite the risks she's taken in her wardrobe choices, she's been playing it pretty safe with her makeup. I love the fresh face look, but for an evening cocktail party I'd like to see her experiment with different colors and techniques to keep things interesting. Same goes with her hair - although I adore the effortless styles I'm still dying to see Joy switch it up with a more polished and structured look on the red carpet.

The Verdict: ★ ★ ★ ★

Joy's set the bar high this year. Can't wait to see her looks in 2013!
