OK, this was going to be hard for the poor girl. It would have been really easy to go wrong. She did just fine, even those stringy things around her neck look pretty good. She could have worn jeans. Who cares about the frock!...I just want to hear her talk (or maybe Diablo Cody write for her mouth). The freshest wordage in a long time.

Cute-as-a-button dress for cute-as-a-button new star. Raising her game from her usual tomboy garb, accented with sophisticated-but-youthful hairstyle. Elegant jewelry gives a contemporary look, with a hint of the '20s. In sum, a well-thought-through package.
