Ashley Graham Slays In Sapphire At Miss USA

by Amy Sciarretto

OK, so this was pretty much a foregone conclusion! Ashley Graham's red carpet dress at the 2016 Miss USA pageant was absolutely stunning, since it was simple yet incredibly and jaw-dropingly sexy. Graham is serving as the event's Backstage Host and her gorgeous, pre-show gown will give you a case of the blues — the good kind, though. The shiny and floor-skimming cobalt dress by St. John boasted an empire waist, which allowed Graham to show off some serious cleavage. Hello, ladies! If you've got 'em, flaunt 'em, right?

Graham is easily one of the most famous models working today, especially after having graced the cover of the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. She turns heads every time she shows up to an event or appears in a photo spread, due to her real girl beauty. Tonight was no different. Her enviable curves were on full display and she brought it from top to toe.

Graham skipped the heavy accessories — no necklace and no gobs of bracelets. Instead, her face was framed by long, defined, and chocolatey waves, which were styled with a deep side part, too. She paired the dress with silvery, strappy heels.

Observe the frock below. Trust me. This is a look you will want to copy.

She rocked curves in cobalt and some side cleavage.

Since I am busty myself —I fall between a D and a DD — I love seeing a fellow top-heavy female show off "the girls" in such an elegant dress. That bodice, though. That is what gave this dress maje sex appeal. That high waist had to provide an extra layer of support, too. Then, there is the miracle of double-stick tape, which must be at play here. Graham so did not need a wardrobe malfunction.

So, yeah, A. Graham slayed in sapphire. She owned it.
