BEST DRESSED

Sarah Paulson Dons the Ultimate Holiday Dress

The actress wore a shimmering sequined number on Late-Night With Seth Meyers.


All eyes were on the 42-year-old actress Sarah Paulson this year, who not only starred in one of 2016’s best television shows, American Crime Story: The People Vs. OJ Simpson, as the fierce lawyer Marcia Clark, but also alongside Mark Duplass in the heart-wrenching film, Blue Jay, which is about young lovers who cross paths later in life.

On Monday night, Paulson turned heads once again when she made a sparkly appearance on Late-Night With Seth Meyers to talk about her recent Golden Globes nomination. She nearly shattered America’s television screens, however, with a shimmering sequined Dolce & Gabbana number, which is a holiday season highlight thus far. Paulson showed us her red carpet prowess earlier this year while promoting her HBO show, and we can’t wait to see what she wears to awards season in 2017.
