You already got a look at the Zang Toi dress I wore to Vanity Fair’s Oscar party<\/a> in Los Angeles on Sunday. Now you can look some more!<\/p>\n

This Zang Toi gown was in my first post on high\/low hemlines, aka “mullet” dresses<\/a>. I had been coveting it ever since Zang showed it on his runway in February 2010.<\/p>\n

Last fall, I finally decided that I had to have it.\u00a0 Zang was happy to do it for me, though it was a full year after the dress’s official season. That’s a nice thing about designers like Zang — and me<\/a> and Stacy Lomman<\/a> — who do a lot of custom work. It’s never too late. This isn’t even the first time I got a dress from Zang after thinking about it for a year<\/a>. Also, as you can see, Zang changed his design for me. Instead of covering the mini skirt with beaded flowers, as he did on the runway sample, Zang scattered a few flowers around the waist. I would have loved the original look but all that hand-beading was going to break my budget so Zang came up with an alternative. What service! Anyway, I felt fabulous in my mullet, and I liked that my hair was half up and half down to match.<\/p>\n

Look, Angelina Jolie! I have legs too!<\/p><\/div>\n

I got dressed while watching the Oscar ceremony and, like many people, I was fascinated by Angelina Jolie’s leg display<\/a>.<\/p>\n
