Chrissy Teigen and Her Mom Prove This Cocktail Dress Is Perfect for Every Age
Looking for a cocktail dress that will stand the test of time? Well, I wish we could take credit for the one below, but it's thanks to Chrissy Teigen and her adorable mother that the hunt for the perfect cocktail dress for every age is now over. Chrissy recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon wearing a 16Arlington feather-trimmed midi dress. It wasn't too long after that Chrissy's mom, Vilailuck Teigen, pulled a fast one on her and copped the look.
Vilailuck is hilarious on social media, just like her daughter, but what she posted this time took the trolling-type humor to another level. Chrissy's mom posted a side-by-side photo of her wearing the dress Chrissy had just worn on Fallon and captioned it "So who wore better?" Chrissy quickly replied with "oh my god you dork." While some might have seen this post and laughed, we saw it and thought, wow, this cocktail dress is truly ageless. Thanks to the midi length, the covered sleeves, and just the right amount of "extra" thanks to the feathers, this frock would look good on a woman of any age and in any season. So I guess the perfect cocktail dress (that's not an LBD) does exist thanks to the Teigen women.
Ahead, see the dress on both Chrissy and her mother, and shop it for yourself.
