America may be more reserved right now but in the UK the big celebrity evening fashion trend is short dresses. Everyone is wearing them on the red carpet there—even older celebs in their 30s like Gwyneth Paltrow.

Imogen Thomas dazzles the crowd walking the red carpet in 2009 in her easy night look with a basic updo and simply elegant dress. With the bold block color, her dress has matching stylish trim at the neckline and hemline.

The red above her head in the second picture isn't a halo; it's a neon sign. But in this outfit and with her lovely smile there's no doubt she's looking divine.
