Christina Ricci: Backless dress and tattooed?

Written by Daniel P Dykes.

When discussing alternatives to cleavage as a fashion accessory in the forums, many a fashioner hit upon the backless fashion trend as the next best option. Pert, perfect chests not required; and it can have a definite element of elegance.

What then of Christina Ricci? Backless dress, but a tattooed back?

Sadly, while I can’t see any issue with Ricci’s shoulder tattoo, the much darker tattoo on her lower back distracts too much from the overall effect and leaves the look distinctly cheaper.

Christina Ricci was attending the Whitney Museum of American Art’s gala on 20 October. You can see more pictures of her at the event by clicking the thumbnails below.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
