Hayden Panettiere gracefully showed off her pint-sized figure in a strapless number on August 10, when she hosted the Whaleman Foundation Benefit held at Beso Restaurant (owned by Eva Longoria-Parker) in Los Angeles.

The Outfit: A Herve Leger strapless bandage tube dress in an orange color.

Sassy Factor: The crisscross bodice of the dress makes this outfit standout.

Accessories: The addition of an oversized beige clutch and neutral color Christian Louboutin - Ronron patent leather pumps are perfect; they do not take away from the classy form fitting frock.

Get the look: If you cannot afford the one thousand dollar plus price tag of a Herve Leger bandage dress, which is currently all the rage for most A-list Hollywood starlets, give BCBG (Leger's sister designer house) a try instead. At BCBG Max Azria you'll discover a dazzling taffeta strapless jersey dress, or, a slightly more affordable satin cocktail dress. Even better, a short pleated satin number from Sutton Studio will do you good - currently on sale at Bloomingdale's.

Want to strut your stuff in similar neutral patent leather pumps as Hayden's? Give Nine West's Barbe pumps a whirl. They'll look just as good, minus the signature Louboutin red soles, of course!
