Unnoticed Beauties: Bellamy Young

Watch Scandal? Even if you don't watch the ABC drama, Bellamy Young and her Scandal cast mates are always in the press, especially due to their prominence on Twitter.  Scandal Thursdays include numerous trending topics from characters, to #TeamMellie to #TeamOlivia.
Both Kerry Washington, aka Olivia Pope, and Bellamy Young, aka First Lady of the United States Mellie Grant, prove to be dominant leading ladies.  Yet it is Young who is constantly left in the dust.  Where was her Emmy nod for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama?!  It is not easy to play a bitter and scornful and classy AND charming FLOTUS.  Yet Young does a phenomenal job, this was from Season Two, when Mellie decided to take matters into her own hands:


Let's look at Young's finest moments on the red carpet:

Here is Young at Elton John's Academy Awards Viewing Party.  I did some fishing around, and I believe her dress is a MacDuggal.  I am in love with her rich, luscious brown locks in a retro wavey-curley updo.  She radiates of bombshell, old school glam vibes.  Her make-up remains on point with a smoldering smokey eye in grey hues to bring out the blue in her eyes.  To balance this look out she kept the rest of her face makeup neutral with a peachy blush and lip color.

In a lovely hue of fuchsia, Young made an appearance at the Genesis Awards Benefit Gala in 2013. This dress is flattering her body shape, and skin tone.  The fuchsia lip color is complementary to the entire look, refraining from being to matchy-matchy.  Her messy side bun keeps the look playful yet sophisticated.  And who doesn't love a nude pump?!

This look is one of my favorites.  I have always been drawn to dresses with a graphic, bold, symmetric print.  This cap sleeve, knee-length dress is a flattering shape.  Also, Young's blown out hair is a gorgeous change up from her typical bouncy and full FLOTUS curls, and provides some sleekness to match the style of her dress.
