Amanda Bynes in Marchessa at SAGs
Amanda Bynes have definitely put on a few pounds since starring in Hairspray but she disguised it perfectly with a full length strapless Marchessa gown at last night's Screen Actors Guild.
Cate Blanchett and Angelina Jolie also used the new strapless gown trend to cover up their tell-tale baby bumps.
Amanda Bynes lost a significant amount of weight last year, sparking fears she had developed an unhealthy diet regime.
But she explained it was actually due to an illness: "I came back from Lovewrecked and started feeling really tired and I couldn't keep weight on. It turns out I had mononucleosis."
"It's unrealistic to be that thin. The only girls who are (that thin) have admitted to using drugs or having an eating disorder. I'm so against it. People should strive to be happy with who they are and not be obsessed with how they look."
Amanda's face definitely showed signed of weight gain last night, suggesting you is over the illness. It's nice to finally see a young actress who realises there are more important things than being size zero.
Strapless maxi downs are fab for covering up lumps and bumps while still showing off a bit of flesh on the shoulders. However shorter people can risk looking frumpy in too much long flowing material. If your as bit on the small side try a dress which is shorter at the front or has a slit to show some leg.
