Jessica Alba In Armani Prive: Love It Or Leave It? (PHOTOS, POLL)

Jessica Alba is always surprising us. When we saw her last, she was wearing a buttoned-up frock by Tory Burch with a prim white collar and long sleeves (albeit covered in sequins).

But yesterday Alba had it both ways: conservative with a bit of sex appeal, too. At the opening of the Armani Hotel Milano, Alba wore Armani, of course, from the designer's Fall 2011 couture collection, although we can't determine exactly which runway look it is.

Alba appears to have customized her look (which is the point of haute couture, after all), pairing one of Armani's deeply cut black tops with a skinny black skirt trimmed with a floral print.

When we first glanced at the actress' ensemble, we scoffed -- "Hello, side boob!" But the look, daring yet conservative, is totally growing on us.

Check it out in the slideshow below (hit "Fullscreen" for big photos!) and tell us what you think!

Here's the deal.....and this is the absolute truth (like it or not).....you could throw a potato sack around Jessica Alba and she would make it look amazing . So to the media who asks...."
who is she wearing "......I say "does it matter" ? The focus will always be on Jessica.....not what (or excuse me) " WHO " she's wearing :)

It's definitely different looking, but I think I like it. I really like her shoes!

Alba is beautiful but the dress is too long and...the shoes look like they don't match; like they were just put together without measuring

Don't really care for the dress, but then, Jessica could wear a burlap bag and I would still love her!

After reading all these comments, It puzzles me that so few people have anything nice to say. Only unhappy people downgrade beautiful, successful people.............somehow, it makes them feel in comparison, they're better.....................DotBaby890

The dress is plain ugly, but the shoes are uniquely hideous.

Ok Jessica, why don't you just join the Occupy Wall Street movements and become sexy at doing something better for humanity than wearing those ridiculous, expensive clothes. You are beautiful, and maybe sexy but empty.

umm, what?? Why would you call her empty? She is beautiful and sexy and doesn't have to join some protest if she doesn't want to...

Empty is someone who despite having all the means, never does anything good for his/her fellow men/women. But she is not the only one, most of the Hollywood celebrities are just like her, they are probably okay to portray fictional characters but other than showing off their clothes and fancy lifestyles, are really bad at portraying in real life. Who ever says that these "celebrities" are really interesting?

She looks great in anything or nothing, but i dont understand these designers. They must be whacked out on something.
