Chapter 460
The lights in the venue had gotten so dark that one could not even see one's own hand, with the only beam of light focused on the center of the stage.
Suddenly, Charlotte emerged from backstage, slowly making her way to the spotlight. As she stepped into the light, the entire venue lit up with a snap.
In the dazzling lights of the runway, all eyes were fixed on Charlotte.
Lucy widened her eyes and stared at Charlotte intently.
The design of Song of the Red Lotus was indeed impressive and worthy of the spotlight. Like its name, the dress was vibrant red, which made the wearer look much more radiant.
It was a floor-length dress, but subtle adjustments had been made to the hemline. Instead of busy patterns, the designer opted for diagonal lines to accentuate the wearer’s figure and legs.
To highlight the waist, Koven paired the dress with a tasseled pearl belt.
Under the spotlight, the meticulously crafted belt shimmered brilliantly.
If not for the sparkling diamonds and delicate pearls, it would be nearly impossible to see the belt.
The dress featured a clever teardrop-shaped neckline that perfectly highlighted the wearer’s necklace pendant, positioned just below the collarbone to accentuate the wearer’s figure.
While the dress was flattering and beautiful, Lucy knew that wearing such a dress came at a cost.
The cost was having the right body shape and height to pull off the dress, something that Charlotte, unfortunately, did not possess.
The lavish lifestyle in the palace had caused Charlotte’s face and belly to be quite plump.
In other words, her life in the palace revolved only around eating and sleeping. Combined with Charlotte’s lazy nature, she started to show signs of weight gain.
Her face was still somewhat defined, but her waist, which should be the narrowest part of her body, was now the most unsightly part.
To have a waist-cinching effect, the model’s waist should be somewhat slender as well. However, it seemed like all of Charlotte’s flesh was concentrated around her waist. Even under the slightest bit of pressure, a muffin top would appear. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
The intended purpose of the belt was to accentuate the waistline, but due to Charlotte's figure, it became an epic disaster.
Lucy briefly thought of possible ways to salvage the look. Sadly, she realized that if Charlotte were to remove the thin belt from her waist, the dress would look like maternity wear on her.
In the end, the dress was simply not suitable for Charlotte, especially given her height.
While the Song of the Red Lotus would reach just below the calves on an average model, on Charlotte, the hem was almost to her ankles. Paired with her mismatched high heels, it was a sight that would surely make anyone laugh.
Lucy was right. Not only was the audience struggling to contain their laughter, but the paparazzi were frantically capturing this hilarious moment as well.
Lucy understood why Charlotte would make such a mistake, but she wondered why someone like Koven, a renowned designer, would so easily agree to Charlotte’s request and allow his creation to be ruined like this.
