Doesn’t she look hot in that embroidered tunic? Even from a bad angle, she still looks proportionate and sexy.

And you know what’s even better looking? That tunic! Doesn’t it make you want to think of the sun and the sea? Of jeweled flat sandals and wide-brimmed hats? Of Santorini and Capri?

With her statuesque 5ft 8 ½ (174 cm) frame, Alessandra Ambrosio towered over Selma Blair, who, at 5ft 2 ½ (158.8 cm), embraced a more petite yet equally stylish presence.

Alessandra’s tunic is from Emilio Pucci. I have to warn you, though, that it’s very, very, very expensive!

As you can see, unlike Alessandra’s tunic, which seems to be made of jersey, the one available for pre-order is made of voile. The sleeves are also slightly different, but the print is very similar. If you can afford it, feel free to spend away.

If you want another excellent way to style a tunic dress, see how Nicky Hilton styled a beaded and printed tunic dress in shades of black and grey.

What do you think of Nicky’s dress? The zigzag pattern reminds us of Missoni, while those beaded sleeves and neckline hint at bohemian elements. Contrary to what you may think, her zig zag tunic dress is from T-Bags and is priced at $275.
