Actress Yari De Leon arrived at Fashion Designer, Sue Wong's "My Fair Lady" fashion event dressed in a blush, feathered Sue Wong original. Yari's look was accented by a Mary Frances handbag and earrings by Alisa Michelle.
She appears as a sultry dancer who seduces Ryan Phillippe with unexpected consequences in Matthew McConaughey's The Lincoln Lawyer which opened this weekend.

#Lincoln Lawyer - A perfect escape from the rain
Have you seen it? "A slam-bang twister of a legal thriller!" Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
It's a lot of fun to watch for males and females alike! My client, Yari De Leon, plays a sultry dancer who seduces Ryan Phillippe with unexpected consequences which Matthew McConaughey must unravel. Love these sexy hot guys!:) And guys will love Yari and Margarita!March 19, 2011
#Rolling Stone Lounge just opened two weeks ago in Hollywood & Highland complex
Very nice lower lounge for private parties and upstairs dining area showcases Rolling Stone covers.
Chef Chris Ennis has created a raw, organic, sustainable menu which is a very fresh, modern American style of tapas which everyone can share. This is the location of Gallery LA's LA Fashion Week after-party and I've already seen some of the male models floating around. Wonder if my favorite is here?:)Dina Bar-El colorful, clean lines, sophisticated gowns #LA Fashion Week
Dina Bar-El was sitting in front of me with Won G and I loved her designs. Beautiful, sophisticated jewel tone gowns many with crystal adornment which drew applause from the audience they were so beautiful.
There were many other designers who showcased their work which I'll showcase via video because I loved so many and it was hard to capture everything in still photos.
Kudos to Producer, Mikey Kaufman, for pulling off an event that embodies the best of LA Fashion Week. This reminds me of what it used to be like during the Mercedes Benz LA Fashion Week back in the day. I used to miss them, now I don't have to.:)
Civil Society menswear
I wish I was working with, or dating someone I could have wear his clothes.:)

@its_Alejandra_G amazing shoe collection launches in July
Yari De Leon wore their counter-part, Report Signature at an Oscar red carpet event.
AlejandraG's collection are amazing too and coming out at Diavolina on Robertson and Third in July. A woman wearing her thigh-high black leather boots says they're even comfortable too! Bonus!:)@Tashlimited - shoes for the girls on the go
I could have used these foldable flats yesterday. Perfect after wearing heels. Buy them here: www.tashlimited.com
Hard soled and a huge variety of styles and colors. Models love wearing them after a show.March 18, 2011

Everything Yari is wearing are like pieces of art. The attention to detail, elaborate beading, feathers and pearls are even more spectacular in person.
Yari is inside Sue Wong's living room and it's as lavishly decorated as she designs. One of my favorite designers and now Yari's too. I think Mary Frances is both our favorites now.:) The Lincoln Lawyer launched today at theaters nation-wide. Groupon has tickets on sale. Please go see Yari in action opposite Ryan Phillippe and see why everyone is talking about her as one to watch.Yari De Leon between 2 models at Sue Wong's garden event #LA Fashion Week
