It’s no secret that Nina Dobrev has a body to die for. The Bulgarian beauty’s waistline is insanely tiny — this we discovered after seeing the actress wear a figure-hugging gown to the Emmy Awards in 2010.
Speaking of her knockout body, Nina was spotted flaunting her legs while out and about in New York recently. She wore a micro-mini jumper dress and emphasized her gams by capping off the piece with pointy ankle-strap flats.

We weren’t so sold on the combination, but we liked how she dressed up the attire with a khaki trench and a red crossbody bag detailed with a scarf. The extras kept her looking polished and put together.

Well, what’s the verdict? Do you think a scarf-detailed red purse and a trench saved Nina’s oddly-mixed ensemble?
Yes, most definitely!
Don’t get us wrong, we don’t find the getup ugly, but we do think a different pair of shoes, say, classic white flats or even sneakers, would have been the better choice. Would you agree?
Nonetheless, a wrong decision made on the footwear certainly didn’t stop Nina from trying to correct the “problem.” With a few hacks here and there — namely, topping the outfit with a structured coat and punctuating the look with a scarf-detailed red purse — she could refine the attire and keep it surprisingly elegant.
Just goes to show how your choice of extras can make a huge difference, right? Do you think you can wear Nina’s outfit and work it?
We like how she used a black-and-white scarf to keep the poppy red purse fancy. The achromatic hues complemented the color so well. Together, they also spiced up a very neutral and classic jacket.
