[trend] Mandarin Dresses

"We like to think of a cheongsam—the high-collar, form-fitting traditional-style dress these four celebrities are wearing—as the Asian counterpart to a T-shirt. Just like a T, cheongsams come in a zillion variations and are always in—more so than ever on this side of the globe. You can go va-voom, à la J. Lo's so-snug, slit-to-there number, or stay ladylike and modest, like Bebe Neuwirth. A cheongsam can be wildly decorative—see Lisa Bonet—or merely splashed with embroidery, like Sarah Clarke's. Satin's traditional, but not a must. What is key, is slink. Because even though the neckline is high, in a cheongsam, you're still showing it off. —Kimberly Bonnell" (instyle.com)

if you were married you could be the only married member of the forum. then your coolness would skyrocket and everyone would want to be your friend. that would be cool.
