The very stylish 50 year-old former Desperate Housewife looks stunning in a red dress at the National Corporate Theatre Fund 2013 Awards Gala in New York on Monday night. 

The star looked stunning in a bright red dress by Azadeh which showed off her incredible figure to perfection as she posed next to social networker, George Takei. 

At 50, it probably isn't always easy to always get it right, but the actress who played Creative Director turn Editor-In-Chief of Mode Magazine, Wilhelmina Vivian Slater in the American TV Series Ugly Betty, always manage to look knock out, proving that one can never stop looking great even without botox.

You Go Girl !!!

For me, Spring is finally here and this Spring everything from Floral to Panelled stripe, Checker print, Ombre print, Animal print and even Africa print happens to be everywhere. Even across the global fashion week for SS13, Collections from the likes of Gucci, Tom Ford, Burberry, Whithney Eve, David Korma, Ted Baker, Isabel Marant, Dries Van Noten, Hackett, Zegna and Diesel Black Gold included print or floral designs.

Ranging from print pants to skirts, trousers, dresses, top and blazers. Fortunately, with all this availability it can't be missed. Bear in mind that when a print skirt, pant or trouser has multiple colours (which is usually the case) it can be hard to understand the best way to wear your print outfit. Well, you just need to follow the tips below and you're on your way to making your own fashion statement. Celebrities have already taken this on board. Get inspiration from some of my favourite.
