Beautiful actress Minka Kelly is probably best known for her role as Lyla Garrity on the television show Friday Night Light and for her fling with musician John Mayer. Interestingly, she is also the only child of former Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay. If you don't know, now you know! But back to her style.

Here Minka strolls the red carpet at the NBC Universal 2008 Press Tour All-Star Party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on July 20 in an absolutely stunning Missoni maxi dress. We love how Minka lets the nude number speak for itself and keeps her hair and jewelry simple and sophisticated. Quite possibly one of our summertime favorites thus far.
