It was a hot day on Crescent drive in Beverly Hills. My buddy Charley and I were sweating in the sun in the noon hours.

Amidst all the hype for her new television show, "Kath and Kim," Selma Blair came straight off a plane from London to celebrate her cover for Niche Media's LA Confidential Summer at the Crescent Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Selma is dressed in a design by Nathan Jenden and Christian Louboutin shoes. The dress is simple, but has slits and cuts in all the right places, showing just enough to raise a conservative cocktail dress to the level of sexy.

I noticed the bottom cuts first, which have white lace underneath. Jenden must take a lot of his creativity as the Creative Director for Diane von Furstenberg and drop them into his latest designs.
