Okay, maybe not violet, but it made for a great article title.

Another American Violet star, Alfre Woodard, stepped out for the movie’s premiere last night in Hollywood.

I love her because she totally embraces her age. Unlike most other 56-year-olds in Hollywood, Alfre has no problem putting on a simple dress and flats for a movie premiere – nothing’s sucked out, or tucked in, or lifted, or stretched, or whateverthehellelse all these women are doing to make them look like little walking pieces of luggage. Love it! She’s probably not even wearing Spanx. But if she is, that’s okay, too.

What do you think of Alfre’s ensemble?
