Upstaging the Bride.

Anna moans in utmost delight at someone telling her she is beautiful. 

Or so she thought.

"Thank you very much. You're too kind..." She takes a bold sip from her champagne glass and wants to continue her speech

But then she sees that eyes are not focused on her like few minutes before but instead are looking behind her.

She looks confused and turns fully around to see what's grabbing all their attentions.

She gasps.

"That bitch." She mutters under her breath

Behind her, Akeelah enters with her beautiful red gown and golden stiletto heels. 

The rosy red gown with a low neckline, revealing just moderate enough and yet borderline on sexy and modest. It is floor length and still falls past her heels and brushes the ground in a silent and comforting whoosh and and elegance.
