Cummerbunds never looked so appealing. And women all over the world will be tearing up their boyfriends's tuxedos just to imitate this female-take on men's formal wear as exhibited by Hollywood's own Amanda Bynes and Vanessa Minnillo this past week. But before you whip out the scissors ladies, first make sure you ask, "Who was she wearing?" (then find a knockoff of the same dress...hey, I'm just sayin).

On the east coast, Vanessa Minnillo got all gussied up in a Chantilly lace tuxedo front gown by Monique Lhuillier for the "Hot Pink Party" in New York Tuesday, hosted by the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

On the west, Amanda Bynes took a "short cut" with a black satin backless (use your imagination) tuxedo minidress by Donna Baxter for Elsie Katz Couture, complete with a satin face organza bib, cummerbund and pearl buttons.

(Is that a tie? Extra points.) It was just enough formal for a Los Angeles evening out as she attended Movieline Hollywood Life's Young Hollywood Awards.

Well, You know what they say: You can take the man out the tux, but you can't take the tux away from the woman who probably bought it for the man anyway....

Or something.
