Ashley Greene in Carolina Herrera | NBC’s “Today”

Ashley Greene kicked off her press tour in New York to promote “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” this morning with an interview on the “Today” show. The 25-year-old was sporting a much shorter mane than the cascading curls she was working on Monday at the Hollywood premiere of the final movie from the epic film series.

Brightening up the day in a vibrant fuchsia, Ashley wore a light Carolina Herrera knee-length sleeveless crepe dress ($1,990, neimanmarcus.com) with tucked draping along the waist and skirt. I think the vivid color is beautiful on Ashley, but while she looks so nice sitting in it—I don’t really like how it hangs from her body as she stands.

It could definitely benefit from being a few inches shorter.

With her shoulder length locks slightly curled at the bottom and a dusting of grey smoky shadow, Ashley accessorized this look with Jamie Wolf bezel set marquis leaf earrings with diamonds, a Yossi Harari pink sapphire slice ring on her left index finger and a pair of classic  nude Christian Louboutin “Pigalle” pointed toe pumps.

Perhaps if she had worn a playful shoe like the pair on the model, it would have been more flattering for her.

What did you think of Ashley’s morning style?
