Lucy Liu is perhaps one of Hollywood’s hottest petite movie stars. Her style, especially playing Joan Watson of Elementary of CBS, has been a popular topic of fashion magazines, websites and bloggers. She has a wardrobe full of sleek silhouettes, lush fabrics and simple accessories. In addition, mixing high and low labels really created her unique style. Most of all, this is especially great news for petite ladies and we can certainly borrow her looks as they work so well on Lucy’s petite frame.
