Was it the world-premiere of the highly anticipated, new Audi A8 car, that inspired Christina Ricci to really rev up her look for the red carpet?

Just last night in Miami, Ricci wore a stunning maroon dress that could have made everyone forget about the other important star there: the car.

And when she turned around to walk the red carpet, the back of the dress –and those heels!— left her last designer look (a perfectly acceptable but not as flattering striped Alexander McQueen dress), from a few weeks ago, in the dust.
