Christina Ricci flashed her ink in a slinky backless Versace gown at the Whitney Museum of American Art event this week.
Ricci's simple lion tattoo on her shoulder and more elaborate lower back sweet pea bouquet seemed either to accessorize or distract from the stunning dress.
The gown itself was a black satin wonder. It had gorgeous matte fabric details on the front, cut-out sides and a flowing floor-length train.
However, as Ricci turned her back, her tattoos seemed to divert one's attention.
