Tuesday, February 7th, 2012 Style Seen: Revenge’s Madeleine Stowe Brings Hamptons Class To VH1

Blame it on Last of the Mohicans, we’ve always thought of Madeleine Stowe as a strong, resilient woman, who could weather any storm and still look like a lady at the end of the day. Her role as scheming Hamptons housewife Victoria Grayson on Revenge is pretty much confirming that impression. So what’s she like in real life? Well, if her fashion choices for her appearance on Big Morning Buzz Live today is any indication, she’s practical but doesn’t mind a little pain if it means looking good. Scroll down and you’ll see what we mean.

When asked how she chose her Azzedine Alaia dress for the occasion she replied frankly, “I picked it because it’s easy to throw in a bag, and you don’t have to iron it! As simple as that.” But her shoes seem to have been a less simple choice. Those gorgeous Dolce & Gabbana heels are not comfortable, she admitted. “It’s because my toes are really, really wide.” She must use that pain to fuel those withering looks she gives her enemies, week after week.
