Ellen Pompeo (Dr. Meredith Grey on TV hit "Grey's Anatomy") is super-skinny in real life, but she showed up on the SAG red carpet looking full-blown in a voluminous Lanvin gown.(see the full-size photo of Ellen Pompeo in this dress.)

Let this be a lesson to anyone under six feet tall or over 110 pounds: the new volume might seem like a great idea and even look fresh on the runway, but if rail-thin Ellen Pompeo looks dumpy, mere mortals don't stand a chance.

Ellen looked better back in 2005 before she became overly styled with the severe hair (what's that about?) and dresses that compete with, rather than flatter, her frail figure.
