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.

What do you think about Ellen Pompeo's SAG dress?
Love it!
