Model and actress Garcelle Beauvais wore a floor length gown during the Heart Truth event to promote women's heart health. The neckline of this strapless dress works especially well on her 5'9" frame because one side angles upward, drawing attention toward her face. Strapless dresses can be difficult for tall women to pull off because the neckline is often too low. Look for options like this one that give the impression of having a higher neckline.
