Nina Dobrev [1] may no longer be the star of The Vampire Diaries, but that doesn't mean she didn't take away a tip or two from one of her characters, Katherine. Her fanged alter ego rocked plenty of elegant embellished gowns in the show's flashbacks, and when Nina stepped out in a Marchesa ensemble for this year's Met Gala [2], she looked like she was back on set.

Perhaps it just means that Nina was born in the wrong time period or that she should wear poufy, statement-making dresses more often. Whatever the reason, check out Nina's look ahead. It's a stunner, for sure!
