ACTRESS Emmy Rossum attended the opening of Broadway’s La Cage Aux Folles in a gorgeously pretty ruffled dress, Botkier sandals and a black crocodile clutch. She emphasised her tiny waist with a simple white belt, and stuck to peachy makeup and casual waves in her hair for minimum fuss.

Already a veteran of the big screen, the 23-year-old is slated to appear in US cable network Showtime’s new family drama Shameless, also starring William H. Macy. For those wondering, yes, this is an adaptation of the long-running British series of the same name, and will be set in Chicago for the American version. This will be Emmy’s first long-term role in a TV series, having already guest starred in episodes of Law & Order, As the World Turns and The Practice.
