Will and Grace star Debra Messing wasn't looking her best today as she strolled downtown in NYC. But she couldn't help smiling when she was spotted by a cheeky construction worker who threw her a compliment and said he was her biggest fan. Sweet!

With the color purple symbolizing royalty, dominance, spirituality and mystery, its no wonder we spotted so many celebs wearing it lately.  As you can see above, purple dresses come in all styles and shades as worn by Emmy Rossum, Mariah Carey and Kristen Bell.  For more Hollywood hotties rocking the new it-color, just click on the pictures below.

We love her, but there's something not quite right about the look Will and Grace star Debra Messing's showing off here. Is it that she's a bit too old for the Sienna Miller toga and sandals style?
