Scarlett Johansson's not the Devil in Prada

With the movie Avengers coming out soon as one of the "Summer Blockbusters" I am expecting to see more than the average amount of movie premieres.  And we know what that means, more movie premiere outfits. The mostly male cast was all suited up at the last event, so they seemed to fly by unharmed (you know because Iron Man can fly), but Scarlett Johansson was not so lucky. 

At the London premiere, she wore a peplum dress, which has become especially trendy in 2012.  For those of you out there that don't know, per Wikipedia:

Peplum originates in the Greek word for 'tunic' and may refer to one of the following:

• A genre of Italian films also known as 'Sword and Sandal'
• Peplos, a kind of women's garment in ancient Greece
• Veil
• Short overskirt that is usually attached to a fitted jacket, blouse or dress

And although this peplum is a little more subdued than some of the others I have seen thus far on the red carpet, the patterns on Scarlett's dress make up for it.  I know mixing patterns is okay and in many cases required.  But one pattern has to blend into what we call a neutral.  Without it, it kinda of looks like this mish-mash of a dress you see above.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

If the patterns attempting to mix weren't enough, she went ahead and added the also severely popular braided updo, adding yet a 3rd pattern.  And while I can appreciate her trying to tie her red heels into her outfit, they blend into the red carpet so much, she seems to missing her feet!  Change the shoes, step 1.  Step 2, I would of gone without the red (flowers?) on top...but designers can be designers. 

Scarlett, while your style has improved as you have gotten older and more famous, this was a huge miss.  And while it doesn't deter me from wanted to go see the movie, it makes me want to check out your wardrobe less.  So its too soon to say whether you need to FIRE your stylists, but you should certainly BURN this dress.  Sorry Prada, but even the devil wouldn't wear you!!!
