A 'Cutout' Above the Rest? Not this Time.

I know Mena Suvari's career has been slow since the mid-2000's, when the American Pie movies took a break...as did her fame.  (I am not trying to be mean, it is what happened-Google it!)  And now it looks like she has to revert to drastic methods to scare up some publicity.  I.E., this outfit she wore to an H&M affair in New York.

This black cutout bra on a nude long sleeve top, navy skirt and silver gum wrapper purse was what she thought looked good I guess.  I suppose the top might be from one of H&M's lines, which might be cute for a young 20-something with the right skirt, but neither the skirt nor Mena were able to pull this off.  It kind of reminds me of those dress up doll games you played when you were kids (now online) and just threw on random pieces of clothing, because that was how you dressed like as a kid. (See below for example.) You didn't necessarily care what matched or made your legs look longer, or waist look slimmer.   And apparently Mena didn't care about that either-as she chose this lovely assemble.


Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Without Photoshop?  I think she needs to pick the style she was to going for, sex or sophisticated, I don't think she could do both. If her heart was set on the top, at least go with it and wear a cute black mini skirt or even pants.  Then at least you are all in the same tones.  No idea why she felt a flowing navy skirt would suit the bill.  But it was just a mess.  And the clutch, was way too large for her petite form.  I am pretty sure she ran into a store and said, "What is on sale?"

Mena, oh Mena, I am not doing this to be mean, but this is pretty bad.  Most of the pieces themselves aren't that bad.  But I think you are too old to be wearing a bra cutout top to get attention, so BURN that just on principle.  And if you are going to try to make another shot at fame, hire a stylist.  Please, do not dress yourself anymore.  Your privileges are hereby revoked until further notice!
