You Are about 2 YEARS LATE Misha Barton

Sorry for the delay in posting, moving sure takes a lot of your time.  However, I am back up and running as they say, so for my next victim, I mean celebrity...Its Misha Barton.  Yes, some of you may remember her from 'The OC' and I think she was on a cancelled show about models too.  But I don't recall her doing anything currently.  But none the less, she is in Australia and trying to get her face out there.

Hat at Melbourne Cup

However not sure if showing your face under these hats are the way to go.  I found the first one of her attending the Melbourne Cup.  Kinda reminds me of one of those coffee cup home decor paintings with the steam rising up.  Not sure why she would want to pair that with a Indian serape, but to each is own. 

Hat at YRC Luncheon

And then the next one is at the VRC Oaks Club luncheon, also in Melbourne.  And apparently a hat is required there too.  The flower looks like something I have from a beach potpourri set I have in my bathroom, sewn onto a Japanese hat.  The saving grace is at least the dress is cuter than the first one and a bit more appropriate for a luncheon.  But still, who is really looking at the dress?

Hmmm, how to save the outfits???

Well first off...you could just take off the hats.  I am all for headwear, but make them reflect the outfits you are wearing.  The one for the YRC affair would be fine without the white paper mache looking flower.  And the other, well I think she is about 2 years too late for Prince William and Kate's wedding.  These hats would fit in nicely there.

Not to harp on Misha, not sure she has a fashion team standing by to help her out.  But unless going to a royal wedding or costume party, I would BURN both these hats.  The rest of the outfits are not awful, but again with such drastic hats, who will even notice them?

Brooklyn wont SINK the Battleship...Yet!

I am personally very excited to see the movie 'Battleship' due out May 18th. (Hello Taylor Kitsch)  And the publicity tour seems to have set sail pretty furiously, as I keep seeing all the stars out on the red carpet.  And while most of model Brooklyn Deckers (I know she is an "Actress" now) outfits have been very good, we have a small miss here at the Sidney Australia premiere.

Brooklyn Decker in J Mendel

The tuxedo inspired J Mendel dress is actually very nice, if you pretend not to see the gold sleeves.  You remember when you were a kid and your friend would put their hands behind their backs and you use your arms to converse for them.  You would do all kinds of funny things, while they are trying to hold a conversation.  Anyways, it looks like she has her arms behind her back and its someone else arms standing in for her.  Am I wrong?  The sleeves just don't go with the dress.  And I cannot see any shoes, so sadly I cannot comment on those. At first glance, I thought she threw on a gold jacket, but then I realized, nope that was done on purpose. 

LeAnn Rimes & Nicole Kidman

And while I was looking for a picture of this dress, I found something even MORE amazing.  A few posts back I commented on a dress LeAnn Rimes wore to the Academy of Country Music Awards.  A dress similar to one Nicole Kidman had already worn.  Here is reminder to the right.  Well seems like Brooklyn Deckers stylists were a fan as well, only she wore it in black.  This Stella McCartney dress didn't get too much love from me a few weeks ago, but I think it is a little bit better on the model-turned-actress, than the country singer-turned actress. The cutouts are a bit different and its not a one shoulder dress, but I still think we could do without!

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Since I already discussed the Stella dress, we will leave that one alone.  As for the J Mendel dress, lets rip off the sleeves and then there should be a vast improvement.

Overall, its not a terrible ding in the 'Battleship' armor for Brooklyn.  We are all allowed a few bad clothing choices (I just cleaned out my closest-I can attest to that.)  So no need to BURN the dress, just the sleeves...might be pretty.  And the stylists, from as far as I can tell, have done right by you, so need to FIRE.

But what do you guys think?  Lots of dresses, so little time to critique!
