Sheer Dresses, Bad Shoes and Rainboots at Breaking Dawn Premiere

Kristen Stewart
Well  it is November 14th and that only means one thing, come Thursday night at Midnight, the "Twilighters" will be out full force, as Breaking Dawn Part 2 comes out.  And I would like to say if Part one and the outfits at the premiere are any indication of how the next part will be...I will be taking my time to rush to the theater.  Not only did the first part make me never want to ever have a vampire baby (I know right?), but it left me not as excited for part 2 of what was my favorite book in the series. Yes, I read them. No I am not ashamed.  But trying to give it a chance, I took a whirl around the premiere circuit of photos and found some awful examples of what not to do when you are an actress...or a female dressing for the red carpet.

Lets start with the star, Kristen Stewart.  Although I was shocked to see her out of her standard tight black jeans and black leather jacket...ummm, I think this dress might be a little too sheer.  She looks like an anatomically correct Barbie when you take her clothes off.   I appreciate the attempt, but millions and millions of people are going to see this.  I personally would of not gone this direction, it leaves a little too little for the imagination.

Elle Fanning


Then we move on to Dakota Fannings, Lil sister Elle.  While Elle is not in the movie, Dakota is. And I would be mad if my Lil sister stole attention from me at my own premiere.  However, it was not not in a good way.  It looks like her dress skirt was too long and she decided just to wrap it around her waist.  And the shoes?  These may be the worst shoes I have ever Ever EVER seen. I am assuming she tried for a Japanese theme, but she failed. Miserably.  A sumo outfit may have come off better than this pink number.

Alexandra Patsavas
And finally, Alexandra Patsavas.  Yeah I don't know who she is either.  She is a music supervisor who worked on the film.  So not an actress, but still should be used to dressing for premieres...or to go out in public.  And while I admire her attempt at color, not sure yellow looking rain boots are the way to go.  Especially in what is one of the most anticipated red carpets of the year.  But alas, this is what she decided to go with.

Hmmm, how to save the outfits?

I can explain away a lot, but you gotta think that if you are planning to attend such a big premiere, you would dress accordingly.  I think Kristen just made a bad choice.  Perhaps her and her people wanted to make a statement, but not sure this is the right one.  I do like that she dressed up, so she did get a few points.  But Elle and Alexandra...there are no words.  If a picture tells a thousand words, then these pictures are all curse words!
 
Elle and Alexandra need to BURN their entire outfits and go home.  And Kristen, while I don't think the dress was great, it could be better with a longer slip skirt.  So just try to do better, but again, you are out of jeans!

When Animal Print Tops go Bad...and WRONG!!!

Its hard to mess up a black pencil skirt, but at the 2012 Hollywood Foreign Press Association Luncheon in Beverly Hills, Jennifer Lawrence did just that. 

As you can see by my clearly marked picture, the bottom half is very adult, professional and appropriate for the"A-Lister" to be wearing.  And then we go from good to bad, with the snake print low cut top.  Its almost like she lost her jacket on the way to event and this is what was left.  She is busting, no pun intended, out of the top. Pair that with the messy hair style, she looks like she had a little afternoon fun.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

Well as I have clarified, the bottom half is good.  I think the top might be fine, but the bust area is a bit too small.  Maybe go up a size in the Narciso Rodriquez design and alter the waistline of the top, as a bigger size will be too big.  And if all else fails, throw that jacket back over it.  Or a sweater would of been an improvement.  The hair can go up and throw on a bracelet with a pop of color and she is golden.

Jennifer is poised to be the next Kristen Stewart (whether she likes it or not), tied to the Hunger Games Trilogy for a long time as Kristen is with Twilight.  But what she does do much better than Kristen is dress, so I am going to let this one slide as a momentary lack of judgement by her and her team.  BURN this top up and I wont compare you to Ms. Stewart for the foreseeable future!

MTV Awards-Disappointing and Fashionably Hard to WATCH

I love Love LOVE movies and I used to really look forward to the MTV Movie Awards.  I admit, I am not an Oscar nominated film fan, generally the movies I love are more of the Razzie nominated types.  So MTV awards were always a chance to see my favorite movies win some type of award, you know like...best kiss or for example.  (Shout out to Ryan and Rachel in the Notebook.)

But this year I not only found myself disappointed with the show, but also with the fashion. I haven't seen Hunger Games, so I felt really old watching it.  And not even the movies biggest stars were present.  With the exception of a few, its lacked its usual star power.  And host Russell Brands jokes left more crickets than giggles. Him shouting "Twilight" and "Hunger Games" after every bad joke grew tiresome.  (And I am pretty sure he did that last year too.)  Relative to fashion, it would be easier to say who looked good, than who looked bad.  So without further delay, here are my picks for worst dressed:

From Left to Right: Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Hough, Brooke Hogan, Emma Watson and Russell Brand
Starting from the left, I think Elizabeth Banks is angry she wasn't cast as Catwoman in the newest Batman or maybe trying out for a Spiderman villain.  And I thought Julianne Hough's was bad, until I saw Brooke Hogans.  Are they trying out to be a female tag team in the WWE?  And Emma Watson, tennis anyone?  Looks like something I have seen the Williams sisters wear during a match.  And Russell Brand...a fur belt?  Really??
Center: Kristen Stewart
And Kristen Stewart, you walk the entire red carpet in high heels, but you win the award for best movie and you jump onstage in your Chucks?  Worn and dirty ones at that. You were sitting most of the show, your feet were that tired?

Hmmm, how to save the outfits?

I am willing to give most of them the benefit of the doubt on these outfits.  As they wanted to all seem young and hip, maybe going a bit over the top.  And then others are just strange (that would be you Russell.)  How to save?  They all had okay shoes? 

I would say most of these outfits should BURN, leave the shoes.  Kristen can throw her shoes in with the burning clothes, buy a new pair girlfriend.  And I am pretty sure Russell doesn't have a stylists, but the others should threaten theirs.  They don't need to FIRE today, but again, they should be warned.

Comments? Twilight? Hunger Games?

Holes are not Acceptable for Bella or K Stew

I have left Kristen Stewart alone since I realize she doesn't care if she has style or not.  And that is fine, its part of her persona.  And we are expected to accept that.  I am even pleasantly surprised when she wears something amazing...generally saved for Twilight Premieres.  However, this is just lazy.

For those of you who don't know, she is a 22-year-old actress who stars as Bella in the 'Twilight Movies', Snow White in the New Snow White movie and ...dates Robert Pattinson.  She is constantly followed and asked questions, more about her beau than her career, but all press is good press, right?

I understand the stress of the paparazzi is not the most welcoming experience, even at the Cannes Film Festival.  And so relaxing during a flight could be a nice change and most people choose comfort on a plane.   And if I haven't mentioned before (which I did) she does not care what people think of her.  She will wear what she wants, date who she wants and say what she wants.  Jeans and a v-neck tee might not get much notice from me..BUT THE HOLES IN HER SHIRT DID!!!

I looked it up, per Forbes, in the last year (May 2011-Current) she made $34 million.  Surely she could afford a shirt that the moths didn't get to.  Check it for yourself: http://www.forbes.com/profile/kristen-stewart/

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

I am not going to begin to try and explain Kristen Stewarts style, or lack there of in my opinion.  But I think we can all agree, a shirt with holes is not acceptable.  If this was Beyonce, J Lo or any other celebrity (male or female), they wouldn't get a free pass.  Sorry Bella!

Obviously with a shirt this destroyed, time to BURN.  And maybe hire a stylist or two or nine, to take you shopping.  I would send you a few dollars for some v-necks (I liked J Crews) but you make WAY more than me.  Put in some effort woman...you can do it.  No one will think worse of you at all, you might even gain some more fans.

Step Away from the Kiddie Department

When someone is nominated for a Oscar certain things are assumed:
1.  The person actually has talent
2.  Probably making some good money on at least the next movie they snag (you know in case it was an indie)
3.  Hired a Stylist to walk the Red Carpet

And if same said person, is also in one of the most popular Movie Franchises going on right now, they would need to have someone on staff to help for all the premieres and occasions.  Well Anna Kendrick, I guess you are a prime example of why someone shouldn't assume.  Because you are TOTALLY making an ASS out of U and ME!!!


For those of you who don't know, Anna was nominated for the Oscar as Supporting Actress in 'Up in the Air' with Clooney and is in those little Twilight movies.  So she is basically everywhere.  And it upsets me when I see her at a movie premiere dressed like this. Certainly one would assume she could afford to get a stylist or at least afford a full size adult dress.  But there I go assuming again.

Hmmm, how to save the dress?

First off those shoes have to go far far far away from this dress.  I am all for a yellow shoe, but this is not only the wrong shoe, but wrong color for this navy dress. The mini dress is not flattering and for too short, for even her.  It almost looks like a trash back with blue spray paint wrapped around her.

I would say to Anna, you have several issues.  If your stylist told you to wear this combo, FIRE him or her immediately.  There is no way to save the dress, so take it outside and BURN!!!
