I used to think Kate Beckinsale was SO beautiful. Like when she was in Much Ado About Nothing, all English-looking and fresh-faced and lovely? So pretty. But then things went sort of pear-shaped with her: there was that story about her peeing into her director's Thermos because she was angry with him, and there were rumors that she was very difficult to work with (which is to be expected, I suppose, if you turn to urine to solve your differences), and, of course, there's the whole Underworld II thing to contend with. So the bloom is off the rose, so to speak.
Much as the shirt is off the girl, I guess.
Leaving aside the fact that this shirt might actually work for evening -- which it could, with clever undergarmenting -- I am perplexed by all the ties and ribbons and bows that are happening here. I can't figure out which tie attaches to which piece of clothing. Is she wearing two shirts? Or is this a complex series of scarves? Or are these like very short, very posh cargo shorts?
Speaking of Posh, Ms Beckinsale looks more like her every day, with the long long hair and the drawn face and the big, big glasses. Don't get me wrong: despite her semi-regular appearances in this space, I rather love Posh. Having just devoured her first (!) autobiography, Learning to Fly, I've decided that I really want Posh and Becks to make it. But Kate Beckinsale is no Posh Spice, and considering the bludgeoning Posh gets from the press, I don't know why she would want to be.
Oh, wait. I think I just answered my own question: "the press."
