Laura Linney is fabulous, of this we are all aware. A fine actress, indeed. The sort of woman with whom you could easily spend a companionable hour trapped in an elevator, yes. Someone who almost always looks cleanly chic but seems like she could tell a good dirty joke, of course. But while I am enamored of her in general, I don't know how I feel about this little number:

The dress itself isn't ghastly, but the color does her no favors. In fact, I have the feeling that her makeup artist took a look at her in this and muttered to himself, "I'm gonna need a bigger bronzer brush." Then he gave up right around her chin. But why, Laura? Why? Why, when you could have just worn...something that wasn't exactly the color of your flesh? WHY?
