Apparently, this person has worn this look out and about before, but I hadn't stumbled upon it myself -- so, without the caption on this photo from our image provider, I have no idea if I'd have figured out who this is.
I mean, PROBABLY. Especially with the help of the close-up. But she's evocative of several people -- in that vague, unsatisfying way, where I sit and stare and can't put my finger on what amalgam of celebrities she evokes, because she just looks vaguely familiar. Kind of like the time eight years ago when I saw a dude at my hotel in New York and was like, "Wait... I think I went to college with that guy! What was his name again? Shoot..." and then half an hour later I realized it was not an old school chum but in fact Giovanni Ribisi. Whom I have never met.
Many of you have probably already figured out who this is -- or saw one of her earlier appearances with the specs -- but here's a tighter shot to help anyone who's still wondering:

Why, hello, Rose McGowan. The sleeve ruffles look a bit like your dress exploded at the shoulders, though, and I can't decide if matching your purse to the soles of your shoes is a kicky attention to detail, or cheesy, or some combo of the two. But mostly, I'm intrigued by the slight makeover. You look like Christina Ricci's undiscovered older sister. Which could be good, career-wise, since it doesn't seem like that whole Barbarella thing is going to happen.
The bob is very Holmesian, Rose -- is it new, or just new to me? Also, I didn't know you wore glasses. I love glasses. Someday I will need them, too, and I'm totally looking forward to that shopping spree because a pair of sassy frames will mitigate the frustration of my vision deteriorating. Retail therapy fixes everything. Want to come? We could talk about Marilyn Manson. Or Charles Manson. Or Charles Barkley. Or Barkley the dog from Sesame Street. It'll be fun.
