Unfug It Up: Katherine Heigl

I actually really liked this when I saw it, from SOME angles. Other angles it wasn't very flattering. But I don't know how to fix it. I THINK she needs a wider belt. The ribbon seems flimsy and incapable of wrangling all of it....

I think she looks like a Christmas disco ball.

I like her shoes!

BRA, BRA, BRA!!!

How 'bout I lay an over-one-shoulder-boulder-holder on you, and you turn over those gawjus shoes to me? Thanks.

I kinda like her with the red hair, and I like sparkle, but that's about it. this is also kind of the wrong sparkle. 'Course, I'm biased 'cause I don't really like her, but anywho.

BRA, BRA, BRA!!!

Shorter, straighter skirt to offset the loose drape up top. Sleeve should come to 3/4 length. But generally, I don't like the asymmetrical necklines - makes EVERYONE's chest look lopsided, don't care who you are. That's just not a flattering look, no matter what the rest looks like.

I actaully really like how she looks. I guess I'm in the minority...

Not only does the sleeve look to be tucked into the belt, but that whole side of the dress looks pulled wonky . The cut of the dress is not flatering, it makes her look like she just ate the whole turkey at dinner ,dress is too long, she really does look kind of maiden auntish in it.

Not enough Spanx?

at first i thought it couldn't be saved, but now I see the light:
make it sleeveless, give her a bra/corset, raise the hem, fit the waist, and lose the belt. cha cha cha.

I don't know why, but I've never liked these asymmetrical, one-side-has-a-sleeve-and-the-other-is-strapless dresses. I like asymmetry in general, but these always make people's bodies look weird.

I like the colour, but I'm not wild about the sequins. Maybe sequins don't go with bright colours, or maybe there's just too much fabric here for sequins to be the right choice.

I'd say keep the colour (maybe just a shade darker), lose the sleeve, lose the sequins (or some of them... is that possible? or does it just end up looking "bedazzled"?), shorten the skirt to just graze the tops of her knees, get rid of the weird bagginess on the right hand side of the skirt, and get that woman a proper foundation garment. Maybe I just mean, I want to see her in a different green dress altogether.

I'm with Monica on the shoes, though. They're great.

I saw her at the premiere and thought the green was flattering on her, I think this is a bad angle and she did look pretty good although maybe it would look better on someone else, maybe Diane Kruger?

Girlfriend needs a little helper for her little friends. The cut without any support undergarments makes her bust look matronly. Combined with the conservative length, it really does look like she should be smoking a Virginia Slim and arguing over a heated round of canasta.

Shorten it an inch or two, hoist up the girls, and I agree with whoever mentioned the belt - it's not enough for that dress.

I really do like the green. I think there should be a wider belt to match the shoes. I'd take the sleeve all the way down to her wrist, and hem the skirt up like 2 inches. The shoes are fantastic.

keep the shoes; add another sleeve - the style of the sleeve is ok i think, just need 2 of them; add a nice draped v-neck to balance the side draping; the belt needs to be something other than a ribbon; and loosen up the hair, i'm thinking nice soft waves.

I just gave this dress to goodwill.

It's really not that bad, just ill fitting. I think it would be better if it was a different shade of green that didn't scream "Jolly Green Giant's mistress". Redheads (present company included) usually look great with more olivey greens. Then I would give her a better bra, chop of that sleeve and make it a sleeveless strap, fix the messy bit at the waist, and move the hemline up about 2 inches. And she would be gone to go.

I think it could be fine, but it's doing very strange things to her chest. She definitely needs some lifting action under it, because right now the sash/belt looks like it came dangerously close to capturing one of the girls while it was being cinched.

Also, sequins can be very unforgiving when the shadows hit in the wrong way.

No. I hate the dress. I would hate it on anyone. I hate asymmetry. I hate the material. I hate how the dress makes it look like her breasts hang low (and no doubt wobble to and fro). I hate everything except the shoes. I love the shoes.

I think that the dress could be saved by stronger, more modern accessories. I'd go with a higher-heeled sandal in a neutral or metallic, and different jewelry. Maybe a larger bracelet that would sit down further on her wrist and make her look a bit more... relaxed. And different earrings.

At first the belt bothered me, but with the other changes I'd be ok with it--maybe just hide the loose ribbon ends.

I'm thinking the belt is the main issue. It looks like she put on the dress, sans belt, and her stylist shouted, "Crap! This thing is a sparkly green trash bag! We need something...a belt! GET ME A BELT!" and then found a leftover ribbon from a Christmas gift and tied it on real quick before she got in the limo.

Because otherwise, to be honest, I like it. Two inches higher on the hem wouldn't hurt, though. And I crave those shoes.

go back to blonde (my father the hero blonde, not platinum) or deep red- the color now blends too much with her skin.

the dress color is cheesy. it should be darker, forest green or black.

i think the tie around her waist makes her look much bigger than she is... that could have to do with the weird sleeve.

honestly the more i look at it, i hate it. i think it should be scrapped and completely overhauled.

She's too curvy for the cut and the fabric. She looks to have odd breasts. :S The belt/ribbon does nothing for her shape, it would be 1000 times better without it. And with hair down, GURRRRRRRRRRRRL, we have a winner.

The hem line is all wrong. Her knees seem to bend like an ostrich.

Cut off that sleeve. Turn her hair back to blonde. Remove snarky, self-important attitude. Wha-la!

The loose, bloused sleeve looks geriatric. The "belt" looks like a length of grosgrain ribbon from the craft store.

Remove sleeve, use real belt...Voila!

It's NOT Christmas or 1982. This is just barf-on-a-beaver gross. PS: I hate her because she got to put her tongue in Gerard Butler's mouth.

I love the concept, but maybe if it had (two) tighter sleeves like the one Sienna Miller wore a while back? With the huge sleeve, it makes her look fat and like her right boob is much lower than the other

Actually, it's the thin belt that's giving me the problem here. It's causing the fabric to pucker in a way that screams Aunt Ethel and her granny panties. And, is it just me, or does she age herself and make herself look like Sela Ward? Let's toss this look back in the ocean and fish again, shall we?

I actually love the color even with sequins. But, would cut off the sleeve, raise the hem a couple inches, and take off the flimsy looking ribbon and supplant with a wider belt of some kind, that isn't so matchy-matchy to the green. I also agree with the comment above with more modern jewelry. Oh, and a bra!

She always shows up in the wrong shade of a primary colour. Red, green - great colours on their own but the shades she picks don't do her any favours. Love the dress but not her in it. Agree with a poster above who said another green dress may have suited her better.

i like the fabric. one sleeved clothing is pretty much always silly. so make this a regular sleeveless (not strapless). keep the nice straight skirt and make the top more fitted over all. no need for a belt.

I love her with red hair. Something about her skin tone just sets off beautifully with red hair.

I'm not crazy about this shade of green on anyone, though. I agree that a wider belt would help. Hem it up a couple of inches as well.

Even so, I'm not happy with the color. A couple of shades darker would still be fresh and bold but not as.... minty.

Darker dress, lighter belt -- the belt, especially, is a weird shade, and I'd love to see this in a dark, dark blue

Pull the sleeve to the wrist, or make it a cap -- that might be super cute, if you also tightened up the bodice, made it more structural

Get those girls some support!

Two inches, at least, off the bottom

Fix whatever is happening with her hip/thigh area (same side as the sleeve): what, is she packing heat??

I like the updo, but not with that (lack of) background

I like the green -- and call me crazy, but I REALLY DON'T like the shoes -- at least not on her: They're making her feet look like yachts (then again, few people can pull off peep-toe Mary Janes). The length of the dress is way awkward too, not to mention the skimpy ribbon of a belt. She need a thin black belt and black heels to match (and please gawd, enough of the platforms!).

I am a sucker for sequins, now and forever, but this thing looks like a green sparkly belted hefty bag. Fix the fit!

I am categorically opposed to one-sleeve garments. They never look as good as the wearer thinks they do.

This is a particularly egregious example of the one-sleeve wonder. The color is off, the belt is wonky, the length is bad. So here's my best fix of a bad situation:

Put on a brassiere.
Hem that dress up above the knees.
Trade in the ribbon for a wide belt, preferably in a metallic shade that draws attention to the fabulous shoes.

I really do not understand one sleeved dresses in general.
The only thing I would do is tailor the top of the dress so that she doesn't look like she has huge breasts hanging down to her belly button.
At first I looked at it and thought "She just needs to put on a bra and she'll be fine" but then I realized that she isn't really a bosomy gal, so it's just the weird way the top billows out above her waist.

1) Take away the giant sleeve and blue ribbon belt.

2) Make the bodice fitted, with whatever hoists are necessary to control that saggy bust area.

3) Take the mary-jane strap across the middle of the shoes.

And voila, great! The color and length would be fine if the rest of the dress was cleaned up. It could be either strapless or even have a thin strap or small cap sleeve. If you want big baggy sleeves, that's okay and kind of a fun retro thing, but then you have to pair them with a smooth, fitted bust and waist area.

Your Aunt Ethel rocks! I love this on her. It's a gorgeous color. It's bold and not the same old, same old we see ALL the time. I wouldn't change a thing.

Lose the sleeve, lose 3-5 inches from the hem. Add a bra. I agree with the previous mention about not liking the shoes... they're too "I'm at the office and it's not Friday yet so I guess here's another day of business casual to get me through until I can wear a pair of ratty jeans and the closest thing to a t-shirt without getting reprimanded."

If she's going to go retro, she should go all the way - lengthen the sleeve, make it narrow at the bottom and dolman at the armhole. Make tho whole thing more narrow and lose the belt - we all know she's got a waist. I love the shoes, but they look a little bit corporate compared to the sequins. And nothing improves like a good bra.

One of her boobs is at her waist, so I think I'd fix that first. Losing the sleeve might make the top half more flattering overall, because she looks a little wide with it on there. The skirt isn't quite right, either, since I doubt her hips are actually that wide. She's a thin girl, but the fit isn't doing her any favors.

I saw this pic just from the waist up at first, and my first thought was that it would look great full-length. And if that hideous sleeve was changed to a little cap sleeve (that is, if she has to go asymmetrical). But I think the thing that bothers me most is that the darn belt-ribbon doesn't match the rest of the dress.

Love the hair, love the green, love the shoes but I don't like the sleeve. The sleeve is too much. It should have been strapless or sleeveless.

I don't know about the belt. I don't know if it's too much or too little. Maybe a different color?

Lose the waist ribbon -- I think it's an afterthought and the "tucked in" effect is because it's not supposed to be there. Silvery gold color, 3 inches shorter, loose hair, strappier sandals, and the sleeve doesn't blouse it just hangs free (think kimono, not balloon). Oh, and more support in the boob department.

Very dumpy dress, very dowdy shoes. She looks like she's acting on a 40s-50s movie set, with a very low budget.

Love it and Want it.

Very dumpy dress, very dowdy shoes. She looks like she's acting on a 40s-50s movie set, with a very low budget.

I saw the dress in person at the premiere and she looked absolutely fantastic in it. It was a bit different but many fashion sites have her as best dressed of the week. The shoes were great - pewter colour very unusual, Jimmy Choo I was told. Anyway, I thought she was radiant.

i kind of love it actually, though I agree it should be hemmed to the knee, not below as it is. adore the color, too.

I feel like Heigl terminally dresses like an old woman. I think she fancies herself a more iconic star than she truly is.

I like it. I think the waist and the hem need to be a bit higher, to make her boobs look less droppy and show off her legs more. But its close to super cute.

Actually? I think I really, really like this, just the way it is. Which is saying something, because I am sick of Katherine Heigl.

Lose the sleeve entirely, hoist the boobies, hike the hem a few inches north of the knee, and fix whatever's wrinkling the right side of the skirt. Hands off the color, though—it's awesome!

This is soooooooooo unflattering, her boobs look like water balloons, and I don't like the asymmetrical with one sleeve. She is so beautiful, she could wear anything (and I do like the shoes), but a shiny trash bag with a waist tie, NO NO NO.

Her left side is perfect. If the entire dress was sleeveless and she did not have the doofus-y sleeve and puffy hip she'd look her usual smashingly gorgey self.

Thanks for asking.

The combination of the red hair and green sparkles makes me think of the mother-of-the-bride dress at the Little Mermaid's wedding. But I do covet the shoes, even with the Mary Jane straps.

I agree with you on everything. I think this dress would be better were it a little more form fitting in the bodice, for sure. I'm not sure how I feel about that droopy sleeve, either. Maybe just a thick, one-shoulder strap might do it, instead of having a whole sleeve tacked onto the dress. And I would possibly change the shoes... those are kind of giving me old lady vibes. Otherwise, it's really a nice color on her, although I think you're right - she does look better blonde.

Why wasn't the dress made with built-in support? Bizarre.

I agree with everyone else that her bust line needs some OOMPH. The belt should be wider and match the dress fabric. The dress should definitely be shorter, she has great legs. The shoes are HIDEOLA. She needs a something with an ankle strap. The Aunt Marion hairdo needs to go as well. It's much too severe.

UGH. Put on a bra, take off the belt, chop a few inches off the hem, make her a blonde again, add a sleeve and make the whole thing fitted. Then let me see it again.

I'm not crazy about the earrings, either.

It just looks retro in a bad way, like disco fever that's been hanging in the closet for 30 years. And it makes her look old and droopy, which is never a good thing.

Maybe it's the lighting, but her boobs look lopsided.

We're talkin' it up, on the Barry Gibbs Talk Show.
We're talkin' 'bout bitchiness
Coupled with glowin' skin
We're talkin' 'bout baggy dresses
In pretty colors
We're talkin' 'bout awesome shoooooooes

Special guests tonight include Adrian Zmed, Marilyn McCoo and Darcel Wynn!

I know everyone loves the shoes, and I do like them a lot too. But the strap is not helping this look at all. They add to the frumpiness already at play because of the hair, and all-around droopiness of the dress. I say cut out the shoe straps, and get the dress in a smaller size, put on some proper garmers, switch the bangles to the opposite hand for symmetry, swap the ribbon belt for an actual solid, thicker belt and she is good to go.

I'll start off by saying that I love retro clothing and am currently wearing a purple paisley top so this might have some impact on my opinion.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say this would look great a shade or two darker, longer, flowing out, with that one sleeve fixed so it doesn't look like it's attached to the waist/ribbon area.

Not sure what could be done about her boobage. I would suggest something a bit more supportive underneath, I remember watching Knocked Up and thinking that same thing about her in one scene.

I think the "belt" ribbon thing is what's giving us the idea that her boobs are too low. It either needs to be higher so it's right underneath or sit lower and loser, maybe even a metal gold chain.

BRA. The girls are looking a little lopsided.

Also, fix whatever is up with that sleeve. Or are we all mistaken and it's not so much a dress as it is a very blinged out toga?

I rather like the colors - both her hair (I think the photog lights are playing up some golden highlights in her brown hair, making it less drab) and the dress. I even like the length.

What is wrong is the fit. All wrong. Her breasts are lopsided, her tummy looks puffy, and there is some weird bubbling on the side that looks like the fabric got wildly stretched out down one side and they tried - and failed - to fix it with a belt.

Everything else is lovely. She'd looking stunning if the dress just fit better.

i would like a much wider belt in a contrasting color. i would like that sleeve to fall off and for her to make the most out of her wilma flintstone look. i do like the color but i think that it would be so much nicer to go out of the house in something that gorgeous to begin with, that doesn't need unfugging.

oh, and this is the most important thing. i really think her boobs are too low. everyone needs a bra!!!

I actually love the color, both of dress and hair. This dress is just fitting her wrong, and I don't think it's her dress's fault or her body's fault, just the fault that some clothes don't work on some people. I know I've desperately wanted something super cute to work on me and I know, KNOW that it ALMOST works, but then the Nina Garcia inside my head gives me that look, and back on the hanger it goes. So what this really needs is a Nina Garcia, but when it's that true?

The dress could also use someone with more panache, someone with a bit more of a sense of fun about them, like a really good comedienne (I pictured Megan Mullaly in this and it made me happy, or ever Amy Sedaris). Someone where you'd say, "HAH! That dress is great!" I could even picture Our Lady Bai, wearing this, albeit for a midnight grocery store run in Minneapolis in November.

I think she looks like Tinkerbell.

Oy. Tease that hair up a little, and she's on the Loveboat as famous middle-aged lounge singer flirting with Doc and getting advice from Isaac.

Katherine honey, boobs up. Less fabric, and for heaven's sake give your Grandmother her shoes back and find something cute.

Awesome color, though.

Cut the damn thing shorter.

I just, believe in bras. I like the color actually, and the hair, she looks awful blonde. I also like the shoes. She needs a bra, and lose that sleeve, make the top fit right and it would look great.

The whole outfit and her hair are just really AWFUL! The whole outfit makes her look like she's in her 60's and it's 1975. I really don't think there is anything that can save this outfit. Even if it were re-made as a strapless dress or grecian one-shoulder dress, it would still be awful becuz of the hideous green glitter material. And those shoes... those make it look like she forgot to change her shoes after tap class.

This dress is totally fug. May be the most unflattering thing I've seen on Ms. Heigl. The belt looks like an unfortunate after thought.

A 3" hem and make the one shoulder into a strap, not a bat wing.
The colors are wonderful, but a little less sparkle, please? Its....
Better shoes.
And last, but certainly not least, SUPPORT. Her cleavage has carried her thus far, seems a shame for her to let them down like that.

I'd remove the sleeve it does have, darken the shade of green, hem the dress to the length of the underskirt, and hope all of that somehow managed to distract from the fact that it looks like she has a football growing out of her chest.

Lose the sleeve and the draping at the hip, shorten the hem, hike up the boobs. And you're done -- disco inferno.

I actually think it would be great if it was floor-length. It's too wavering in between short and cute and long and flowy with that awkward length. Add a better belt, and you've got yourself a fantastic dress.

I like the dress but not the new hair colour. In this one isolated case, the colours seem too ... twee? matchy?
She looks like a Christmas tree in other words. Keep the dress, go back to blonde.

I am certainly in the minority: I like the asymmetry and the color of the dress. I think she pulls it off here.

don't like the dress. don't like the hair. don't like the shoes. don't like her.

I actually really like this! She looks quite pretty, outfit included.

She's missing an accessory. I think his name is Gerard Butler. Is that him behind the girl with the stripper shoes? I can't tell.

All I know is that my eyes want to go anywhere else but to her, which is normal, but today I have little green spots floating around in my vision because of that dress.

keep it asymmetrical but lose the sleeve. ditch the chintzy-looking belt and swap it for something more substantial in a copper metallic or something neutral to break up all that green. fix the ta-tas and change the pose.

Katherine, Katherine, Katherine... Didn't your mother ever tell you "HOIST THE GIRLS UP!" Only two people I know who would wear this: 1.my husband's 60 year old aunt who would wear this, with no bra & orange lipstick or 2.A great drag performer friend of mine who sings ethel mermen tunes and his ta-tas look better than Katherine's!
Oy-vay!

Some previous commenters had good ideas. Raise the hem several inches, trade that flimsy badly matched matchy-matchy belt for something thicker and in a contrasting color, and put the very same dress on someone else. I was thinking it might be a great color on Anna Faris and since she's smaller than Katherine, it would probably fit looser on her, making the odd bulges look more '80s slouch dress, which I think Anna could totally pull off with some funky shoes, than saggy sewing mishap.

I hate the dress. It looks like a Christmas tree, where there's always one side bigger than the other. She needs a strapless longline bra, a real belt, less sleeve and some powder. Her face is almost as shiny as the dress.

haven't read through all the comments so this will probably already have been mentioned, but i actually think you're first instincts were right. i do like it- with just some minor tweaks. the hemline is a little long so take it up an inch or two. the sleeve actually doesn't even bother me as much as i would expect - i would either remove the blousy part and just make it a one shoulder tank dress or just try and make sure it wasn't tucked into the belt :). the BIG problem with the outfit (for me at least) is the shoes! they are fantastic, no doubt, but i don't like them with this dress. the strap and peep toes (along with the awkward dress length) make her calves look monsterous. i think either strappy gold sandals or a close toed pump with no strap would help immensly. i think the color (and the sequins!)look great on her!

No, it's not that bad. A little uninspired, and the belt's the wrong colour.

She looks like Larry the cucumber in that dress....which BTW, is NOT a good look for her. I mean, she looks like a giant glittery pickle...and I don't know ANY woman who looks good dressed as a pickle.
Where is Bob the tomato when you need him?
I KNOW he would have warned her off this.

The globby hip thing is unflattering and the belt is too thin and flimsy. The hem is indelicate. Other than that, I kinda like it. It would be awesome in orange. Wouldn't it? Maybe that's just me.

The green is sort of a St. Paddy's day frosted cupcake color. Actually, I think the whole outfit is what Aunt Marion wore the year she went out to the Southie parade with no underwear and a pint of Bushmill's tucked into her coat pocket.

I'm of the anti-asymmetrical persuasion myself, and I think the shine on the sequins are making perfectly fine body parts appear to bulge. The shoes are OK, but not with that outfit.

I'd go for a moss green silk shantung, sleeveless with a low V-neck, and some shoes that really popped, perhaps in a bright bronze or copper tone. The hair would be fine up, but I'd love to see some height - or perhaps a French twist with a flower at the nape of the neck,

Lose the weird sleeve and make it full length.

how to unfug? STOP BEING KATHERINE HEIGLE

Sorry, I had to get that out of my system, I deeply dislike her and am baffled as to how somebody who is such a pill ALL THE TIME can have a successful career in Romantic Comedies where lovably people like Christina Applegate and Anna Farris fail.

Anyways, I think the main problem is that while she has nice genes her breasts definetly need more support than a lot of other actresses, combine with a long neck and a smallish head the effect is rather weird and unappealing.

Get a better bra and let down the hair and she could pull this off

Is it just me or does it look like someone took a straw and blew air into the dress. It just kind of looks blown up a bit??? Not flattering at all and yeah the color is a bit disco ballish.

I think she looks pretty fab. The colour is amazing, and her hair is a really pretty shade. That being said, she needs a more supportive bra, and I vote for a wider belt.

The whole thing is bad -- ESPECIALLY THOSE SHOES. There nothing elegant about a platform shoe in a size 11. The peeptoes and Mary Jane straps just make the whole mess worse.

The dress could be improved by tossing that damn ribbon and shortening the hem. Maybe add a bolder lipstick too so she doesn't look so dumpy.

Yeah, no. On everything save her actual self (I'll give the hair a pass but prefer her Ugly Truth locks).

Editrix, you disappoint me in loving those shoes. Really? You like THOSE shoes? Those hideously squared-off-open-toe shoes with the heels at an awkward angle? Bleh.

Mostly, I second what Lauren wrote above: "I think she fancies herself a more iconic star than she truly is." AND...I want to scream. If I had these looks I would not squander them.

She has made herself look like a tied-in-the-middle, traditional, gourd lucky sake bottle thing, from Japan.

What else? If this dress had any hope I'd say using that hideous, probably feels like cellophane material? Cut off the sleeve. Reuse material to fashion relaxed boatneck. Unbelt, and hike hem. Just make it a near a-line with a slightly tapered waist.

And fug sakes. Better earrings. Or none at all.

I was at the première and she looked incredible. Seriously, she's so beautiful that I can't comment on the clothes now. Well, except to say that the belt is a bit off. But look at that smile!

I don't think this outfit can be saved. Maybe she's going for "old school movie star glam," but to me she always seems to dress like a matron instead of the youthful woman she is.

I'm surprised you didn't comment on how huge the dress her gut look. As someone who possess one, I am shocked that anyone would go out with it protruding like that. Oh, yeah, and she is just so full of herself besides.

Shorter, tighter, and blonde hair. Not crotch-baringly short, and not so tight that we can see her pulse, but a slimmer cut--especially on the sleeve--and a shorter, mid-thigh length with her normal blonde hair would look better. She looks weird with that hair color for some reason.

It makes her took way extremely droopy because she has some natural curves. It also looks like her leg is bending in a weird direction, it makes me feel uncomfortable.

It's great from the belt up. The mid-section and lower-half of it is just awful and it makes her look wide and... sort of knock-kneed, which is just wrong. I like the arm-tucked-into-the-waist for some reason, but I think the skirt should be more flowy, a little shorter, and not sequined. I think the sequins impede the movement of the skirt portion which should exist but doesn't. I like the red hair on her, but I agree, the up-do with a green-sequined-vaguely-goddess dress is just too severe.

Is it just me or does her left leg look broken? At the very least, it's absurdly hyper-extended.

Besides that....I kind of dig the green sequined dress, but I think a little less arm poof would do KH some justice. Also, bring the dress in a little at the waist...the belt would be fine if it weren't the accessory to the crime of the dress's baggy, drooping-over, upper-torso fabric.

I say, tighten it in the torso, tighten it in the sleeve, and leave the cut of the dress as is. The length is a bit weird, but can be pulled off with a clingier fit and the right kicks.

Honestly, I'm not even hating the dress that much, even as is. To me, KH is pretty close to Willie Scott opening sequence from Temple of Doom - aka, the epitome of hotness in my eyes, starting from whenever I first saw that movie until...now.

This whole draping trend looks overly granny to me. But for goodness sake, if you're going to wear a draped dress, make sure it drapes! I'm not sure if it's the belt, the fabric, the sequins or the cut that are to blame, but in any given spot where it's supposed to drape, it's not quite doing it. So she's left with sort of halfway-to-drape bumps on her hips and just above her waist.

As for the color, I think it would be fine without sequins. But then, I generally don't like the shiny-shiny on clothes. You don't want to get me started on how much I despise metallic fabric...

Lose the belt, lose the drapey stupid sleeve & make it strapless, put on a strapless bra (for the love of crap, wear a bra!), form-fit the dress to the body and shorten the skirt to above the knee, and ditch zose 'orrible shoes. A bright pink stiletto would really make it pop. And big, big, big earrings, all silver and sparkly. You can't go too big. Big earrings. I can't sress this enough.

i do like the whole ensemble. everything.

I hate this dress, it cannot be saved. the color is fine, but the fabric reminds me of something one would find in a 5 year old's disney princess dress up box. (tasteful sequins are fine. that....ew.) And the cut, while I am not opposed to asymetrical, just manages to look lopsided rather than unique. Maybe it is trying too hard? Perhaps if she lost the the ugly balloonish sleeve thing that is big enough to store a small child in? she is very pretty, but man, that dress is terrible.

besides, it doesnt even fit her right. or maybe she just needs a better bra. someone take this girl to victorias secret please, and get her some support!

Ah, leave the girl be: green is hot with her newly red hair and shoes are to die for.

Those shoes are to die for! They compliment the green of the dress really beautifully. I am not a fan of the one shoulder look and it definitely works to her disadvantage here. I think it could look cute strapless and 2 inches above her knee. Lose that ribbon and wear a proper belt, something yellow/gold since she is wearing gold jewelry.
Also, the red hair looks gorgeous on her! It would look even better if it was curled and loose.

i pretty much love everything about it, although it COULD be a touch shorter. if i want to be picky. which i don't. i'd rock the whole thing in a heartbeat.

I think, I would just start all over. But agree with everyone who said wear a bra. I think I could almost deal with the strange lop-sided fit if she was wearing a bra. There have been some pretty amazing advancements in the strapless bra world, so there is really no excuse for that.

i actually love the color, tho i thing something about her hair and make-up makes her look too flushed or something....
that said...i HATE this disco redux thats happening here....
this is the second consecutive one sleeved dress we've unfugged here,and i like this one more (because its not fitted like the other one), but not by much...
the fact that the dress has this weird unfinished look...like the literally just tied it all together with that belt. And the shoes seem all wrong for this sequined thing...i would rather see strappy sandals for sure....
and definitely the length is wrong....
she looks a bit knock kneed... shorten the hem!

I think I would love it if the sleeve was gone (the one shoulder look would work), the belt was bigger and if her boobs were in the correct hemisphere. Get that girl and uplift bra, stat!

I think I'd like it better if it were tailored instead of belted, and if it was hemmed above the knee. I kind of like the big sleeve, but it needs to be separate of the dress, because right now it looks like a sparkly caftan. A strappier sandal would bring it back into her age range, too.

okay:

this could have been a total Scrolldown Fug for me. i love the haircolor, the hairdo, the color of the dress, AND the sequins. for some reason, however, i assumed (because i generally assume something will be pleasing to me until proven otherwise) that the dress was long and sort of... column-y, like grecian or something. but NO: it hits RIGHT at the exact wrong point on her leg, giving her Gumby-legs and making it seem as if she has no knees. we know this is not true because K. Heigl has pretty good legs, yeah? anyway...

Step 1: make the dress floor-length, maybe with a teeny bit of the fabric pooling on the ground. tres elegant (or... as elegant as a mass of green sequins can be, you know, in that kinda fabulous Barry Gibb Variety Hour kind of way).

2: get rid of the dumpy ribbon-chiffon-whatever belt and just make the dress ACTUALLY fit her in the bodice. this'll help reconcile the boob placement, too (with which Ms. Heigl also generally needs very little assistance).

3: the single wizard sleeve is okay, i think, as long as steps 1 and 2 are observed.

The trouble is the color and the fabric. The green is just shy of cheesy. Maybe it could have been saved but the addition of the glitter dooms this dress forever. There is nothing that can be done for this dress as long as those 2 elements stay the same.

I don't mind it, honestly. It's kinda kitschy, and I think she could rock a paper sack.

I just don't like the shoes, and I think she needs a good, supportive bra.

Otherwise, she's a disco Queen and I love it!

I think it's gorgeous, though I agree that the silhouette could have been improved by a wider belt and better ... structural support.

I do, however, like the length, the color, the sleeve, the shoes, and *especially* her hair -- I think that's a gorgeous shade of red on her, that makes her skin look spectacular and really brings out her eyes.

I like it for the most part! I'd probably make it a slightly darker green and floor length but otherwise it's good with me.

I like her hair color a lot. It reminds of when she was on Roswell and the show was supposedly canceled and she cut and dyed it a dark brown shade and then oops, they were back on for another season. She's like Charlize Theron in that almost any hair color looks good with her skin. And I like that the cut of her dress will allow her to eat a sandwich.

I think she looks great as a redhead, and she looks great in that color. But the dress is awful. It makes her look bulgey and frumpy. I think the only way to fix it is to toss it and put on something else.

Get rid of the sleeve. It makes her look wider than she is.

That is all.

It just looks like a cheap dress that someone hemmed while watching an 11:00 p.m. episode of Friends. The waist looks too tight and the cheap sequins emphasize the wrong curves. No good.

I would make the dress either strapless or a little shorter or both.

I still love Katherine's darker hair! That's just not the right green for her. That MacArthur-Park-sweet-green-icing color would be hard for anyone to carry off. I'd like to see a more clingy cut without the billowy sleeve or the sash. The length is unfortunate. Shorter would definitely be better. If it skimmed her figure, she could even wear it mid-calf with a nice slit up the back, a la Kate Walsh. In other words, I guess, scrap the whole thing and start from scratch. Oh, and I think the strap on the shoe contributes to the "Aunt Ethel-ness" of it.

It kinda reminds me of that green plastic netting that fruits/vegetables sometimes come in from the grocery store. http://tinyurl.com/mhonlz

Okay, so I'm sure someone has suggested all of these already but I can't bring myself to NOT chime in.

I like the idea of the dress in a dark red, but definitely with blonde hair. I liked her a LOT better blonde. Then hike up the bottom 2 inches, and I think a wide belt in...black? And hair differently styled-- maybe it's just a bad angle, but this looks icky.

i have lost the ability to like anything the heigl wears on account of her reportedly hideous personality and frequent co-star bashing. her inner fug shines through whatever she's wearing. perhaps she's nice in person but she's on the red carpet so im taking the liberty of judging her public persona. FUG.

You guys! The ribbon was how the tailor marked where he was supposed to hem it!

I think I could be okay with the one sleeve if it was an actual sleeve separate from the bodice, but I really think it's a sparkly sack that she cut a "whoops, too big, guess I'll put my arm through, too!" neck hole in and belted.

I'd like to see the color against a NOT-red background, the red makes it look like (as someone else called it) a Christmas disco ball. I think I might like it but the picture is too distracting.

The shoes are awesome, her belt (it needs a belt regardless of the sleeve fix) and jewelry should ALL be that color. Not the yellowy-goldy crap she has on.

And...a choker? Not sure. But I feel like her neck looks too exposed, lol.

Last but not least, ditto to whoever said longline bra. Goodness sakes, she looks exactly like Drew Barrymore did in that OTHER green dress...

I'm not a fan of the comeback that 80s prom dresses are making right now. For the first time in my life I am reliving a series of bad fashion trends and I now understand my mother's horror when bell bottoms were briefly popular in the 90s. Nor am I a fan of the bare shoulder. Sequins are fine and dandy in moderation and green is great as a color, but this is extreme. The explosion of sparkle in combination with the contrast between her hair color and dress color is hurting my eyes.
Would a black shift dress be dull? Her hair and shoes want a black dress.

i don't like her hair color - i'd change her hair back to blonde and put a different color belt/ribbon/whatever around her waist to break up the color and match the shoes. i actually adore the dress and the color - maybe hem it to right above her knees. her shoes are killer!

I must be in the minority, because I see nothing great about her. While she is pretty, I don't find her beautiful, radiant or sexy. She's also an ok actress. I also don't think she has any personal style. I don't hate her as some do, but I fail to see the fascination.

I'm seeing a Love Boat lounge singer circa 1978 who gets off the boat in Puerta Vallarta and heads over to Fantasy Island for a very special crossover episode to learn what her life would have been like if she hadn't lost her one true love and had made it big and become a real star, only to learn that life as a celebrity isn't what it's cracked up to be and her life really was better on the boat after all, so she heads back to it, wiser and happier, and of course with her one true love in tow.

The shoes are hot. The dress is not. She definitely needs better undergarments, her boobs just look wonky as they are now. And maybe it's just me but the color AND sparkle of the dress remind me of that fake grass you use in easter baskets. Shorter in a different color would be a great improvement.

Mandi is 100 percent right; she looks exactly like the sort of woman Dr. Bricker ("Your Ship's Doctor") would have chased after, only to find her heart belongs to another.

Since it's Friday afternoon, I took out my sketchbook and tried to think about how to make this work, and I'm flummoxed. Maybe this just didn't photograph well? But the overall effect gives the wrong shade of green for her. Green doesn't always look great on redheads, and this doesn't work. Sequins with green I think is just too much, and given that I wear Betsey Johnson AND Carlos Santana (don't judge), for me to say that it's gotta be bad!

If she really wanted sequins and green, I'd go a rich, dark forest green on her, get rid of the dolman and go with one elegant strap, shape the dress so that it doesn't require a belt, and go full length with it (tho it's too hot for that nonsense in LA right now). The dress does not fit her properly--and with the dolman, it all looks too saggy and baggy and then there's the support problem which can sandbag the best of dresses.

I like the shoes, but not with this. Fab professional shoes, but not for this. I'd vote for Christian Louboutin in black.

AAAGH those shoes! No wonder Aunt Ethel came to mind. Even that big, spiked heel cannot overcome the old lady toe area. She needs to sassify those feet with an edgier pair of footwear. As for the rest of the dress- I'm fine with the color but I'd lop off the up that hem by about four inches while wagging my finger at her in a school marmish way about how she needs to flaunt it while she's got it. I'm meh on the hair because she's pretty enough to pull it off- though I prefer her blonde.

Slice the sleeve, use it to construct a second strap, shape the torso, lose the belt, she's ready to rock.

Shorten and tighten the skirt, put on a bra (or a better one). Otherwise I think she looks great, and I love the colour.

Two sleeves. Less blobby cut. Above the knee. PRESTO!

for some reason she looks far, far older in this picture. maybe it's the hair? she's a better blond.

Can this outfit be saved? No, it's just plain ugly, fugly, fug. (Kudos to the commenter who said she sent it to Goodwill.) Katherine is sending the message that she possesses such a surplus of hotness and beauty that she can afford to squander it now and then by stuffing herself into something hideous. Unfortunately, she's right.

Like the concept, but between the sequins and the belt it's making her a little poochy. My fix would be to drape it better around around the waist and maybe go with a slightly richer color, to counteract the aging effect.

For the most part, it's really pretty nice-looking. But she needs to ditch the sleeve, get a strapless bra, and get a real, substantial belt in there instead of that flimsy ribbon thing. Then she'll look great.

I like her better as a blonde, too, but the darker color isn't terrible.

Should be a deep green silk (NO sequins, but in full disclosure, I am very prejudiced against them for some reason), and the sleeve should be completely gone. No hair-ribbon-tied-around-the-waist, either; just some nice tailoring that nips it in to give it shape.

Right now it looks as though her right arm would stop, trapped, six inches away from her body if she tried to lift it.

The material seems lightweight and kind of crappy. It doesn't drape well. Or hem well. It's bad. I do like the color, though.

it looks to me like the ribbon is somehow attached to the billowy sleeve, leaving any upward arm motion difficult at the very least. i think hemmed and a less billowy sleeve (unattached to the ribbon belt) would make this a bit more flattering.

am i seriously hte only one who thinks those shoes are hideous???

I know, right!!! The really ugly part of the outfit are those matronly shoes. My Grandma has a pair just like them that she wears to church regularly.

Cath has it exactly right, I would only add a wider belt

1.) BRA
2.) Darker shade of emerald green.
3.) Lose the assymmetrical sleeves, which are tacky.
4.) Change the shoes to something more arresting, like some deep indigo Christian Loubs. I like the t-strap, though.

Needs a BRA!

The whole thing is too big for her. The sleeve is overwhelming. But the fabric is obviously too drapey and soft for a structured bodice. I'm thinking she needs very thin straps, made from loosely coiled and gathered strips of the dress fabric, and a softly rolled neckline detailing. Fit the rest smoothly and closely to the body, and take off that horrid mismatched belt.

The shoes are 100% dreadful, especially with a dress that demands something fun with little straps. Keep it light and retro/disco--not these matronly, stiff bronze things with a cross strap that makes the foot look heavy!

I agree with those who said the color is a few shades too light, but overexposure from the camera flashes might be causing that.

Why do her boobs look so big here? They are really not this big - not that I know - but come on.

I like the color, but in a different fabric and without the sleeve.

I loved the dress, until I read this and noticed that yeah, the hem ends at a weird place and yeah, her boobs do look droopy and yeah, her sleeve seems to be tucked into her belt!

The hem should be higher, just above the knees. She could put on a bra and the dress could be sleeveless, but not strapless. Also, the waist should be tailored in it, not forced into it with a ribbon.

The bodice doesn't fit well at all. You're quite right about the matronly aunt profile. Couple that with the droopy sleeve and well . . . this is what you get.

What is up with gift wrap belts? Stop tying bows around your middle...unless you're in middle school.

I don't like that her right hip looks like it has developed wave ripples. As so many have said, lose the big sleeve (with its eddying ripples), hoist up those girls and knock a few inches off the hem.

Regardless of whether she annoys or not, the woman is a knockout.

The dress {shudder} is retro, alright- it harks back to the early sixties, when fifties fashion tropes became decadent and rotted just before being pushed out of the way by Mary Quant and her ilk. The color is possibly the single most boring shade of green possible (it reminds me of St. Patrick's Day cupcakes with sparkly green sugar decorations) and the shape is perfectly horrid: a length that does nothing for nobody, and a bodice which seems to reveal that her right breast has slipped out of the bottom of her bra and is flopping unsupported.

Now, if the whole thing was mid-thigh, she'd be dressed appropriately for a knife throwing act, where just before the finale she strips down to a spangled leotard and is strapped to a rotating target wheel.

The make-up fits with the knife throwing act, and the hair... you know how hard it is to maintain a good multi-dimensional color job under circus conditions? Of course it looks faded and monochrome and brassy, she was up all night helping pitch the big top, and then had to wash her hair in Prell and water from the elephant's drinking trough!

(Love the shoes)

I actually really like it. And I can't stand Katherine Heigl, so that says a lot. But, then again, I actually kind of liked Rachel Nichols' white dress, too, so maybe the heat is just getting to me.

make it strapless and we're good to go.

Personally, I think if this was hemmed any higher we would be verging into hideous 1980's Las Vegas hooker territory. IIII say, we drop the hem right down - make this sucker floor length and fitted. Show off her 'oo la la' figure.

And for pete's sake change the shoes! Something strappy and golden will be fine, ta very much.

Nothing, nothing makes me laugh harder than "crazy gold medallions".
Thank you.

I think her chest looks sort of down with that dress, she has nice body, but this particular shape of outfit doesn't do her much justice, love the sleeve of the dress though - and I am not a fan of green - so any other color would be better!...

It looks like she's draped in a miniature golf putting green, and wearing Rue McClanahan's shoes from The Golden Girls. Woof.

Is she hiding a pot of gold somewhere in there?

If this dress were a darker shade of green I would probably be more excited about it. Also, it looks like it's vintage and they just didn't tailor it to her. Le sigh. She looks like she needs a grasshopper. Stat.

She needs to get a different dress. I don't think that thing can be salvaged.

Can't see dress...too entranced by shooooooooooeeesssssssss....

This dress is pure Rose Nyland, GG circa 1987. Rose used to love the sequins. It also looks as if Heigl has appropriated Rose's ample bustline.

In short, a great dress for Rose several decades ago; a not-so-great dress for the [admittedly] pretty, young Heigl.

The shoes look like hooves. Sad.

I love the color and the sparkle (and the hair and the shoes are good too). I'd make it ankle length and go all-out 70s on that beast, though! And echo everyone else's comments about hoisting up the girls...

I'd take it off and put something else on...

it gives off too much of a mermaid-vibe, and not in a good way.

She looks like a paper doll. Sort of like the clothes were just stuck on her with those little paper tabs instead of her actually WEARING it.

Get rid of the sleeves, and give her a better bra. That should do the trick.

I'm in the minority who love the color and the sequins, even together. That said, K-Heig has some serious fit issues going on here. Do a fitted sleeve to offset the blousy bodice, which I actually have no problem with either, save the lack of bra. Listen, I sympathize as I'm in the same boat, but your rack NEEDS one. My girl Drew learned the hard way a few years back. The belt is not helping the droop factor either; the dress needs something more substantial that can hold its own against what I think can safely be called a lot of look. Poor little ribbon never stood a chance. And for God's sack, MATCHING or CONTRASTING. Pick one, no more of this "just a shade off" bullshit.

burn it. it looks like a disco christmas tree skirt that spent thirty years stuffed in the attic. SHE on the other hand is infuriatingly gorgeous.

I'd say this dress is best accessorized with Gerard Butler rubbed up against it.

I would just sort out the boob situation (if it is actually not the boobs, but the way the fabric blouses out at the waist, whatever, then fix THAT) first before changing anything else. I suspect that would do it. If that isn't enough, then swap the shoes for a pair of roller skates and we're done.

a) Get rid of that hideous sleeve
b) Make it black- everything looks good when its black
c) Some snazzy red stilettos
d) Dye the hair blonde again and let it loose

And are her boobs really THAT bad?

Oh and:

e) Get her a time machine so she didnt star in The Ugly Truth- hated that sexist film.

Lose the sleeve, give it a much broader belt - metallic (make it match the shoes)and hem it about three inches. Also, more red in the hair or back blond. Red dress and red shoes... probably not, eh?

Skirt is unflattering -- too wide and hitting her legs at an awkward point. Not digging the shoes either. From the hem down, she could be anywhere from 25 to 75 years old. Prefer her blonde and less smug also.

take off the sleeve & make it a strapless number, shorten the hem, slim the skirt, widen the belt, deepen the hue, and then it would be perfect. although i think she's such a little snot that i probably wouldn't like her then, either.

I guess I don't need to catch up on Gray's Anatomy anymore... I'm sure your comment on the late seasons of GA was an unintentional spoiler, but please remember that you have readers in Europe and we don't always get episodes of our fave TV shows at the same time they are run in the US!!! But I still love you.

Lose the erstwhile sleeve and I would kill for this dress. And, by the way, please tell me where I can get those shoes!

SIGH.

I wash my hands of you, Heigl.

I am NOT curious about that dress (which looks, impossibly, baggy and sparkly at once) -- in any color -- and I do not find the shoes interesting. They're pretty retro ... but they really can't decide whether they're pretty or retro, and neither can you.

All I can conclude, Heigl, is that you are a pretty girl who does not want to be pretty. And that's just a big old waste.

I don't think its what she's wearing, I think its the way she's standing. Her left leg looks like its bending forward from the knee. Either this was taken at a weird angle, or Katherine is double jointed... really looking forward to the next season of Grey's.

I actually really like it, and I don't always like her. I think it needs different shoes. I like the shoes, but not here.

hem up two inches. boobs up two inches. then this is bloody perfect. I think the dress is divine, I want to eat it.

ditch the too early in the year effect.

the overall look is Xmas Parcel In Heels.

ditch the belt-ribbon. replace w/ wider belt.

ditch the Grinch Green. something about this color is just not working. it's an almost. add some teal, i think. then again, thats only doable in photoshop. IRL its WND [Whole Nother Dress].

i'd a-line the skirt but, then again, i like a-line skirts. not required.

i'd ditch the shoes cos theyre dull but other people will like them so it's an indeterminate call. subjective.

two sleeves or no sleeves. for heavens sake! as avant as i am--& i avant em all--i hate the stupidity of this type of asymmetry.

finally & possibly most importantly:
A GOOD BRASSIERE IS EVERYONES FRIEND.

I like the emerald green with her coloring- it works well w/her red hair too.

The dress (again, are 80's retro clothes the thing now?) is horrible.

Eliminate the top portion of the dress and make it either sleevless or w/cap sleeves. Plunge the neckline to a flattering v or u- she looks like a nice C/D cup and should highlight it w/out being vulgar. Also get properly fitted bra and undergarments to make dress fit even better.

I'd cinch the waist since she looks like she has a nice hourglass shape. Get rid of belt

I would make the lower part of the dress straight and get rid of that annoying ruching to the one side of the dress.

I like the peep toes but I don't think I like the Mary Jane touch- so I'd lose the strap across the foot.

For me I just couldn't get past the TAN!

Red hair, green dress... and a tan??

Ugh.

Her palette is just all.. blargh looking.
And colour is unforgiving. That dress IS terrible.. but she could have at least been vibrant looking, regardless of any misshapen sequin sacks.

Good morning .
I have something to say, about aloe vera, something about which you wrote above, about health and vitamins... For a long time, I and my good friend use the products of the FLP Company. We at all times see the good results and also we make money for our families and we are happy. My friend works with aloe vera in the company of forever living has more than 5 years (My friend works ONLY in the FLP Company and has a wife and three children). I know aloe Vera products for weight loss for a long time, but a year ago, began working as a distributor in the forever living products.
Of course, the job is some difficult, but in no other case, you really can earn so much much money with so much fun and good smiling faces around..
So if you want to discuss something about your post, and about my experience with Aloe products for beauty, I'll always be glad to talk.

Best regards from Seattle and have a nice day!
Andrew - Aloe Vera Distributor
