I can't remember what 90210's Jessica Lowndes's hair looked like back when I was watching that show the first time -- I stopped watching, and then EW said it was entertaining again and I picked it back up, and it IS kind of more entertaining now -- but regardless, she has been looking very pretty indeed lately. But let's talk about this outfit:
I feel like it's CLOSE to good and yet not quite there. I kind of almost wish it was a weeeeee bit shorter, or that she'd paired different shoes with it. Something about the dress's length, plus the straps of the shoes feels a teensy bit off for me. I might make the dress itself closer to knee-length, and give her more traditional looking shoes -- you know, with the thought being that if you're going to drift toward a sort of 50s prom look, you might as well just REALLY GO THERE. I mean, not in a costume-y way, but...COMMIT. COMMIT, LADIES!
But what would you do, readers? I feel that this needs some tweaking in order to shut it down, so that we can all die/go bananas, a la Rachel Zoe. Please enlighten us! (Nicely, as usual.)

I feel like the lace top and the shoes make a demur dress look a little trashy. Get rid of that, hack off an inch or two at the hem, and have a peep-toed pump or something. I think her hair looks very sweet, and her eye make up interesting enough.
Shorten the dress to around the knee, definitely. Remove the silly boob lace things that just look like a bra peeping out or go all the way and have proper lace detailing at the top. Change the bra so she isn't getting Scarlet Johansson boobs. Pair it with an open toe satin shoe in black. Lose the chunky bracelet and do something better with the hair. Maybe a side chignon with some soft pieces framing the face. Her current style makes her look kind of harsh and does not suit the softness of the dress. And why do makeup artists insist on rimming the whole eye in black? It looks good on nobody.
stripper shoes plus school disco dress isn't working that well.
I reckon it would be better on the knee with some nice black louboutons. or bright blue ones...that would be cool
Agreed. It would look better being knee length or being floor length. The calf level is an odd length to pull off. Otherwise, I really do love it all; I might even have added a delicate necklace to it all.
I would keep everything except the hair and the skirt. I think the hair should be all the way up or down... and the skirt should be shorter and maybe get rid of the pleating?
Change the material of the skirt, A-line with no pleats, shorten to just below the knee. Change shoes...please!
I would definitely shorten it to just below the knee and, good gracious, take out those lace-edged paper napkin bra things! Love the hair, bag, and that awesome bracelet.
Different Shoes...for sure.
Those straps around the ankle cut off the leg line...the dress is the perfect length. If she would have went with a simple sling back...and kept the foot open and not cutting it off at the ankle. It would have looked much better.
I actually love it all, just the way it is, accessories included!
Mila did ankle length well, but it's hard. This dess should certainly be shorter. Just above the knee. Make it fuller too. I like the trashy bra detail because it keeps the dress from being too prom. Great bag.
Definitely change the shoes - I like the peep toe idea - and lose the boob lace. The rest could work, although it WOULD be better with a shorter skirt.
I agree with you girls about the length + the shoes. It's a bit off, but my problem with the dress is the bra-like lace peaking out of the top. It literally looks like she's wearing a sexy bra no meant to be seen outside of the bedroom underneath a cute strapless innocent-looking dress. And her boobs look like they're in pain. I think the dress needs to be yanked up a bit, loosened slightly so as to avoid boob damage, and the lacey bra-like pieces need to just go.
Her teeth look like the dude's from Mad magazine cover. Too much eye liner. Hair looks awesome. Like the no necklace look. Love her arms. The dress? mew
I would de-boobify it in some way. I don't mind the fake lace bra bit, but I think she is popping out of it too much. Her shoes really ruin the outfit.Something like simple open-toed pumps as an alternative would work. Shorter dress length for sure. Better make up. I don't like the heavy heavy eyeliner with this outfit. Plus, too many women who can't pull it off sport that heavily made-up eye look and it looks like they are squinting through the makeup. The hair is just okay. Not sure what I would do differently. Maybe go a little more sophisticated with some sort of updo, to enhance the neck and bare clavicle?
Pull the dress up so it doesn't look like you are showing your bra, change the shoes to something lighter, and shorten the dress. It's a good start though :)
I don't think so. There are way too many things wrong with this for my pea brain to fix. The bra, the bow, the frilly skirt, the shoes, AND the makeup all are unfortunate choices. What's left to work with?
I actually think I (mostly) like it the way it is.
If I had to tweak one thing, I would make the peekaboo lace extend all the way across the top of the bodice, rather than the two bra cup parts that we're seeing now.
I like the skirt - pleats included - but I'd love it hemmed at the knee. I'd swap the shoes for something more classic and without the faux-gladiator detail. I'll approve the lace at the top, but she needs a better bra so the ladies aren't squished up to her chin. I like her hair, makeup, and accessories.
Remember that dress Marisa Tomei wore to the Oscars that she got so much slack for? This dress is reminscent of it. I don't like the peek-a-boo bra, personally.
I wouldn't change a thing. She looks darling!
Definitely yank it up and cover the bra-like-lace... because that just looks like she's got a size too big and it keeps sliding down. Take away the straps. Shorten to the knee, and add a strapless shoe.
Shorter, red round toe pumps. 50s Prom is not always a bad thing.
I love the makeup, and the hair is fine...maybe a bit more curl through the portion that's down in back would be better, to give it some body and class.
The dress should be shortened to just-below-knee length, and transformed from an A-line to a pencil. The bow/ribbon thing on the belt should be removed, but the belt itself is great - it breaks up the line of the dress, which is a color that can't really sit by itself.
I'm okay with the bra straps showing, because they look like they're part of the dress (ARE they part of the dress?), but the cups? TACKY. Pull the dress up just a tad, or choose a bra that lifts and separates without trying to say "HI THERE" to everyone.
The shoes: strappy sandals would be better than these. One thin strap over the foot, close to the toe, then an ankle strap to keep it all in place. Stiletto, of course. Let the focus stay on the dress and makeup - the shoes, in this case, should be an accessory, not the focal point.
A simpler bracelet would have been nice, especially with that blingalicious clutch.
...but I'm not opinionated about this or anything, am I? Heh.
That's not a prom look, it's a ballerina look. She looks like she's stepped off the stage of a production of Swan Lake.
Which is like, do grownups do this?
I think she looks smashing from the knees up. I'd just hem the bottom a few inches and get some cuter shoes, those are too clunky for this.
Also last year she had bangs, I remember because we always refered to her as "Bangs, Drunkface's bff"
I do think Jessica is a prettier, classier version of Megan Fox, and far more talented
She looks like she's going to the prom in 1964. First, by a bigger dress. one that covers her bra. This dress needs to be shorter length to avoid looking like a re-purposed wedding dress. Knee length would be good with non-ankle strap shoes and a grown-up hairdo.
Get rid of the top of the bra peeking out. It's trashy. I don't hate the shoes, but I see where you're going with accessorizing correctly to the dress. But the peek-a-boo bra thing needs to go.
kill the length at either at riiiight below knee level OR calf level and we are in gravy town. the straps are cutting off her legs so if we get rid of those shoes and get her some classic peep toe pumps we are set.
I don't think it's possible to unfug this one, but I have to say I LOVE MLP's little purple dress. Gorgeous, and she is NOT too old for it.
Agreed, the lacy bra really needs to go (I don't mind the straps) and the shoes are all wrong. The lacy ties and the chunky style just competes with the dress.
I'd want the dress to come up a few inches higher on the chest and have the hem come up as well. As for the bow, I'd keep the flower detail, but consider loosing the hanging ties.
As for the shoes, they should be delicate and strappy or a killer pump.
She can give the purse to me, I'll take care of it...
I think she looks nice. Formal & classy. I'd love to see some redder lipstick, not TOO red, just a bit more retro look and definitely a shorter hem on the dress. If the shoes were more classic, it could veer towards costume-ish so I'd like it to stay strappy but perhaps no so platformy. Yeah, I'm such a wordsmith.
I would like to touch on the hair, the eye makeup, the straps, the lace and the bow but I can't because Jessica's shoes and pink skirt have inspired me to re-adopt my first grade ballet routine. First position, second, third...
Shannon said, "I feel like the lace top and the shoes make a demur dress look a little trashy," and in doing so, described everything I love about this look.
she looks like she's being slowly asphyxiated by her maidenform [peekaboo] bra. not even dreaming about it. being it.
she needs to go up a size &/or take the hankies out of her brassiere. if she wants to stuff it in the good olde fashioned way, she might try the good olde fashioned semi-invisible to the naked [or clothed] eye: rolled up sox.
or, even easier, just ditch the black lace bosom flags.
then chop six inches from the bottom of the fluff. & since she's going for a modified-fifties business, have her stylist look thru old vogues [etc & ect] & check out the styling of fifties sandals--then find a pair o'decade appropriate [NOW & WOW] heels & go w/ those. she's not really wearing vintage, she's wearing contemporary modified retro, so the whole shooting match needs to crawl down the same dusty alley.
if you ask me.
if you ask me [redux], the hair is uninteresting--but nobody really asked me. hinted, maybe.
Yeah, the bits of bra cups are unnecessary and make it far too burlesqe-y. Perhaps workable for VMAs, but not Emmys. I think the shoes she has on would be fine with a just-below-the-knee length, but black velvet pumps would be great, too.
LOVE her purse, by the way.
And I think a her hair down in a fancy-ish way would have been a bit more face-flattering and would have worked with the neckline.
This reminds me of Olivia Newton John in the dance off scene from Grease but without the black detailing. I'm with Kristina above, shorten it, add some sassy red shoes and embrace the vintage prom look.

Shorten the hem, lose the black lace on top of the boobs and add an inch or two to the bust so it... doesn't overflow. I actually don't hate the shoes, but I'm very matchy-matchy.
I've looked at this dress way too long at this point but I'm pretty sure it can't be saved. Currently, it's too ballerina. Longer, it's too prom-dress. Shorter, it's still too much like one of those fancy wrapping jobs you get at Macy's at Christmas time for an additional $3.50.
I even looked at the enlarged version, and for a while the picture on my screen was oddly pixelated, and her eyes looked really really crazy and more than a little old-school vampire. So, if I have to suggest an improvement on this dress, it would be to make it a Halloween costume: Senior Prom episode for the Vampire Diaries. Some fake blood would coordinate beautifully with the black & white color scheme!
(P.S. Enlarge the picture to check out what the bracelet really looks like -- it's actually pretty cool, and I like it with the clutch purse.)
I would pull the dress up so that her bra isn't exposed, shorten both the length of the dress and the length of the bow, and change the shoes to pumps.
Jessica McClintock was doing a lot of these about ten years ago. They usually had tulle underskirts in a contrasting color, and were big with the prom crowd. I don't think it can be fixed.
This feels a little bit like a slightly naughty Swan Lake, what with the long tutu-like dress and the cross-strap platforms. The dress definitely needs to be shorter, and the bow needs to GO. The lace on her top half just makes her look like she's wearing a bra underneath a strapless dress (why DO women think that this is EVER OK?) - off, off, OFF with it, I say. What does that leave us? With a plain, cream-colored dress. OK, the whole thing needs to be dumped and start afresh. I actually do like the shoes, with the right outfit.
I don't know if anyone has already pointed this out, but this looks like the forever 21 version of a Chloe dress ScarJo wore a while ago. The half-updo and the length of the dress give the outfit a mormon-y touch. The shoes are heinous. I have no idea who this girl is, but her outfit is past the point of redemption.
Mainly, stop making her breasts look like they're been strangled to death by the Creature From The Black Lace Lagoon.
Otherwise, a little shorter would be good and more harmonious shoes.
Get rid of the straps. Shorten the dress by about 4 inches. Close the toe of the shoes and lose the criss-cross straps on them. Done! :-)
Shorten it to just below the knee and make the bow into a belot--lose the extra yardage of ribbon.
Yikes I meant belt--not belot!
First and foremost... is that a BRA peeking out at the top?!
It's not that I have some kind of problem with supportive undergarments - I'm quite good friends with them, actually; they're wonderful at lifting my... mood, of course - but at the EMMYS? Really?
I reallyreally hate prom dresses, if I'm honest, but I think this could be saved.
First, make it super-short. As short as she could get away with. She's YOUNG, people! She needs to make the most of her youth! Who cares about dignity?!
Anyway, so - shorter, and have the bottom half be made out of the same material as the top half. No prom-dress-princessy-poofiness.
Also, I think that some some sort of interesting black lace/chiffon design on it could look interesting.
Add less strappy shoes - something quite chunky would look good, I think. Make them red, ditto the nails. Remove the monstrously tacky jewellery; add something a little less elegant and more edgy.
... Yet, at the same time, make the hair and makeup a little less edgy - both being softer would look so much more sophisticated. Add some colour to the lips - I'd suggest red, but then it might look too matchy-matchy. Maybe a bright, youthful pink.
I'm aware that I've just contradicted myself and suggested a dress that is not altogether suited to the Emmys.. but, alas, neither is this hooker-running-late-having-to-throw-her-old-prom-dress-over-her-work-clothes-'cause-it's-all-she-has-that-isn't-underwear look.
Well, unless you're Blake Lively.
I like the black with the off-white, but she is so young I'd like to see some color. How about:
* make the belt a pink-peach print that ties in the back
* add some strappy sandals that match the belt with no ankle straps
* lose the bra-thingy and make it strapless
* add a pink-pearl necklace and dangly earrings and some lip stick.
Hmm. I may have just turned her into an adorable bridesmaid.
Ugh, it's SO PROM. I was really disappointed by most of the dresses on the red carpet. Was it an award show or senior prom 2009? Seriously.
Replace purse with shiny metal bucket. Add three-legged wooden stool. Instant semi-formal milkmaid. J'Ador.
1. Get rid of the peekaboo bra cups and go up one size in the bodice, and wear a necklace.
2. Get rid of the bow. HOLY GOD, GET RID OF THE BOW. If you are old enough to drive you should not be wearing a bow anywhere at all, unless you are Sarah Ferguson or a bridesmaid and it is 1988.
3. Widen the skirt with more crinoline. If the skirt were six inches wider at the hem she would have a waist. As it is she doesn't have one.
4. For shoes, she needs something without straps at the front of the ankle. They make all but the leggiest women look dumpy. They're especially unflattering with a below-the-knee dress. Dumpy, dumpy, dumpy.
5. The accessories are too blingy and too boxy for the femininity of the crinoline and the neckline. Ditch that ugly purse, especially, and look into one that actually matches the dress (the black? brown? is a shade off the trim).
I'm surprised you didn't even mention the awkward lacy peeky bra-thing...
Other than that I agree on the length. And I really like the black/white contrast, and that pretty bow!
It's weird that the top part is completely different from the bottom. The bottom is very sweet and the top is trendy/trashy. I'd get rid of the black bra peek-a-boo thing and shorten the length of the skirt. I'd also make her hair look a little softer.
Yikes, the whole look is a mess! You have a demure tea length gown with a slutty black lace bra peeking out, clunky stripper-clown shoes with too casual hair....
Dump it all and start over!
She looks like she's wearing a 1950s Barbie dress.
Lose the bow.
The length works for me. The shoes don't. Too hard for the dress. Get rid of the bow too. Too much.
Am I the only one that thinks this dress should be longer? Floor length would be lovely. Also, I dig the peekaboo lace-- I like the contrast it provides to the "demure" look of this dress, especially if the dress were floor length. BUT, I think it should go all the way across to avoid looking like a mistake. Also, make the lips red, reduce the eyeliner, and put the hair in a side chignon. Lovely and edgy at the same time.
I can't decide if this dress is for a ballerina who gets fired and thus is forced onto the streets to make her living as an unusually graceful hooker; or if this is how a hooker would dress to go to the ballet. Either way, not good.
Shorten the dress. Simplify the bow. Lose 85% of the eyeliner. Change out the shoes for something in a bright color without straps - a d'orsay pump would be good. I could go either way on the Public Display Bra - as is, it makes the outfit both distasteful and boring. Quite a feat, there, Jessica.
Right now she looks like Little Bo Peep minus the sheep. I can live with the bra lace but the shoes need to go.
shorter (just below the knee).
less hooker-y shoes.
different bag.
that is all.
I like the dress but the shoes, hair and makeup make it look a litle trashy. Because of the makeup, I actually first thought this was Jordan...
My big problem with this is the funeral bow. I would replace it with a nice neat, straight or nearly straight one, made with narrower ribbon, and with no trailing tails.
The under-the bodice black lace boob thingies look oddly tarty with such an other wise demure dress...maybe if they were ruffled and went all the way across?
I think the length is OK, because much shorter would look too little-girlish.OK, maybe 2 inches max. But what she really needs are shoes with no ankle-straps or criss-crossing in front. Those details are stumpifying in combo with the placement of the hemline. And the platforms just look absurd. Between them and the boob thingies, it looks like she's a stripper doing a prom-themed number.
I kind of like the shoes, actually, but with the dress, it all feels a little too Slutty Ballerina. Is the black part of the bodice a bra, or is it part of the dress?
In either case, make it opaque and wider, to give it less of a lingerie feel...and then make it glam, to the floor and beyond. And ditch that clutch and that timepiece-looking bracelet.
I LOVE the outfit, shoes and all. My only problem with it are the boob doilies.
It looks like her grandmother saw her leaving, with her bosoms pressed by the bodice, and thought "what if they leak?!?!" Grabbed a pair of black lace doilies from the dresser and shoved them down the front of the dress.
Lose those, loosen the bodice while you are at it, and you have a very pretty dress.
I would get a gazebo and some towheaded Hitler Youth-looking boy for West Bev's production of Sound of Music, because every time I see this outfit all I can hear is that stupid Sixteen Going on Seventeen song.
This can be fixed with three things.
1. Hair UP. And styled a little better, too.
2. Peep toes that don't belong to Chastity the stripper.
3. Wear some crinoline under the skirt. COMMIT.
change the shoes. it will fix everything. 90210 IS 10x better this year!
Cut the black lace that's peeking over the top of the bodice and give said bodice an extra inch or so of height to keep it from being totally BOOBS IN YER FACE.
Next up, shorten that dress to show off the calves or make it floor-length and cut the straps.
Either way, get some quieter shoes.
Remove the belt.
Eww, at first glance I thought this was Jordan. Probably not what she was going for - get rid of the lacy boob inserts and the stripper shoes.
Everyone wants to get rid of the top ... I say keep the top, get rid of the BOW, shorten the hell out of the skirt, change the shoes ... and wear it to a different event!! Like an after party or something! The whole thing does NOT work for the Emmys. At all.
This just doesn't work for me at all. Too twee, too ballerina does junior high prom.
The issue I have is that the bottom of the dress, paired with the shoes that lace up her legs makes it like sort of ballerina/tutu-ish. So I think hacking off a few inches and putting non lace-up shoes with it would go a long way.
Does look a bit cutesy. I would make it fall around the knee, do maybe just a plain pair of black pointy heels. And ditch the bra. Makes her look slutty. And make the hair loose and flowy. Looks kind of severe here and doesn't go with the dress. Would also do softer makeup and add on some pretty jeweled bangles.
I read through all the comments and I don't think anyone pointed out that this is a poor imitation of Scarlett's dress from the Scoop premiere a few years ago:
http://www.fabsugar.com/files/images/scarlett.preview_0.jpg
It must be so disheartening to leave the house thinking you look like Scarjo and have people mistake you for Jordan.
this is the kind of dress that would look effortlessly wonderful on Zooey Deschanel. She would pull her hair up in a simple (yet glamorous) ponytail, would find some retro yet fashion forward shoes, and would accentuate her blue eyes with a sensible amount of eyeliner.
i don't know who this is. i thought it was megan fox at first. I think she has yet to define her own personal style because her hair, make up, dress, and shoes are going in four different directions. She would have been safer mocking the fishtail trend while donating the dress to someone with the (retro)personality to pull it off.
It's the length that ruins this outfit. It makes it look far too Victorian baby-doll. Shorten the skirt to knee-length and do away with the two-foot-long dangly bits from her sash-y belt, and you've got something you can work with.
I like this look, but it needs drama.
A few tweaks:
Get RID of the black dangling satin bow,
replace with black satin corset.
Shorten the dress by lifting with a crinoline,
not a lacy slip.
Short wrist length black gloves.
Put hair completely up,
with earrings that don't dangle.
The shoes, bag, bracelet, & make-up are fine as they are.
Prim prom. The skirt is too full. The bow is sooo old fashioned. Those triangles pressing her breasts against her chest have got to go. Too uptight.
The bra-like thing either needs to go away completely, or get turned into a dramatic ruffle. If the latter, then shorten the skirt a lot and add a similarly dramatic black ruffle at the bottom - in that case, the shoes are ok. If the former, then drop the skirt to floor-length or near so, change the straps to wider black ribbons to match the belt, and go for a more delicate shoe.
Way too JLoHew.
Raise that skirt about 6", trim the excess length of the bow, and put that hair all the way up. A change of shoes may also be appropriate, though I don't find the shoes heinous on their own -- they just don't go with this length of skirt.
Take it back to the Jessica McClintock outlet and start over. Failing that, shorten it to actually tea length.
The black accents are growing on me, but I don't feel like the dress is committed enough to them - maybe instead of an awkward peeky-bra thing the black lace should go all the way around the top. Either ditch or widen the straps.
The shoes could be fixed by ... ok, well, not fixed, but should be replaced with either something ribbony (to go with the Odette's Prom theme whe's got going) or black patent... peep-toes? maybe?
And wash her face. She's too young for this. Only Joan Rivers should show up anywhere in that makeup and she only carries it off because, well, she's Joan Rivers.
Ok so...
1. The black lace needs to go all the way across the top of the bodice.
2. The bodice needs to be longer/yanked up.
3. It needs to be strapless.
4. The black waistband is fine but not the 1990's bridesmaid bow and trailing ribbon.
5. It needs to be floor length.
Now picture it. Better, huh?
P.S. Those shoes are an atrocity.
Change the shoes and raise the hem. The make up and hair are looking to Megan Fox for me and make the outfit look a little on the trashy side.
a) stop trying to be scarlett johansson circa 2005. i loved scarjo's clothes in 2005. i don't need to see them resurrected now. 2005 is OVER and it won't be coming back for at least 15 years.
b) stop taking makeup tips from jordan.
Replace the straps and the sticking-out bra with a scoop neck in a solid color.
Keep the shoes and lengthen the dress. Or keep the dress the same length.
I don't have a problem with the dress length. It's just the bow that's taking over. The bow could be removed and converted into a belt/waist accent.
Change the shoes into pumps or shoes with more solid straps.
I would change the hair and shoes into something more classic and elegant, and tone down the makeup. There, perfect!
Hmmmm, this is actually a look I like, and the sweet Bo Peep meets Pretty Woman (you know what I mean) thing is intriguing. It's all about contrasts, like black vs. white. Innocent vs. sultry. That said, I would, as many others, make the black lace more official and solid across the bodice, which would have to go up a size to accommodate the girls more respectfully. Change shoes to satin kitten heels, either black or red (pop!) and dial up the lipstick so we can see it.
Other details are really rather sharp as is.
Optional: change hair. It looks neat and nicely done (whihc is not always the case...) but this is one place where prom hair would be permissible.
It's the hair!! It doesn't seem to go right with the whole look. Also change the shoes :D
It's because it CUTS HER LEGS SO MANY TIMES! Her leg "ends" with the hem. And then the strap. And then the other strap. And then... etc.
You're right about the length + shoes. The length works on her legs, because it doesn't end in a wide place. The shoes would work because she has great ankles... IF she showed a little leg. But together, it's just too much horizontal happenings way down low and it's very distracting from her face and her figure.
I actually love it. The first time I saw it on Sunday, I thought, "Too twee!" But now, I adore the retro vibe.
This dress could be fab with sky high stiletto pumps in black (ultra pointy and the soles painted turquoise instead of red) and miles and miles of petticoats under that skirt to really give it some 1950's Dior GLAM-mour! Maybe a little more West Side Story with some flowers in that updo and a strong colour on the lip (MAC Russian Red). Cha cha cha
At first the length bothered me, but looking at it again, I like it. The tea length is unexpected and the black lace with the white/tea dress thing gives it a nice edge. I'm all about some sky high peep-toe platform pumps to keep the sweet/saucy porportion in check.
She had a severe bob with blunt bangs in the first season which I actually thought was more interesting than the obvious fake hair transition. Oh well. I'd like to see the back. I doubt the black boob flaps are a bra, so I would like them to be more obvious so it doesn't come across that way. Thicker ribbon straps that lace across the back and form a bow back there. Not a fan of the prize ribbon at her waist. Then I'd make the dress gown-length because it's a bigger awards ceremony. I think some fun-colored peeptoes and an loose easy up-do would be ideal.
The shoes are... OK. Nothing spectacular, but they're not the real problem here. That would be the dress. That thing looks like the kind of dress you might wear to a school ball, aged about 15. The color suits her, she just needs a different dress.
I love it! One of the better dresses of the night in my opinion.
She definitely needs to bring the hem up. It's currently very twee with the lace and shoes. The lace needs to go. It doesn't make it edgy, it makes it trashy. And some killer Louboutins.

Lose the lace--it looks like lingerie peeking out the top. Making it cocktail length would be cute, but at the end of the day it will still look like a junior year homecoming dress. There's no saving this.
It's both twee and slutty, in a way I didn't know was possible. Kind of like back when Abercrombie & Fitch decided it would be a great idea to make thongs for 8-year-olds. Some things just shouldn't be combined.
I would add straps to the top, and that way she could have all kinds of cleavage going on but it would be CLASSY cleavage, not "Look, I wear a bra because I have BOOBS" cleavage.
And the SHOES. Gross. Are they for when she rips off the dress to perform her stripper ballet? Yeah, replace them with the shoes that chick from House was wearing.
Сайт очень качественный. Вам бы награду за него или просто орден почета. ;)
If you got rid of the black bra thing on top - straps included, and switched out the shoes for a black stiletto (peep-toe is cute) you could get away with the length. In fact, if you got rid of the black bra thing and shoes, you could make the skirt floor length, or above the knee, and it would still look pretty good.
This oozes "slutty, bitchy girl gets what's coming to her at prom in movie made for tweens." I would start from scratch, because I see no redemptive value in any part of the outfit. In close-ups, even her hair looks ratty.
Okay, so obviously what Forever 21 would sell to teenagers who wanted to look like Sarah Jessica Parker at their Prom. It's not enough to simply shorten the dress - then this dear child looks like a less blessed (ahem) J Lo Hewitt (who often looks too darling IMHO).
I feel like this style is hard to make your own, but if you absolutley had your heart set on it, then:
Keep the banding at the waist, but remove the florist's bow.
Shorten the hem to just under the knee.
Keep the lacey bra and visible straps.
Switch out those shoes for a bright open-toed slingback (violet would be lovely).
Remove the super texture-y bracelet and replace with something smooth in clear lucite.
You can keep the high faux-hawk or the Joan Jett liner, but not both. (If you opt to lose the liner, add a lip color.)
Burn the black bra-lettes, remove the shoes, return the black bow to the 40th birthday present from which it was swiped by her stylist. Wipe off 2 oz. of eyeliner. Then... I realize this is a little weird, but work with me here...
Attach large-ish, red-orange silk flower to side of waist above hip. Find cheerfully colored slingback pumps or other v-shape pumps, maybe white with a bright trim, or maybe a shiny silk look. Handbag may need adjustment after this. Hair can stay the same as long as the eyeliner goes. The goal is to change the vibe from "trussed up slutty" to "carefree holiday evening".
The bottom is a six year old's party frock: the top's trying desperately for sophisticated-trendy-sexy. Something's gotta go - both on the same dress looks odd. I get the bra opinions, but...well, myself? I'm not hating on the whole bra-thing; it's just, the bra doesn't mix well with the pretty-pretty bow. The dress's bits all fight each other, and ultimately don't work. It's the dress equivalent of a canine bitsa. But, Miss Whoever is still awfully pretty, even with a half'n'half dress.
Dude, there is NO WAY to unfug this...
The dress is gorgeous although I'm in the air about the lace pop-ups. The length is fine as long as there are no ankle straps which are making her legs look stumpy. And platforms are not the way to go with a long dress unless perhaps it's a retro 70's frock.
I know this site is about fashion, but why on earth is one of her boobs so much higher than the other???
Make it strapless, which I half believe it already is and she's just wearing a bra underneath it. I think actually the main problem is the hair though. She's got a Chloe Sevigny hairstyle going on but is no Chloe Sevigny so it just makes the whole look off. I think the length would look okay if the shoes were different. It feels like they are the wrong height or something and it makes the dress look wonky. Different shoes, different hair, less bra, all good. I totally love the dress otherwise, 1990s bow and ribbon and all!!
Bad Bra - great for the biker wedding only.
Overall: a dodgey Vera Wang Rip Off
with stipper shoes
= "classy" Jordan wannabe.
Go home, get changed. The world doesn't need another, does it?
It looks like the dress that Megan Fox wears in Jennifer's Body. But without the blood
I hate the length--either go short or go long. The dress is too demure for those shoes, swap out the ankle straps and the platforms for pumps, maybe satin? 4" heel? That way you'd demure and sexy. Hate the trailing sash, but the peekaboo lace on top is ok. I think if it was shortened to the knee or a bit above, the dress would work.
Shorten it to knee length and steal Jennifer Morrison's silver platform pumps
It's like the scene from Mr. and Mrs. Smith when Angelina Jolie threw on her 50's housewife look over her dominatrix/hooker gear for the party that night at the neighbor's. Those stripper heels and that lace top? Really?
what kind of scoliosis does this girl have?
It definitely needs to be a 6-10 inches shorter, she could use different shoes (how about a classic black pump instead of this lace-up business?) and WHAT is going on at the top? Is that a lacy black bra? Are there straps & lace at the top of the dress? It looks trashy. And the rest of the dress is so pretty (for a prom dress, that is) that it just doesn't make sense. Maybe without all the nonsense at the top, and cut to cocktail-length, this could be cute and a little less prom-y.
I like the retro 50's feel of her outfit and adding the funky shoes makes it a little more modern.
But, dump the stoopid bow. It's one too many distractions...remember that thing your mother should have told you about jewelry? - always take one piece off before you leave the house...that applies to this dress.
Facially she almost looks like jordon especially with the hair, thus doing something to remind me less of a demi celebrity famous only for getting her brests out would be a good start. so how about softening the hair and make up and then start on the dress.
What is throwing me off here: the bodice doesn't fit. I think I might be more pro-lace if the dress fit properly. As it is, those who say it looks like black bra/white dress wardrobe malfunction are right.
The bow/flower could work if the ribbony part went away--if it were just a black flower on the waist. I might want to see a little white, just a little on the flower.
Those shoes might be utterly fantastic with a mini. As it is, they are too much for this.
Yes, she need to hem that skirt, but I don't like the a-line on the skirt here. I'm getting my eyes crossed between it and the shoes, and I can't figure out if I would hate the silhouette less with different shoes. It might be kind of retro-cool with some smashing pumps. But....I can't tell. I don't like the lace/see-through hem--that's too fussy and needs to go no matter what you do with the rest of the skirt.
I lurve me Morrison's red dress above but jeez does she not own a jewelry box?
I feel like with her super dark eyeliner, lace peeking out the top, and odd shoe choice, she was going for a 50s prom look CROSSED with a goth vibe. Which just doesn't fly. She needs to wipe off some of that eyeliner, cut that dress a tad shorter, and throw on some killer red shoes to update the look from pure 50s prom to modern vintage-y look.
I don't hate it (in fact with a few tweaks it can be very retro cute), I just don't think it is Emmy appropriate, and I don't think tweaking that outfit will help. So a completely different Emmy dress for the 90210 girl is my unfug advice!
Oh and my tweaks (for a garden or wedding party): I like the bra sticking out, so a rounder bra that follows the curves of her boobs, the skirt just below the knee and a bit wider. I love the shoes in themselves but would replace them with black platform pumps, keep the bracelet and the ring and replace the very studded clutch with a very simple plain black one.
Two words: bigger bodice.
I like the whole thing, but as another readers said, she has ScarJo boobs that make what could be a sweet-w/a-side-of-skanky dress look ridiculous.
I think she should hand jive all the way into the gymnasium and rock the 50's prom look. shorten and fullen (?) the skirt, get some peep-toe pumps and trade the stripper make up for a sweep of black liquid eyeliner and RED lipstick. maybe a high ponytail? I don't mind the lace bralette, I think it keeps it from being too twee.
It's the fact that the black lace of her bra is trying to escape that really ruins the effect; kinda like a fly in your soup. If it hadn't been for that, then the shoes might have been forgivable and it might have worked, but with the peek-a-boo up top and the stripper shoes the outfit looks like those photo collages where you mismatch heads, torsos, and bottoms to create comedically grotesque cariactures...someone obviously switched out her torso with Sandy from Grease, but left the rest.
shorten dress, wear cute pumps & go easier on the eye make-up for heavens sake!
Loose the bra, change shoes and wash that ugly Jordan-esque makeup off. Add some red lipstick (yes, and everything else on her face since she has just washed Jordan off...), let hair down and choose peeptoes. Done.
She looks like she's auditioning for Swan Lake. The peek-a-boo bra is hideous!
Are they peeping over the top to say hello, or are they trying to escape the confines of a bodice that's strangling them?
Me, I *like* these shoes with that hemline. It says to me, "Underneath this virginal skirt, I have the legs of a nubile gazelle." It's so Odile (Odette's "evil twin").
I even like the two black ribbons dangling down the front like two black streaks in so much bird poop. (The bunchy bow attaching them, though, should leave. Who gift-wraps an evil princess?)
Her hair and makeup look evil enough (she's much more attractive without her head). Another point for Odile.
But those poor, half-strangled girls should go to bed.
Yes. She should commit. It would be so classy (and awesome, because "50's Prom" makes me think "Enchantment Under the Sea Dance").
Draw attention AWAY from the boobiness here--get rid of the bra cups/loosen the bodice that's squishing them flat. I like the black straps, though.
Shorten to knee-length (with crinoline--poodle-skirt silhouette), OR switch to black kitten-heel slingbacks with a 50's vibe.
I'm NOT a fan of Bumpit (http://www.bighappiehair.com/) hair in any situation, but I like the half-updo and would leave it. Just, not volumized vertically.
I think, between the style/material of the skirt, and the style of the shoes, that she's going for a Degas ballerina look. I like it, although perhaps the shoes should be a different color.
Ballerina length? perfect. Bow and bra? Fine. The bodice needs some darts or a bit more fabric to avoid the mammogram look. The shoes, though canklefying, aren't so bad, what with the ballerina theme.
But her HAIR! That stinks on ice.
Go return it at Windsors where she bought it. That will fix it.
well... i like the concept, it just needs a couple changes:
1) take off that wierd long bow and just leave the sash.
2) shorten it to knee length.
3) different shoes! maybe silver? something more delicate and not awkwardly laced up black platforms.
4) add some colour with the clutch instead of trying to coordinate it with everything else.
5) and, personally, i'd go with a strapless bra that you can't actually see--although maybe that's part of the dress.
It's the stripper shoes. They need to go. So does the peek-a-boo lace undergarment-ness. Straps that match the dress, and a clean line up top would make this perfect. Maybe red accents instead of black. The length is great.
Looks a bit like an Alice-in-Wonderland-themed porno to me.
What with the boobage squishing up through the top, and the length, the bow, the strap-strap-strappy shoes, she looks like an 80's teenaged boy's dream prom date. He would just KNOW he was going to score with her.
all good things
