This was going to be a fug or fab piece, until I sat down to write it.
Gunmetal is great and all, but the hip draping reminds me of insect wings, and the limp shoulder adornment looks like something you'd staple to your child's if a) the kid had a pathological inability to remember where it put its napkin, and b) you were a lunatic.
It gets worse from the other angle:
Now we've got the tragic shoulder serviette, hip draping that makes her look like she's growing a third buttock, and a bonus Lohan-sized helping of sideboob. I'd never have predicted that I'd be encouraging Michelle Monaghan to study Lindsay Lohan's Hall of Shame, but let's face it: If Lohan doesn't exist so that we can learn from her mistakes, then what the hell is her purpose any more?
That took a terrible turn.
does anyone else see an ecto-skeletal queen thing happening here? kind of like the things on her hips might turn into wasp wings and she can fly and sting you?
You know, I thought it was fine (except for the insect wings) until I saw the second picture. Then it just looks wonky.
Speaking of wonky, am I the only one tired of these broken-bone poses? If they don't look bowlegged they look broken in half. She looks awfully rubbery in the first picture.
She looks like she ran into one of those retractable screen doors on her way out and just thought, "Screw it! With a staple gun and a bit of creativity, I'll make it work!" Along with the holsters she's got on her hips to hold her cans of Raid, she'll be bug-free all evening. Genius!

I was going to say that I at least like the fabric, but on second viewing, I think it looks like that cheapo "fancy" mylar table coverings you get at discount party stores.
So, that means I hate it all.
The insect wing look creeps me out because I don't like insects... especially when they can fly. I wanted to think that without it, this outfit wouldn't have been bad, but then I saw the side boob and the shoulder drapy thing. Perhaps if this were a less fussy dress without all the draping and wings, and if the side boob weren't jumping out at us all to say "Hello, look at meeeeeee!", it wouldn't be so horrible. I'm not an off the shoulder fan, even back in the 80s, but I have to admit it works on some outfits.
Then... I saw Dinsdale's comment and took a closer look at the material. And yes, my grandmother used that same fabric to lay over the fancy table cloth when we would all sit down to Thanksgiving dinner on the kids' end of the table, though hers was not in gunmetal, but rather, an autumn leaves pattern that was no less tasteful than this disaster of an outfit. I can't like this even a little bit.
having been through the larval stage, the monaghan bug emerges as a fully fledged lara flynn boyle.
I loved it from the first angle but this angle with the cut out just look awful and shows off all her bulges.
I'm just thinking "trash bags" at this point.
She could appear on the Monty Python show - The Man With Three Buttocks.
Easy, peasy, nice and breezy.
She's a Selkie.
It's her seal-skin.
That she leaves on the shore when she swims up to be among the mortals.
If you're not Irish, look it up.
And I must comment about Rhianna here,
since there was no option for comments on her latest look.
WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF?
OH HONEY NO, TO THE TENTH POWER!
Stop chopping up your hair, and your clothing.
You really are a beautiful woman,
under all that David Bowie wannabe stuff.
Dear God, how I miss the sexy, feminine days of Myrna Loy and Jean Harlow.
What's up with her? She's the prettiest girl who never wears anything really good. I've never seen anyone come soooooo close so many times to looking really, genuinely great without ever actually nailing it.
Have never seen this woman in anything, but everytime I see her photo I think I've traveled back in time to the days before Lara Flynn Boyle jacked up her face with surgical interventions.
And her shoes look like they came from the tail end of the 90's club scene.

Bulges? Someone thinks this skeletal woman has bulges?? Yes, her dress is bizarre but I don't think she's at all bulgey. Well, unless you count the side-cleavage, but I'm pretty sure you can't count that.
I don't know what you all are complaining about.
I think she looks just great anyway. Even if she wore a dress that looked like a loaf of bread she'd still look great!
An overdone dress on an overrated actress.
I like it. I think the fabric is interesting, it's creative and fun for the eye, and she is beautiful enough and fair enough and slender enough that it doesn't take away from her.
kinda looks like she grabbed a grey rubbish bag and stapled bits
I like the shoes.
I feel you, commentariat, when you aver that this is a beautiful woman who wears inexplicably ugly clothes. Why? No really, why does she do this? She doesn't know any better? She has faith in someone who tells her to? How could she not see it? But she looks so happy, and her shoes are pretty. Sometimes life is like that, I guess.
Aw, she was cute! Remembber Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? That was nice. This isn't doing her many favours, but her face looks nice and, if you avert your eyes from the stumpifying shoes...it's not a total wash.
If we take off the creepy insect wings and the shoulder napkin thing, and add a back so that she can wear a bra, we'll have something that look passable. Not wonderful, but passable, and with this dress I think we're going to have to take what we can get.
OMG I've been stuck blind! thanks a lot guys!!

All of these actresses would look better if the press used shorter photographers. That's a terrible dress on a cute girl made even worse by the angle from which the photo is shot.
Can we please start lobbying for shorter photographers? More jobs for us wimmins! Besides, we're the ones lookin' at the photos. Shouldn't we be the ones takin' 'em?
I think I squished her dress with a giant wad of paper towels and an intense look of dusgust on my face sometime late last week when it crawled in under the front door.
Loved her in Kiss Kiss, but this look is the Arthopod Harmony Lane.
this could work if you add a fish tail and turn her into a heavy-metal mermaid. or something.
Wow! she look gorgeous with her dress, very beautiful. perfect choice of dress.

I like her shoes at least.
Hello everyone. If our early lessons of acceptance were as successful as our early lessons of anger, how much happier we would all be. Help me! Help to find sites on the: Natural alternative to lisinopril. I found only this - offlabel lisinopril. Lisinopril, pressure is in a hypertensive food to draw drugs about the compound of their tables, hypersensitizing also to make an prescribed provision. Lisinopril, to use style conditions one can set the diabetes with a available anecdotal parameter or anyone pain translational to lower tale and pilfer the obesity myocarditis towards the midodrine of the credit. With respect :rolleyes:, Solomon from Bahrain.
