Evan Rachel Wood in Alexa Chung for Madewell

JESUS CHRIST ON A BREADSTICK, girl! Could you please STOP being so fuck-you fabulous ALL THE TIME? We would like to start handing out the WERQs to someone other than you every once in a while!

Oh, Evan Rachel Wood. Let’s not stay mad at each other. But would you mind it if we didn’t drop to our knees at the sight of you all the time? It’s not that we don’t want to; it’s just that we don’t think our knees can take much more.

But you keep WERQing that Rosemary’s Baby shit, girl! Snaps up! Love your boots!

sigh…. I’d lust over her but that would put me in the lech category.

This is madness. Anyone else would look ridiculous and twee, and she’s WERQing.

I give up.

…Really? Just because it’s referential of something great doesn’t make it great. The sleeves are too voluminous and it’s doing weird things to her bust. The headband was a poor choice for her hairstyle and it’s all just a little too…mod nun for me.

      Really? I think she looks dumpy from the easter basket makeup to the potato sack fit. I guess it takes all kinds.

        Agreed! I think she’s been doing well recently but I think TLo have an Anya-like affectation toward this one. Certainly she’s come a long way since her dating-Marilyn-Manson days, but she is no fashion icon, not to me at least.

        Is it so unbelievable to you when faced with an opinion you don’t share that you have to start each comment with “Really?”
      - MilaXX
        
        I’m guilty of starting sentences with “Really?” as well. However it has been pointed out to me it’s sort of like starting a post with “Um”. In other words no matter how it may sound when you say it in real life, online it comes across as the cyber equivelent of an eye roll. It’s a bad habit I’m trying to break.

        I try not to use well/um/er/really or other throat clearing sentence starters now too. I remind myself that if I won’t allow the kids I teach to use cool/interesting/awesome/nice/very/sort of when they write, I have to pay attention to my own lazy writing habits as well.

        That’s fair. Considering I rarely found Mila’s aesthetic fashionable or flattering, this look isn’t really to my taste and I probably didn’t give it a fair, impartial judgment.

TLo, on behalf of your faithful minions, when you do get a chance to interview her, will you please ask her about her skin care routine???? JESUS CHRIST, talk about a perfect canvas on which to paint “fabulous”.

  Seriously true – her complexion is a.maz.ing.

It’s interesting that Alexa Chung designed this dress because I feel like Alexa Chung wears this exact outfit (and to some extent so do Zooey Deschanel and Michelle Williams) all the time, and whenever she does I always want to slug her because she looks like an adult in a Madeline schoolgirl costume. So how is ERW pulling this off? She looks really great and I’m not annoyed at all. Props to ERW, or whoever is styling her.

  It’s her confidence. She wears clothes, they don’t wear her.
  - Joseph Davidson
    
    Agreed. With her it’s not about the clothes, it’s about how she looks in the clothes.

  Chung always looks like she’s wearing the exact same thing. When she first popped up on TV I thought she was very stylish but she wore it out fast.

Oh she looks so great! And for once the dress on the model looks like an old dishrag.

Though I’m not really a fan of that style of dress, she’s WERQing it as well as one possibly could. I think I have a new fashion idol.

Can anyone identify those boots please?? WANT!
Sara__B

Red carpet appearances must be such fun for her. I love this mid-to-late 60s look and she’s wearing it well, but it’s her oh-so-prim posing that takes it to another level. She’s certainly the one to watch on the red carpet right now. (I even enjoy her increasingly rare missteps, but I’m not sure you’re going to share them with us, T Lo.)

Oh TLO,she looks so cute. I like her very much and I LOVE the boots. That’s exactly what I want (but for wide calves and slightly chunkier heels for brick streets–I hate brick streets).

  I’ve been seeing some really cute wide calf boots this season

    Cool. I will keep my eyes open. I really want a nice, not too tragically expensive pair of sleek, black, heeled boots. It’s kind of like my white whale.

      I’m a bargain shopper and DSW and Marshalls both had a huge selection of boots. And I’m 5’9″ size 11 and I still had a lot to choose from.

        Cool. DSW doesn’t ever have my size in the store (they do online however). I will have to check them out. Thanks

You’d think she could give us SOMETHING to bitch about at least every once in a while. But NO!!!
She has to go & do this!
- Sara__B
  
  If you want to be able to bitch just a little, see if you can find her in an Alessandra Rich black gown with sheer panels at Elle’s recent Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute. She’s having a bad hair day, and the dress and her attitude both seem to be lacking a bit.

How do make such a ridiculous dress look fabulous and chic? ITS JUST NOT FAIR
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=25500124 Eric Jacobs

This looks pretty shapeless and sloppy to me! Her awkward schoolgirl pose isn’t helping the situation, and if it were styled a little bit more like the model-shot, it would’ve opened her up much more. At least take off either the tights or the boots. You can’t have both, girl!!
- Tom Shea
  
  Why not? She looks great.

The tongue-in-cheek is so evident in the styling, I can’t even be mad at her for looking like something out of hentai.

I absolutely looooove that dress. Boots and dark hose were a nice touch.

Love the entire look. Because…parroting PR judges…I would totally wear that!

Agree with other posters–she outshines the model by a mile.
Anonymous

She got it all right here, didn’t she? Buttoned up and covered up without looking either twee or matronly. She managed to bring a little edge with the stiletto boots. She could maybe ditch the headband, but I like the teased up bit behind it, so I won’t quibble there.

WERQ, indeed!

I want to have so much of The Sex with her right now. Even though she probably isn’t waering those boots. I’d ask her to wear the The Sex Boots, though.

I’m so glad she got rid of the burlesque schtick. She looked great in it, but it was just too much when it was all the time. I like her mixing it up so much more.

Yeah, I hate Peter Pan collers, especially buttoned up to the top, but she werqing it. She has her edgy attitude and those killah boots, which keep it from being too precious.

Love this look! WERQ that Twiggy-ness gurl!

I wonder who would win in a WERQ-ing it face off! Evan Rachel Wood or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley? My money is on Rosie. I love Evan but Rosie has this aura of “Fabulous Fucking Goddess” that I just can’t resist.It might be the 3 named thing. Three names, 3x the Fierceness! <3333

I keep seeing Wednesday Addams. Just needs braids.

“Jesus Christ on a Breadstick” You boys sure know how to coin a phrase.

  Wednesday Addams was indeed WERQING a 60s mod look, but that is sheer coincidence as the cartoons on which the show was based were drawn long before the 60s.

I love that dress!! She looks so cute in it. I think those great, sexy boots add just what it needs to make it more of a grown-up look. I really like her hair and makeup, too.

Reminds me of the mod Carnaby Street vibe, in a very good way. And tights–love ‘em. Well played, sophisticated and ladylike. Let’s bring back ladylike as a good thing, albeit not in a stuffy way. I’ll even go for a few strands of pearls.

I feel quite proud of myself. I wear this outfit all the time. I don’t look like a fucking goddess, but I can pretend for a moment we are equals. Wooooot.

Attitude is everything: she looks good, she KNOWS she looks good, and there’s the WERQ. I don’t get “Rosemary’s Baby”, although that’s not a bad analogy. I keep thinking schoolgirl….maybe from the old “Madeline” books? (the collar is different but I think the vibe is the same). And yes, she looks much better than the model. Buttoning that top button just NAILS the look.

Adorable! I wish she hadn’t worn the dark hose with it though, it would have been cuter with nude hose. And I’m reminded of a “Designing Women” episode where Julia gets her head caught in the staircase of the Governor’s mansion, and the ladies have to change her dress there on the stairs. Suzanne’s first concern is Julia’s pantyhose: “I think these pantyhose are too dark for this dress!” To which Julie replies, “Oh, my goodness. Suzanne, do something. That could be embarrassing. I
mean, in 45 minutes when the finest people in Georgia are gathered here
before me, I wouldn’t want anyone to say, ‘Did you see that woman with
her head stuck in the staircase? Yes. That woman the Governor just
stepped over? Don’t you think her pantyhose are a little dark for her
dress?’”

I’m starting to think that dating Marilyn Manson has some sort of magical powers. I mean, Miss Dita was already FABULOUS before…but she’s like ultra-mega-fab since. And Rose McGowan? Well, she was hot-on-a-stick until (it seems) she started doing things to her face lately. And now Miss Evan.

Makes you wonder…

She’s totally cute. I like that dress, in general and in specific, but I don’t think this is one of her most exciting looks.

Seriously, that’s kind of my thing. The boots and the mini’s and the tights.
And she looks better than me. Of course. sigh…now wtf am I going to wear tomorrow?
You guys ask ERW about her skin care routine and I’ll see if my therapist can squeeze me in early-morning.
So much work to do. She’s IN by the way. duh.

one of the best things about her is that she looks like the slightly wacky, funny, pretty-but-not-too-pretty girl who works for the project manager who shares an office w/ the project manager for whom you work.

but in better clothes, of course.

i don’t think the boots flatters her. Look cheap.

I have always liked ERW, but she has REALLY turned up the fabulous this past year. I’m so glad she got over that Goth faze, it was not a great look on her! Her true calling is couture diva!

Part of me is all WERQ! SO FABULOUS! but there is a little voice inside of me saying “Is she trying to be the slutty nun and/or pilgrim for Halloween this year?” And that little voice can not be ignored entirely, so I’ll give her an IN, but not a true WERQ

  Although to be fair, that would be the most demure “slutty nun” Halloween costume EVER.

Theory 1: There are now two Twiggys, because Young Twiggy From the Past found herself a time machine and fast-forwarded to join us in 2011.
