WERQ: Michelle Williams in Christian Dior

Posted on Feb 16, 2012 in Fashion

Miss Michelle? A word.

Michelle Williams attends premiere of “My Week with Marilyn” in Paris in head-to-toe Christian Dior.

Christian Dior Spring 2011 Couture Collection/Model: Joan Smalls (IMG)

Two words, actually: Thank you.

You see, we are, at this very moment, wrangling luggage packed with 8 days’ worth of Fashion Week outfits through Penn Station and onto an Amtrak train, which, as you can imagine, is leaving us quite stressed and frazzled. We just don’t have the time or energy at the moment to discuss the ins or outs of your look, dear. So imagine how happy we were to see you in this and realize we have not one critical thing to say. You WERQ that twee-as-fuck shit, girl! Sure, it’s a “Princess Barbie goes to The Oscars” dress, but we don’t care. You look fabulous, darling. Snaps up!

Okay, that was way more than two words.

She does love the “girly-girl”, doesn’t she?

  Apparently I’m a lot more girly than I thought, because I love this too. It’s so frilly and French, according to what I thought was French when I was eight. But I love it!
Greg Yoder

Yeah, she’s princess, but she’s kind of princess-with-an-attitude in those shots. She looks great.

Wow you guys must have loaded up in NY-that is one backhanded WERQ!!
I suppose if you were going for princess barbie it would be a WERQ but can we actually get past the pink elephant in the room?

That shoe is too heavy. Other than that, fabulous!

    I think if she didn’t have the extra height, she might be too short for the key aspect of the gown–the shape of the hem and skirt–to work, though. It might just turn into a pink ballgown, without the interest of the “i’m a tulip bulb!” aspects.

Two things:

First, yes: brava! Very well done.
Second, I think this clinches it. I am not a fan of twee. I hereby recuse myself from further judgment of Michelle Williams, and leave it to those who are less allergic to twee-ness.

Fantastic actress, real beauty, but why does she make that “I have a half-eaten Gobstopper in my mouth” face whenever she’s on the red carpet? Is that just her face?
- http://twitter.com/urban_gypsy Urban Gypsy aka Tess
  
  There’s a hint of the patented Zellwegger sour-puss in these images. I can’t unsee it. And the gown is pretty but so super twee that I can’t get behind it though I kind of like it on the model. It looks more ironic on the model, and that I can go with.

  in her defense (she can thank me later), the last picture is a close-up of the first shot. so…yeah that face she is making is tragic but…it may have only been made once…on this particular outing?
  
  does that even count as a defense? Jesus, i’d make a shitty lawyer.

Why am I alone in disliking this thing? I don’t mind girly, but good lord, let’s draw the line somewhere. Bubblegum pink, flowers, AND a bow? I say no. And I will vote “OUT” in protest, even if it’s not an in/out post. Also, those shoes have GOT to go.

I like the red nails & lips with that color pink dress, but this whole look is giving me a toothache. I don’t normally mind how twee she is, but this is a little much.

From the neck up, i love it, but the dress is a bit of a mess, no? It looks like my daughter’s costumes after they get old and start pilling and the embroidery is pulled. The feathers, the lining- it all feels very…heavy.

Nope, sorry. Not a WERQ for me. This is just WAY too fairy princess-y for a grown woman. And what’s with the hands-on-hip thing? Did she walk around all night like that? Did she keep her hands on her hips while she was sitting too?

Anyway, safe home, TLo! Come back soon!

I’m not sure I like it. It’s like that boring gray column Angelina wore the other day. All the parts are nice, but the total package just ends on a flat note. Yes it’s a cute dress and for a change I think the peep toe pump works. The makeup up is great, the more saturated lip keeps it adult looking The tiny diamond necklace is a nice, delicate touch and yes she is wearing that dress like it owes he money and she needs to pay the rent. BUT it’s a Barbie pink dress on someone who already walks a fine line in twee territory. Really it’s not n OUT even though I gave Angelina one. (what tipped the scales for Angelina was she’s also on my celeb hate list), but I’mma need to see some grown up clothes next time.

Really boys? Because I don’t like a single thing about this ensemble. The shoes are atrocious with this dress, and then there’s the dress… I would have loved this dress when I was 6 years old, because It’s a 6 year old’s dress (at least it would be with straps). I can handle it on the model with the fierce/dramatic hair and makeup, but MW looks like she’s playing dress-up. Especially with all the hands-on-hips/pursed lips she’s got going on, she looks like she’s playing with the kids she’s babysitting and trying to get them to change and go to bed.

But aren’t you hating the platforms with the gown? And isn’t the lip/nail color too matchy-matchy? And doesn’t she look WAY too much like cake? And couldn’t we all go for some cake right about now? Dibs on the corner piece…

I actually think these particularly pumps are kind of brilliant with this particular dress on this particular girl. Love the color, and the dark toenail polish helps, too. The shoes on the model are reminiscent of ballet slippers, which suit the dress in an obvious kind of way, but if Michelle had worn them we’d all be in a sugar-induced coma by now. I don’t know, I think there is just enough sophistication in the dress to keep it from being unbearably twee. It is certainly HER dress, completely. She can retire the damn thing, like a star athlete’s jersey.
http://twitter.com/delysia_lafosse Delysia LaFosse

Not my favorite, but she certainly does look pretty and at least there isn’t a Peter Pan collar involved. But Michelle honey? Stand the fuck up straight. Also, her best pictures are always the candid, unposed ones – why does she always purse up her mouth like that for photographers?

Arrgh, guys — I first thought “twee, ugh” but then I realized that you’re right and she is working that twee shit. She’s still annoying, but this is as well-played as I’ve seen her, dammit.

Shoes are a little aggressively silver for me, but otherwise it’s gotta be a WERQ. Because I ought to dislike that pink, girly, princess dress and I don’t, I think it looks great.

And her skin and/or makeup is just fabulous because her coloring should not be able to stand up to that dress but it does.
- Pennymac
  
  I agree. Red head + pink is usually unbearable, and puffy, sparkly and feathers with silver shoes sounds like a recipe for disaster. I don’t know why I like this, but I do. I also think her makeup is luminous. Have I entered an alternate universe or something?

  I honestly can’t recall a photo of her on a red carpet or at a photo opportunity where she looks comfortable. Since she’s an actress, it always surprises me that she can’t just ACT comfortable and play the part.

I’m generally Michelle-neutral, but I think she looks pretty corny in this (though her skin is gawjus!). I have a friend who makes a living attending children’s parties as a princess, and even in full Sleeping Beauty drag she doesn’t look this cutesy. Toothache!

I am really hating the hem. How the lining is sewn to the dress but then the layers balloon out from each other, it just makes me think of a sleeping bag or like after you’ve done your laundry and you’re trying to wrestle your comforter back into the duvet cover. It’s more apparent in the model shot but, still. Just… no. And I usually love Dior. Mehhh.

It really is a testament to Dior because I saw these pictures on another blog earlier and immediately recognized (or so I thought) this dress as vintage Dior. I’m not a fashion expert by ANY means, and because I 1. was able to recognize the designer based on the dress (I can usually only do this with obvious garments) and 2. thought it was vintage when it’s from 2011, I think it means they’re doing something right.

I’m with the dislikers. This is seriously too twee, and she’s told old for this look. She seriously needs to start dressing her age and not letting her toddler pick out her clothes.

In all the luggage-wrangling I fear TLo forgot the possibility of scroll-down fug: those shoes are pretty hiddy to allow them to skate on the “no platforms with gowns” edict. Also,awkward hemline.

I don’t really mind her TAFiness (Twee As Fuck), but having trouble seeing this as even IN, let alone WERQ.

I tend to think a gown like this needs drag queen realness, and Michelle isn’t the girl to bring it. The model is in costume and is rocking the hell out of it.

The bottom of that dress is a disaster. What is all that bulk down there? If this were knee length, it would make a nice summer party dress.

michelle is just lucky you’re wrangling luggage while reviewing her look. those shoes! looks like she’s about to stumble and fall after stepping on her dress in those clodhoppers. i get the glass slipper reference, but a delicate and beautiful shoe was called for here, esp. since the hemline was designed to spotlight her twee little feet. true, this dress was made for her, but not with red lipstick and nails! what was her makeup queen thinking?

The bottom of the dress, even on the model, looks a little like a comforter to me. Granted, a fabulously embellished comforter, but a comforter none-the-less.

I think they awarded the WERQ (and I agree) because she took her twee to the Nth twee-gree. Context counts, and this is the Paris premiere of her Marilyn biopic, she’s nominated for an Oscar, it’s 10 days before the big night, and she’s wearing head-to-toe Christian Dior, that most Parisian of Parisian coutouriers, the godfather of post WW2-Paris’ return to global fashion dominance. And it’s pink and billowy, but not frothy and overpowering. The proportions are great, the silhouette is flattering, her hairnmakeup are perfection. I think it’s savvy and very, very intentional.

Methinks she had some developmental arrest at about age 13, hence all the pastels and frou-frou. Time to grow up and embrace your womanhood, Michelle.

That is a beautiful, tho twee, gown. Don’t care for the shoes, and especially not with that gown. What I do love is the shade of lipstick she’s wearing. Gorgeous!

Oh TLo, I hate to disagree with you. Those red lips and nails are so wrong. In fact the shoes, hair (colour – too dark) and make-up are all at odds with the dress. In her journey away from Mia and toward Marilyn, and the Oscar, she has lost her way. That is SO not her dress.

I really dislike this on her a lot. It is a pretty dress, but I’m not sure who it would suit. It’s the shade of pink, the bows and all that frufru…so fairy princessy or Cinderella-ish..! Not the look a young woman wants nor a look a middle to mature woman should go for. Also, I hate her red lipstick…it’s like she thought that would make the outfit and herself look more mature (?). No on the platform shoes too. No.

What with the Oscars coming up and all, I’d like to make a request: nominees, stars, starlets and stylists, if your dress matches the color of a La Duree macaron . . . nix it! Unless, of course you are consciously going for the look of a Capodimonte shepherdess, that is. Beautiful gown, but on Michelle it is yet one more example of excruciatingly twee. (Somewhere in the background, I’ll bet her mother is lurking with a lovely extra-large damask bib in case Michelle’s ice cream starts dripping.)
