In or Out: Charlize Theron in Dion Lee

MilaXX

OUT! Love her, but not feeling this dress and her shoes are too big.

http://twitter.com/londonpenguin Teresa M.

She looks good from the neck up and the knees down. That stuff in the middle though … no.

makeityourself

Any time I see that much illusion netting used to create another “look, I’m not wearing any underwear”-jigsaw puzzle dress, it automatically goes into bad-iceskating-costume territory.

Trying WAY too hard. OUT.

3boysful

Or Dancing with the Stars.

Seriously..if your illusion netting has an obvious side seam and you’re not wearing ice skates, you need to check that shit at the door of your house and turn around and go change.
- Pannyx
  
  Nice, and I totally agree.
Lori

Absolutely. Being so obviously trying too hard is never a good idea, but when you’re that hot there’s really no point to it.

Little_Olive

No Charlize, I love you but not even you can pull it off. In the immortal words of Cher Horowitz, it’s a full Monet.

Sara LaBatt

Her last name was Horowitz? I had forgotten that detail!
- colleenjanel
  
  Different Cher. Clueless.
  
  (not calling you clueless … Cher from the movie Clueless)

OUT. not a fan of the illusion netting and her bare toenails are killing me. her hair looks like she did it herself for a normal day at home or running errands. she’s gorgeous, but this just does not work for her.

Sobaika Mirza

OH GIRL NO. Illusion netting is tacky on its own but using it to divide your body into thirds and prove you don’t need any foundation garments… I thought Charlize better than this.

guest2visits

The un-happy hooker dress. How did this happen. The only thing I like are the model’s shoes.

sleah_in_norcal

IN! an intriguing dress accessorized perfectly. the shoes look like they were designed especially to continue and complement the lines of the dress. and the single diamond drop earrings were just the right choice. simple, but demanding attention, bringing some light to an all black ensemble.

MelonTheCollie

She looks quite pleased with herself at least, which is nice.

I wonder what the back if the dress looks like…

BazoDee

OUT -too much netting.

trisker

HORRIBLE dress! hard to believe that she still looks lovely

benjamin478

OUT…her RC appearances tend to disappoint me, but I keep hoping she’ll turn up in something as great as her dior dress at the golden globes. something seems to be odd about the makeup? not sure. but just looks like a failure to capitalize on some great potential. weird dress. don’t like it.

http://profile.yahoo.com/PKI5RTEEJ5TZIZII6VEN2G3D7A Caitlin

OUT, come on.

http://www.filmsbyneptune.com/ Dani Colman

The hair and makeup are aging her. She looks fabulous when she goes sleek from the neck up, and that might have complemented the edginess of the dress. As it is, it looks sloppy.

http://profiles.google.com/anplica Anplica Fiore

Thank you! My thoughts exactly. This is an out for me.

Maluca

Startlets keep wearing shoes like that and there will be a LOT of gnarly feet in Hollywood in 20 years…

alyce1213

Charlize Theron is the most gorgeous thing on earth, but no on can pull off that dress.
Sadly and disappointedly, OUT.

She also has very nice feet.

NC_Meg

Agreed. It’s an OUT but it’s not her fault. That is one fug dress and I don’t think anyone could make it work.

VioletFem

OUT. I don’t understand this dress.

http://twitter.com/watchinginkdry Dr Skylaser

She’s gorgeous, but there’s no way this dress can not read as trying to hard. OUT.

MzzPants

She’s wearing a fighter jet. OUT.

3boysful

I want to know the lipstick color! I can never find a good nude.

TheOriginalLulu

Oooh, I have a good one to recommend! Now I’m going to preface this by saying that I don’t like Avon cosmetics in general, but I made a few impulse purchases back when we had an Office Avon Man. (yes, an Avon MAN. His sister sold Avon and he helped her out by bringing the catalogue to work).
Anyway, I inadvertently found a really good nude color. It’s called Sparkling Champagne. Just a touch of rosiness to the nude and a little bit of sparkle. It’s especially lovely if you have a little summer color going on.
- mountainFashionista
  
  Oh, thank you so much! I have yet to try a nude that didn’t read “corpse” on me, but I’m still optimistic that there’s one for me out there!
  - TheOriginalLulu
    
    Then you’ll like this one. I have the same problem with looking like a corpse in nude lipstick and this one is the only one that has ever looked good on me.
    - 3boysful
      
      Thanks! Will try. (I was pleasantly surprised, since as I was hitting “Post,” I realized I was setting up a punch line . . . .)

SewingSiren

Smells like pantyhose.

TheOriginalLulu

“Hotter than a Baptist church in August” is hilarious. And she IS.

She looks about as good as anyone can look in that thing, but it’s really not pretty or flattering or anything. I don’t like the way it cuts her body up in odd places and make her look like she has huge shoulders and a thick middle.

As much as it pains me, I’m going to have to go with OUT on this one. Sorry, Charlie.

sockandaphone

i would like the dress more without those half-assed sleeves. OUT

SusiePamudji

OUT.

http://twitter.com/connectinglines Me Again

OUT. That dress is so gross. The netting is not cute at all, and the “illusion” is not alluring.

j_anson

OUT. I’m sure this dress will effectively appeal to its target audience, but I don’t think TLo’s kittens are that audience.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Sierra-Delta/100003182924700 Sierra Delta

Did you mean “Target audience”

Terence Ng

Out. The cut outs are problematic enough, but that she can’t move her arms from her sides without exposing the hem in the netting pushes it into terrible idea territory.

carolynmo

Oh, dear, NO.

Synnamin

I like to concept, but…. no.

Courtney Fields

Owwwwt!

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=27432316 Ally Monge

I see a new member of the “ruining perfect figures” club has arrived. Dion Lee… meet Stella McCartney. Love Charlize, but OUT

hughman

MONSTER-ous. What, too soon?

emcat8

No, not too soon. Too funny!

Lilak

I really don’t mind the cutout effect per se (this one isn’t half bad … especially – perhaps necessarily – on Charlize) — but the netting, illusion, etc. always ruin these garments for me. Always. That mess is just ugly, especially when it’s seamed.

StrandedFashionista

OUT. It makes her look so blocky.

TheOriginalLulu

I know right? It really pisses me off when a dress manages to make an amazing body look bad. She needs to burn that thing immediately.

AlexisPayne

Oh no. Love the shoes, hair, and make-up but that dress looks like it’s falling apart and the illusion netting is really unflattering.
Sorry babe, OUT.

http://smalltownbigwardrobe.wordpress.com Catherine

If it didn’t have those stupid arm things, it would totally be an in. But alas, OUT.

Super_Red

ooh, yikes! that would be a firm “Out.”

I really hate the “oh look, heehee, I”m not wearing any undies!” cutouts, and this goes far beyond tacky cutouts to “when I was a little ice skating dress, I used to dream of being on the red carpet! Dreams really CAN come true!”

TheOriginalLulu

Oooh, I have a good one to recommend! Now I’m going to preface this by saying that I don’t like Avon cosmetics in general, but I made a few impulse purchases back when we had an Office Avon Man. (yes, an Avon MAN. His sister sold Avon and he helped her out by bringing the catalogue to work).
Anyway, I inadvertently found a really good nude color. It’s called Sparkling Champagne. Just a touch of rosiness to the nude and a little bit of sparkle. It’s especially lovely if you have a little summer color going on.

Jessica O’Connell

OUT. It looks good from the front and her hair and makeup are fine, but once she turns slightly too the side I just feel the need to shake my head with disappointment. If she can’t pull this dress off, I doubt anyone ever will.

Kate4queen

The illusion netting! It burns!!

poggi

I know see how the but-I-can-pull-it-off fashion arms race ends. Yes, Cobie Smulders threw done the gauntlet in her ugly Stella McCartney dress. But Charlize has responded and upped the ante with a dress that is even harder to wear and arguably, uglier. I don’t think she succeeded. Who will be the next starlet to take up the challenge and what hideous creation will she be trying to WERQ?

kelsita421

OUT. tacky city, sorry.

Charlize, you are normally so much classier than this!

Just say NO to illusion netting off of the ice skating rink. OUT!

ThaliaMenninger

That is one fugly dress. It makes her look like a cowherder. I don’t know why that is, and she certainly could not herd cows in those shoes or in that dress, but still… There is something about her exposed flesh and the stupid off-the-shoulder bits and the way it curves on her that makes her look hefty and bovine-related. She is so Out she is in herding those cows in Liechtenstein.

http://twitter.com/Coloradowomyn Kimberly S-W

Oh, I know she’s a new mom and she does have that “i am getting no sleep I have an infant” look about her. Sorry to say the dress is an out…still love her.

tsid2012

That is one awful, ugly dress that not even the lovely Ms. Theron can save.

http://twitter.com/jennsaysmeow Fifi LaRoux

OUT! This is doing nothing for her figure. And seriously Char, illusion netting?

Snailstsichr

Oh ick. It looks like someone slapped colorforms on her body. Out

girliecue

Oh no! It looks like Charlize has entered the Desperation Years. Honey, it’s still way too early for you to do that! Wait til you’re JLo’s age, at least.

rainwood1

I can see why the designer shot is from the side and heavily backlit. Those winglets and the illusion netting are unfortunate.

http://twitter.com/mirrormirrorxx Paola Thomas

Any use of illusion netting not on a skating dress is automatically OUT, I don’t care who’s wearing it…

http://theargiehome.blogspot.com/ Gus Casals

Yeah, there is something “super heroine custome” about the dress that is out of place. Charlize is gorge, but OUT

What are all those birds I hear? They’re saying…”CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP!”

Ugh. OUT.

AthenaJ

Omg her landing strip has a landing strip. Dayum girl, this is bordering on full-blown tackiness! I know this dress is supposed to be sleek, but those cutouts look like someone went at it with a pair of scissors, and the VERY obvious line in the nude part underneath her arm makes it seem like Charlize is wearing a pair of pantyhose all the way up to her armpit. Thankfully, she’s so gorgeous that her face pulls the attention away from this home-ec project that has gone terribly, terribly wrong.

O-U-T

OUT. This looks so trashy on her. She needs to be about 5 years younger and on a cocaine binge to pull it off.

afabulous50

OUT. I agree with TieDye64 – that is some serious tacky!!

http://twitter.com/boricuaintexas Boricua in Texas

I did not know something could be simultaneously slutty and yawn-inducing. You learn something new every day.

Glammie

In. As in, why the hell not when you look like that? She doesn’t overdo the accessorizing or the hair, so I think she’s wearing the dress as well as possible. She’s kind of playing a red-carpet part–vamping it up for her upcoming Evil Queen in *her* version of Snow White.

Yeah, up close you can see the illusion netting, but I don’t think that really takes away from the overall impact of the dress. I mean, I also think her little blue flower tat is silly , but not even Charlize is perfect. Just closer than the rest of us.

janetjb

Out. Just say no to the illusion.

howdoilook

IN, just to play devil’s advocate. It’s certainly a conversation piece.

greyhoundgirl

Like it better from far away than close up. Out.

PeggyOC

Out. Love her, and she can sell almost any dress, but not this one. The way the bodice is cut makes her look thick. It’s not her, it’s the dress. Notice that even the model wasn’t shot face on!

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=816120314 Chason Dailey

I think the only actress who could possibly pull this dress off is Halle Berry.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1183772509 Jen Hughes

Nay. Every time I see illusion netting, I think of the drag queens who don’t like to shave and instead wear that over their legs and arms. Nay.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1091753514 Kelli Anderson Taylor

OUT! It makes her look like she has terrible posture and it has the illusion that it’s actually melting off of her. She so much better than this.

efishfan

Is there a sequel to that Aeon Flux movie in the works?

CQAussie

It looks tacky and also like she pulled on the wrong thread before heading out the door. OUT. Love the shoes though.

nannypoo

This is really a shitty dress.

out for a walk

Oof, that is one horrific dress. The ONE thing I appreciate (if I’m not imagining it) is that the illusion netting looks like nude fishnet rather than the normal nude sheer hosiery-type fabric. I can’t tell if that is actually the case, but if so, points for hilarity.

Nariya

Set it free so that Rooney Mara can have a go.

http://www.myblackfriendsays.com myblackfriendsays

OUT. That dress is fug.

AlinaValero

OUT. looks like it’s painted on and they missed spots?

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1303837450 Lauren Dorsee Dillon

It needs tweeking, bare instead of netting up top and bright solid fabric to replace the rest of the netting. Royal blue would look nice.

butterflysunita

OUT. This dress reminds me of the white cut out dress one designer did in PR Season 1 for the Envy challenge–and she was almost eliminated for it. And that dress was way cuter than this one.

RebeccaKW

You know, if it was just a halter, without the weird arms and illusion netting on the shoulders, I think I would I would like it. I’m also not feeling the makeup. Not that I don’t like it, but maybe…a dress like this needs dramatic makeup. And dramatic hair. Out.

http://twitter.com/#!/Space_Kitty Space Kitty

It’s like that cartoon thing, where something gets ripped to shreds and it takes it a minute to realize it and fall apart. And not in a good way. Only the force of Charlize’s fabulousness keeps this in the ‘poor choice’ category instead of going all the way to totally embarrassing.

OUT.

Yikes.

And that netting looks as itchy as a Baptist Church in August.

argh! if only she’d pushed down the sleeves a dite so they lined up with the curve of the armhole. And then not moved her arms at all.

Like the concept but not the execution.

momogus

No.

jw_ny

OUT

The flesh colored pattern doesn’t flatter her figure or have an interesting shape. I could see perhaps if it were like the Stella McCartney Illusion dress somehow, and gave her/the wearer a shape…but this doesn’t. In fact, it takes away her shape/figure. Also, the cut-out illusion looks raggedy.

Hair & makeup…pretty.

msdamselfly

If Charlize cannot make a dress look good, then it is emphatically, empirically, and incontravertibly not good. QED.

I wanted to give her an “in” for having the balls to show up in that dress, and to do so without obviously laughing at the world and her own joke. But then I saw the HUGE visible side seam in that illusion netting.

My Raggedy Ann doll had more subtle seams.

aimee_parrott

Well, it looks less bad on her than it would on anyone else, so I guess that’s a compliment? But still an OUT.

Sorry Charlize — still can’t wait to see Snow White, though!

Candigirl1968

OUT. Even though it’s not too revealing, it has a “trying too hard” quality about it on Charlize. Maybe it needs Rooney “I’m so interesting that I’ve moved past sexy” Mara or someone like that to pull this off.

quiltrx

OUT. But it’s thisclose to being a great dress. The shape is great, and I actually like (surprising even myself) the thin strips of illusion. If the strips had carried on like they are, and tapered away to nothing under the arm, I think this would have been a killa dress. But that wide piece under the arm (with the AWFUL seam) makes this look like an exploded diagram of how the dress was sewn together.

Charlize is gorgeous, but this dress ain’t working. OUT.

aristida_girl

IN, but only because she is the Great Theron, who is my beauty idol and can wear whatever she want and probably would look great at 3 am with food poisoning and wearing sweat pants, but that is only my opinion…that dress is weird though and she is just barely pulling it off, on anyone else it would be suitable only for Dancing With the Stars…

its lovely. she’s a beautiful woman in a very interesting dress that, you have to admit, fits her like a glove. i think its an IN. and the shoes aren’t too big . . . anyone who wears stilettos knows the harsh angle sometimes make them look as if theres room in the back. 1/2 size smaller would have had her toes creeping out. ever her freaking toes are gorgeous! I’m loving the strappy shoe, the illusion and the skin showing . . . i think its fab.

MmmmmmmmK

The thumbnail, once again, looked so pretty. Open to full photo — yeouch!! Tacky! If only the dress had simply exposed the shoulders and gone with a plunging backline, we’d never have been talking about this dress at all. It would have been another lovely black dress on a beautiful woman. It’s not like Charlize Theron needs to make her hips look a couple of inches wider for the extra publicity with a wacky dress, so this leaves me confused.

Truthiness2U

So very OUT. Not flattering to her body at all, and makes her look like a desperate try hard. She doesn’t need to look this desperate for attention and trying to prove she’s teh sexy. It’s a tacky dress in general, and the illusion netting, certainly doesn’t help.

This dress on her definitely looks like it’s floating. Is it skin tight or about to fall off? If she just stood there front and center I wouldn’t mind but all the side views are a very nauseating optical illusion. Doesn’t help that she has that shit eating grin on her face… I don’t even like the lazy hair and make-up. Does she own a hairbrush? OUT

what is ruining it for me is the construction. why is there a seem in the invisible netting? It makes it very visible and ruins the effect. Then there is the sleeve, unnecessary.. you can see almost a fishnet type mesh over her shoulder… looks odd. Lastly, there is a rumply texture to the seems, WHY? it should fit her like a glove and make a perfect lines that aren’t pulling…. ARG. Also ankle strap not working with this look. ITs all about the long lines, why cut the line to the foot with an ankles strap?

Not a fan of illusion netting, even for figure skating costumes. Charlize = smokin’ hot; dress = not. Sadly, out.

Be still, my beating heart! This is a KILLER look and she’s simply stunning. How did she not get the part to play Grace Kelly? Goddamn.

Oh, geez, out as out can get. Hey, let’s wear the world’s tackiest dress that shows I need no underwear whatsoever. Evidently, tasteless knows no limits.

dschubba

Meh. This dress is trying so hard I want to give it a “Participant” trophy.

OUT. Is that a stripper costume? THe 2 vertical lines actually make her look thick through the middle. I know she is gorgeous. This is not the dress for her.

Sophie Collier

It’s a cool idea and it looks great on THAT model, in THAT pose, with THAT lighting. Not so cool in real life, sadly, as is the case with a lot of couture. It’s hot on the runway but awkward on the red carpet. Still, I think if I were as sexy as Charlize, I’d have given it a try as well.

Out and she is looking “steroid (wink wink) puffy!”

Out. Looks like she wore the pattern for the dress.

Mei-Lu McGonigle

OUT! She has a cramazing body and this dress makes her look paunchy and hippy.

The dress and heels are decent, but what’s with her hair? She should have done something more structured or dramatic for that outfit.

The only thing worse than the dress are the shoes. OUT

PeaceBang

Out. And, um, I’m putting in a vote for Distracting Collagen Injections Or Something

akprincess72

A bit tacky for my taste.

Aurumgirl

Oh, how I wish this illusion netting trend would die.

Thathoodwink

OUT. It looks like the pattern for the dress was laid out but never sewn together. She is gorgeous but the dress is el stinko.

Uhm, no. Just no. Out.

That dress looks cheap..OUT

ChristySchiff

out. That dress is the pits, though the shoes are amazing.

Out. She looks a bit embarassed to be wearing it, in my opinion.

librarygrrl64

OUT! It actually makes her middle look thick, and we know that is NOT the case.

IN! But only on Charlize.

LiliLynch

Tacky, tacky, tacky…a big, fat OUT.

Warmheartedgirl Seattle

This was a gutsy choice and hair and makeup are great. LOVE those shoes! I’m going to say IN for fierceness and bravery.

kittenwithaquip

I think the length really cheapens this dress and takes into HookerTown. I’m imagining it long and slinky and it doesn’t seem nearly as trashy.

OUT. Shoes are nice, but otherwise OUT.

ballerinawithagun

OUT! She looks fabulous, but that dress…way too many parts.
