Christina Hendricks, Lady in Red

gabbilevy

Woah, boobs! But otherwise, the dress suits. The shoes are unforgivable, though.

Vaniljekjeks

What on earth is she wearing on her feet?!
- mmc2315
  
  Those shoes look like the feeble classic Back-Up Pair of Shoes.
  
  You know, when an outfit’s “real” shoes are KILLING your feet, so you break out the back-up shoes which are comfortable, no doubt, and allow you to continue to stand & walk, but in your heart of hearts you know they just don’t go with the dress and you can only hope the lights are turned down enough that no one notices.
  - Vaniljekjeks
    
    Tsk. Should be more fashionable. I am almost never on red carpets and I manage a decent back-up shoe! My backups are a pair of orthopedic black pumps. They are boring and standard, but at least they are not complete disasters. They are also like hugs for the feet.

    But you put the back-up shoes on AFTER all of the “official” pictures have been taken.

  I scrolled down thinking she looked very pretty. Boobtastic, but how could she not? Then I saw her feet and exclaimed “What the hell are on her feet?!?”
  
  They look like cardboard tied on with twine. Those disposable, roll up shoes would have looked better then those things! And seriously, you’re a star. Get a damn pedicure.

She managed to find shoes that are simultaneously geriatric and totally uncomfortable looking.

There was a moment when I thought she wasn’t wearing shoes at all.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1208138556 Sara Munoz Munoz

She wears the WORST shoes. I hate to say this, because I live in the real world and like comfy shoes. But Christina, honey, WEAR SOME HEELS.
- http://pulse.yahoo.com/_NUZ2RGIDRXKK6ADHFPPCR6S3WI MariaM
  
  I think she has foot problems. This isn’t body snarking, I think it looks like she has bunions. If she has other issues as well, it’s actually impossible to wear stilettos for any length of time. She generally seems to prefer kitten heels, and I gotta think it’s for a reason. I do wish she had found a more attractive pair, however. Something metallic maybe? More delicate?
  - http://twitter.com/starrika Ali
    
    That’s what it looks like to me as well, and if she does, I feel bad for her. Foot pain sucks. There are cuter comfortable shoes out there, though. Even a plain black kitten heel pump would have looked better, I think.
  - http://twitter.com/foodycatAlicia foodycatAlicia
    
    I noticed that too – I figure it gives her a pass on a lot of her hideous shoe choices.
  - sk8tfan
    
    It looks like she has hella bunion problems. I’ve thought that several times in looking at her in photos. Maybe she hasn’t noticed because she can’t see her feet? Get thee to a podiatrist, woman. Even so, there are orthopedic shoes that are better than those things. But I do love the shape of the dress on her and so much for not putting red on a redhead, I think it looks great on her.
  - http://twitter.com/marared Jaime
    
    Yes, she’s got a noticeable bunion on the left – I’ve got one too, and I know just how hard it is to find shoes that accommodate such things and still fit the rest of your foot, and this is one of the primary reasons why I almost never wear heels. (that and it’s almost impossible to find cute shoes in 10EE, never mind the bunion…)
    
    Dress is pretty, hem needs to come up a bit.
  - http://www.facebook.com/people/Elaine-Lang/100000366510311 Elaine Lang
    
    I would actually LOVE for TLo to do an entry on foot-friendly shoes that are still fairly fashionable. When all the so-called “killer shoes” are off limits to so many, it gets difficult to apply the wisdom to real life. And, when it comes to bunions, it isn’t even that CH could wear the painful shoes on the RC and then change…she probably couldn’t even fit her feet into a lot of the so-called “great” shoes we see on others.

http://gabyrippling.tumblr.com/ Gabriella M

Baby heads, unflattering hemline.I think the tomato-ish red is making her look a little flushed in an unflattering way. Terrible shoes. On the bright side, her waist looks phenomenal.
Oh Christina, it’s 2 steps forward, 1 step back with you every time, isn’t it.

kschwarting

It’s odd, the flushing looks different from photo to photo. I’m wondering whether it’s the light or bad blush application.
- http://gabyrippling.tumblr.com/ Gabriella M
  
  Yeah that’s true. I considered including makeup issues but I just couldn’t judge well.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000393765005 Garcia Loca

What on earth is wrong with baby heads? She’s a full busted girl with breasts positioned high on her chest. There’s no hiding them. Agree on the rest.
- http://gabyrippling.tumblr.com/ Gabriella M
  
  Baby heads are a result of poorly fitting the bust by squishing them up against the chest. It’s a complaint about the fit, not her breasts. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was bodyshaming, but that was not my intent. To the contrary, I think there are better ways to highlight her magnificent breasts than squishing them until they look like they’re hanging upside-down.

THOSE SHOES! WHY!

Those shoes are tragic.

tereliz

Paigealicious

Baaaaad shoes.

ecallaw1977

Yes, she has baby heads, but Lord have mercy, I don’t think she really has a choice. The color and shape are fantastic on her, but it would look better if it were a few inches shorter and with different shoes. But day-um.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2SYNWNMDUBJBJL66NUNMGZEIDI AnonMom

As a larger busted lady myself, I can say it’s hard to hide the baby heads unless you wear a turtleneck. The top of that dress does have a considerable amount of coverage, but it simply is not enough. I can’t fault the lady for that.
J. Preposterice

The dress is too small on top, though, which is part of why she is making the babyheads, and I bet she’s wearing a pushup bra. Right this minute I am wearing a 32JJ bra that yoinks my boobs up high — but is NOT a pushup, it’s a balconette — and a low necklined top, and there is visible cleavage but not a babyhead in sight. Because everything FITS and although it is yoinked into place it is not SHOVED into place. There’s a difference, and Christina does not know what it is.
- http://profiles.google.com/ameliaheartsu Amelia Logan
  
  This lady does not a need a push up bra. I highly doubt that is what is going on. It would appear that her boobs are actually larger than her frame.
  - formerlyAnon
    
    The boobs broader than her frame diagnosis seems to be correct (based on the comments of better eyes than mine). I imagine that this contributes to her difficulties with fit.
- theblondette
  
  The tightness of the dress is the key issue, I think, though I don’t think her bra is helping her. If you look at the photos where she’s in 3/4 profile you can see that her breasts continue a long way down her chest area, suggesting that the dress is so tight that it’s actually flattening the breasts, which creates this unflattering babyhead look. I tried on a dress the other day that was too tight over the bust and got a very similar tit-effect even in my regular bra.
  - J. Preposterice
    
    It’s a little hard to tell without a profile shot, but the reflectivity on the dress makes it look like the breasts have a non-flattened…front projection, I guess I’d call it, which is weird if ONLY too-tightness is causing the babyheads. That is, she doesn’t look like she’s got quadboob or like the front of the breasts is pressed inwards. The dress is SOME too-tight, but not tight enough to flatten the boobs enough to do the babyheads on its own, or it’d also be flattening the points of the bust. It is pushing some of the boob out into the armpit area, which is never comfy….
    
    It’s the combo of babyheads + regular front projection that makes me think she’s wearing a pushup bra under the dress. Pushups (or plunges, or strapless bras) in large cupsizes often have the extending-down-the-chest effect because of the structure of the padding in them. When I wear a padded plunge bra, my boobs look half-again their size, which believe you me, is help they do not need.
    - theblondette
      
      Yes, that’s true. I’m wondering also if her control underwear is not helping. Is she maybe wearing a control slip? That might explain the flatness without the multiboob… If so, she should really go for one with the boob area cut out (I have one by Gok Wan, it’s awesome!).
    - teensmom99
      
      As another well endowed woman (but no longer with the vava voom), I think the baby heads can be avoided and this just looks painful and weird. As TLo have taught me, when you’re spending that kind of money there is no excuse for bad undergarments. It’s true that I have a hard time finding shapeware that pulls in my midsection and boobs–but that’s because I want to spend $50 and not whatever it is that her stylist should be able to find for her. This is just creepy. And I didn’t even get to the length and those shoes.
    - http://twitter.com/starrika Ali
      
      I’m also a bustier woman, and I think this may be a case of the wrong undergarment for that dress situation. Christina is gorgeous and has an amazing figure, but her undergarments here aren’t helping her with this.
    - J. Preposterice
      
      Yeah, whatever is going on with Christina’s boobs, I think there’s definitely some kind of Wrong Underpinnings happening….
      
      I have a high-waisted number that basically ends up under my braband and smooths all my lumps from braband to knee, leaving the breasts to be wrangled by my bra. For my own personal body, that seems to be the best solution.
    - Corsetmaker
      
      Those are great for big boobs. Either the high-waisted or the ones with straps that are cut to scoop under the bra. I think it’s combination of underwear and dress that’s flattening her and pushing her out in the wrong places. That woman is so badly in need of some well fitting bras!
    - J. Preposterice
      
      For real. I mean, I sympathize deeply, Christina! My bra size is not found in every corner market, either. But if I can afford to strap my boobs into some semblance of proper decorum, surely she can. If the internet is to be believed, she’s got way more cash dollars than I do.
    - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1208138556 Sara Munoz Munoz
      
      I just love this post.
      This whole thread actually.
eruannalle

Yeah, exactly what I’m thinking. This fits her quite well, but with boobs like hers, there’s only so much you can do without covering them up entirely. The shoes are godawful though.
- http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie
  
  Right – she’s never going to be able to hide or minimize those babies… But they look great in this dress, and not tortured, so the bust is good in my book.
- teensmom99
  
  Sorry, but I think you can do a lot more with the boobs. Better undergarments–is that so hard?
NC_Meg

I knew she had big boobs but for some reason, this dress makes them look much bigger than usual. I like the color and even the sequins but go up a size or have the bodice altered, Christina. It will look better and probably be 10X more comfortable. Because I don’t believe for one second that having boobs up to your chin is comfortable.
Indovina

It can be extremely difficult for a larger busted woman to dress in a way that doesn’t draw attention to her chest, but it’s not impossible—especially when one has access to the resources that Christina has access to. One can compare how Christina dresses as Christina and how Christina dresses as Joan. It isn’t that she can’t not do it. It isn’t even that she doesn’t try not to.

She has a choice—and she has made it. She—I have to conclude intentionally—dresses in ways that maximize the appearance of her bust. Far too many of the looks she wears aren’t merely non-camouflaging but are outright emphasizing.

I don’t really care to speculate as to why. That’s how she wants to dress.

BazoDee

terrible terrible length! The shoes are dreadful. Other than that -I’m beginning to get an “of course” vibe from her re: the baby heads.

Vaniljekjeks

Ok I am curious to the contraption under her dress that is giving her such baby-head action. The dress is just a red sparkly icing to the cake that is Ms. Hendricks’ shapewear.

greyhoundgirl

Pushing the boobs up and into her neck doesn’t help. If the top was a scootch wider it would accommodate her breasts without so much over-spill.

padma sallah

The dress is lovely (sure a couple of inches off the hem would have been nice) but oy, the real travesty here is the shoes. Her feet look bound, bland and tortured.

Kristina Toma

Holy baby heads, Batman.

HomeOfficeGirl

UGH! Any time her dressed like this, I think “what an idiot”! She does not HAVE to look like she has buoys strapped to her chest.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Jessica-TallGirl-Freeman/1043623567 Jessica TallGirl Freeman

I have to say the fit is really flattering on her (babyheads aside). I know she has a large chest, but those are some serious baby heads in an already attention grabbing dress. But look at her waist! I’m envious. I am not envious of those damn shoes. What happened there hunny?

http://twitter.com/skitzfiggitous skitzfiggitous

I wish they’d used a few inches of fabric from the bottom to give her ladies a little more room to breathe. Then I’d like everything happening from the knees up.

Very Jessica Rabbit.

Kristin McNamara

THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT! Until I scrolled down and saw it wasn’t a floor-length. But I am here, skimming the comments to see if someone had already said this, because it *needed* to be said!

cmb92191

the last shot where she is slightly turned is less boobtastic. I like the idea of this dress, but the shoes are bit geriatric.

http://twitter.com/jyotilamba Jyoti Lamba

So unflattering… Between the hemline, the tightness at the bust and the too-low heels, there is nothing about this look that reminds us of her counterpart, Mad Men sexpot Joan.

B_C_J

Those shoes are soooo horrible, my eyes are bleeding! I would either bring the hem of the dress up or go full on glamour and make it floor length which on second thought might have been the way to go given that it would have concealed those atrocious shoes.

Dress – good verging on great. Shoes – unforgivably bad. Needs joory and different makeup.

Fabulous dress. I’d prefer the hemline just below the knee, though, and a bit of jewellery. Nothing too crazy, but a little something.

theblondette

The problem with this dress is absolutely clear to anyone who has a small waist in proportion to a very well endowed chest: the dress fits at the waist, which means it is correspondingly cut for a woman who would be expected to have a waist that size. A woman who had a C or D cup could quite comfortably fit into the top of that dress, but I would guess darling Christina is at least a G cup (it’s hard to guess more accurately when I don’t know her underband measurement – that really impacts on how a cup size looks). She would need to size up at least 1 dress size to fit in her boobs, which would make the waist much looser, and it seems that Christina’s decision for partywear is usually that it’s better to fit on the waist – we’ve seen that often. In a way I don’t blame her. Having huuuge boobs myself, wearing clothes that are loose on the waist feels dumpy and frumpy. I know Bitter Kittens have said it often, but Christina really needs someone to tailor ALL her clothes. This dress shows she has an extraordinary silhouette. I’m certain that on Mad Men all her clothes are tailored to her specific size – I wish she’d take that into her real life, because as my no 1 girl crush after Marilyn, I want to see her look her best!

http://profiles.google.com/ameliaheartsu Amelia Logan

As someone with a less extreme curviness I still wish I had someone to tailor all my clothes.
- theblondette
  
  It would be lovely, wouldn’t it?
Corsetmaker

Yeah, she needs them tailored or she needs to stick to separates. Off the rack sizing is never going to work for her. Also, she’s stuck with either squeezing into a loan dress or shelling out for her own, which might be when she bypasses the stylist. Neither is ideal. She’d be better finding a young, unknown designer to give her patronage too. Great publicity in exchange for clothes that fit her.

SewingSiren

It’s a nice silhouette for her. But the neckline is too low. Her feet look like they hurt, and that’s not a good look.

http://www.facebook.com/aboutelle Ashleigh Boutelle

I’m so surprised this is a “Whiteboard”er. This dress looks (to me) like it fits her better than anything I’ve seen her in to date!
The shoes…not so much.

Hem is too long, breasts are tortured, bad shoes.

I like the red, though.

http://twitter.com/tangodiva Tanya Wade

As another big boobed bitter kitten, Miss Christina is probably not a larger letter size, just a multiple letter size, ie. DDD. I don’t necessarily think her rib cage is huge. And it’s also common to have one boob bigger than the other, which is perhaps why right boob is bigger than left boob.

But the bigger problem (oy!) here is clearly the shoes from the Bea Arthur collection at Sears. Tragic. Whether or not she actually has bunions, they certainly give that unfortunate illusion! Nice fit in the waist of the dress, though.

Corsetmaker

I bra fit and I’d guess at 32 H or HH maybe more. A DDD is an F over here and she’s way, way more than that. But no she’s not a big band size. And agreed, most people have one side slightly or even a lot bigger. Often the right if you’re right handed.
- http://www.facebook.com/people/Elaine-Lang/100000366510311 Elaine Lang
  
  Yes, I appear to be fairly flatchested when one looks at me, and yet fit nicely in a 30 D in some brands. The cup size corresponds to the band, folks…a 30 D generally is the same size (in terms of area covered) cup as a 36 A! CH is probably (like most actresses in Hollywood) very small boned and likely a band size 30 or 32…which, then puts her cup size WELL along the alphabet.

http://profiles.google.com/ameliaheartsu Amelia Logan

Jessica Rabbit!

Eva_baby

I just don’t think she knows how to dress for her body at all. Either she looks stuffed into something or she looks frumpy. Weirdly in this she looks both.

mhleta

Love the dress on her and although I’m generally not in favor of this mid-calf length we’re suddenly seeing everywhere, it could have worked here with a more substantial shoe, like maybe a patent leather platform. The shoes she’s wearing here are the sorts one wears with something casual and gauzy, not a dazzling dress such as this. And what’s with the wrist band? Sort of tacky to ask women in elegant dress to wear a wristband for any reason, yes?

Judy_J

Baby heads. And those shoes do NOT go with that dress.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=4501978 Martha Jackson Deutsch

She managed to find shoes that are simultaneously geriatric and totally uncomfortable looking. Also, boobies.

BrooklynBomber

Again, why does she have to be stuffed into her clothes? This is not flattering. We know she has a classic hourglass figure, and don’t need to be hit over the head with an exaggerated version of it.

Mary229

The dress is working everything she’s got but I can’t help but think it just doesn’t work as a cocktail dress. Am I missing something here? Am I wrong and this would actually be too much if it was a gown?

filmcricket

It would be much, much better as a gown. That would probably be too formal for the occasion, though.

TieDye64

Woah, you’d think this would look all va-va-voom, but it really falls short. The fit and length of the dress is wrong. And the shoes! Dear God, those shoes take this into frumpy territory. This is how you sex down a tight, sparkly red dress.

The dress is not bad, but the hemline is wrong and the shoes are awful.

Those shoes do not go with that dress at all! That dress length is all wrong…especially with those shoes! Is that a red plastic bracelet…egads, it’s ugly! Those boobs are just too …well, too much! (I could go on…)

She needed big hair or an up-do, dramatic makeup, diamond tennis bracelet, and mostly…killah shoes!

Valdri8

She has some seriously fucked-up feet. I bet they kill her in fashionable shoes, but those sandals are a nightmare. I adore her, and I think that she is so stunning, but she is a style disaster. I want to blame the difference between her looks in print and IRL on photoshopping, but she looks phenom on MM. She simply does not understand how to dress her body. And I cannot believe that someone with her money cannot have stylish yet comfy shoes custom made if it comes to that. Get 4 pair and do a Cathy Cambridge, but please do not come out in those things ever again.

And the rest of her looks like she got shoved out the door before she was done getting dressed.

Can TLo run a contest for Be Miss Christina’s Best Gay Friends? Because girlfriend seriously needs some. If there is a professional stylist behind this look, he/she needs to be run out of town on a rail. And if Miss CH is picking her own looks, she needs a cadre of gays to snap her out of these public trainwrecks. Those aren’t shoes, they’re some shapeless forms tied onto to her hooves with twine!

If you’re going to wear an eye-catching, almost gown like that you HAVE to spend some money on your hair and your accessories and the right shoes. These are the basics.
I think CH’s problem is that she is just doing a cable show and she doesn’t personally have the money to use a stylist all the time to help her make the right appearance. That or she’s cheap and thinks she can Do It Herself.

editrixie

So, I’ve got this foot injury thing going on, could be a bunch of things, but now I’m in a walking boot/air cast thingie to try to tamp down the inflammation from movement. I can’t wear any of my incredibly fabulous shoes because they’re all too snug or they have a tiny heel — I don’t even really own much in the way of real heels anymore. I look at those shoes — and a lot of what she’s worn lately — and wonder if she doesn’t have something going on where she can’t wear “regular” shoes. Because there’s not much to excuse these otherwise with such a great dress.

It seems absurd but I’m starting to feel kind of bad for her– she really has few choices, is never going to just look low-key or blend in, and is almost always going to look over the top and stand out like a sore thumb in basically whatever she wears. (I sort of wish I had such problems, but then again …)

I wish she’d gone the full Jessica Rabbit with a floor length hem and a slit up to here, but…overall not bad. Except for the shoes. It looks like she has dirty band-aids taped to her feet.

that is not a good length for her figure type, and those sandals look like she walked over to the event, and forgot to change into her evening shoes…

Damn. I’m gay, and all I could do was stare at ‘em. Is she even wearing shoes, I couldn’t tell. And I think that’s part of the problem–her proportions stun & confuse most stylists who work with her. Clearly, nobody has yet managed to get her into the most flattering combination of bra size/shaper. And while it is hard to notice, the fit is wrong up top; the darts should end up near the point of her boobs, not below. It makes the whole dress look as if it is being pulled down. She needs a stylist who isn’t afraid to buy two sizes and cut them into one dress.

I hate this unflattering length and boobtastical vise of a dress on her. I’m not even going there with the shoes since so many have gone before me (and trashed her effectively already). Kind of a crazy Ginger Grant thing going on… not good

oohsparkley!

She looks great! I forgive her for the shoes. I think she must have touchy feet.

does anyone else suspect, judging from recent pictures, that Christina has recently fired her awesome stylist? or hit a lucky streak with a few outfits a while back and has now sunken into her old ways? what gives?!!

With those hellacious boobs anything with cleavage is going to cause problems. I think, given her figure, it’s a good dress for her except for the length. The shoes look like something she might have found in the trunk of her car when she realized she forgot to bring the purple stilletos she carefully chose to go with this dress.

I don’t hate this as much as others here seem to — granted the dress needs some jewelry to spice it up and the shoes are tragic, but the way the dress fits her body looks pretty damn good to my eyes. I do wish it were either just a few inches shorter or floor-length, though. Actually, the latter would have been quite stunning.

Her bust is fine, nothing to be ashamed of and she’s decent. The hem is too long and yes, the shoes are terrible. Love the dress, otherwise.

PrunellaV

It’s too long and the shoes are sad, but otherwise, va-va-va-VOOM!

Trisha26

Horrible, horrible shoes. And baby heads. Other than that she looks terrific! (It also looks a little long but with better shoes that issue might go away.)

Death By Babyheads.

BigWhiteGrannyPanties

I think that that dress could fit more attractively for her breasts. More fabric please. And those shoes – they ruin the whole look. A pump please.

sweet_potato

This could have been a great look if it the dress were shorter (what’s with this length??), different shoes and hair that looks like someone did something with it, on purpose. But still better than a lot of CH looks. More baby steps, fewer baby heads.

Qitkat

Oh darlin’, your poor feet. She just may have to choose between the hell of criticism for her shoe choices or the hell of hellacious pain for fancier shoes. I’ll just shut up about anything else, because I know from personal experience the agony of da feet trumps everything else.

hate the length of the dress — at least, with THOSE shoes. why not full length, or cocktail length with a pair of killer heels?

Darva Sutra

love the dress and it fits her to a tee, except I’d hem it about 2 inches. This dress is MEANT to be sexy and she sure delivers. All other styling/hair makeup choices nonexistant. She has got to get help pulling herself together, this HOT dress only underscores the fact that she didn’t try with anything else.

Corsetmaker

You need heels to carry off that length. The shoes are… well there’s plenty comments on them.
And for the love of whatever woman, get a bra fitting from someone who knows what they’re about and listen to them! Then find some unknown, curve understanding designer who would be over the moon to dress you in clothes that fit in exchange for the publicity!

Contralto

I love her, I just do. But the bustline needs a little more room, and I wish she’d worn her hair up. I ain’t mad at her for the shoes, though, because as a racktacular sort my own self, sometimes Heels + a Balcony You Can Do Shakespeare From = Big-Time Backache.

That dress with those sandals?? What happened? Did one of her heels break?

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000393765005 Garcia Loca

I like the dress on her, but would like it even more if the length wasn’t weird like this. It should either hit under the knee or go maxi. Hey, maybe then it could cover up the tragic shoes!

melanie0866

Too long. Also, she looks barefoot.

Joyce VG

WOW! I just clicked in her pic. The dress is perfect for her. What is wrong with her feet seriously? I admire she doesn’t go for torture devices on her feet…but geriatric beige sandals? Gee whiz.

Length is too long, baby heads are cray, must be wearing a corset to make her waist look like that. Otherwise, very pretty.

Toto Maya

If you got it, flaunt it. She’s flaunting it.

SatelliteAlice

Shoe fail… but great dress.

Renaissance_Man_ATL

The dress is TOO LONG and the shoes are HIDEOUS!!!

Renaissance_Man_ATL

Also, did she fire the new stylist???

Amy Ennis

Amazing! What an hourglass figure!

gubblebumm

The boobs are so heavy they are smushing her feet

http://www.ellenciompi.com/ NurseEllen

Too long. The shoes are tragic. Lose the red watch band.

quiltrx

OH GOOD LORD. Take those shoes back to Mamaw!!!

SophieCollier

Not going to complain about the “baby heads” because as I figure it, either she hikes those tatas up and gets grief for too much bosom, or she lets them sit lower and looks chunkier than she actually is. This shows off her hourglass shape. Those shoes, however, are inexcusable unless she’s had toe surgery or something.

HORRIBLE length. Longer or shorter would have done it. AND HATE HATE those shoes.

TheDivineMissAnn

Yep, not crazy about the length either. Just an inch or two shorter and she would have rocked it. It’s a fab dress.

tsid2012

As previously stated: great dress, horrid shoes.

http://twitter.com/Mylynka Mylynka

oh no… reutrn of the babyheads…

http://kingderella.tumblr.com/ kingderella

OMG! one post ago, she was wearing marvel girl/phoenix green, now shes switched to dark phoenix red! is she trying to tell us something?

“Ouch”, said the baby heads.

http://www.facebook.com/ali.sharpe.6 Ali Sharpe

Bad shoes. AMAZING dress.

xmixiex

those shoes… i can’t… angels are falling.

http://TheDoseofReality.com/ The Dose of Reality

What in seven hells does she have on her feet?! *sob*

librarygrrl64

Beautiful dress (could be an inch or two shorter), nice hair and makeup, tragic accessories.

Mirakel9

Where is she going in this get-up?? The length is funky (too long, or too short….but this?!), the hair & make-up are limp, and the shoes….THOSE SHOES! They make her look like she has painful bunions (at least put some color on those toenails!). Ugh.

Warmheartedgirl Seattle

I dislike everything about this look! The girls are too high, the dress is doing nothing for her waist and is too long. The shoes are absolutely TRAGIC. Hair is limp, makeup is shiny and not great. And, I agree with Kimberly Burke – get a damned pedicure!

http://www.facebook.com/people/Katie-Heim/708520610 Katie Heim

Oh my god, I love this woman, she is so glorious, but that hem! Those shoes! The horror below the knee!

neofashionista

I like it yeah her baby heads are out of control but i think she likes it that way and so we are all just gonna have to get used to it
