Uma Thurman in Versace

Posted on Mar 18, 2013 in Fashion

We are one hundred percent behind the idea of ladystars sporting massive weaponry on the red carpet. It’s the season’s must-have accessory! Or it should be, at least.

Uma Thurman attends the Moet & Chandon and FilmAid Asia Power of Film Gala in Hong Kong in a custom Versace gown accessorized with a Kotur ‘Pearce’ Minaudière.

“Any of you fuckers have anything bad to say about my dress NOW?”

Well, maybe just a little bit. It’s a beautiful color and it drapes well, but it’s really, really satiny-shiny and there’s just way too much fabric gathered under her boobs. Still, it’s a marvel of fabric engineering that it actually does fit her quite well. It’s just that it makes her look a little bit broader and thicker than she is. Love the neckline and the split sleeve. Love the hair too, but someone set the makeup gun too high.

Yes why is her face looking so severe? No wonder she came armed with a katana

Not crazy about the angle of most of these shots.

  I think the lighting makes the shots look worse, too. Terry Richardson Couture.

    Couldn’t agree more. Though I think she looks amazeballs, the lighting is horrific.

  Totally. Weird, right?
- BigWhiteGrannyPanties
  
  It looks like the photographer was drunk or was three feet tall.

“Too high” is an understatement. Looks more like they set the makeup gun on “annihilate”. It doesn’t even look like her… looks more like Leona Helmsley.
- annyb
  
  First thought on makeup: “Plank-like”.
  - yethica
    
    I was thinking plastic. And not only as a description of its resemblance to the material.
Little_Olive

She looks… like someone else.

This is too complicated for its own good and for her. I think she rocks the more simple, structural, muted (in terms of shine) gowns.

To sum it up: Girl, that is not your dress, your makeup or your hair.

The dress is a little too mother of the bride for me. But I would never tell her that, I don’t want her snatching out my eyeball.
- charlotte
  
  As in “mother of the Kill Bill bride”?

  You will have snow falling on your brain!

That color in a different fabric, probably a different story, but it does make her look wider than I’m sure she is.
Judy_S

I love this. I think she looks good “thicker.” Especially when wielding the sword.
babylonsista

It’s a gorgeous color, but the draping makes it look like the dress is an odd fit.

Also: That fourth photo? Uma got a donk.
A. W.

Wow, she looks… rough.

This doesn’t even look like Uma Therman…

  No kidding. I keep thinking that she’s a really slight woman so she must have put on weight to look like that.
PastryGoddess

Does the photographer hate Uma? Those are some seriously unflattering shots of her? The hair I like, the dress is ok. The warpaint is set on “burn and pillage” rather than “terrify and harass”

She looks like Angie Dickenson reincarnated!
- Adriana_Paula
  
  I was thinking exactly that!
- e jerry powell
  
  Hells yeah!

  bite your tongue. angie hasn’t died yet.

I love how long and amazing her legs look in that first pic.
Pants_are_a_must

Winsletting it up, I see. (Winslet circa 2005, I mean, and in a good way)
formerlyAnon

Either the makeup or the lighting is waaaay less flattering than is normal on the red carpet. I’m voting with lighting, because the skin on her arms is also approaching a “real” person in “real” life tone.

I think the dress is a tad – operatic? Valkyric? – or maybe the sword primed me to think so. But on the whole it looks good.
- Adriana_Paula
  
  Valkyric is my new favorite word.

The dress is pretty awesome, and she looks GREAT, but she’s almost unrecognizable. Definitely too much “warpaint.”
Sobaika

It all amounts to rather aging, unfortunately.
http://dontmakeitlikeimdumb.blogspot.com/ annabelle archer

Um, she has certainly looked…better. I’d elaborate, but I’d like to keep my head attached to my body and bitch has a sword. On the red carpet. Only The Bride could get away with that.
Monday1900

I thought that was Angie Dickenson! I wouldn’t recognize her in a line up. Dress is meh.

  That’s who it is! Thank you! I couldn’t place it.

Getting ready for Kill Bill 3, Miss Uma? Please?
Imasewsure

It’s a cool look on her but a little bit matronly… makeup is too harsh for the photo but maybe inside the dark Gala is would look less severe
CeeQ

Yeah that make-up is way too strong, it’s all I can focus on. The dress though is lovely, I have no complaints.

I see that one of the sponsors is Moet. Maybe the saber was so she could use it to open bottles of champagne as (supposedly) Napoleon used to. It’s a trick that’s still used at high-end military affairs & such.

The dress? Sort of cheap and awful looking. I do like the earrings.

  Makes a hell of a mess when your drunk uncle tries it at Christmas with a carving knife.

  Re: sword, yes, that’s what I assumed, too. Like a cavalry officer.

It doesn’t even look like her.
And I have some chocolates that are wrapped exactly like that.
peachy

alllright…who is that REALLY? you saaay it’s uma thurman, but i think we all know better. this is ellen barkin! in her living room drapery!
- Indigo54
  
  OMG, I said the same thing!!! This can’t be Uma, no way.
  - AwwwTrouble
    
    I agree – I looked at each picture and thought there’s no way that’s Uma. It’s not even close.
Tatiana Luján

that makeup is sooo stale.
That, combined with the satiny look of the fabric, makes her look dated.
amyfromnj

This dress would look great on Christina Hendricks. Justsayin.
- e jerry powell
  
  But Christina Hendricks couldn’t work the sword. Her funbags would get in the way.
capybara_cafe

I like the idea of this dress, but it just doesn’t look good on her. I almost feel like it’s making her look older, but that could be the really intense makeup.
http://twitter.com/urban_gypsy Tess Danesi

Wow, that is one hell of a spackle job someone evil did to her face. Uma is a beauty with NO makeup and that is rare. Whoever did this to her needs to be bitchslapped, hard.
tereliz

LOL at the sword. She just wants to remind Danai Gurira who did it first.

I really like the dress, but the makeup looks spackled on. Lighting is bad, but not that bad.
Jecca2244

To me, Versace custom never looks like Versace…
marilyn

This overall look makes her look older than she is. Someone needs to be fired.
Sharyn McHenry

She looks exactly like Angie Dickenson.

  *snaps* That’s it!
nannypoo

This person is unrecognizable as Uma Thurman. The gladiator dress, laquered hair and Mask o’ Makeup are painful to behold.
http://twitter.com/jennsaysmeow Fifi LaRoux

Is she in the family way? Because this dress is making it seem that way….
alyce1213

It’s not only the makeup. Maybe it’s not the makeup at all — the lighting is ATROCIOUS.
There are shadows all over her face, it is harsh. Poor Uma.
Zippypie

That’s UMA? I would have never recognized her. Ever.
http://twitter.com/#!/Space_Kitty Space Kitty

She should take that sword to whoever did the lighting in that place, but I really like the construction and color of the dress.
MK03

…are you sure that’s Uma Thurman? ‘Cuz it sure don’t look like her.
http://twitter.com/wendylogic Wendy

most shiny fabric looks cheap to me……and WAY, WAY too much make up……
beebee10

when you take a gorgeous woman like Uma, dress her up in boudoir drapes, coat her in make-up, shine high beams at her, and then shoot her from underneath, you are working for the devil.
- makeityourself
  
  This photographer was either sitting or on his/her knees. You could be shooting Grace Kelly at age 24 and she would look awful from this angle.
frannyprof

this is not good. I agree, the camera angles are doing her no favors, but neither is the dress, the hair, the makeup…
- e jerry powell
  
  You see the katana, right? Chill out or she will cut you like Lucy Liu at the end of Kill Bill 1.
jmorino08

All that matters is that she feels like she if fucking rocking that look! That makes all the difference in the world when it comes to potentially problematic fashion, does it not?
MintaHallWriter

Does anyone else but me think that it doesn’t even LOOK like Uma Thurmon? Are we talking serious surgery or what?
e jerry powell

But, yeah, she does look like Not Uma Thurman.
http://www.facebook.com/people/Sonja-Brisson/1156967466 Sonja Brisson

OK, for those of you mature enough to remember — she is morphing into Angie Dickinson!! Which is not a bad thing, but just about the furthest from the previous incarnation of Uma that I can imagine. For those of you sufficiently long in the tooth to remember, isn’t it so?
- librarygrrl64
  
  OMG, THANK YOU!!!!! It was driving me crazy who she reminded me of!
librarygrrl64

I assume the sword is for opening a bottle of champagne cavalry-officer style?
http://twitter.com/bert_keeter bert keeter

Something about this, the color or whatever, makes her look mature and dull.
- Chantelle James
  
  Agreed. The shine makes her skin look comparatively dull and the colour does her no favours. That makeup and hair are much too harsh for the lighting, her dress, and her skin.
http://twitter.com/lenabena_ Elena

When I saw these pictures earlier, I had no idea it was Uma Thurman. What is going on with her face?
MzzPants

That makeup job makes her unrecognizable. The dress is fab, though.
GorgeousThings

Oh no. Honey, you are not Ellen Barkin. PLEASE don’t go there.
mary McCall

Who is this women and what have they done with Uma Thurman?
http://twitter.com/crush_onyou crush on you

Yeah, no. Nonononono. The dress is beautiful (and although it does add some weight to her lean figure, it looks good on her), her purse is a beauty, jewelry is fine…. But she’s wearing a *frickin mask*! No wonder she’s unrecognizable here.
Anniebet

Madame Tussauds? Not a bad copy, they just didn’t get the face right.
H2olovngrl

Her make up looks craze balls.
judybrowni

This is Uma Thurman from the future: the well-preserved 50 year-old Uma.
http://www.facebook.com/tiyuju Yuju Ti

Did she have plastic surgery?? I can’t recognize her at all!!
http://twitter.com/lolacestmoi Lola Channing

if you judge the appearance in its entirety, I’d have to say: not looking good Uma. She looks tired, old and water-rententive. And she is none of these things. I am just being mean.
http://twitter.com/lolacestmoi Lola Channing

who took these pictures anyways? He or she needs to go back to 101 photography school: never shoot below eye-level. Ever.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2CNDPMVO4W23R5TVC2QMTJ5BZE Heather

It’s like when you’re in a dressing room trying on bathing suits, and they have that awful overhead lighting that makes horrific shadows, so that even the slightest dimple (ie cellulite) look like a giant crater. Poor Uma.
http://profile.yahoo.com/37TPKASIMXVUPYK5BNQFOL43KU Carina

Wow this whole ensemble makes her look a decade older. Lighten up Uma. You’re the Bride, for god’s sake.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000905542323 Rhonda Shore

It looks better when she’s hoisting the sword because you don’t focus on the pleating and crystals (or whatever they are)…a bit too busy. Great color though.
lobsterlen

This is the second lady star recently featured here that is unrecognizable to me. First Renee Z now Uma. Actually the sword is the only thing that looks like Uma in this photo.

She looks like Angie Dickinson from the 1970′s. Bizarre.
hellkell

Oh, honey, that’s not your face.
Cathy S

Yeah, the weaponry is great, but not so much the dress. Beautiful color though.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JSGAZPEESHQT47ATH55GNOHHBY Erin

I kind of like the dress, but her makeup is horrible. She looks ten years older than the last photograph I saw of her.
EEKstl

I would probably have more tolerance for this dress if it weren’t shiny. Great color for her.
Connie Harbor

I liked her old face better; before she had ‘work’ done.
rh33

Wow..in some of these shots she looks like Angie Dickinson.
http://twitter.com/CaitrinofFenris Caitrin

It looks like she came from a movie studio where the makeup is exaggerated for whatever type of cameras they got going.
libraangel

Too severe. And why doesn’t Uma Thurman look like Uma Thurman anymore?!
kathrineb

Don’t know how flattering it is to have oddles of gathering is on a curvy figure. Don’t me wrong her figure is killer but the dress is too fussy.
fursa_saida

I really need all the ladystars to start showing up with weapons. PAGING ARYA STARK.
