Kristin Chenoweth wore this to the Oscars, and I wasn't blown away by it then, either. Parts of it are glitteringly beautiful, but there's something about that detail in the middle that creates a really weird optical illusion, like there's a bell over her womb, or a chalice that's been upended.

I mean, I really think she is way hotter than whatever this is doing to her. Now it looks like a very nice margarita glass has been sewn to her front and camouflaged.

I was only showing you this picture because I hate the bum view (it makes it look bionic). But then I noticed that the top isn't zipped. I can't tell if it's meant to be that way (if it IS, then that's a really ugly design), or if it just simply... didn't. I read that she was delayed and therefore ran late to this, and so maybe this is part and parcel of whatever logistical snafus derailed her day. But if it's just that it simply couldn't zip, then I feel for her, because she is a huge star in her homeland and I hate that she was allowed to go down a major red carpet in a dress that didn't love her. Like, y'all, she has a gorgeous figure. her body is blameless here. Get her something that fits, or get another job... is what I would have said if I were her crabby personal assistant.

By comparison this one is a lot better -- it just seems easier on her.

We also need to discuss why this woman doesn't have a huge haircare campaign over her yet.*** LOOK AT THAT STUFF. It's silken joy.
*** NEVER MIND, apparently she does and I am just in a hole and didn't know it. THANK GOD. It feels like a just world when hair like that gets celebrated.
