I kind of hated this when I first saw it, because it's so... stern. But the iridescent belt is fun, and this fits nicely, and she's so PRETTY< and... listen, let's be honest, we often apply our own fears to these things. And my fear is sweat stains, or at least, here it is. So I look at this gown and see only the potential for lakes and lakes of salty water ruthlessly staining the pits. And then I shudder and then I go into a brief coma.
The different ways the light catches the cummerbund are cool, and I like that it's recessed into the outfit a little. But this photo also illuminates some of the other difficulties with wearing a cut like that: namely, the way it wrinkles and pulls. The lines are disrupted every time she needs to bend her elbow, for instance, and it's creasing around her chest strangely.
The back is groovy, though. She actually looks like Jessica Chastain in this photo. So, Fug Nation: Love it? Loathe it? Fug it? Fab it? Or do you have notes that could push it into your win column?
