Carrie Underwood in Mikael D
Having said all of that, there is something I like about this dress. It's unusual, and it's cool the way that fabric is draped to make the patches of skin look almost like swatches of color in the fabric.
But there is also something a little cheesy about it, and I can't tell if that's my bias about Carrie Underwood -- historically, she has tended toward the fromage -- or if the fabric is simply a pretty idea that's not super sophisticated in its execution. Help me out here. Honestly, I think I am wishing we couldn't see any actual flowers, and that the whole thing just looked streaked, like the top.

Fine, but not altogether interesting. And yes, I'd have gone for a bolder lip.

And of course, she's continuing her trend of post-apocalyptic J.Lo stage wear. But if you're worried about people seeing up her skirt here...

Don't, because reader, IT'S PANTS.
Also, does it seem like an especially lazy design flaw that we can see a black band of... something... underneath the illusion netting? You can also see the tube top bra (hey, at least there IS one). I think I object less to the tube top than the fact that the scroll work on her groin looks so pubic from this angle.
