Only Gwen could pull this off, really, and even make it REMOTELY make sense. Also, I don't know WHY, but I agree with Fug Nation that she looks sort of different. Not unrecognizably so, to me, but just... I can't put my finger on it (here is an older close-up, for comparison). You're going to think this is nuts, but Jess and I both thought she looks weirdly like Tori Spelling in this photo, which I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT BEFORE, EVER, and may not think again, but... there it is.
This is... a screamingly loud experience. Weirdly, I would consider having it again, if her head didn't look so... let's say irked.
Let us pull no punches: I hate this and the couch it rode in on.
Monique totally gave herself the cutest dress of the pack. And you know what? I would have, too, probably, because WHY NOT. Abigal looks like she got stuck in a fisherman's net, Louise Roe looks insane, Jamie Chung's dress might be cute, and Jennifer Morrison... well, I have an appreciation for it only because I have seen what she changed OUT of to come to the show. Which is...
This is a failure on every level. Well, I mean, I guess the seams have held together? So it is a success in that regard. But otherwise, it is hideous home-cooking. AND THE HAIR. I can't, Jennifer.
That keyhole looks so much MORE like a keyhole than I expected. I wonder... if the makeup looked better in person.
Well played, SJP.
She looks SO GOOD in this. I love it. She is a classy dame.
This is cockamamie and also kind of fun on her. Especially when compared to...
Selenis looks GREAT and Jackie looks kind of like the bridesmaid at your wedding who was allowed to buy her own gown in a certain color and should not have been given that freedom.
Her dress is Nonoo and it's SO CUTE. Her jewelry is, as she called it, Icelandic bone jewelry from a brand called Kria. Her bracelet is a fish bone.
I want to love this, but she looks too much like a cheerleader wearing her uniform to school on game day.
This. Is. Awful. Sophia Bush is a really, really pretty girl, but pulling off this shit requires next-level Diane Kruger mojo, and even THAT might be hard. The tube slip under that thing is doing eight injustices to her form. And possibly her privacy.
Emmy looks boring, but what great lipstick. I want to love Heidi's dress SO MUCH but I just wish it weren't see-through up the thigh right there. The rest is so good.
I LOVE this. I think she looks adorable. I want it in my closet.
This is disturbingly Kardashian-adjacent. STAY STRONG, SHAY.
This is basically one of two times a year when we cover her -- she is the daughter of Carine Roitfeld, most famously the former editrix of French Vogue -- and THAT THING IS AWFUL. Which is exactly why I couldn't resist showing you. It's the messiest hodgepodge of hilarribleness -- TOTAL "I'm Fashion Week famous" kind of stuff. Oh, Julia. You do not look French Cool. You look French Insane. I can't. And yet, it's so bad that I also sort of CAN.
