Like so many before her, Cameron Diaz decided to change out of her well-fitted red-carpet gown and into something bolder for the post-parties.
Orange is great on her, even if it's a touch snug. Tight as a drum. Then again, I guess a girl doesn't spend months flipping monster truck tires with A.Rod to wear a muumuu to the freaking Oscars. She earned every last muscle; I just wonder if she needed to squeeze them so hard that they mate with her ribs.
Let's zoom in on the shoulders, and no, I don't mean her muscles:
There's something funky about this, but there's also something industrial-strength-lingerie about it, like the early prototype for a bra that somebody modeled after a backpack.
And then there's this, which I do at least like better than the exposed zippers that just hang in the middle of a dress like they're sticking out a tongue at us. This at least appears both designed and functional, as opposed to unfinished. But I wonder if she miscalculated. SURELY you don't wave that kind of a dare in front of your boyfriend's ex, Jennifer Lopez, and expect to stay covered all night. I cherish imagining that J.Lo skulked around "dropping food" and "rubbing her feet" while slowly snaking that sucker up into the Northern Territory.
