This is typically flattering and well thought-out.
This photo has the strange effect of making Joan Smalls' right leg look like it's attached in the wrong place. The dress itself? Refried transparency.
... refried again and again...
... and again, and again. I fear this lineup is going to be the new version of that gangrene dress everyone inexplicably wore.
How To Widen Hips And Distort Crotches, by Stella McCartney. Coming soon to a bookseller near you.
Don't you sense a certain LOOK in the eye of the model on the right? A sense of desperation? A silent "I know, I can't believe this either" kind of wail?
And here's another pantsuit Stella can wear without hemming it first.
And MORE. These aren't awful but there's something very Stella's Footsoldiers about it.
This reminds me of 13 Going on 30, and that scene they used on all the posters where J.Gar is desperate to get out of the house so she throws a coat on over her silky nightie. Except that coat was actually cute.
I couldn't hate those shoes more. She looks like she's on her way to take a shower in the dorm.
This is a perfectly adequate shirt-dress and then THOSE SHOES AGAIN.
At least this time we can't SEE the shoes. We will also surely see this on Rihanna, right? Although I feel like we already DID see it on Rihanna.
It's fine. Next.
I don't hate it, and then the skirt happens and I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO HAVE A NEW IDEA.
I'm a bit depressed by this. And her bangs are giving me the finger.
Whatever, ti's fine, someone's stylist will fix whatever is wonky about it and then I AM GOING TO PUT THOSE SHOES IN THE OVEN ON 450 AND COOK UNTIL DEAD.
Cute coat?
All right, I don't hate that. Maybe Stella should ONLY make things that are kin to jackets and blazers.
I take that back.
Of all her hideous jumpsuits and coveralls and whatnot, I hate this... less.
Ehhhhh. Nice bra straps. But I guess at least everything in this is supported.
Potentially okay if it were fitted.
Everything just feels overly big, but not in that "hip and well-tailored volume" kind of way; rather, in a dowdy one.
More peekaboo thigh. This sounds like an iPhone app. Peekaboo Thigh. They DO have Peekaboo Barn and the like...
This at least feels marginally crisper, but only marginally.
AND MORE, this time with more unflattering volume to go with it. Because it's best to pile on the fug.
If ANYONE wears this, it's Gwyneth, who is the only person in the world who can wear white and not ruin it with stains (or so it feels like). But I bet, at most, we'll see the coat.
What a gorgeous deep red that's being ill-used here. Sigh.
