She was, it seems, really feeling a boot this year. I wish she had better TASTE in boots? This outfit has a cute '80s rock vibe that could've stood for some more modern shoes.
Taryn Manning
Are these the same boots, in green? Or the same boots, but with the camera playing a trick on my sad old eyes? Is she in a poorly styled girl band?
Taryn Manning
The athletic shorts and pseudo-Uggs on the red carpet take me RIGHT back.
Taryn Manning
BUT WHAT IN THE NAME OF HELLFIRE ARE THOSE?

I wonder what Santa Monica Pier is like now. Certainly not teeming with starlets and their dogs hoping for a pap sighting. ... Well it might be, but the paps don't seem to be there to see it.

Her Ski Jazzercise cassette drops next week!

Whereas this lady looks innocent but will absolutely burn down your hotel with hate candles. And the boots are ghastly.
Taryn Manning
Okay, the belt around her labia is one thing, but also, why is she standing by a Christmas tree with... what ARE those down there? Clumps of animal print? I feel like I see a snake's face?!?

This was Elton John's Oscars party, which... is not this casual anymore, certainly, if it even was then.
Taryn Manning
THEY'RE BACK.
Taryn Manning
A cute sweater, undone by pants that surely do not cover her entire butt.
Taryn Manning
Why did people WEAR such things? How did anyone sit down? And WHY is she so misguided with pairing boots and outfits?
Taryn Mannin
The proportions here are all wrong, Taryn! That three inches between pant and boot are so awkward! 2004, YOU FIEND!
Taryn Mannin
Wait this is reasonable. I don't LIKE the boots, but this outfit has some actual potential.
Taryn Manning
These pants are not boots. But they are trying to be.
Taryn Mannin
SURPRISE! The ending is not boots, but... BRITNEY PANTS??? Was she just feeling nostalgic for Crossroads?
