Rosamund Pike
Believe it or not, I -- YES, I, THE MOST BASIC OF BITCHES! -- like this from the side. I mean, it's highly eccentric, but I enjoy it. It's a fun mash-up. It's quirky. She's like that. IT'S FINE. I CAN DEAL. But then...

Like, this angle just looks like a strapless dress that ripped up the side, and the solution was to wear pants underneath it. Which, if that were the case, I would applauding the moxie and DIY can-do-it-iveness, anyway. Even her face is like, "please don't catch on to what's actually happening here, you guys."

I do like the Grecian lines of the back, and, in fact, when I first saw this dress, this was the first photo I saw and I thought that her pants leg was a black tuxedo stripe. A more innocent time.

Ah, what might have been!
Rosamund Pike and David Oyelowo
On the other hand, David Oyelowo seems totally okay with it, so who am I to judge?
