    Wow – it’s everything we’ve all been hatin’ for months rolled up in one.  Too bad – she’s so cute.  But this is NOT her look!!

  • http://twitter.com/LianaBrooks Liana Brooks

    She looks melted and washed out. The proportions are off, and the color is horrible on her.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_BUKL3CV3Y66UWR7BWYJMPSDRR4 Annie

      amen

    • AlexisPayne

      Totally, that top is not helping the ladies. Kinda love the clutch, but she needs some color.

  • mozzer0906

    Girl, you are too busty for that dress…

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VA5XLSF3QRELSC3MUFSXLP4EIE rebecca

      My first thought exactly. All wrong on her.

    • Lina_bee

       And she’s not even all that busty, considering — it’s not like she’s got Katy Perry’s rack. What a terrible bit of design on Dior’s part.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1401197785 Jennifer Peters-Ahnberg

      Exactly. Looks great on the model, total mother-of-the-groom on Anna.

  • http://twitter.com/luqluqe LuqeMann

    She face the same problem with Marion Cotilard (also in Dior) a few post ago- too much boobs for the dress. 

    • MilaXX

       Agreed, and just like in Marion’s case lining it adds bulk.

  • http://twitter.com/holocausticity E. Sevilla

    LOL at the fit up top. that’s not a dress for someone who has more than a hint of a rack. shoes are weird, they look like cornettos.  :(

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/C5V2EGUMM2GBH5YBQ74Y4SUOQM Maev

    Those shoes with the metal caps need to go – I know they hardly even a ‘thing’ but I disapprove all the same.

    • siriuslover

      especially since the color of the shoes matches her skin tone exactly. It looks like the has metal toes and that’s it. Really weird choice.

    • Terrie_S

      I hate those shoes so much that I barely notice the dress. So, I guess they serve some sort of purpose.

  • http://www.MintaHall.com/ Minta Hall

    Gurl, this is Not Your Dress. Or Shoes. Cute clutch, though.

  • cmb92191

    Let that dress go free for someone with a less busty figure.

  • cmb92191

    This is a classic example of looks great on the hangar (or model) but not the client.

  • chelwi

    Hair & makeup are cute, but this dress is SOOOO unflattering. What an unfortunate color on her.

  • Beth G

    Anything that is a color for the l’egg collection of ’78 should be banned… from everything.

    • Spreecord

      From everything, forever.

  • Judy_S

    I could deal with the blah color on Naomi Watt for some reason, but on her it looks truly blah. I also hate those shoes.

  • MilaXX

    Cute dress, killer shoes. Please give it to a woman with darker skin tone and go get you a frock with color.

  • Lilyana_F

    This dress can be pulled off by a model-type girl – tall, no boobs only

  • Sharyn Glowatz

    love the dress on the model, this is not her dress and she’s adorable. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/samuel.j.donovan Samuel Joesph Donovan

    She looks great, somehow–it her face; it detracts from the horrible-ness of everything else going on in the ensemble.  I kind of want to give her a ‘werq’ just for that, for being able to distract us from how awful her outfit is with how GREAT her face is.

  • sherrietee

    Her boobs look sad.  No one under the age of 30 should have boobs that look sad.

  • formerlyAnon

    Nice clutch.

    Full stop.

  • Jangle57

    Love it on the model, absolutely hate it on her

  • In_Stitches

    Limp efforts on hair and makeup, unflattering dress in a non-color that broadens her shoulders and truly nude pumps with a gold cap?  Come ON.  OUT.

  • http://twitter.com/Coloradowomyn Kimberly S-W

    It’s all wrong in the boobage area.  Sad.

  • ccinnc

    I’m going to be critical of every dress I see that’s in this washed out color, no matter who wears it, who designed it or how beautiful it is otherwise. Stylists, STOP.

  • http://opinionandamovie.blogspot.com/ Deitra S.

    I honestly just looked at these pictures to see if I could spot Edgar Wright anywhere in the background, but seeing his girlfriend in a truly hideous dress was welcome alternative.  Thanks for making this bitter kitten purr, TLo.

  • Spreecord

    If I see one more dress in the colour of my mom’s 20+ year old bras, I just might scream. It’s like she’s wearing a lingerie lampshade.

  • schadenfreudelicious

     there are times when bigger is not better, as in your boobs if you want to wear this dress…..

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/K3O2QNXDJIU3AJINAGNJRYWDZ4 mrspotts66

    ugh.   NO.  just…no.

  • Anna Tree

    Throws the proportions of her chestal area way off. She looks like her boobs have migrated south to her belly button and she is waaay to young for such a thing. Horrendous. Also, those shoes just compound the problem.

  • plinkiedoodle

    Well, this just breaks every single Tom and Lorenzo rule.  

  • http://twitter.com/Hussified Coleen

    She is too busty and too short to pull off this look properly. It’s sad, too, because on the model it looks dreamy.

  • Cecilia Evans

    I’m getting a little bored with the flesh dresses.  Come on ladies, you’re thin and rich!  Throw on some color!

  • http://twitter.com/Kathy_Marlow Kathy Marlow

    She looks terrible from the neck down, neck up, pretty!

  • Lina_bee

    Again, it’s a dress for very tall, waif-thin women with dark skin tones. This is wasted on anyone over an A-cup, below 5’9″, and paler than Freida Pinto. Way to design to a niche-market, Dior.

  • Anathema_Device

    Oh no. Terrible dress on her. The sheer part on the chest make is look like she has really crepey skin. I can see why this was a whiteboard entry: these issues come up time and time again, primarily matching your dress AND shoes to your skin tone. Plus, that bodice makes her look matronly. And she’s not.

  • AzulFashion

    dumpy.  so sad.

  • MsKitty

    The metallic bands make it look like her girls are drooping down to her navel. Not a good look.

  • kelsita421

    **shudder**

  • Blondella

    I like the metallic parts of the dress, but the coloring of the rest is weird with her skin tone.

  • marjzilla

    i can’t help but think how that clutch will have fingerprints all over it.  and how you can’t have any boobs to wear that dress.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=610791985 Aniela Marie Perry

    Like a warm bowl of pudding….Love the clutch and, dare I say, the shoes.

  • crash1212

    Jeez. Enough with these fleshy-tones dresses already! SO BORING! Also, this doesn’t quite fit. That upper band wasn’t made for boobular action and the proportions seem…off. Love the shoes and bag.

  • http://profiles.google.com/sara.e.munoz Sara Munoz

    Wow, talk about your matchy shoes!

  • ChiKat67

    Oh, NOOO. This is the 2nd Dior dress that has managed to add 15 lbs to the midsection of a tiny starlet.  For shame!

  • Jessica O’Connell

    She looks frumpy and washed out. Not good…at all.

  • charlotte

    She seems to be Marion Cotillard’s partner in crime.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Laura-Hand/34501967 Laura Hand

    That is the exact color of her skin. Not good.

  • siriuslover

    It’s a great concept, but she looks kind of frumpy in it, especially the way the top is sitting on her.

  • VicksieDo

    B L A H

  • Snailstsichr

    At first I thought she was actually pregnant. Having been told I was pregnant when I wasn’t, I can tell Anna that she needs to bundle up the entire outfit and give it to Goodwill pronto. Or burn it. You will feel better. sorta.

  • Jennifer Hofstetter

    This is super awful.

  • Sara__B

    Utterly beige and nearly invisible, except for her hair and eyes.

  • marilyn

    I applaud her good sense to make the skirt opaque, not see-through as on the runway model.  She may be too short-waisted for this dress.  The gold band at the shoulder and the other at the waistband are too close together.  The effect is lost.  It turned into a folkdancing costume.  She is beautiful, and this is a minor glitch.  Better luck next time!

  • Isana Leshchinskaya

    when i saw the thumbnail, i thought her hand looked like a corpse’s. girl’s got cool undertones; she should have worn something silvery that didn’t match her skin, starting with that gold clutch and polish.

  • TheOriginalLulu

    I mean, I know it’s Dior and all and we’re supposed to be like ooooooh, aaaaah, but it’s kind of ugly. Unflattering. I can’t see that thing looking good on anybody.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Julie-Chase/731391326 Julie Chase

    I feel like it’s *this close* to me liking it, but I can’t pinpoint what feels off.

  • Julaine Morley

    Despite a not-so-flattering hairstyle, she’s beautiful. Not so, the sad little dress that couldn’t flatter even a much longer-torsoed woman. And the shoes look slightly surgical.

  • PaulaBerman

    Girl, that’s not your dress. It’s possibly not anyone’s dress.

  • http://twitter.com/jessicapippin Jessica Pippin

    This is unfortunate. I like it in the second picture, but that’s probably the angle. She looks much better from the side. Still….color is too close to her skin tone.

    I love the shoes, but not on her. There’s no contrast! 

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jessica-TallGirl-Freeman/1043623567 Jessica TallGirl Freeman

    That dress is tragic.  

  • allisankelly

    What an ugly dress trying to be pretty.

  • TieDye64

    Oh dear, this won’t do. Poor thing looks frumpy and matronly. Nothing good to say, or see, here.

  • Srw27

    Why is she all one color??

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1344314000 Anne Meek White

    No, Anna. Take it back. Fire everyone.

  • guest2visits

    Love this dress; but it seems to be a little saggy in front compared to the model. Very soft and light, and the fabric has a
    tiny bit of dewy shimmer, giving it some more life than a flat nude material would.  This might have worked better full length
    on Anna, since it looks like material was added to keep it from being see through.  She’s looking very pretty and love the shoes too.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ENBX3563Q4ZNCVRGSJVFIB7OAA Thom

    That color is overwhelmingly wrong on her: nothing else can be critiqued, until the color is rectified (Also: trying to match accessories to dress.)

  • lojoso

    Not. Your. Dress.

  • sashaychante

    Dreadful color.  The band across her bust isn’t doing her any favors.  The top of the dress looks better on a flatter chest.

  • aristida_girl

    I love that clutch! But  girls with boobs should not wear this dress, it looks frumpy on her

  • HobbitGirl

    I’m going to cite Edna Mode here: NO CAPES.

    I realize it’s not actually a cape, but it looks like that from the front. Honey, just no.

  • mjude

    i dont think so.  not flattering at all.

  • KELLEYKAT

    LOVE the clutch!!!  
    Girl, this is not your dress…she has the expression of knowing that this is not her dress.  Cannot seem to make it werq.  Too bad, neck up she looks pretty.

  • piecesofconfetti

    Leave this dress for Taylor Swift (so we could all say, “Of course” and move along). 

  • http://twitter.com/delysia_lafosse Delysia LaFosse

    This looks like a dress that only works on the runway. The modifications that had to be made to make it work for a non-fashion show setting ruin the ethereal quality it has on the runway. I doubt it would be working for her even if it weren’t the same color as her skin and all of her accessories weren’t obnoxiously matchy (even though I actually like both the clutch and – surprisingly – the mostly nude pumps).

  • nancymae

    Love those shoes!

  • MzzPants

    NO MORE NUDE.  Unless you’re a fabulous dark skinned woman.

  • butter nut

    she’s trying so hard to be invisible, but i don’t think it’s working.

  • turtleemily

    Did Buffalo Bill make this dress for her?

  • enid soto

    Sad boobs.

  • http://twitter.com/GaraStJames Gara St. James

    Did the stylist hate her? Everything looks wrong. Her boobs look droopy, her waist is made too thick with that belt, and the swirling fabric of non-color is sloppy looking.

  • http://twitter.com/dixielou8 Ashley

    Drab, very drab…

  • http://twitter.com/flo_whytingale Florence Whytingale

    NO sweetie, just no.

  • http://www.facebook.com/lydia.manalo Lydia Manalo

    Nope.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/toodleskitty79?feature=guide AWS

    She looks so uncomfortable I feel very sorry for her…

  • http://twitter.com/TigerLaverada TigerLaverada

    Blurg. I have had it with cadaver-toned see-through dresses, not to mention shoes of the same hue. WTF are designers drinking these days that makes them think this looks good? It looks like shit on the runway and predictably awful on this girl.

  • http://twitter.com/jaythenerdkid Aaminah Khan

    I know the dress basically matches her skin tone, but I still think she looks kind of ethereal and pretty in this.

  • Zippypie

    Her breasts look like they are hanging down around her waist.  And someone please PLEASE burn these beige dresses.  Please.

  • kikisayshi

    Not this girl’s dress!

  • NurseEllen

    This is NOT a dress to wear if you have an actual bustline.  The color and the hairstyle are doing nothing for her.  And I can’t imagine carrying that clutch……it must get fingerprints all over it and need constant buffing.  

  • Judy_J

    Dress looks way better on the model.  Makes Anna look dumpy.

  • reddhouston

    This look not so good on her, I think it will only work on women with small breasts, so that the top part doesn’t seem to be pulling so much, but rather “floating” in place like on the runway shot.

  • clairellis

    This is bad. All bad.

  • http://twitter.com/nonchalantanna Anna

    This dress is NOT a good shape for her and the colors of the entire outfit are ALL WRONG. Girl, that is not your dress.

  • http://www.facebook.com/ali.sharpe.6 Ali Sharpe

    Oh, god, WHAT?

    ..like WHAT?
