    Gorgeous gown, but did she steal that necklace from a head-hunter? Yellow with purple…very eighties (my bathroom…)

    • HomeOfficeGirl

      Agreed – the necklace is odd.  But the dress is fantastic and she looks amazing in it!  Love!

    • http://twitter.com/BMoke28 Bernadette Moke

      Purple and yellow complimentary colors. It doesn’t bother me as much as her black satin platform shoes and that face… tragic with all that plastic and fillers…. she can barely open her eyes.

    • Qitkat

      Yellow and purple bathroom? Yikes! Though maybe you love it. Makes me think of the DIY show Bathtastic, where they grab people at Lowes and follow them home for a makeover.

      Yellow with purple is very complementary more than 80s, in my opinion. 

    • Amy Ellinger

      Maybe she’s a big LSU fan?

  • Cheri Lee

    Gorgeous dress. The color is just beautiful and she wears it well and her hair is soft and pretty.

    I like the pairing of the yellow necklace but I am not thrilled with the style of it. It looks like shark’s teeth. Is she going to a Dave Matthew’s concert later? Also the shoes make her feet look like Herman Munster, that is never good.

    I love this dress although it seems like she’s about one deep breath away from falling right out of it.

    i can’t look at anything but her face @______@ (sorry it’s practically begging to be said, even though it’s old as fuck) 

  • http://profiles.google.com/melantha.chimera Eileen Duffy

    What did she do to her face?!?
    That said, love the gown, though some spaghetti straps wouldn’t be out of place. :)

  • schadenfreudelicious

    yet another bodice sitting too low on the boobs……

    • janiemary

      Or the boobs were implanted too high!!

    • Carla_Charlton

      It’s the rare woman who can wear a strapless dress and not look like it’s slipping down her chest.  Overall, this looks ages her by at least 15 years — the heavy-duty cleavage, the hair, the plastic surgery, the tacky shoes.

      • http://twitter.com/jennsaysmeow Fifi LaRoux

         The plastic surgery was because of a hideous car crash. TLo has decreed we aren’t allowed to mock her for it.

  • Karen Tully

    She’s trying so hard to be all that and a bag of chips, and all I can see is that she used to be beautiful and let some hack destroy her face.

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

    The necklace is scary. Pull up to bodice and it’d be super pretty look overall. 

  • minnye

    What a beautiful color, and that style is perfect on her. I like that odd yellow pointy necklace with it.

  • Shoelover1512

    Beautiful dress…seems to small for her boobs though. And a lighter shoe would have been much better.

  • http://twitter.com/KEi_Pop_Designs KEi

    The shoes feel heavy and I don’t like the necklace. Probably because it feels a bit heavy for the dress too. 

  • PastryGoddess

    Great dress, those shoes are tragic though

  • http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/ Tom and Lorenzo

    Guys, any comment about her face will be deleted. Thanks!

    • holdmewhileimnaked

      no– thank you.

    • Alyson Epstein

      why, was it a tragic accident?

  • http://profiles.google.com/anplica Anplica Fiore

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the dress!!  As others mentioned, the necklace doesn’t quite go with it.

  • TheOriginalLulu

    Beautiful dress, but my heart goes out to her boobs. Poor things are so squashed in there they look like they can’t breathe!

  • sashaychante

    Beautiful dress.  Those shoes are far too chunky/clunky for the dress.

  • Violina23

    It would be stunning if it only fit her boobs.

  • guest2visits

    No.  Puffy and swollen. She looks like she was up all night, and this looks like an overly vamped, campy nighty. Harsh.
    Killer shoes though.

    • Nariya

      This! I think it could be a nice dress, but it’s vamped up here in the wrooong way. And she totally slept in that face.

  • Qitkat

    Smashing color, but I’m worried if she steps on her hem, the entire dress will just slither down and puddle at her feet. Making her wish she had gone to pee (that pose!) and hiked it up to help cover those puppies a bit more.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1303837450 Lauren Dorsee Dillon

    The top is sliding down but maybe she likes it that way. I do not. She has ruined her face. Am I the only one who sees Botox for the Reptilian Woman creator it is? 

  • bluefish

    Monique Lhullier creates perfectly lovely things devoid of any real personality or style.  So here we have a beautiful dress in pretty shades of romantic twilight paired with clodhoppers on Rose McGowan.  Sharon Tate wore this number in a lighter color in Valley of the Dolls. Nothing wrong with that.  Until one looks at the ML price tag and all hell breaks loose.  And I’m a stickler — unless you are Liz Taylor, commit to the bodice and take off the necklace.

  • Lina_bee

    If only it fit.

  • MzzPants

    One deep breath, and it’s a Nipscrepancy fo’ sho’. 
    Plus…she’d smile bigger, but she’s been mainlining the botox for a couple o’ weeks now.

  • Alyson Epstein

    Oh look!  her and Lindsey are twinsies!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=703335175 Hannah Shmulsky

    AMAZING dress. The hair is perfect for this look. I don’t like the necklace or the shoes, but they’re easily forgiven. I don’t really mind that her bust is overwhelming the dress somewhat. She’s got it, she may as well flaunt it. And I love the attitude in the second pose! So spunky!

  • fireontiger

    The needs to pull that thing up. And put that necklace around the neck of a stylish bulldog, where it belongs.

  • LesYeuxHiboux

    Great dress, great necklace, terrible shoes. I am not sure the Pebbles and BamBam necklace goes with such a sweet dress, but I like the colorplay.

    • kimmeister

      The cavewoman necklace DEFINITELY does not go with the dress.

  • Macy Augustus

    Love the necklace, and that’s a great dress, but I’m not wowed.  I think it would look better if the dress were more vibrant and she’d opted for a better hair-do.  Shoes aren’t that great either.

  • cluecat

    It’s a striking dress but I think it’s just not flattering for her.   

    The cups and bodice are not adequate for someone of her bosomly proportions.  She has a toned body and one of the best natural racks around, yet, the fussy midsection makes her look thick, waistless (which she is obviously not.)  In fact the dress makes the tiny model look oddly bisected.  It looks like the designer wasn’t sure what to do with the convergence of fabric at the waistline, and tried to solve the issue with some weird seaming.  But the color choice is stunning and perfect to wear this time of year while the irises are blooming. Rose looks best when she keeps it simple with the cut, and gets a little more expressive with the print.  

  • http://twitter.com/Putting_On_Airs Kathleen

    I can’t get past the fact that it’s too small for her girls…

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

    I just want to walk up to her and yank up her dress.  I don’t like the necklace, it seems a bit casual.  The dress looks stunning on the  model, as it should on Rose, but it’s just not working.  

  • Sara__B

    Too bad she couldn’t (didn’t) have the gown altered to fit her bountiful breasts. Just because the dress zips doesn’t mean it fits!

  • MilaXX

    What the hell is on her neck? That’s looks like a child’s plastic dinosaur teeth necklace.  The rest of the look is pure soap opera awards show.
    FUG all around

    • makeityourself

      Thank you. I thought perhaps i was in the twilight zone until I got to your comment. This is a mess in every way. It’s too long, she’s too busty for this silhouette, the shoes are too heavy, the necklace is so wrong, and what had she done to her poor lips? Oh, and bad hair too.

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

    I think the necklace is awesome and really makes the look interesting. The dress is very pretty but it’s not like we’ve never seen ombre draped fabric before. The necklace really gives this look some edge.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/UTGALURO3K2NWLDN2A3SWHGMRA Lindsay

    Love the dress… just not on her.  She looks like a caricature of herself, you know those larger headed drawings that you get at the state fair.

  • SapphoPoet

    That necklace is very odd. I’m not sure about the bust of this gown (looks a bit small for her), but the rest is lovely. 

  • wordphreak

    She’s pretty, but graceless. Looks like a stripper trying to dress up.

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

    That dress is gorgeous and the color is great on her. I do wish it sat a little higher on her bosom though. Lighter shoes. Ditch the necklace. Rose, you could be a goddess if only you’d listen to the Bitter Kittens!

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

    Wish the bodice were pulled up a bit, looks like too much boobage is exposed, but for her, this is mostly a nice look.

  • NurseEllen

    She is one cough away from a wardrobe malfunction.  And the necklace is gross.  She looks like a REALLY dressed-up streetwalker.

  • http://gabyrippling.tumblr.com/ Gabriella M

    Pretty. She looks like she’s wearing an iris flower.

  • Dr. Derf van der Derf

    I thought she had chicken feet around her neck at first

  • petalfrog

    I love the yellow and purple together. Very original and funky. Her face makes me weep

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

    With a bit of a higher cut and different jewelry, this would be pretty gorgeous.

  • quiltrx

    LOVE this dress…might have needed a little enlargement in the bust, though!  She looks fabulous…and obviously has been studying her color wheel.

  • Sophie Collier

    She used to be soooo pretty.  ANYHOO… that necklace is pure Flintstones, innit?  Nice dress, though.

  • LambeeBaby

    LOVE the dress. The ombre is splendid. She looks spectacular.

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

    It’s a lovely dress, and perfectly suited to her (if the draping does make her seem curvier than usual), but the yellow is out of left field, and really grating against her skin, her hair, and the dress. With this shade of blue-violet, I think emerald green or red-orange could’ve looked less jarring.

  • PaulaBerman

    I am noticing a disturbing new fashion trend: dresses that are hanging too low in the front. This would be perfectly lovely if it were hiked up a few inches.

  • Valdri8

    I must just be really old. Does anyone find that stringy ratty- looking hair attractive?  So many of them wear it and to me it just screams “bad weave and dirty hair” When anyone over 45 does it, it is just tragic.

    I had to look her up, because I had no idea who she was. When I realized who it was,I was floored. What the hell is wrong with these women?  

    • alyce1213

      I can’t stand extensions. They can be used to advantage, but this stringy ratty-look is very distressing.

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

    She’s had too much work done on the face.  She’s two surgeries away from Cat Face. 

    The dress is pretty but that necklace is unfriendly.  

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

    This is the best she’s looked in so long. But is it just me, or did her face…not used to look like that?

  • LinXGUA

    Please miss cover you. We get it, you have great atributes. Please stop now. It’s such a gorgeous dress, but I think you don’t want us to see YOU. 
    I think the shoes are heavy and the purse is too plain. And it would be interesting to try another style for the hair. But what do i know?

  • http://twitter.com/pag_baj Paige Boerman

    It seems to be falling off her rack a little, and I feel the necklace is a bad choice, but otherwise pretty. Kinda standard.

  • DeTrop

    My age may be showing but she looks like Barbara Rush.  Great, great gown – on the model.  As someone further down said, just because it zips, doesn’t mean it fits.

    BTW, with all the shoe choices out there, why do some women choose black and heavy looking?  Scratching my head.

  • lifetime_student

    OMG her poor face! Maybe she thinks wearing a dress that has been taped to her breasts a nano-centimetre above her nipples will distract us from her face.

  • http://twitter.com/jennsaysmeow Fifi LaRoux

    Rose, hold on, let me just tug that up for you. There you go now you can breathe. Off you go.

  • Monabel

    Seashell necklace, a good thing. Maybe not for this occasion.

  • http://twitter.com/Lily1129 Lily

    At first, I thought this dress was photoshopped somehow. Either I’m going crazy (possible), or the color gradient gives it a weird optical illusion thing.
    However, I think she looks nice. And I do like the necklace with it. Makes it less barbie and more fashion.

  • http://twitter.com/awtchy1 Ashley

    She seriously needs to cut the shit w/the plastic surgery.  She’s looking like MJ in his later years, and that’s just not good.

  • http://twitter.com/nonchalantanna Anna

    There is too much boob happening in this dress on Rose. It is beautiful but belongs on a lady with a slightly smaller bust. Oh, and ditch the yellow jewelry and boring clutch.

  • Allison Woods

    Love her, love the dress, but not sure it’s “her” dress. Makes her look a tiny but thick, and yes, it’s too low on the bust bodice.

  • http://twitter.com/hurricaneemilyy Emily Shaver

    Hate the necklace, wrong kinds of purple to be trying to pull off complimentary colors. Needs more boob support. Wrapping effect okay. Flawless skirt. 6.5/10

  • http://twitter.com/SparklyCasanova UglyCasanova

    What happened to her face?  She’s going in the way of Joan Rivers.
