    As Tim Gunn would say, “That’s a lot of look.”  The back looks like its torn and her Spanx is showing.

    • Sara__B

       Not Spanx. There’s actually lacing up the back. It’s supposed to show!

      • Violina23

        The fact that you need to explain that to us bitter kittens goes to show how off this whole thing looks!

        It looks like a bad bridal shower toilet paper dress to me…

      • lucyloo222

        I know it is supposed to show…that’s the problem!  You don’t want people thinking that your Spanx is showing, especially when it isn’t.

      That is WAY too much dress for her. Not that I like it on the model, but it’s far too much on teeny tiny Eva.

      That’s a great color on her, though. She should wear it more often.

        Eva has to step away from the Marchesa. She’s much too small for their ungapatchket clothes. She’s drowning in that dress.

    I need to set up some kind of macro to automatically fill in a negative comment whenever T&L have the word “Marchesa” in a headline. 

    Werq? Nerq.

       THIS. I cannot stand Marchesa so any celeb in one of their dresses gets an automatic thumbs down from me.

  • Sara__B

    Another loser from Marchesa. The front and back belong to two different gowns, but neither one is attractive.

    It looks like a Kleenex box exploded.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_62USDUVT7YWSMOPJDE5SWN5NBI Karen

    Actually, I take that back.  It’s not an exploded Kleenex box.  It’s a case of The Emperor’s New Clothes, with a mock-up being passed off as a ‘deconstructed gown’.

  • kikisayshi

    That’s a hot mess right there.

  • belfebe

    She looks gorgeous, but that’s a lot of dress for someone so petite.

  • minnye

    …of course.

    • filmcricket

      Exactly. The mermaid gown is her version of Lea Michele’s “look at my legs” dresses.

  • Little_Olive

    ONE. BIG. BLAH. 

  • crash1212

    Because nothing says Klassy like a lace inset down your crack. Seriously Marchesa….totally tacky.

  • Spreecord

     I just want to know what she was on when she looked at this dress and thought “Yeah, that will do”.

  • suzq

    Once again, Georgina Chapman tries to be edgy and artisic and ends up making a dress that looks like it’s inside in the back.  As she would say to one of the PR All-Stars, “You’re trying to do too much here.  Edit.”

    To her credit, Eva didn’t make it worse with a lot of gaudy jewelery.  I also like how the hem situation is resolved in the red carpet version.

    • Anna Tree

      They clearly need someone who, at a certain point, will take the dress form away from them. They can’t seem to resist adding elements, a designer’s disease that has been known to affect others, but no one as seriously as them.

  • l3icest3r

    Just noticed that the edges of that gown are zigzag-ed. Dear God. What has been seen cannot be unseen. O_o

    • formerlyAnon

       Right? If it makes me think “pinking shears” there’s gonna have to be a whole lot of brilliance going on to make me say “deconstructed” instead of “inside out.”

    • filmcricket

      It’s not just the illusion of pinking shears – the edges are actually fraying. What, did Marchesa see Viktor & Rolf’s giant basting-stitch dresses and say “Hey, I can rock Home Ec chic too?”

    • Little_Olive

      You made me see it and now it’s like it is made of those lens cleansing fabric squares 

  • vanjar

    It looks like she burst out of the seams. I hate the the cheap and lazy looking scissor hemming. I do like that colour.

  • Lina_bee

     Raw pinked edges? Really? My god, Marchesa’s gotten lazy. Also, the model shot looks like a novelty cake-topper.

  • rougeort

    Guys, this is a serious problem. Eva Longoria is officially DROWNING IN TOLIET PAPER. Who’s calling 911?

  • MilaXX

    UGH. It’s her same mermaid style but this one is sitting far too low. Is she this desperate for attention since her regular gig is over?

  • http://www.filmsbyneptune.com/ Dani Colman

    …

    Of course.

  • formerlyAnon

    Um, no.

    She should be able to pull it off if anyone could, but she looks like a poorly assembled parade float of some snow-strewn mountainside.  They’d auf someone on Project Runway for a gown like this assembled in under 36 hours. Marchesa had considerably more time to devote.

    Just NO. (It irritates me more every time I look at it.)

    What the fuck?!!?

  • http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie

    A. I’m SOOOOO tired of this silhouette on her.
    B. I know the dress is supposed to be “deconstructed,” but it just looks “unfinished.” Either that, or the front of her dress got caught in a shredder.
    C. I hate it.

  • kingderella

    this dress looks like a car crash. thats not a metaphor. it really looks like shes wearing the wreckage of a car.

  • http://twitter.com/urban_gypsy Tess Danesi

    A world of NO. What a hiddy mess this is. Eva is another on I find on my irrational celebrity hate list. I just can’t with her.

  • quiltrx

    I don’t care for her, but she was made for this kind of look.  The folded-napkin portion (and I like Marchesa, that’s the best part LOL) looks much better on Eva than the model, who looks like she slept in it.

    I CANNOT get on board with the nude lace “my dress is torn” look, though.

  • guest2visits

    Wow. Close up; this is kind of awful.  She gets points for bravado.

  • TSkot

    Origami gone horribly horribly wrong.

  • jmorino08

    From the front it just looks like too much everything. But the cut outs on the back (Butt crack ventilation?) and sides are trashy. All wrong!

  • elemspbee

     what a mess of a dress. And Eva L looks like she’s getting swallowed up by it. Any minute now, she’ll disappear into a pool left over bridal gown cloth.

  • VicksieDo

    She looks genuinely happy in it, so ok with me.  It’s busy, but it is different…

  • frannyprof

    She’s pooping fabric in the back and vomiting fabric in the front.

    ugly dress. there may be elegance to be found in an overworked garment but this is straight-up clumsy-looking and on the verge of being hideous. 

  • http://twitter.com/SparklyCasanova UglyCasanova

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

  • alyce1213

    Too much of a bad thing.  Dayum I hate Marchesa.

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

    Oh. I actually kind of like this one.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_NUZ2RGIDRXKK6ADHFPPCR6S3WI MariaM

    A case of Origami meets OCD.

  • nannypoo

    Hotel sheets meet post-war foundation garments. Never a good thing.

  • http://twitter.com/lenabena_ Elena

    Ugh. I didn’t notice there were nude colored insets on parts of the dress. That makes this look worse.

  • allisankelly

    Origami bedsheet. I’m guessing it’s the zipper that looks so horrible right above her ass. She’s at the Golden Nymph awards (um, WTF?!?!?!?), so I guess Marchesa is a good bet for that nonsense.

  • marilyn

    I could overlook the excess boobage if it had been the only problem.  She lost me with the sheer gores down the back of the dress.  Tacky, tacky , tacky.

  • MzzPants

    Chihuahua  wrapped in toilet paper.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P2ANLRZ6YAVGONA36I2AQJYGI VicD

    ruffle overload, but she loves herself some major gowns… This looks better on her than on the model.

  • mjude

    that is just awful.

  • schadenfreudelicious

    Can we put Marchesa and Stella McCartney on a slow boat to somewhere??.

  • http://twitter.com/yankeefoxtrot Alex McGeagh

    So. much. FRIPPERY! 

    OTOH, her makeup is simply gorgeous.

  • Monabel

    “Dress, where are you going with that girl?”

  • Aurumgirl

    This dress doesn’t make me wonder if the “cut outs” with illusion lace give me a peek at her spanx.  It makes me wonder if the cut outs give me a peek at her ass.  That is not fashionable, not ever.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=625120374 Jessica Walsh

    obviously.

  • lizajane1776

    Of course.

  • http://twitter.com/Goldielox73 Goldie

    The back and side look like the dress was let out to fit her and they didn’t have any of the original material left over.  Since EL is super tiny, we know that’s not the case.  The front would look better without the tit-bow.

  • http://twitter.com/aidanboleyn Aidan B

    Yikes. She looks happy but I really hate that dress.

  • http://frankbettecenter.org/ sleah_in_norcal

    those faux rips in the back are awful.

  • http://twitter.com/nonchalantanna Anna

    Sorry Eva, but that dress is wearing you.
