    No no no. The dress makes her look wider than she is.

    Her face is still pretty though.

    • kschwarting

      Exactly!  How can a dress with that silhouette make a slender woman look so wide?  The mind boggles.

  • teensmom99

    yikes.

  • Reneesance

    I like the dress in theory and it looks great on her shapewise.  But the color blocking combined with the big black cuff just reads “cosplaying a generic Marvel Superhero” to me. 

    • Sobaika

      That’s why I like it. It’s a lot more fun than most things she’s worn.

      • fashionzombie

        I also like it, but I think she needs way more eyeliner.

        • Sara__B

           Yes! The dress has overwhelmed her face.

      • StellaZafella

        I like the idea but I get a shot of classic ‘this dress is wearing her’ in 3 of the 4 pics.

    • kimmeister

      I see it as an X-men uniform, and this is her bid to play Jean Grey.

  • Judy_S

    The colors are lovely on her but the effect is “I am a paper doll wearing a dress for a smaller paper doll.” Not really a go-to look.

    • Kristin McNamara

      I’d love to see what this looks like sitting down….. it looks so STIFF in these photos.

    • MoHub

       That’s it exactly.

    Superhero Couture. Only acceptable for ComicCon. 

    • Sara__B

      I wish she’d worn ComicCon-worthy shoes!

  • In_Stitches

    I love the superhero dress and cuff; I just wish she hadn’t wussed out with the hair and shoes.  This look calls for boots and the hair either needs a damn crown or a high pony. 

    • LesYeuxHiboux

       I have red lace-up canvas platform boots that would look amazing with this. On me, ‘cuz I’m taller than she is and planning on stealing her dress.

    This would have been great for Comic Con.

         Now there’s a design market that needs exploration.  lol

          • http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd

             Ooooooh, I think I love this.

  • http://twitter.com/sebwfu Shannon Beamer

    Hmm, that side angle is…not good.  So not flattering.  Also, agree with everyone else that the cuff + that dress is a bridge too far into superhero territory.

    Bondage dress with plastic looking cuff and shoes. Where’s her mask? But I do love the green ombre dyed skirt going on behind her! 

  • bluefish

    Very Jessica Rabbit!  Too bad because she really is beautiful.  Dress is hideous.

  • Funkykatt

    Not her dress. Nope. 

    • ceceliadid

       It really isn’t.  Needs somebody who has a playful sense of drama, like Milla Jovovich.  K Stew maybe, but I think it’s not edgy enough for her – better on somebody a little older.

      • Alisa Rivera

        Katy Perry is crying she didn’t get to this dress first.

    Dan Stevens AKA Matthew Crawley was there too.

  • alyce1213

    This looks like a latex fetish dress.  

  • http://profiles.google.com/gillianholroyd gillian holroyd

    That dress is from his *resort* collection? 

  • MilaXX

    I don’t like the cuff or the shoe with this. They make her look like a superhero.

    • schadenfreudelicious

      my thoughts exactly, she’s one cuff away from deflecting bullets in that outfit…..

  • nannypoo

    The shape of that dress makes her look like she is shaped that way too. What is wrong with this woman? When you look like her you should be able to wear anything and look great, yet she seldom manages to look good and often looks very bad.

    • LesYeuxHiboux

       Us curvy ladies generally look better naked. Clothing is made for the thin and straight-bodied.

    I suddenly have the Jetsons theme running thru my head….

    • Anathema_Device

      Judy Jetson was my first thought, too! I wanted to yell out, “Jessica! Stop this crazy thiiiiing!,”

  • quiltrx

    She seems to like it, but she looks like an action figure to me.

  • elemspbee

    not her dress. give it to elle fanning or kstew. it’s a day time superheroine wear for SuperGirls.

    • LesYeuxHiboux

       KStew is a great idea, she would look really good in this and probably be comfortable to boot.

  • sweetestsith

    I like it? I’m questioning my taste right now though… Hate the shoes, but I like the dress & cuff, and her hair looks pretty. 

  • jw_ny

    This dress has potential to work if the wearer amps up the rest of look in a more animated/playful way.  Jessica just slapped it on with doing her regular hair/makeup, and ordinary shoes.  Kinda falls flat…she should’ve had more fun with this look.

  • Trisha26

    She looks like a superhero “Superhousewife” complete with blue apron. Sad.

  • granddelusion

    She’s just not a poser, is she.

  • marilyn

    A little (faux) tan on the legs might be in order.  

  • ojosazules

    I don’t understand.  
    What is the dress made off? 

  • janetjb

    She looks pretty from the neck up.

    The fabric is too shiny and the blue is too bright to take seriously.

  • LesYeuxHiboux

    Fucking fabulous! She looks like a superhero. I wish her shoes were red and she had accessorized with a lasso. Her face could use some color. She could also use a great clutch or some other accessory, the wide expanse of colorblock looks a bit dull with the super-matchy, sturdy accessories. Love the steel-gray nails with this look. Jessica, can I borrow your dress?

  • LLuL

    You know those swimsuit coverup t-shirts printed with a cartoon bikini body  on them? That’s the vibe I’m getting here.

    She actually looks really good for once. The color is so good on her, and her face and hair are both nice and casual. Very good look.

  • elirt

    It looks like a superhero dress… really odd.

  • PastryGoddess

    That color is amazing on her and she should wear it everywhere she goes

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001222219306 Jessica Zipper

    I think this looks awful on her!  I don’t mind the dress, but it’s not for her.  I think it’s the fabric that doesn’t work for her.  Leather, is it?  She’s got such a great body but dress does not show it.  She looks like she’s bursting from it.  All I can see is her boobs and tummy straing against the dress.

  • Soren Lundi

    Another dress with a picture of a dress on it.

  • http://vhanna26.typepad.com Vera

    The cuffs take this look into costume territory.

  • Coralie Legister

    Why the matchy cuff? I like it on the model but she made it look like a cheap costume.

  • guest2visits

    No I don’t like the dress, on her or the model. She looks like a plastic action figure, and it’s not a
    very flattering shape/pattern.

  • TieDye64

    Just no.

  • MoHub

    It looks a if she’s wearing one of those novelty aprons similar to the kind that make one look like a boobsy French maid. It makes the shapeless model look as if she has an hourglass figure, but it makes a woman of shape look as if she’s wearing some kind of fake, printed-on corseted bodice.

    Oh, honey, no.

    Open hailing frequencies, Lieutenant Chastain. I think this is the exact shade of blue of the old Star Trek uniforms. That combined with the black color-blocking is making it totally 60′s sci-fi. Somewhere this is making the boys from Big Bang Theory very excited.

    Superhero apron dress…not cool unless you are at Comicon….

  • http://twitter.com/ndpndntfilm Susan Velazquez

    That silhouette is all kinds of wrong and I normally love Jason Wu’s stuff.

  • http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie

    It looks like a superhero uniform. And not in a good way. The skirt is too stiff and sits out too far.

    Even the idea of a leather dress makes me sweat. they look so uncomfortable, so hot and I wonder if they smell…..ick
