In or Out: Viola Davis in BCBG Max Azria

Miss Viola brought some color-blocking to the proceedings.

And we’re not sure if we like it or not. As attention-getting dresses go, it’s not bad. And we do like the colors themselves. We’re just not in love with the blocking or the silhouette. The latter makes this look a little bit like a housecoat. We’re not digging the uneven hem either.  The shoes look like afterthoughts. And since we’re on a roll here, we might as well admit that while we normally love her hair, it looks a little helmet-y. We’re sad now. We don’t think we’ve ever had so many negative things to say about one of her looks.

Vote Now!

IN! It’s bold and different!

OUT! I can’t unsee the housecoat.

In other opinionated news, the minions agreed with us that Jessica Biel’s New Year’s Eve-appropriate dress was an IN, but they did NOT agree with us that Zac Efron screwed up the detailing on his suit, and voted him IN as well.
