Posted on September 25, 2014

It’s always nice when your assistant remembers to turn on the wind machine at the exact moment you step in front of the paps.

What do we all think of this? On the one hand, we admire the lady’s image turnaround and style evolution. On the other hand, you can slap a McQueen label on it, but it’s still a tight mini-dress and six-inch heels. She may have traded up, but her honky tonk style roots are still there. But that’s not really a criticism; just an observation. In a way, it’s good that she’s managed to remain true to who she is while upscaling her image and style choices.

Having said that, we don’t love this on her. It’s interesting and we give her credit for picking it, but ultimately it’s too tough a dress for anyone but the very best and most accomplished dress-wearers to pull off. To be honest, the biggest strike against this look is that she looks like she can’t wait to get home and take it off. She’s trying, but she doesn’t look comfortable in it.
