Is it us or is this one dreary-as-hell frock? Granted, she’s not exactly selling the look in these shots, but as a design, it all feels heavy, dark and overwrought; exactly the opposite of what a red carpet look should be. The lace design is too busy and unphotogenic, the color does nothing for her, and all of those horizontal lines are unflattering. The sleeves look unfinished. The underskirt is kind of dazzling, but the rest of the design works to obscure it. The more we look at this, the more we hate it.
