Monica Barbaro in Versace at the A COMPLETE UNKNOWN Rome Premiere: IN or OUT?

Hmm. We kind of hate the dress Monica Barbaro wore to the Rome premiere of A Complete Unknown, but since the pickins are slim right now and because if there’s one thing we’ve learned after years and years of doing this it’s that every dress has its defender, we’re putting it up to a vote. While we don’t necessarily think you need to prepare for any scrolldown shock, we do think the look is a bit much at first glance.

We don’t know… it just looks craftsy and naive to us, with little sophistication. As much as we tend to dislike black-backed florals, we think it would have been an improvement over that bland beige. The whole thing looks kind of heavy and it gets much less interesting or potentially pretty if you stand no more than five feet away from it. Visually, it just doesn’t strike us as a great design. In related news, that choker looks completely wrong with it. Are we being harsh? Are you going to be one of this dress’s defenders? Let’s hear it.
