Oh I love her so but this is bad.

Tia’s night out at the quinceneria.

Loved her look last night with the tweed suit look.

I would have liked this more if it was simply sleeveless on both sides. I don't care for the one long sleeve. She looks great though.

Her hair is terrible.

Her hair and makeup are so understated tonight. Last night at a pre party her hair and makeup were full glam. And really pretty.

I think Nicole always looks gorgeous in the full head-to-toe shot. But up close and especially in interviews, her face is just a mess and you can see all the procedures plus the places where things have shifted in weird ways. It's really sad to me. I'm not against procedures at all (especially understand it for women who are on screen for a living), but she has always had this ethereal beauty and part of me would have liked to see how that aged without quite so much intervention. I think she made the bargain of trying to stay 35 for ever and it only works from a distance. I'd like to know what she looks like as a very well-preserved 50-something instead.

I don't think she's self-conscious -- she could of course choose to fix them and chooses not to. But I think it's a conscious choice from her style team to preserve a certain image for the red carpet (she embraces the wonky teeth for roles).

Why does she have bad teeth when her father owns an NFL team?

Dramatic. Romantic. Lovely.

Probably her best look ever.

Disagree. She has no curves, so this straight dress isn’t flattering.

She doesn't need curves. She's tall with gorgeous shoulders and striking features. Not everyone is trying to look like the same ideal. It's okay for people to look like perfect versions of themselves.

I think you have to pick either orange or sparkly, both is too much.

I think she purposefully chose to keep them (unlike sister Kate) because they make her look interesting and it has enabled her to pursue different kinds of roles. I think it was fully a career move -- sometimes perfect is boring, plus there are a million perfect-looking actresses in Hollywood. Her family background gets her access and opportunities, but her more off-beat looks make her stand out a lot more than Kate. There's a reason Rooney's at the Oscars and in a nominated film and her sister is not.

She looks like a teenage boy in a dress. There’s no real waist and she doesn’t have hips. It’s really unflattering. Her look is all forehead and flatness.

Sequins + fringe + orange + boobs. It screams "LOOOOOOK AT MEEEEEE" which feels pretty lame for someone has high profile as this. It's very "my ex is here with his 22 year old fiancé and I need him to know I still got it." Salma, calm down.

These are all very good points but she would have had to have known she wanted to be a serious actress when she was like 10 to forestall any teeth fixing. Crazy.

Agree to disagree. I think you just don't like her body type, which is fine, but it's not her job to make her body look different than it is. Like I don't look at a really busty actress and think "wow that dress does not sufficiently flatten her chest enough -- you can tell she has big boobs." Your body is your body.

If you grow up a Mara, it's entirely likely that if you express an interest in acting at 10 years old, you will meet with an high end talent agent and a big shot producer friend, and they will tell your parents "don't fix her teeth -- they make her look interesting and you don't want to smooth her out too much if she's serious about this."

Not saying this happened, but it could have. She didn't grow up in Des Moines and move to the big city at 19 to shoot her shot.
