I like the dress no more in these angles. It is somehow both blah and too ornate. Add in Kidman's skeletal frame and the flesh-tone fabric and its exactly what queen of the zombies, as someone else commented, would wear...! |
Compare her hands to her face. Yikes. When she presented, her upper lip did not move. It was jarring. |
Also flat chested and I hate that dress. I think it’s because aesthetics is about balance and contrast so if you take an angular flat surfaced person and put them in an angular flat surfaced dress, it’s not visually pleasing. Something that creates more curve or movement would be more visually appealing. I’m not saying she needs falsies — just that something that is more fluid would look better. I actually don’t think that dress would look good on anyone though. Unfortunate because it’s otherwise a nice dress. |
Love this from the front. Side view is slit all way up to her waist, which I kind of like on the red one, but not so much on Gwyneth.

I would like this dress for the globes or Emmy’s but it looks a little casual for the Oscar’s. |
I have some of those vintage dresses from the 50s and they are actually really flattering. I think the neckline is a little lower and then the bodice is more tailored or something. This one looks really badly tailored. I don’t know what it is but it’s not working. Her stylist did her wrong. |
Agree on both dresses. I sort of like the idea of Taylor's dress, but it could def use editing. Perhaps if there was no see-through and if the fringing began lower down and was less extreme. The train looks like a very luxe shag carpet lol. Also dislike McKenna's dress which, despite the color, somehow looks very matronly - something about the cut of the bust and heavy fabric. Disney princess wedding: but for the mother-of-the-bride... |
I was listening to a podcast recently about cultural literacy, which is of course hard when there's so much culture to absorb but how people with shorter sttention spans just .... miss things. Banter was pretty bad - RDJ and Chris Evans among the worst - but Sigourney Weaver's was among the best. It fully referenced her very famous line from Alien, and they cued it by refernece Alien before she said it and after she delivered the line she also referenced the movie. Also funny - the Casablanca bit was aboslutely about people not getting things unless they are spelled out explicitly. Your post is the poster child for this! |
+1 and adding that the neckline hits the absolute widest part of her which is why it’s so bad. |
I was the one who said wedding dress and it’s actually super similar to my silk taffeta wedding dress from 25 years ago. |
PP here. I agree with you. We're possibly about the same age so I have several, too.

+1 exactly |
The face also influences how a dress looks. |

The best clip of the night comes from the after party red carpet when Nicole Kidman walks behind Lauren Sanchez posing.
Prefect class vs trash. |
Same. She looks like some sort of Easter marshmallow. |
