She does indeed. They are so perfect.

This is perfection!

Really? I love the unusual color, but I really had the shoulder pad vibe.

I think that angle is a bit unfortunate because of how they are holding hands. She did a good job with finding the good angles on the red carpet to carry off the super broad shoulders -- it looks much better here in this solo pic, and in other photos where she's actually posing:

I cannot express how obnoxious this is to wear to an event where people are seated in an audience.

Kimmel did a bit from the audience and you couldn’t miss her sitting like she wasn’t totally blocking the view of 10 people behind her.

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.

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.

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.

Well said, PP. She looks beautiful here, and she’s under no obligation to look like Barbie. PP is a sad, strange little fashion victim.

Most people realize you must embrace your body and dress it appropriately. You play up your best features, and you strategically select styles to accent or mitigate other features. The dress was a miss. If Fashion Police was still around, I’m sure they would have said she has a terrific slender frame and a statuesque body but she should have worn something to create a waist and the illusion of curves.

You are right that's what the Fashion Police would have said. They also would have fat shamed a lot of size 8 actresses. That type of fashion criticism has been rightly criticized for constantly asking women to "hide" the natural shape of their bodies in search of an ideal that essentially doesn't exist.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, and if you don't like it, that's fine. But what we are saying is that I could care less that this dress makes her look flat chested and straight up and down. In fact, I kind of like that it does -- that is what her body looks like and it's part of her charm, IMO.

She’s a beautiful woman with a nice figure, but that dress looks like it belongs on an older woman. She has too much going for her to hide under all that fabric.

She does, but she looked SO uncomfortable in that cringey Jimmy Kimmel schtick just now.
Also, she really seems to be pushing the limits of what is a hijab. Much of her hair is visible.

Well, given that she got her face blown off by the Taliban, I'm going to give her a pass on that. She gets to choose now. She always did.

Halle Berry looks awful, her hair and dress need to go away immediately.

I love her but I simply wonder at what statement she is making with a half head cover.

DP and I agree. She looks great from the waist up but the sheath style didn't suit her.

Yeah wtf -- who are we to tell her to cover her hair?!?

But the dress itself is hideous and her styling is very plasticky looking. She looks like a Bratz doll (sorry Mindy). I wish she'd gone super classic instead.

She changed into the same dress in black before presenting! So strange.

I really think she has earned the right to practice her religion as she chooses without catty comments. Actually, I don't think she needed to earn that right -- we all have that right. But she's earned a helluva lot more respect from every single person posting here.

Give it a rest. It looked good whether or not she was making a statement at all. God.

I would actually love the dress if the slit stopped a couple inches below the roses on the thigh. You can't even really see the roses on the thigh because they are close to her skin color -- it's gorgeous against the white cloth with her skin color, though. And she's one of the few that really does look good in white.

I’ve never seen her expose this much hair. I assumed this was a show of support for the women of Iran.

Malala hit it out of the park. It’s a glamorous look and she’s beautiful.
