Such a class look on a stunning woman. Outclassed Cara D in every way possible!!![/quote]

Errrm, no, this looks like a lot of TJ Maxx/Marshall’s dresses from the late 2010s. Seriously, the “random O ring on dresses” look is not Oscar-worthy. This looks like Macy’s sale rack. Hard pass. Cara D’s look, while it wasn’t my favorite, was at least in the ballpark.[/quote]

Not even close. Cara D looks Fugly. Melanie exudes class. [/quote]

I adore Melanie but that is one cheap-looking, unfortunate dress. [/quote]

Thank you. I literally know nothing about these two actresses, and don’t have a dog in the fight. But to say the TJ Maxx special is “classy” is beyond a reach. And while I didn’t like Cara’s ensemble, at least it looks like it belongs at the Oscars and not some sad-sack DC Cherry Blossom Cruise charity event.[/quote]

To be fair, the dresses shouldn't be compared to one another at all because they were worn to different events. Cara's dress was for a presenter at the Oscar's, Melanie's dress was for the Vanity Fair after-party which has a much larger and more liberal guest list and were even Oscar attendees often change into "party dresses" instead of big gowns. Cara D. wore something else to the afterparty.

Having said that, I'm the person who originally posted the Melanie Lynsky dress, and I really love her as an actress, and I think it's a really unfortunate dress. You can wear something cocktail length to this party but that hem is tragic and it just doesn't go with the top. I don't think she looks bad in the dress, I just think the dress is bad. Similar with Mindy Kaling -- she didn't look bad in her white dress, I just think it's a bad dress with a bad design.

Peopel often get defensive on behalf of people they like but when I criticize an outfit at one of these events, I am always criticizing the outfit itself and maybe the designer who made those choices or the style team who chose to put the individual in them. I never mean them as a knock on the person wearing it.[/quote]
