Claire Danes

Don't get me wrong, this dress is quite lovely.

But it's amazingly unflattering on Claire. This shade is the worst shade possible; it matches both her skin and her hair, and washes her out terribly. The length makes it rather dowdy, and the overlapping bodice looks just a little odd. So I applaud your effort, Claire, but go for something that doesn't make you look like a beige ghost next time. Please!

Cate Blanchett

This hurts me. It really does.


I love Cate. I truly adore her. I think that she's a wonderful actress and one of the most elegant ladies in Hollywood. However...she can't quite pull this off.

I understand the mystical sari-esque look she was going for. But the patch of dark sequins sort of ruins it, and those clear plastic shoes make me shudder. Cate: your figure is much too lovely to be swathed in billowing heaps of fabric like this! This is a look that I would reserve for pregnant ladies only. Do you agree?
