This is the part where I note that, even after looking at both IMDb and her Wikipedia page, I am no closer to understanding who Camilla Belle is (aside from 10,000 B.C. Girl, or The Girl Who Dated Joe Jonas But Broke Up With Him Before They Had A Majestically Eyebrowed Baby, OR The Girl Who, Speaking of Majestic Babies, Is Apparently About To Play The Virgin Mary In Something).
This is not a knock on Camilla; more a compliment to her people, who get her invited everywhere, and snag her a bunch of really expensive clothes. Way to go, people. I hope they have a name. Hell’s Belles. The Belleouts. Or… I’ve Got A Fever And The Prescription Is More CowBelle. ANYWAY.
This is just… not working for me. It’s dowdy. It looks like a net full of seaweed. And there’s this weird dark area around where her thighs are crossing and I don’t know if I’m seeing through her dress or if the way she’s standing is creasing the lining and giving her polterwang, but it’s really chafing my furrow. The Belleions did not do their best work this time. On the plus side, though, whoever’s grooming her eyebrows deserves a raise, and she should share.

Based on looks alone, I feel like she could pull off Elizabeth Taylor way better than LiLo! Though I’ve never seen her act in anything.
Oh, right… the fashion. Actually, this dress looks a little Elizabeth, too. Unfortunately, I think it’s in the Later Liz period… Like, when she was in her 70s.
a) thought the same
b) *giggle*
I think she looks like Priscilla Presley or June Carter Cash. Liz Taylor, too, for sure.
She must be a really terrible actress if she’s losing the Battle of the Thick-Browed Natural Beauties to Lily Collins.
Dress is a little too senior-center-macrame-project for my taste, but the shoes might be good (love navy), and her hair and makeup (and face, let’s put it out there) are To Die For.
I’ve seen her in one movie where she played Daniel Day Lewis’ daughter and let’s just say she wasn’t up to the challenge. Like at all.
She’s gorgeous, though.
That was such a good/creepy/compelling movie though… she was ok, but DDL and Paul Dano stole it, again.
Or actually, maybe for the first time- “The Ballad of Jack and Rose” came out before “There Will Be Blood.”
Agreed the dress is a little dowdy for Prada. But LOOK at her hair and makeup! So pretty, especially the blue cat eye. And her hair is almost Middletonian

Why are these horrible patchwork dresses on netting/lining popping up everywhere? And lace?Are people aspiring to become tablecloths? Should one set the table on her?
Truer words were never spoken. At least most of the other lace or crochet or fishnet overlays that have assaulted our eyes are form-fitting and lay smoothly on the lining. Not this one.
And those shoes? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
She was entertainingly awful in From Prada to Nada. That would be a great Fug the Movie!
The only thing I know about her is I hate her because she stole Taylor Swift’s boyfriend. LOL. Team Swift!
To me she will always be the girl from the Disney Channel Original Movie Rip Girls, wherein she plays a motherless half Hawaiian girl who moves back to the island and learns to channel her grief through the magic of surfing. And I second the option to fug the movie From Prada to Nada, also starring the girl from Spy Kids. And writing this paragraph makes me think I need to start watching some better movies. I’m totally going to rent Citizen Kane tonight or something.
She was in a disney movie about surfing when she was younger. She was cute in it, but I haven’t seen her in anything in her adult career. She looks kind of Mad Men-esque, but it looks like she’s trying too hard. A bit too nail on the head.
What an unflattering dress. It makes her look very thick through the middle, although I’m sure she’s very slim in real life.
Aiming for the part of Appolonia in a Godfather re-make?
Okay…is it supposed to be a Tennessee Williams/Glass Menagerie shout-out? I mean, there are blue roses and a doily-adjacent overlay and a very modest cut. It’s very on-the-nose for that play. Maybe she’s hoping to get cast in a revival? I actually don’t hate the dress. It might be really pretty with some major tailoring.
I assume she is making a play for the Elizabeth Taylor role in the ridiculous Lifetime movie from which Lindsay is sure to be fired.
She was also “young Sally,” aka “baby Sandra Bullock,” in Practical Magic. That’s what I’ll always know her from. Though now I after reading these comments I kind of want to hunt down From Prada to Nada.
It could have been good, a Latin take on Sense & Sensibility set in Los Angeles….but it was just painfully bad.
Crochet, heavy eyebrows, Barbarella hair–Ick.
Camilla Belle and Kate Bosworth seem to have gotten on some master guest list and now no one knows how to remove them so they just give them expensive clothes and take their pictures when they roll up.
I think she looks lovely. The hem could be taken up just a bit.
To me, she will always be the girl Taylor Swift called out as a whore in song: “She’s not a saint and she’s not who you think. She’s an actress but she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress”. Also, the dress is alright but a bit twee for my taste.
is it OK that that made me like her more?
Such a beautiful girl. I wish she would step up her career though.
W.H.Y.? & H.O.W.?
is she still around?
Her face is Liz Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof!!! Wow! However..apparently her acting skills would not be up to scratch for the movie…..oh well..! I like the dress but I think it would suit her better in 10/15 years time!
She’s in Jurassic Park 2. Gets eaten by tiny dinos within the first few minutes. Mother says “Cathy darling lunch is ready”. Then discovers that her daughter is lunch.
but she is sooo pretty!
Don’t know her… Don’t care for her… But, she looks like a beautifully botoxed 41 year old trophy wife! Her outfit is FUG, but those eyebrows are FIERCE!!! Her makeup deserves a FAB! Plus, I vote for “Belleions”, like short for Belle’s Minions!
That woman is beautiful. Don’t know who she is, and the dress and shoes are fug, but still.
All I can see when I look at her face is Joan Crawford. And not in a good way…
OMG you have to see The Quiet it is ORPHAN levels of crazy/terrible/insanely watchable
She looks like a girl who decided to be Megan Draper for Halloween…though I would actually like this on the actual Megan Draper because she is about a foot taller
She is in the movie Push with Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning – it is a much better movie than I expected…. Near the end, Camille’s character wears a business skirt/suit that sparkles like a show-choir outfit in this terrible almost-black green color. It’s pretty glorious. Here she just has too much makeup and hair poofiness and flowers – her eyes do enough; she doesn’t need all that.
