Don’t look at me like that, lady.
I didn’t make you wear it.

We know by now you have met Miss Jones, but have you kept up with her? Allow me. It’s the least I can do after that hacky wordplay.

Since Felicity and Like Crazy are getting a big autumnal push, that probably means we’ll be seeing a bit of her as we head into Hype Season. So, methinks it’s time to catch up on what she’s been wearing lately — you know, bits and bobs we’ve either missed, or forgotten to write about until suddenly Halloween came and everybody is all Sexy Whatever and nobody’s leaving the house in real clothes. All of which would seem to cast a dim light on my opinion of Felicity’s clothes, which isn’t really fair. OR IS IT. And isn’t THAT kind of subtly suspenseful intro a sufficient lasso of intrigue to rope you into this slideshow?
The thing I love about Felicity Jones, so far, is that she prompted one of you to note, the last time we featured her, that you “hate her face,” which is something that Heather and I often say privately to each other about people — NOT YOU, we love you — and it always makes me laugh, because in general the face in question is a lovely one and the thing we hate about it has nothing to do with how it actually looks. OR DOES IT? It doesn’t. I mean, her face is totally a good face:
BUT! We aren’t here to talk about faces but rather about dresses.
Felicity here is getting that Next Big Thing label on the strength of her work in Like Crazy, which — based on the preview I saw — looks like one of those terribly wrenching indies that makes you want to stay inside the rest of the day drinking hot chocolate and watching something desperately perky like The Holiday or Love, Actually. Which doesn’t mean it won’t be good, just that I need to block off the rest of the day for some emotional repair. Anyway, here is what she wore to a Like Crazy premiere:
I’m not even sure if I don’t like it, but ultimately I do think it’s a bit much. I wonder how it would look if all the stuff from the top of the bodice up to her neck disappeared. Or maybe all the buttons. But then again, she is pulling it off, in kind of a High Fashion Zooey Deschanel way, but without the tights. It’s Friday afternoon. None of us are paying attention at work, right? We’re all searching for Louboutins on eBay or Googling that damn color-blocked DKNY to see if it’s going to go on sale already. So let’s have a little fun playing fantasy stylist, shall we? Nip it, tuck it, rip it… well, I’m not finishing that rhyme. But do have at it in the comments after you vote.
Golden Globes After Party Well Played: Felicity Jones
Dear Jessica Chastain:
This is, perhaps, what you should have been going for. If that’s how you were going to go. Just saying.
