On the one hand, Leighton Meester definitely looks pretty in her Pucci and Jimmy Choos — with that hair and makeup, somehow the entire look is a lot more relaxed and young and comfortable than half of what she wears (especially the boob cymbal).
On the other hand, this reminds me of a gift box my parents use every Christmas, which says in merry script on the front, “DOES NOT CONTAIN WHAT YOU HAD HINTED FOR.” Aside from the fact that I’m astonished my grammarian mother condoned that kind of behavior, I have always loved that one, and I suspect that’s what the mood is around CMA offices this morning as they sit around and drink and throw dartboards at this photo. Because, like it or hate it, there’s nothing terribly INTERESTING here, and what good is Leighton Meester to them if she isn’t going to get them a boatload of press for ratcheting up the crazy? She wears upholstered jumpsuits to the Met Ball and see-through skirts for MTV and all she can manage for the CMAs is to look like she borrowed one of Kelly Clarkson’s old stylists for the night, and is sporting a skirt that MIGHT have inspired some mullet jokes, if Billy Ray Cyrus hadn’t scared the party-in-the-back bejeesus right out of us? “FOR SHAME,” they are saying, pouring another shot of tequila. “Thank God Gwyneth fancies herself a singer now or else we’d be FIRED TODAY.”

I lurve those shoes!!!!
The dress is ridiculous, she looks ghostly…..wait a minute, why was she even at the CMAs in the first place?
Not option for Just Plain Ugly? Because it is, and and the nasty shoes too.
Is it just me, or does she look freakishly like Drew Barrymore?
The lighting wasn’t all that great but she looks fantastic! love the minimal make-up and the fact that she looks so effortless! Win!

The train is a bit ridiculous.
The print is hideous, the train is completely unnecessary, and the shoes are cute but way too chunky for the attire. I think the entire thing is a failure. And why is she standing with her feet turned in? Her awkward stance makes it even worse!!
Really? I think the makeup and/or lighting makes her look like a vampire, or like she’s suffering from consumption. Looove the shoes though.
I do like the hair and makeup, but she would look vampiric if she was wearing a more severe color. I love the shoes, too. The dress is just awful- from the print to the train to the drape. Blair Waldorf is NOT hippy! Is there something in Gwyneth’s contract that Leighton has to look drab and plain when they appear together?
Upon first glance I thought the dress was made of (or at least made to look like) strips of bacon and I was delighted.
The dress isn’t terrible. Nor is it terribly interesting. However, she looks like a zombie. It’s the CMAs Night of the Living Dead style.
Shoes are good, dress is fine. Makeup makes her look like death warmed over!
Both the dress and the shoes are horrifying. And why can’t these actresses stand up straight? Don’ they teach that in acting school?
Tortured. Plz may I haz one of those tequila shots?
The dress is kind of cute. I could do without the party in the back. I’m actually not a fan of the shoes, though. My biggest issues are the frizzy hair and the death’s pallor make-up. Halloween is over, Leighton.
Dress looks like she whipped it up out of a shower curtain, which then made it difficult to get her hair washed properly. Even if I cared for ginormous platforms, the shoes don’t go at all, although if a stiff breeze catches all that tail-sail at least they’ll keep her anchored to the ground.
Clothes aside, she looks like she has mono.
nix the train and the horrid shoes and maybe…
The dress is stupid, but that HAIR! Is it supposed to look that bad? Half is straight and pointy at the ends, and on top of the straight it looks like she started using a curling iron, made a couple half hearted efforts on each side, and then said, ‘eh, good enough’.
I wore brown today, and look JUST FINE, but this is bad so I had trouble with the voting. Count me as a 3rd or so vote in the “she looks like a vampire/zombie” group.
There is a much better picture of her in that dress on shine.yahoo.com.
Your photo choice doesn’t do her or the dress any justice. I was hoping you were going to post it, and am surprised at the fug or fab choice.
The fabric and draping seem fine if a bit cocktails-on-the-veranda for me, but it goes wrong in the hem department. Below the knees,and shrink the train, so it drops a little, gracefully, on the back of her calves. Make the beige platforms thicker and I’d maim and kill for those shoes. I don’t recognize this gal, so can’t comment on her facial appearance.
The longer I look at it the worse it gets.
Those shoes are love. However, at first glance, the dress screamed bacon. I love bacon more than I love rainbows, but…I’m not feeling this dress.
Oh, I do like your mother’s little disclaimer on the gift boxes! Thoughtful & fun!!
My ex (thank heavens!) step-family used to go with ‘ITB’…’ignore the box’. Whenever anyone opened one such box, they would all chime in together, to reitterate what the box said…and then laugh crazily as if it hadn’t happened a hundred times already.
People always cheap jordan sneakers marvel at the superb Michael Jordan’s performance on the court cheap nike dunks free shipping for basketball, the Jordan is an independent gene, he alone determines that the movement of some of the attributes. But when you wholesale dunks want to revisit this history at the right time, you can choose to text, image or video data, and, Jordan shoes. Jordan cheap women shox r4 has repeatedly said: “part of the dress shoes that I was part of my personality.” We can http://www.sneaker-maniac.com use the “Michael Jordan o o shoes” to refer to Michael Jordan, or call his shoes, and sometimes it is simply one of the two The. “Year after year, Jordan shoes, constantly changing, but all had the shoes on my behalf.” Jordan said. At that time the media published a surprising news: Nike will be 1.25 million U.S. dollars, to purchase a rookie NBA 5 years of “the right shoes.” Nike chose to “air” for the Jordan line of shoes named.
Nice information, valuable and excellent design, as share good stuff with good ideas and concepts, lots of great information and inspiration, both of which we all need, thanks for all the enthusiasm to offer such helpful information here.
Does anyone know if Uli from Project Runway made this dress? It looks exactly like the stuff she used to make all the time.
Meh. I’d give the dress a pass if it weren’t for the ghoulish hair and make up. She’s straying into Helena Bonham Carter territory.
Agree with Lisa: she looks consumptive.
This is total fug. First, it isn’t flattering — the band hits her chest at a strange place and widens her waistline while it flattens out her boobs. Second, this isn’t the kind of dress that needs a train. A ball gown or a wedding gown might have trains, but not a bathing suit cover up like this.
I also think the shoes are a bit twee.
I love the idea of the people in the CMA offices throwing “dartboards” at this picture. Like, they hated the picture so much they couldn’t even bring themselves to tape it up and throw actual darts – they just saw the picture, screamed in frustration, ripped the dartboard off the wall and chucked (ha, see what I did there?) it at her Thanksgiving at the beach cover-up.
Though she is beautiful,her skirt is not fit for her.the color is not good,I think
But she shoes … no. Gaudy and unflattering.
I really like this comment, if you want to buy to overflow lady adorn article, please come to this website, I bought a lot of beautiful jewelry, really very good!
The dress is not great, but I can’t believe you like her hair and make-up. Her hair is bedraggled and her make-up looks as though she is dead or at least seriously ill.
Just want to say what a great blog you got here!I’ve been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!
The dress is fab but she’s not wearing it properly. The shoes are hidgeous. She has loads of eye baggage. Crikey!
I can’t even judge the outfit because the expression on her face is that of batshit-crazy.
The dress of Leighton Meester is very beautiful and I think she deserve for win this award.
Read the entire post. There’s some genuinely insightful details here.
