Let’s cleanse our palates with what Michelle Monaghan usually looks like.
Ignore for a second that you can see her bra. Or, don’t; I can’t control you. But her face looks, well, normal. Her makeup doesn’t scare me. She seems cute and natural and not at all like I need to put out an APB on her eyesight.
And now, behold her at the Source Code premiere.
I’ll just wait here for a second while you collect your thoughts. … I KNOW, RIGHT? It’s bad.
Apparently this movie is all about going back in time and changing blah blah disaster yada. I’m pretty sure I know what Michelle should do if she got to push the button. Although half of it, she could do in the ladies’ room with some water, a face cloth, and potentially a shoe swap with whomever is in the next stall so that she’s not doing the nude-white mix. Much easier than waiting for Doc Brown to hit his head on the toilet and invent time travel.

She looks like one of those “before and after” meth addict posters.
Corpse bride?
Can I just say that I smiled so hard when I saw that an old Peldon phot was the sole related story?
Made my day.
Wow. That eyeshadow is BAD. Did her makeup artist get inspiration from a really bronze panda? I feel like the double whammy of BANGS + EYESHADOW is too much — she is so girl-next-door and fresh-faced beautiful. There’s no need for her to cake so much makeup on! I think she looks great otherwise. If she would’ve had on cleaner face paint and pulled her hair back, she’d look perfect for summer.
Look at the top half of the close-up shot and tell me those bangs and crazy eyes don’t remind you of possessed Regan in The Exorcist. Good thing her lips aren’t chapped.
Ah, be sure to note that the back of the shoe and heels are also white. This shiz was planned.
She doesn’t even look like herself. (Except the extreme skinny, of course.)
I think the shoes have a white detail on the heel, and therefore work with the dress and are on my Want list. It’s her posture, as well as the slap, that give this photo the GoodHeavensWhatHappenedToHer vibe.
Any ensemble that forces a straight woman to ponder another woman’s pubic hair removal methods/commando status is just awkward. The hair and makeup are frightening (and not in an appealing way) as well.
Danielle Rousseu (sp?) from Lost anyone?
I rather like the dress, although I’d like it to fit better. And now that I see the white on her shoes, that nude/white clash doesn’t bother me so much.
That was one of the most shocking after the jumps – yikes!
Terrible makeup!
Not the same girl!
Awww, cute! Someone found heroin!
My bellybutton shadow or indentation is in the top 5 of things I do not want to show through my clothes.
This is like a walk of shame, with the ‘next-day’ hair and eye makeup and the way too tight dress.
This is one of the most awful makeup jobs EVER! I have watched “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” at least a dozen times and Michelle is soooo pretty. How could someone do this to her? She could have put her hair in a ponytail, grabbed some sweats and gone without any makeup and looked 1000% better.
Yikes! I just want to sweep her hair out of the way and see if the makeup is really THAT bad (which I think it probably is). I can’t even think of if her clothing is pretty or not.
Damn!!! That was like staring at one of those scary ass pictures where the ghost pops out and makes you scream like hell! Don’t ever do that again.
Well, that combination of pictures just single-handedly convinced me not to cut bangs….
I agree with Styrch – I want to move the bangs and see if the makeup is really, truly terrible, or if it’s just getting a major assist from bad hair.
i LIKE the nude shoe with the white dress. but she looks cadaverous. and the bags under her eyes rival mine and i want surgery.
So, I actually like the nude/white mix. Just me? OK, then, carry on.
Wow. Brunette Courtney Love?
Her eyes look so irritated and sore, poor girl. This is why makeup should never be applied inside the waterline.
That girl has got some wonk eye. She’s two photos away from the “Faces of Meth” website.
Rousseau! HEE!!
Of course her eyes look irritated and sore, it’s one of the side effects of zombification. Poor girl, she never saw the zombies coming.
My question is what is going on with the neckline under her hair. That looks like a halter strap on her left. Does that mean those are shoulder cut-outs?
What a weird, weird choice.
Her makeup artist should be flogged. She clearly has a classic Irish complexion that responds poorly to warm tones, so why she’s been slathered with peachy blush, terracotta lipstick, and dirt-brown eye shadow is beyond me. She looks sallow, with dingy teeth and small homely eyes, and she’s NONE of those IRL. Tragic. Tragic.
Uggghh. She looks like The Bride of Charlie Manson. She should go back in time and prevent this outfit before she leaves the house.
ugh. All complaints about her makeup/dress aside. WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON WITH HER HAIR?!?!?!?! It looks… fried. Girl, step away from the flat-iron; it’s not doing you any favors.
Also, someone go wash her face.
That is a crying shame and Exhibit A why not everyone should try to rock every look that’s in fashion (in this case, warm nude makeup and tousled [ahem] hair). It looks like she’s been Lohan-ized. Well, without the orange fake-tanner all over her skin.
Demonic. Possessed. Bride of Chucky.
see, now i love the bang! great head of hair – would make a great model for a wig. but here she def could be the Lost love child of Ben & Rouseau (@willow)!!. wacky from brow to toe…
Wow, what a crime to do that to her hair! It’s so pretty in the first picture!
It makes her look sickly – whoever did her makeup should be fired
i really like the idea of the makeup colors with her eye and hair color, but the application fell down a bit. i love the lip color (on me, what is it?). it doesn’t help that she has a wonky eye and a crooked smile. or that her hair is dull.
I literally screamed out loud after that jump.Just, wow.
Good Lord! If you just look at the face she looks like a smack freak.
AHHHHH! I literally gasped when the bronze banged horror showed up! Fire your beauty team ASAP!!
Wow. In the head shot from the premiere I thought she rsembled Mila Kunis. She has such pretty eyes and they’re not overly large – she shouldn’t crowd them with bangs.
I think she’s had some serious rhinoplasty — another reason she looks so different. Not the same girl-next-door.
What a waste of pretty.
Yeah, she doesn’t look great, but I honestly love those shoes and want them!
UP A SIZE. For the love of God.
This is the worst interpretation I have seen to date of “the smoky eye”. Makes me want to hand her one of my little Ponds wipes and a hand mirror. I know tweens who can do a better job than this.
Oh … and also? BANGS.
umm….i kinda like it!
At least her shoes are cute.
Dude, I ‘second’ the meth comments.
Yeah, part of it’s the bangs, and part of it’s the makeup, but she does look a little stoned here. Compare: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1463728640/nm1157358
Although maybe she’s just trying to medicate the effects of that pressure bandage she’s wearing.
It’s like someone told her to look like Keira Knightly from the nose up…and I don’t really think that look works on Keira either.
I think she was just bitter nobody asked her to be in a relationship-rumor with Jake Gyllenhaaaaaaaaaaallllll.
If you ask me her eyes look scary-crazy in all the pictures.
I think she looks kind of deranged and wonk-eyed in the first picture and actually rather lovely in the second. The third, meh.
I hate those shoes with a searing white hot rage.
That… LIPSTICK.
I like it…like a lot. The peachy makeup is really pretty.
She looks like old style- Ashley Simpson in photo number 2
Unfortunately for Michelle, she so rarely goes out looking like the lovely, fresh faced, girl next door beauty she is. She is always wearing something crazy (see above see-through shirt) and when not wearing something crazy (the dress, though small, is not terrible), she apparently feels the need to wear make-up from the consumption junction and not brush her hair. She needs a (new?) stylist.
She looks like a zombie. I expect to her to rip out the jugular of the nearest person and ruin her pretty white dress.
I see what she was going for there. She has the same hair color and skin tone as I do and those color choices, especially that lipstick, are very problematic.
Why do people not learn that it is best to not smoke drugs before you go out where people will take pictures of you?
Just when I thought we were done with heroin chic….
Zombie lady, definitely
it’s like she’s coming for my brain… scary
christine christine: LOL! See, that’s why I didn’t miss a single episode of The Walking Dead. Unlike poor Michelle here, I am PREPARED for the coming Zombie Apocalyse.
I like it. I like it better than the first picture. All of it. Okay, maybe not the fringe. But the make up, dress and shoes, I like.
srsly. I yelled “OH MY LARRY” in the office.
she looks dead. cadavretastic.
no.
I actually flinched when I saw the second picture. Who, what, how in the hell did that happen?
Seriously, if Liv Tyler and Emma Stone had a baby, and that baby was born during the zombie apocalypse and grew up to be the Empress of All Things Zombie, this is the look she would choose for her coronation (give or take a few pints of body-spatter).

Is that HER? I thought it was Lohan with a brown wig!
This trend of smear-y bronze-y make up needs to die – and soon.
She’s like a reverse Monet. The close-up pic isn’t so bad, but the farther away/full body shot is frightening.
Perhaps laying off the smack before the next premier might be the way to go.
My fringe (bangs) look like that when I wake up in the morning! And what’s wrong with going up a size in the dress as well!
