I suppose it’s not that this is fugly, exactly.
It’s masquerading as an inoffensive, plain shift with a potentially interesting neckline, but the longer you look at it, the more you realize it’s a monument to the dwarfs Snow White forgot: Droopy, Stumpy, Dumpy, Shapeless, and Drab. (There are only five leftovers. They come by the dozen. Like eggs, but with beards and hats.) Come on, Anne. You’re getting married. Sass it up and get FLAUNTY. Or Flaunty, as in, Flaunty, Sassy, Sparkly, Sunny, Sexy, Funky, and Bangin’, who are a whole other dwarf posse that hangs out with the Evil Queen, who we know is the real hero of that piece anyway. I mean, her mirror mouths off at her! I’d be cranky too.

wow – that is one boring dress.
Neverthless, I’ll bet a doughnut* that it launches at least one “Anne’s pregnancy joy!” story…
*I’m from Canada, where we put unnecessary “U’s” in everything
We in the US used to spell it that way too, I think! Just lazy. I still write it that way, because all my books as a child were from the UK and I Formed Habits. Also it makes much more sense, when you think about it.
“I Formed Habits” a tell-all book coming to you from the writers of Gossip Girl in 2013!
Please, please, please. I will pay money to see the show for the Evil Queen and her dwarves. Perhaps Bravo will pick it up as an animated series?
I was in the process of writing almost exactly this, like it started with the words “Please, please” also. I really want maybe a Dreamworks movie, though. I know, I know, Dreamworks, wah wah, but I feel like the Shrek treatment would be perfect for this idea.
Seriously, though, I don’t really care what format, I need to see this on my screen.
Or better yet: A REALITY show.
Does this post mean I’m not the only one who has sympathy for the evil characters in fairy tales? hehe!
She’s done it. She has actually done it. She has exhausted Hollywood’s entire stock of floaty, glitzy gowns.
*weeps*
She looks dowdy.
And wasn’t she at this even with her stylist, the infamous Rachel Zoe?? Seriously, this is how you showcase your ‘talent’?
I saw Rachel Zoe with some other celeb client recently and the client looked great and Rachel looked dowdy – so maybe she does it in turns.
Is this seriously the work of Zoe?! The dowdiness, the matchy-matchy black peep-toes (ugh), and boring jewellery… it’s really bad!
A fab belt could potentially save it
Jools would help. And canning the dead side ponytail.
I skipped past her head and thought that this was Jolie…
She must be getting a feel for the sick Fantine sack dresses. Let’s hope she goes through sassy factory worker and hooker with heart of gold phases too.
It would be better with a belt, and even better in some nice jewel color. Seems a bit shorter than the normal formal gown these days, too, but I like that. No limp fabric dragged across a sidewalk. I don’t mind her hair.
when you look at the Rachel Zoe picture above, you can definitely tell who is dressing Annie these days
I fell asleep looking at this…Zzzzzzz
A few more dwarfs are present here (they tend to show up late everywhere): Baggy, Slumpy, and (my favorite!) Unbalanced.
Too much below the clavicle, Anne. And above the clavicle? Too meh.
Who’s that adorable really young teenage actress who’s always appropriately dressed? Anne looks just like her here.
What I thought upon seeing this picture: “Anne Hathaway. Or, wait, is it Shailene Woodley?”
I’m guessing that’s who you were thinking of, too.
i think she actually is pregnant. she’s been looking all first-trimester wan lately, despite Impending Wedded Bliss
I had the same thought; when I first saw her face I thought she had that early pregnant look.
It might be simple, but I think she looks very nice! And, the dwarves thing… Hilarious!
Yes, not exactly fug, but she can do much, MUCH better.
This reminds me of what 12 year olds wear when they graduate from primary school. It’s proper, it’s nice, it’s totally sexless. But Anne is not 12, nor is she unsexy.
Ha totally sexless, agree!!
Also it’s a bit zzzzzz
This is dullsville. Even if she were pregnant, there is no reason why a maternity gown like this couldn’t be livened up with some very noticeable jewellery in brilliant colours, or even a pair of shoes worth a damn (because these ones are not).
I doesn’t help that the camera angle seems to be from a height, pointed down. Or that the location of the photo looks like the run down hallway of a crackhouse. What is that on the floor beside her feet? Mud, I hope.
