I give Christa B Allen a tough time in my Revenge recaps, but it’s not totally her fault: The show is kind of flat this season so far, and the writers haven’t given her character a very easily-pinpointed motivation. Even Nolan doesn’t have that much to do. And poor Charlotte is no Nolan:
This is yet another event where no one seemed to know what they were supposed to wear — an epidemic on GFY the last couple of weeks. Naomi Watts wore trousers, and Christa here is dressed in Prom By Black Swan. That being said, I kind of like this. When I write my YA adaptation of When Harry Met Sally, which I plan to do as soon as I finish a couple of loads of laundry, this is what Teen Sally will wear for her climatic New Year’s Eve.
She looked somewhat blander at Elle’s recent Women in Hollywood event:
But never more like Jennifer Garner than lately. If only SHE could pop up on Revenge.

The first one is SO GLORIOUSLY SPARKLY!
The second one looks like a sofa cushion.
If the first is prom the second is bridesmaid at a tasteful second wedding. I like the lipstick.
I can’t get worked up enough about either to love or hate. I like the style, but dislike the color of Dress 2, if you can call it a color. That color? really doesn’t work on too many people, which is why it’s more a neutral for pants, skirts, maybe a jacket with with a colorful scarf, etc.
Can I get a “meh to both” option?
Yeah, that’s my vote too. The first is nice but boring. The second I could be on board with (or bored with, ha!) with different styling, maybe.
I get the Jennifer Garner comparison, but to me she looks like J. Garner + Piper Perabo.
I’m sorry. I didn’t notice the dresses. I was too busy reading the part about a YA adaptation of When Harry Met Sally?!? I would read the hell out of that.
YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU I WANT IT.
SAME. Seriously, is that laundry done yet?
A Sydney Bristow guest arc on Revenge? Me Likey! Couple a steely jawed ninja fighting gals with mommy returned from the dead issues reluctantly joining forces to take down whatever it is that Nolan said goes so far beyond the Graysons and the White Haired Man’s initiative thingy.
Victoria would not stand a chance.
Hate is a little strong, but the black doesn’t fit her and is “meh” anyway so no wins, and the second is just “no”.
Couldn’t we have a “meh” option?
I just don’t care enough about either look to muster up an opinion. Poor, bland Charlotte!
That said, I think she looks older, but thinner, in the second dress. For what it’s worth.
Neither hate nor love for either. Indifference is all. Neither of them look like they fit.
The vague sweetheart neckline of the first is oddly too high under her armpits, like it was meant to be straight across, and the dropped waist and fluffy skirt look droopy. The second one is better, nifty subtle shade, but does she have a waist? Her (admittedly lovely) hand on her left hip is pulling down the bodice and making the hem uneven.
I do not like her hair colour. It reminds me of my nanna’s carpet. Nan insists that the carpet is gold (apparently that’s what the carpet was called 30 years ago when installed). I insist that the carpet is a weird olive green shade. I’l not saying her hair is olive green but it is neither brown nor blonde and looks weird on her head. Her hair always looks awesome in the show, why mess with that?
Never has a ‘young character/mature character’ casting been so spot-on. She really does look like a young Jennifer Garner in the second shot.
Good job, casting agent of 13 Going on 30!
Another lovely-looking gal in showbiz still finding her stylistic feet. These are misses, but so close – so good luck to her.
Finally, a dress those nude hooves actually go with.
I like both outfits, so it’s an all around FAB for me! The 1st one… COVET!
I love the first one… give me some sequins and tulle any day of the week.
