Let’s start with what’s happening on top of Piper Perabo’s head:
Yes, this is totally nutty. It’s like something out of Star Trek married to a pastry. That being said, I kind of enjoy it. Bless her for giving us something to talk about, and it looks good from the front:
…in a sort of Evil Socialite way. (Please note: there were actually plenty of pics of her whooping it up and having a great time at this event, you just couldn’t see her dress in them. So at least we’re moving past that stage where all she does is pout.) I actually feel like PP here — I hope she doesn’t mind that I’m calling her PP, except I don’t actually really care — would be perfect in a teen movie where she has to play the evil — and young — stepmother. You know, the Baroness role.
All that being babbled, what do we think about her dress? As much as I rationally think she looks like she’s wearing a used vacuum cleaner bag, I actually kind of love it on her. Did I just take an overdose of crazy pills with my Irish coffee this morning?

I think it’s pretty shapeless and awful. And that hair is pure madness.
Evil socialite. Like Tinsley Mortimer’s twin or something.
Oh my god, you crack me up so. Between the “It’s like something out of Star Trek married to a pastry” and yesterday’s line about a beaver catapulting itself onto Scarlett Johanssen’s head….so much actual out-loud laughter.
Please allow me to quote the fearsome gangster Marlo, of The Wire, in my hair comment:
Piper, you want it to roll one way. But it rolls the other way.
(I’ll have a Holodeck danish, please.)
Not only do I love the dress, I wish I were wearing it right now! That’s right, I like to get fancy at work.
It’s really hard to tell from this angle. The camera’s up in the air, so everything looks foreshortened. Why are red carpet photos being taken by 8′ tall cameramen lately?
she looks like one of Santa’s elves who fell down the chimney and got covered in soot. Also not liking the shoe choice at all.
didn’t January Jones do her hair like this at an awards ‘do a year or so ago? I think she had some weird eye makeup as well. I’m still not sold on it as a look.
The dress I just can’t agree with. However, is that a yellow coat on the rack beside her? I want to see more of that!
Love it all, for reasons unbeknownst to me.
Hours of labor and pain went into that hairdo, and the end result is…
She looks like June Allyson, who is the uncoolest actress in thehistory of film.
I have a blinding hate of June Allyson, which I’ll have to discuss with y’all later.
Me, too!
I had to Google June, and her Wikipedia page has the saddest story, I can’t hate on her I’m afraid. What caused the blind hate Jessica??? Here the Wikipedia bit I’m referring to:
In 1925, when Allyson was eight, a dead tree branch fell on her while she was riding on her tricycle with her pet terrier in tow.[6] The heavy branch killed her dog outright while Allyson had a fractured skull and broken back. Her doctors said she would never walk again and confined her to a heavy steel brace from neck to hips for four years.
Awwwwwwwww…..
Maybe just ‘blindly dislike’ then?
June Allyson’s life as reported in Wiki and her autobiography was largely made up by her, including the falling limb/dying dog story.
That hairdo looks like she has an inoperable tumor. Period. The dress is, I swear, 1, too big, 2, inside out and 3, needs a good brushing, or a shave, or a spray tank of Nair. No fair, because I like her very much.
Its practically tie dye. I. Just. Can’t.
I do love an interesting hair though. *appreciative nod*
The hemline is at exactly the right length. There, I said something nice about the dress.
What? I like it. Kind of a Vertigo/The Birds mash-up look.
Her hair looks like what you think you want and then it works and you realize it isn’t good.
I mean, the idea of your hair falling into the perfect roll and stil being smooth and shiny SOUNDS like a good idea…but then it happens and you realize it looks like Ken’s painted on hair….
I think the dress needs a belt….maybe.
She looks like she’s hosting a very fancy (key) party in 1970. Maybe some villain roles would be good for her. She’d be a badass wicked step-mother.
She wears the cutest, form-fitting dresses on her show – why can’t she get it right herself? That dress looks like a re-purposed potato sack.
UGH. NUDE LOUBS. that is such a cheat.
This is proof that all those magazines that say “Fake a chic bob by rolling up your long hair and pinning it in place!” are just totally lying to us. If this is what it looks like from the back and side, then no thanks.
That reminds me of the Wad ‘O Hair that Kate Winslet wore when she won her Consolation Oscar. I hated that look too.
Love the dress, but it needs some KAPOW! shoes.
To me, the dress looks like a sooty feather duster. Her hairstyle looks just like my favorite (read easiest) look I’d whip up on my Barbie Styling Head. I just knew when I became the world’s most fabulous hair stylist, everyone would be knocking down my door begging me to do their hair JUST LIKE THIS. Did I mention I was eight at the time?
I wish there was a ‘meh’ option for the dress. I think it could be unfugged with a wide silver belt (like the one Dannii Minogue’s wore to the Logies) and a lower neckline. And ka-pow shoes. And better hair.

Merry christmas!!!
What if I thought that if it was made of that fake fur that they put onto flat backings, like a pelt? Would it be awesome then? Cause somewhere deep inside of me is saying YES A CRAZY YES
Wow, in the “from the front” pic, swap out the hair and put a man’s shirt and a full skirt on her, and she’s Sharon Stone. Amiright??
I’m scared of both the dress and her facial expression.
Thank you! Nobody else has commented on her face and my first thought was “forget the hair and the dress…wtf is wrong with her face?!” Isn’t she like 27? She looks like a botoxed 50 year old.
Thank you for any other magnificent article. Where else could anybody get that type of info in such an ideal manner of writing? I’ve a presentation subsequent week, and I’m at the look for such information.
LOL at the above comment.
Also, this is CRACKED OUT and I LOVE IT. Also also, I wish I could play the Baroness role, and by Baroness role, I mean the ACTUAL Baroness from the Sound of Music. sigh…
