8 photos in galleryYou know how we always say that Piper Perabo is unable to walk a red carpet without making the most insane series of facial expressions? It turns out she is also not above using her dress as a prop. I literally could not find a shot wherein she wasn’t doing….something. This may have been intentional, as it is hideous. (Sorry, Piper. But we could see ALL OF YOUR BOOBS and also all the rest of you, and it’s the color of dirty dishwater.) Let’s see what we can piece together.

She was drunk, correct?
This dress is a dirty disaster.
I assume she was drunk (or something). In fact I hope she was because if she acted like that sober I have concerns.
She ALWAYS poses cracked out, though. I think she just likes to mug.
I loved this dress and she looked pretty
The dress is indeed a disaster. But I did love how she kept laughing and smiling.
Now if we can get her to wear actual clothes and look this happy and animated, we’ll have something.
You know, I used to have a soft spot for Piper. For some reason, I wanted to cheer for her and for her to get it right – she seems quite likeable – but she just makes it so damn hard!
Apparently Piper has a soft spot of her own – and it’s in her head. This dress is nowhere near as fun, flirty or girlie as she’s trying to portray. She looks like a rode hard, put away wet Cinderella who left her slip in the pumpkin carriage.
Uh, no, she left the DRESS in the carriage.
when I saw her presenting in this dress I said to Beloved Spouse “LOOK AT WHAT SHE’S WEARING!!!!!!!!” and we both cracked up. We were so awestruck by the incredible badness of her shower curtain dress that I can’t even remember who her co-presenter was.
I really like the shoes though.
She presented with Sarah Michelle Gellar!
Poor baby. She actually looked pretty in that purple dress. And now that you’ve reminded me, I also remember saying that I loved how comfortable she seemed in her body too. (Well, actually, I said something less politcally correct, but equally favourable – but we were in the privacy of our own home.
)
She wore this and she PRESENTED?? Oy vey.
And this is why I hate her because between the two of them, that was too much dress on stage. If SMG had strolled out with a dude (even Seth Rogen or better yet …Joseph Gordon Levitt), her dress would have rocked. But paired up with that mugging woman who walked out in such a way to make her beige mess even BIGGER, Sarah was competing with madness. And madness always wins, alas.
Am I the only one who actually would LOVE this dress if it were actually lavender/purple and not see through? I really, really like the shape of it, especially the skirt.
The poses just seem to add to the whole three-year-old flower girl’s dress thing. If she were a toddler, this would (almost) be adorable.
If she were a toddler, it would be too icky to contemplate.
I love the way she’s holding her dress, living out her childhood walt disney-cinderella dreams (but ahem, C’s dresses weren’t see-through)
I think it’s fun. In blue it’d be great.
I like it too. I think it would be awesome in bright orange.
She looks… unstable.
Why is she wearing a giant inflated surgical glove?
Nice shoes. That’s about it.
Exactly!
If Lea Michele had been doing all this mugging, I wouldn’t have thought it was at all charming or fun. Apparently, if Piper Perabo does it in a dingy dress, I do.
Agree. I feel like she just doesn’t give a damn, and decided to go all-out entertaining. But then again, I love the absurd plot lines of Covert Affairs, so my judgment can’t be trusted.
I am eternally fascinated by the 352 different kinds of smiles she employs on that show.
PROS: Her hair & makeup are very pretty! She found a nailpolish that exactly matches the color of the dress and rocked it! Her jewelry is nice and her sparkly silver shoes are awesome! Plus, she looks happy!
CONS: Her dress is actually made out of semi-transparent PEVA Shower Liners and we can see more than we should! And, her Red Carpet poses are as silly as the dress!
There’s something super-cool about the ballooning shape of the skirt and (sometimes) the shape of the bodice, but wow, the transparent, mingy, wrinkly-in-motion execution is a a HUGE fail. Piper Perabo is the cutest, though. I hope she’s not drunk, and that in fact she’s always like this.
I agree, it’s all in the execution. I feel like if it would have been hemmed up another inch or two so that she couldn’t prop or stand it up on the carpet, it would’ve been better and maybe just flowed a little more.
Agreed! I was thinking how I truly liked the cut of the dress…. just not the color or the material. I’d love to see it in something….well, something not THAT.
I don’t understand. It looks like the lining of a dress that someone got lazy with and just decided not to make an outer shell for. If this were, you know, NOT a shower curtain, and it were a real colour it would probably be great. At least she’s learned how to smile. Though she also seems to be taking a leaf out of Leah Michelle’s book. Not sure if the mugging is better on her, or equally annoying.
This is exactly what I thought. It looks like she’s wearing the lining of an actual dress. I think, based on the interesting shape, I might have liked the actual dress.
I agree that I might have like the actual dress. In the 3rd photo, if you squint, you can imagine it as an ethereal, gauzy, floaty kind of thing.
It looks like one of those Palmer & Pletsch “learn to sew” patterns, without the sleeves.
She’s like Sharon Stone Jr. I foresee some disastrous love affairs and a Komodo Dragon incident in her future.
The saddest thing to me is that had this dress been done with a different material, and had it been in an flattering color, it would have been a home run. Yes, that skirt is big and poofy, but for a major awards ceremony that’s par for the course.
So close, and yet SO far.
but her hair looked good! right?
Sharon Stone Jr. is an excellent description. Cute shoes, crazy everything else. And that third pic does indeed look like she’s donned a billowing plastic bag.
The dress looks like something Lady Gaga would wear…of course she would have some sort of huge hat to go with it, and likely sunglasses…just weird on someone else!
Sharon Stone Jr, EXACTLY!
Aww -I just love her – I love that she’s having fun and sticking with her natural shape -and I love the shoes. But yes -the dress is no bueno.
The bodice reminds me of the dress that Miley wore sometime last week, with the sheer panels in the front. For all the sheer leg curtains we’ve been seeing lately, it is refreshing to find one in a crazy ball gown silhouette.
I think the CUT is beautiful, but the material is a big wtfug?? Shoes are great, hair & makeup are great…. I just can’t get over the plastic material….
Well, at least it looks like she’s having fun, right? I think this dress has the potential, but the color ruins it and turns it into a dirty shower curtain. I do love the shoes and the nail polish (the hair and makeup is pretty good too).
If you want transparent, go transparent! Wear some bedazzled underwear or something that says, “Hey, you can see my underwear on purpose!” under some lacy something or other. Instead, every time I saw this, I felt embarrassed for her because I just kept thinking, “I really hope someone told her the dress was see through BEFORE she got out of the limo.”
This dress had a lot of potential, as other posters have said, but they forgot to finish it. Poor Piper.
I do love the shoes, though and her hair does look good. Not sure what to make of her cracked-out mugging on the red carpet–maybe she was trying to distract from the dress (and failing, since she was using it as a prop)?
I am the only person on earth who flat-out loves this dress. The only way I could love it more were if it were covered in translucent sequins and/ or glitter. Although I pretty much love anything covered in sequins and/ or glitter.
Yay Ann! I loves it too
It would be a GREAT base for some shiny tonal embellishment.
Yep, I saw this on another site and the first thing I thought was “And now the evening is complete, here’s crazy ass Sharon Stone”.
I am so over the see through clothes thing! The reason they call it underwear is that it goes under your clothes and no one is supposed to see it. I am officially adding this to the list of heinous fashion trends that should die a horrible, flaming death.
What is this material? It looks thick but it’s kinda see through at the same time…?
The shoes. That’s it. The rest blows.
Am I the only person who loves this costume?! And besides, she doesn’t have any boobs (to speak of), I think they’re moles. (And, no, not the kind that burrow into dirt.) I really LOVE this dress! so there
no need to say anthing about that dress.
her face looks nip/tucked. she looks like maria bello now. coyote ugly is haunting her, i guess.
I don’t know, there’s something about this that’s winning me over even as I type. i hate it less than at least a good 98 percent of the beige dresses I’ve seen on the red carpet over the past two decades.
This dress was my pick for the worst of the night. Never go out in the color of dirty dishwater. It’s not flattering on anyone.
On a night full of bland-colored gowns, this one was the fugliest!
Oh, man, I think it has a lot of potential! Yes, she should have worn a full on black or forest green ladies’ one piece swimsuit underneath, or somehow made the illusion of nudity not so realistic. And I’d give her the benefit of the doubt and figure she just realized how indecent this looks in the limo on the way over, and mugged it up to distract.
She has on some awesome shoes, her hair and makeup are very pretty… and then she blows it by wearing this. And I might even be kinda okay with the dress, if it wasn’t so seethrough. Honestly, in that first shot, where her legs are completely visible through it? Oy.
Clearly she’s drunk. Nice.
Am I the only one that liked this and thought she looked great??? The colour is mink peeps…
Nah you’re not the only one. I kinda like it. A bit less sheer would have been nice, and maybe with some hint of color, but oh well. It’s better than Angie’s dress, IMO. I’m sure I’m in the minority with that, though.
I also think Piper’s hair and makeup and face just look fab. And I think she’s holding the dress like that b/c people want to see the shoes.
Buffoon is the word that comes to mind. Maybe drunken buffoon.
Adore this dress. Just think it’s on the wrong gal. PP is a lovely girl, but the subtlety of the dress dies on her. A statuesque type would sell it better. On a GB it could be that nice mix of provocative and quietly tasteful. But even then, I’d still want to see an underskirt to kill the overt leg show. Love the shoes though.
I smiled all the way through that slide show, both because of Piper and Jessica.
JESUS!!! I thought this was Sharon Stone!
She is terrifying. TERRIFYING!!
She has to be Sharon Stone’s long lost biological daughter.
I gotta say, we’ve seen a lot of hideous outfits out there and this one doesn’t seem to stack up. Her hair and makeup are lovely, I like the cut and as see-through, revealing dresses go, this one is super tame. I guess it just means that most the dresses were great if this is getting panned as worst of the worst. I think the faces are great too, its nice to see someone having fun and not taking themselves so seriously all the time.
So unflattering. From the front her torso looks quite masculine. Looks like androgynous male model Andrej Pejic
That dress is horrible! But I gotta admit I’m charmed.
What boobs I didn’t see any boobs I think it is a guy in drag. I have seen bigger boobs on a toddler.
I LIKE THE FACT SHE DOESNT HAVE BIG FAKE BOOBS! She is comfortable and happy. The dress is gross though.
Can I just say when she flashed an open-lipped smile, I gasped at the color of her teeth?
The dress is ridiculous and she’s acting like an idiot. Go home!
I finally figured it out: She’s wearing a shower curtain. That’s what I was trying to think of when I first saw this dress.
okay, don’t hate me, but I think it’s kind of cool. Minus the see-through part, that I could do without.
Alas, she has succumbed to facial surgery. And double alas, it makes her look older, not more youthful.
Having seen her “in person” a couple of times, i can attest to her lack of needing any of that nonsense. Such a shame she went for it.
Okay, I’m in the minority, but besides its transparency I liked the dress. Especially the bigness and balloonness of the skirt. However, I am biased; I really like her on Covert Affairs.
@ellen: yeah! orange! perfect!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED indeed. I really do want to see what she wears to the Emmys now…
So THIS is where shower curtains go when they die.
For me, this was, hands down, the worst dress of the Golden Globes. It looked SO MUCH WORSE on teevee than in these photos.
This is awful.. & I’m not getting endearing from these photos.. I’m getting loca!! That colour is awful especially with her skin colour. Awful!! I really hoped she realized it was see through like you would realize that when you look in a mirror right?
The dress has a great structural shape, as others have said. Unfortunately, in this fabric, she looks to be wearing a re-purposed tent.
1. Who the heck is Piper Perabo?
2. Awesome shoes!
3. If she had to work that hard to get people to notice her dress was see through, maybe she should have just stuck to only the shoes. Her cheek muscles would thank her.
Dead serious – I thought she was Sharon Stone for a bit.
She always has fun (she isn’t drunk you rude people). She doesn’t care what others think AND she got to be there – YOU didn’t.
thought it was sharon stone.
Bitch. Is. High.
Did you see when she presented? As Peter Dinklage was walking away with his statue she lifted that skirt up. For a split second it looked like the dress was going to EAT him! He even looked a little scared there for a split second. That dress is the thing of nightmares.
Next year, I will help her get dressed. I will steer her towards a great choice in a bold color, and then will we get high together in the limo.
