Oh, Sundance. I love the fact that it’s all either cocktail dresses or furry boots and sweaters — finally, starlets understand where/why Uggs are meant to be worn. That said, I’m not sure Kate scored a home run on either front. Here, I keep thinking this dress is a performance art piece called Stomp: The Death of Sebastian the Crab. Right? Something about the pattern of the sequins looks like a crustacean that rudely met its end under the sole of somebody’s Ugg. Or… maybe I’m just dehydrated today.

the red dress is sooooo tight, and she is sooooo freakin skinny, it is uncomfortable to look at her.. someone grab her and cram HoHos down her throat until she is a size 2…sheesh
I kinda like that last sweater. It’s wacky but huge, cozy, and not boring.
I like the sweater too! Its a bit different/very different but I like the shape of it and she looks nice and relaxed.
Me too. It’s sooo cozy and relaxes her look.
I also like it, aaaand she finally looks (sorta) relaxed.
I think the red would have worked if she’d gone up a size and done something with her hair. Maybe different lipstick
The tight updoes don’t fit her because she has a large wide forehead and it makes her whole head look vaguely alien-shaped. Though her hair in the last image isn’t much better.
Everything about the first photo looks painful, particularly that bizarre pose she’s standing in.
Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. I cant stand her or her dumb clothes.
That red dress is so tight it’s making her looks like she has a belly and we all know she doesn’t.
Agree. What is the big deal with her? She’s skeletal and not that pretty. Even the 20lbs she could use wouldn’t change that. Yawn.
The cut of the dress (or the wrinkles) also make her look pregnant. And there’s nothing wrong with being pregnant but starlets know that if you show up in anything that hints at even the slightest bump around your middle (whether it be the cut of the dress or too much Mexican food the night before), the press is going to have you knocked up by the next printing. And I agree – girl needs to ditch the updos. But not for a poor man’s Cosby sweater and stringy hair.
I think it’s her stance actually – she has such a swayback thing going on that she’s jutting out her pelvis and that teeny tiny hip – makes for an oddly bumpy bump.
Is she pregnant? Serious question.
I actually like that red dress. Of course, I always hated Sebastian The Crab.
The sweater looks like it’s inside out (yes, likely on purpose). When you knit a sweater with colored patterns that stand out from the background, that’s what the yarn “floats” look like on the wrong side, especially when you just cut the ends and leave them hanging as a detail, I guess?
It’s a new sweater trend. I knit and we have been discussing how batshit crazy stupid it looks.
I don’t think she’s pregnant, I think she is trying (and failing) to master the Paris Pelvis-first pose.
“This looks like someone passed out in the middle of trying to knit a Cosby sweater.” Snicker.
Re photo #1: Kate’s lips are coming to k-k-kill me.
She’s one of those people who seems to be much more famous for showing up to things than for her performances. I’m woefully (and happily) out of the Hollywood loop, so I wonder if they get paid for showing up at parties and posing in front of the infinite co-branding backdrops?
Re the red dress: The boobs have eyes.
I kind of like all three. Although if she went up a size in the red dress, that would probably help. Oh, and if she fixed her hair and makeup. But I don’t actually hate the dress, just the way she’s styled it there.
The black dress is cute though, and I don’t *hate* the sweater. I don’t love it either though.
Tiny as she is and she/her stylist/her dressmaker still can’t get that red dress in the right size? Sheesh, what hope is there for the rest of us clunky normal-sized humans?
I think the red dress paired with those shoes, that hair, and that lipstick age her considerably. And not in a good way.
I can’t even see the black dress because I’m freaked out by how tiny her legs are.
Re: her hair — it looks like it’s so baby fine that she defaults to pulling it back like a synchronized swimmer. I think her features are so delicate, and her eyes are so unusual in their different colors, that she would look great in a short cut. Right???
The red dress looks like she has something stuffed in the front… an extra swag bag perhaps?
The black dress is ok, nothing earth shattering, but I do agree on her hair….. she needs to stop pulling it back.
I really like the sweater. Not something I could get away with but she’s working it…
That’s what I thought too – it looks lumpy under there! I thought it looked like she was wearing an undershirt that got bunched up.
I agree with those who say the red dress makes her belly look big. And if a dress can make her belly look big, then there is something wrong.
Right? It looks like she is shoplifting or something.
The first photo is cringe-worthy. A person can be as skinny (or as fat, like me) as nature intended, and you can’t fault them for that. But one should dress to minimize the figure imperfections, and highlight the best features. Kate’s best features are not her protruding ears, abdomen, and hip bones, and her pretty face is almost invisible with the aggressive monochrome tomato look.
The sheer black swiss dot party frock belongs on a mourning five year old.
The sweater? Hair down = much better. Now try bangs, and layers.
ah ah “monochrome tomato look”!!!!
Thank you, everyone, for saying the first thing I thought: POSTURE. Miss J would smack her with a ruler.
Isn’t a protruding stomach like that what happens when you are literally starving?
She and Emma Roberts need an eating intervention. Seriously.
I think the problem with the dress is the wrong undergarment? Spanx! Double spanx for a smooth line! And then stand up straight.
I think the problem with the red dress is that she torqued her left leg in so much (in that toes in to make you skinny stance that is just horrible and stupid) that her left pelvic bone is protruding, pushing out the fabric and creating the illusion of a tummy. Plus maybe an unwise undergarment. There is no way that’s tummy, no matter what her gastrointestinal situation. It’s not even in the middle of her body. In this case, tiny person trying to look tinier backfired. It’s kinda ridiculous and kinda sad.
Don’t mind any of the clothes, but yeah, she could stand up straight and soften her hair.
The jumper looks deliciously cozy.
My first thought was holey s#!t she has a baby bump but she is so freaking skinny. In the red dress of course…..
I actually think she look super cute in that sweater. But you cannot trust me, because I have a longstanding girl crush on her.
The red dress does not fit her, her posture is awful, and the pattern is unfortunate. The ‘crab’ legs look to draw attention to what looks like a protruding stomach. Just dreadful!
Thanks for the tip, FGs: Looks like the use of the word “delicate” is perfectly legal. Excellent …. that’ll work!
I don’t like the red lipstick. She has very full lips and I just think they look better when kept more natural.
I love her sticky-outy ears. They’re endearing and kind of cute…. as for her size…I worry.
The fashion…hate the red dress, only like the skirt of the black dress and the sweater I hated till there was a Cosby reference. Now, I can’t help but love it.
She has such a high forehead and a heart shaped face, she really has to stop pulling her hair back like this. It makes her look like a freaking bobble-head doll.
I hope that’s not her Pilates neutral posture.
*position* I meant neutral position. Time for a G&T. Pilates is tomorrow.
Now all I want it for her to have a cute bob!! She should totally do that!! Meh to the clothes not the worst I’ve seen or the best!
The clothes are OK. But they don’t fit her personnal style. She is trying to pull a fierce Anggelina, but she is delicate hipster Bosworth. And nothing wrong with that.
Re: tummy issue, and I know we shouldn’t say this, but it is quite disturbing to be undecided between an anorexia diagnosis and a pregancy one.
Exactly this. I simultaneously think she could be pregnant or showing hipbones. How is that possible? Either way, it points to a bad sartorial decision.
I really miss “Blue Crush”-era Kate Bosworth. Remember how cute she was there? Sigh.
I just wish she would gain 20 pounds. I’d even settle for 15. What does she eat every day? Lettuce and water? I just can’t even imagine being that skinny and walking around every day.
I can’t believe people can look at this and think, “pregnant.” That shadow is under her HIPBONES, people. THAT IS HER PELVIS.
what is that alien like lump under the crustacean design?
I think she and Rachel Bilson should have a weigh off– I’d love to know how much they actually weigh!
Did she dislocate a hip!?! Good night!!
The red dress is so weird. I even looked at the full size image and I can’t figure out what’s happening there. Did she stuff a travel pillow up her dress or something?
The sweater in the last shot is hideous but I kind of love her hair and very natural makeup in the last shot. Really want to know where she got that pink lippy.
She frustrates me because she’s so pretty and talented and doesn’t seem to do much as far as movies lately. Also, she’s very thin, so that’s worrisome. The red dress I like in a way, but as others have said, how can one manage to look both too thin and yet have a tummy showing? Also, even the hose-hating among us will think that tights/panty hose, or maybe, boots, etc. are okay in UTAH in JANUARY in WINTER.
Happy Chinese New Year to you too, Kate.
her hair in the photo #3 is the reason for her hair in photos 1 and 2. that hair is a mess.
God I love her eyes. I know there’s a fancy sciencey-name for the different colors but it’s been a long day and I’m in no mood to battle Google…sorry.
I wonder once again why lovely young women don’t just be lovely and youthful while they still are.
Loosen up, gain a few, wear Zooey type dresses ( you all share a closet, after all), find a cute guy ( what was wrong with Alexander ?????) and relax. SHE IS SO TIGHT AND FRAUGHT WITH NEUROSIS-LOOKING….
Lord, somebody feed that child a sandwich, or 5. It hurts to look at her. I keep expecting to read that she’s fallen and broken something. I can’t fathom how it’s possible that those tiny bones can 1) hold up her head 2) be functional. I never find anything she wears to be fabulous because I just can’t get around the large size of her head proportionate to her too-thin body. Healthy is fabulous!
To be fair, some people are just naturally thin. I know someone who weighs 85 pounds and gaining anymore weight would be bad for her.
She probably has very fine hair to begin with, but, as in the last picture, it also looks like malnourishment hair. Whatever the case, she needs better hairstyling.
*sigh* It must be tough to stay healthy (mentally & physically) in Hollywood.
Has she got a famine victim tummy?
Oh my gosh, can you people stop commenting on her weight. I don’t like this weight-gossip-crap! Seriously, leave her alone and comment on the clothes.
A soft ponytail with curly tendrils would have made the sweater look so much more…sweater-y. Her hair looks lank and boring :/
