When a friend of mine promised to bring wine over for the Super Bowl, I cautioned him to do the classy thing and ensure it was an open bottle poking out of a crinkled brown paper bag.
I think Mia gave her stylist a similar edict.

This is so bad that I just feel kind of bewildered. With most looks that fail you can at least see where the designer was trying to go. This, on the other hand, is a complete puzzler. And I don’t think that I want to solve the puzzle.
Is it on backwards? Please tell me she accidentally put this on backwards.
It’s like she’s jumped into Vivienne Westwood’s grocery bag!
Just say no to nude ankle straps. Her ankles look dissected.
Bisected? Ah…Wednesdays.
Besides the horror of the dress, rice paper needed STAT! Your face should not reflect the camera’s flash.
Who put this lipstick on her? Her 5-year-old sister?
I think the shoes offend me more than the dress itself. Mia, fire your(or get a) stylist! You are a big enough star that you don’t need to look like crap!
Feet, WHAT?!?
The rest of it is pretty wretched as well, but those pointy, flesh-colored shoes are creepy.
She is so pretty, why does she keep doing this??? Ack.
Total scroll-down fug for me. I was happy to see the red lipstick. It’s a nice change.
I also found the shoes to actually be the worst part of the outfit. I know it’s hard to tell because she’s facing the camera but they make her legs look like two big poles.
There is literally nothing I like about this.
From _Alice in Wonderland_:
“‘Come, my head’s free at last!’ said Alice in a tone of delight, which changed into alarm in another moment, when she found that her shoulders were nowhere to be found: all she could see, when she looked down, was an immense length of neck, which seemed to rise like a stalk out of a sea of green leaves that lay far below her.”
She is incredibly lovely (how perfect was she in Alice?) but she really needs help with her styling. Mostly about balance and proportion. Her makeup, for example, is way too heavy on the lipstick here, but her eyes look barely made-up at all. Balance and proportion. A lot of the time (but not quite so much here), she’s REALLY dressed from the neck down, but her hair looks like she’s done absolutely nothing with it. Balance and proportion.
And I know this sounds weird, but her body always seems to be a little out of proportion. For a while, I just thought she was the victim of a photographer who was shooting from too high, but it seems every time I see a picture of her at an event, there is almost an Alice in Wonderland quality about her body. The top half of her body looks like a 6-foot-tall woman, and the bottom half of her body looks like someone who is 5’1″. Not a dig, certainly. Just how she is built. Or maybe it’s just the illusion of short legs from her style choices: she almost always picks a skirt that’s too long and clunky shoes that cut the line of her legs and make her bottom half all chopped up and short.
It’s important for a stylist to — not just put in her nice clothes – but to work with her body. Right now, her stylist is doing neither. Besides the fact that the skirt she’s wearing is unattractive and too busy and in a color that works against her skin tone, it is also working against her proportions. Though not graced with her swan-like neck, I have a long torso and wide shoulders, but the bottoms of my legs are really short, so I have work to give the illusion of longer legs so I will look in proportion: I wear longer pants with wide hems and high heeled shoes so I have just one long uninterrupted line from my waist down. With a skirt, I wear tights with matching shoes or a nude leg with nude pumps. I never wear flats with a skirt and I always wear a skirt above my knee to make the bottom part of my legs look longer. Think of how lovely Miss Mia could have looked here with more balanced makeup and if she wore her white top with just simple long black pants and a light, strappy high heel. Her bottom half would be long and lithe and match her neck… she would looks so fantastic. Think of how gorgeous and stylish Amber Heard was when she wore her black and white outfit (see Dec. 9th post) with her legs going from here to eternity.
OMG….so sorry that was so long! I need to think about balance and proportion myself!
Nonsense, CJ – I agree with all of it. I was thinking she could take lessons from Claire Danes, who sometimes really gets long-torso right. I also think Mia could have advice on colours, as she’s so delicate that she can easily look wiped-out.
If dressing rooms had hidden cameras, this is what it would look like when someone tried on a strapless dress over her yoga tank.
Which is the worst element here? Witchy-poo pointy beige ankle strap shoes? Horrid clown lips? Blast furnace hair? Or the pretty dusty rose satin strapless number slipping off her Mormon Undergarment?
Yes.
Awesome ; )
If you have piano legs, don’t call attention to them–even if it’s with nude-tone shoes. Cover those gams. ewwwww
Her facial expression does say though “Yes, I know. I KNOW” so I forgive her for wearing whatever you call that.
She, Carey Mulligan, and Michelle Williams need to have a pixie/waif/overgrown toddler in Mommy’s shoes twee-off once and for all, already. Bleh.
Why would anyone with any functioning brain cells wear this monstrosity in public?
Did she lose a bet?
Oh, that whole outfit is awful… Why, oh why? Plus, that lipstick should be banned for its retinas-burning effect!
Wow. She looks like a very fancy maraca. Hadn’t realized how big her head is or what a long neck she has
Yikes.
It makes me laugh – definitely FUG – but I kinda dig that she’s reminding me of another smart gal – doesn’t she look a bit like Martha Plimpton here?
It didn’t look better in real life either. It’s very typical of her, modest and a little quirky. In this case not quirky enough to be stand out. I don’t know if she felt awkward but she looked awkward in this dress.
What does it say about how she usually dresses that I think this is one of her better efforts? Sigh.
I do wish the couture cobblers of the world would STOP with the ankle straps already! The women who can wear them well are the exception, and not the rule.
She always reminds me a little of Claire Danes – can be totally lovely, but can also come off a little awkward. I adored her in Alice in Wonderland, and thought she was so pretty, but have been disappointed since.
The outfit is horrible. Horrible.
But she looks an awful lot like a young Sean Young with that hairstyle and makeup. And that’s not a bad thing at all.
