It’s no mystery that I love Viola Davis. I think she is a dish. We saw her at Fashion Week and my god, she is good-looking in person. She looks about 25. (She actually is 46.) I also saw The Help on the plane, and she’s so great it in. I just dig her. THAT BEING SAID:
The women behind her and I are all making the exact same face, which says, “that dress is great, and that color is fab, but we collectively have some doubts about what you’ve decided to do with your boobs because it looks like you shoved two bagels under there.” Don’t get me wrong, Viola. Bagels are AMAZING. But for they’re for breakfast, not ball gowns.
Comments (47):
Poor things were pushed up only to be smashed flat. Not a good looking combination.
I couldn’t have made the jump to “bagels.”
I got stuck on OUCH
I must agree. The color is beautiful, but I am in pain just looking at her boobs.
It’s an awful look, no matter who you are. Have a snack before you leave the house, so you don’t have to resort to smuggling bagels, or grapefruits or cantaloupes into the event.
The unfortunate situation with her breasts totally ruins this. It should have been a great dress because everything else about it is good, but all the good points are completely overwhelmed by the fact that it’s screaming LOOK AT MY BOOBS!!!!! Viola is better than that.
I agree–Viola, it’s beneath you to display them like that! Just a bit more coverage, and it would’ve been sexy AND classy. This is just…not.
Good grief, this would have been fantastic without that tragic boobular situation.
This eerily recalls Jennifer Hudson’s issue with a certain orange Versace.
Ow. Ow. Owwwwwwwwwwww!
Too bad, other than the boob bondage, this looks amazing on her.
The faces of the women behind her are HILARIOUS. They’re a collective “Oh, honey, no!”
And yes, but for the boob torture, she would have looked spectacular.
That woman behind her has no room to criticize. She’s wearing what appears to be frosted lipstick!
It seems like she could have just pulled the girls to the sides a little and the fabric a little more towards the middle and we wouldn’t be having this discussion right now. Why did no one inform her of that option? Or maybe the bodice is just too small, it’s a little hard to tell. Unfortunate.
If the scoop neck was not so deep, this could be gorgeous. But I think she also needs a bit more room in the bodice of the dress. Imagine a bit more space for the ladies to breathe and a scoop that stopped a little above half-way mark on her breasts (or even a little higher) and this would be fab.
Tom & Lorenzo called them “baby heads” which almost made me spit out my tea. The poor dear must have been in agony. Unfortunate.
For the first time ever, I want to see less of Viola Davis.
I actually said, “Oh, whoa!” when looking at this. That is… a LOT of boob. Just a whole lot.
I HATE this so much! Because it had a lot of potential for an attractive woman and an excellent actress. Instead, it doesn’t flatter her at all. We want our body parts to be enhanced and/or covered by clothes. This does neither. If a designer or stylist gave her this dress, same with the white, strapless dress she recently wore, get rid of him or her.
Well it’s good she bombed now and not on Oscar night. You don’t want her peaking too soon. On some show too they pointed out that she’s not a rich woman. She’s been acting, but stage actors don’t make a ton of money, so bravo to her for looking like a million bucks with a lesser budget. I know she’s getting loans and free stuff and whatnot, but avoiding the crap and making good choices when so much is being tossed at you is pretty impressive.
…does anyone else have a craving for pancakes with orange preserve topping? For some reason, I do, and I have no idea why.
These boobs are painful to look at.
UNDERBOOB!!!
Dang, girl. Maybe she was on her way to the audition for “Not Without My Rage Racket: The Serena Williams Story.”
Eep, the strain on that halter makes my neck hurt! Put another 2 inches of fabric in there and her boobs would look like they’re supposed to. Breast-smash aside, she looks fabulous.
Can you imagine if the halter was criss-crossed? That would take out that entire triangular underboob area, and it would look fabulous. I am happy, if she had to falter, that it was here and not there.
HA HA – as I scrolled down one word occurred to me “BAGELS” . This is clearly a great minds moment.
This photo is hilarious! Everything about this dress is FAB, besides the mondo cleavage.
Never thought I’d say this, but Viola needs to use a cami secret, even if she is clearly not wearing a bra from which to hang it.
Kikikikikiki…I love to snicker, and this post, made me snicker. It also reminded me of the commercial where a guy shouts up to the window to his girlfriend that his STD test is negative” and, a woman on the street, who can’t believe what she just heard is on the phone with her girlfriend, says, “oooooh girrrrrrrrrlllll!” That’s the expression on the women behind her. Priceless.
More than I needed to know about Viola Davis.
this ruined a perfect dress!! I bet no one could look her in the eyes that night!!
Too round, too flat, too shiny, too much!
So unattractive…well, actually, just so weird-looking…that’s all the eye is drawn to.
A shame, as everything else is terrific…her face, her hair, the colour & design of the dress.
My word…you are much more than just your boobs.
Bagels! Brilliant.
She’s usually so classy.. Dunno how she went for this…boob thing… Can’t believe she’s actually 46!!!!
I LOVE the expressions of the ladies behind her. Just perfect.
The worst part of her bagels is that it appears she actually buttered them.
My DDs are in pain after seeing that picture, so I can only imagine the agony her boobs were under! Too much, Viola, too much!
This is more Pam Anderson than Viola. Wth happened?
Ouch Ouch Ouch!!
I weep for those boobs! Freeeeeedoommmmmmm!!!
Scotty cries:”I canna hold ‘er, Capt’n, she’s gonna blow!”
flashback to jennifer hudson at last year’s Oscars. I think there’s an evil red carpet boob-wrangler at work.
A straight male friend of mine said he thought she looked sexy. (I know … sigh.) So maybe she wore this for her husband. I’m not saying she should have, because, OH MY GOD, VIOLA, YOU ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!
And that wig. No. Just no.
No.
I came on here to blast her but then I read that she’s 46. Seriously? Whoa she’s hot. Carry on then. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing. 46 is not old. But still. Our Fug Girls are right – she looks 25! CARRY ON, I SAY.
When you’re reminded of Katie “Jordan” Price, it’s not good. There’s a certain “type” that always have their boobs on display a certain way; Viola should be better than this.
All I can see is bagels now.
PLEASE, somebody cover those balloons!!!
They’re so shiny. And taut – like an engorged tick. Not a great look on such a neat lady.
Such a shame. Great dress but her boobs just look weird.
