So, Lauren Pope here is on this show called The Only Way Is Essex, which I have never seen, because it’s a British reality show, but from what I understand, it’s like a British version of The Hills only, I presume, trashier? I wouldn’t normally presume that it’s trashier, except….well:
So many it’s more like the British Jersey Shore? After all, Lauren Conrad and Speidi were a lot of things, but there’s one thing you can say about them, and that’s that they were never required by the laws of decency to use boob tape to affix a table runner to their ass in hopes of pretending it was a dress.

OMG The Only Way Is Essex is so so so bad its good…you should try it out, at least for the hilarious outfits
There actually is a British Jersey Shore called Geordie Shore, and it is fabulous. Although I needed subtitles while watching in order to better understand the local insults.
You can totally watch TOWIE on Hulu Plus. It is like Laguna Beach meets the Jersey Shore but with English Accents. Horrible. Wonderful. Such a fine line.
I was watching it on regular Hulu, which is a good thing, because paying money to watch that would make my soul bleed.
TOWIE is available on hulu. And I agree, the “fashion” alone makes it a must watch. Like The Hills, nothing really happens.
It is fascinating because each episode is shot only a few days before it airs so the people are both getting more famous and more aware that they are famous as the series goes on.
Wait, wait…is that a SLEEVE on her left arm? WTH?!?!?
Well, someone found a way out out-slit Kristen Stewart’s premiere dress.
I’d be interested to know what event she was attending and how drunk she had to be to think that this was a good idea.
It’s the London Twilight premiere!
With the left sleeve showing, I’m wondering if this is a Frankendress: totally covering on the left side, all open on the right… Now I need a shot from the front or left to satisfy my curiosity!
yes, it is totally covering the other side, which makes it more .. interesting. but not less tacky
I’ve never been so moved by something on this site before that I had to comment but his is possibly the worst thing I’ve ever seen..I feel visually assaulted.
She’s got a pretty good body. You know how she GOT that body? By standing with every muscle clenched as to not reveal anything untoward in that dress.
… except her boob is resting on her navel because, well, those big girls need support!
She got that body by visiting a plastic surgeon a few times combined with not eating much.
TOWIE is all the trashiest bits of kardashians, jersey shore and all laguna beach / hills combined. Its amazing. You will love it, I promise. Have eye bleach handy though
I’m exhausting just looking at her. Can you imagine the effort it took to keep everything covered? Also, I think her hair is a wig.
I love the look on the face of woman in the background. She has the same “what the . . .?” expression I did when I saw this picture. And she (presumably) can’t even see her awful plastic hair and Bratz doll makeup.
Didn’t Toni Braxton already do this look, sleeveless?
She has obviously come from the same factory as Jordan. The biggest assault to my eyes is her orange tan, it sincerely pains me.
She looks like a slutty orange BRATZ doll. Even though it’s a full length “dress”, I’d say it qualifies more as lingerie.
there’s also no better way to say ” I tan in the nude” than this dress.
There’s so much desperation in this photo, it’s really quite tragic. The look says “I’m hot s**t but also my soul is broken.”
I agree. I haven’t got a clue who this person is, but she seems to lack confidence that she has anything beyond hotness to offer. It just makes me sad.
TOWIE for ever! Way better than the “posh’ version of Made in Chelsea. The best part is that this isn’t her evening makeup. It’s her everyday makeup.
Straight out of Logan’s Run…. but not spangly.
Yes, British Jersey Shore. Complete can’t look away trainwreck. The worst thing about this dress is that it makes her boobs look like they’re sagging to her waist. Okay, maybe that’s not the worst thing about it. But one of them anyway. And the tan. OMG, the tan. And the fact that she looks like she has a moustache. But I digress…
The tan to me is the most staggering thing about it. And what do you think she’s used for blush? Modelling clay?!
Now wait a minute. Let’s put on our anthropologist hats (which are obviously pith helmets).
Do British people understand tan? How could they? Depending on the part of the country they live in, they may only experience solar radiation once every three years. This lady, and I say lady because I assume by her photo that she is over 48 years old and smokes, clearly discovered tanning bed technology, or the Canary Islands, this past year, and, like any new convert or chronic vitamin-D deficient, has thrown herself whole-hog into a naive embrace of carcinogenic UV rays. Let’s air drop some medical brochures over Essex, to make sure this alarming self-abuse doesn’t happen again to yet another innocent.
The expression of everyone in the background is the same kind of horrified expression you see watching somebody tossing kittens in a wood chipper.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Wow, as a trash TV connisuer (sp?) I HAVE to watch this show, I cant believe I’ve not heard of it! (Although we do suffer for good overseas trash here in Australia LOL)
And yep, Geordie Shore is the British version of Jersey shore – LOVE IT! Prob helps that my family comes from Newcastle, so I feel a strange affinity for the show
Vulgar mess
Does anyone think this is sexy?
You summed it up perfectly with just 2 words. Thank you !
the desperation, it burns.
It would be highly entertaining if she tried to dance some salsa in that.
Does tanning spray have no toxic limit?
My first thought when I saw this, other than HOLYMOTHEROFHOTPOTOFCOFFEE!!, was that I had found Rebecca Twigley/Judd’s next Brownlow dress. And that will make no sense at all to anyone but an Australian.
But RT woud do it canary yellow with some crystals on the trim…
Is it possibly to contract chlamydia through one’s keyboard?
On the downside … uggghhh, no. This is like the Towering Inferno of downsides.
On the up side: Seems the UK has been getting some great weather. What a tan, right?
TOWIE is fantastic! It made popular the practice of vajazzling – putting sparkly crystals on one’s lady bits. Before learning what vajazzling was, the young gay friend on the show suspected it might have been “a Mexican dinner or something.” Awesome!
And the poor thing probably thought it was fab.
Note to Lauren Pope: Nakedness is for home; clothes are for going out in public.
Normally I just laugh at these people, but this picture is really depressing. Is she even IN THERE? It’s sad. I need a Bai Ling chaser to wash away the aftertaste.
It’s bold. There is coverage from her neck down to her toes, but also exposure on the side.
Oddly, I’m more concerned about her hair color that is DOING NOTHING for her.
TOWIE is nothing like the Jersey Shore … except for the tanning and nails. Hah. I was expecting it to be a nightmare indulgence of fighting and whoring, but they just act catty and cry in cute Essex accents. No one throws drinks or fights or shows their vagina, so it is actually a pretty good show if you don’t really like reality TV that is super-duper, soul-suckingly trashy like Jersey Shore. It is all really staged, but what isn’t nowadays!
And this dress is just … bad. It could be improved by a different color/fabrick and if the belted section actually being tied with like a braided belt [Grecian cut or something] to where when she walked it would be like “holy hell, slit up to the thigh!” but the whole 2 inches of nothing all the way down one side just makes for a ridiculous garment.
fabric **
yikes.
Is this legal?
I just want to wash her! & how does she not expose her self while walking, sitting ect ect?
Oh God. I haven’t seen this show but it is indeed about trashbags. And this looks like a trashbag to me. Fine for our Sydney Mardi Gras but please……..
I was so shocked by the dress I didn’t notice the tan.
OH, MY GOD! Why did she even bother? That dress is rudiculous & disgusting, which makes me think that she’s ridiculous & disgusting… And, it has a left long sleeve? WTF?
Ah TOWIE is pretty addictive. It recently won a BAFTA as it’s so damn popular. I was a fan of the first series and they’re oddlly sweet and funny viewing. But this season they are definitely more aware of what they are saying and doing and it’s lost its charm for me – And no more Amy Child who was the best thing about it.
It’s hard to explain Essex. It’s just so…..Essex. Like a word that doesn’t translate properly:)

I am so glad you fugged this. When I saw the pics on DListed, it was just screaming out for Heather and Jessica. I spent a long time pondering the mechanics of this dress (because I’m unemployed, alright???).
I’ve decided that it must have a built-in thong attached to the waistband. And if it does, boob tape to the leg + built-in thongs are the new “rock bottom” of the fashion world. So awesome.
I’m NOT unemployed (anymore), and I can’t stop trying to figure this dress out either. If someone walks by too quickly and creates the slightest breeze, she’s going to give everyone a show.
I am very curious about what it looks like from the front/rear. And in motion. How exactly does one keep her lady bits covered in that? And how does one sit down? Presumably she had to sit down at some point, right?? Like Annie, I am also spending way too much time thinking about the mechanics of it.
Terrible colour.
Holy moly…this is scary! She could leave so much to the imagination…just like the models at the tory burch fashion show in my most recent post!

Less IS more!
She looks like a giant skid mark.
She’s one of the nicer girls on TOWIE, which makes it so sad to see her out in THAT. She’s normally faar classier, but that just looks cheap and desperate.
I can’t get past the tan and the slap to critique anything else. She reminds me of an overbaked croissant. Someone left her in the oven too long, poor thing
Google images of “Lauren Pope twilight premier” is a gold mine. She appears to be holding her crotch in many pictures. Everyone behind the barriers is dressed like they are in Antarctica, including the woman in a hijab with her hands over her eyes.
We NEED to see it from the front, if only to see the full arm on her left side!
She does at least have the good grace to look a bit fed up in this picture, though. Perhaps it wasn’t her idea.
Wait….nope. Even I can’t give the benefit of the doubt to someone wearing that much fake tan in Britain in November.
Oh.my.goodness
Wow. Now that is an outfit. And you should definitely check out TOWIE…it’s trashtastically wonderful!
she looks like a chula boy with a boob job
Is it me, or is this dress the living embodiment of the Showgirls poster?
She seriously needs to lay off the bronzer/self-tanner.
