Oscar Post-Party Fugshion: Bryce Dallas Howard



[Photo courtesy of Daily Celeb.]

Cute girl; hugely unflattering flamenco dress. It makes a crater out of her belly-button. And are those a bunch of loose threads or something, glowing amid all the ruffles? Ten bucks to whoever pulls them just to see what happens.

    Wow, somebody’s got the PMS bloat, y’all. Or is she pregnant?

  2. steph

    that pointy arrow bit in center front of the dress… all that’s missing below that is the words “i’m with stoopid.”

  3. dp2.0

    Hunter green… so 80s… this seems to be a combination of the “underwear as outerwear” look, and the already tired phenomenon of “shower curtain chic”. Hollywood must be on some crusade to boycott tailor shops as well… I haven’t seen so many ill-fitting outfits in a long time.

  4. dp2.0

    Actually, now that I look again, this dress looks like something that you’d find in Walmart, if they sold discount second-hand prom dresses.

    Hey, who’s this other STEPH? Anyway, ooh, she could not have picked a worse dress for her womanly figure! It’s great that she actually looks like a normal woman and not a clothes hanger, but damn, there are middle grounds, you know? Now I gotta go and investigate my doppleganger…

  6. e

    So not flattering. The hair’s all wrong for that dress.

  7. smitty

    sorta reminds me of dolly parton in best little whorehouse.

  9. Snarky Snark

    Um, the way she is posing kinda reminds me of Keri Strug. Zoiks!

    she is adorable, and its refreshing to see an actress that isnt teetering on the brink of death because she weighs 75 pounds. but this dress makes her look like the Toxic Avenger or something.

  11. BG

    I think, through Bryce, the Amish have found their answer to the V-neck. Also, repeat after me — satin pulled taughtly against the tummy? Is not our friend. At least it puts to rest the burning question on everyone’s minds: Bryce is an “inny”.

  12. Frankie

    I will say that the colour of the gouwn, whether it is 80′s or not (as the style of the dress appears to be 80′s), it looks great with her hair colour (perhaps not the hair style). It just unfortunatly looks as though she put the dress on hold for a while, then upon purchasing it and sliding into it, finds out that it is a wee bit small as she seems to be an actress that (I applaud her for this) actually eats real food, not that nutty macrobiotic or whatever crap.

  13. ninaberries

    i don’t know why fashion is not taken more seriously. this dress is a feat of engineering. how does that spaghetti strap hold up the weight of all those ruffles? how do the seams withstand the pressure they are quite obviously undergoing? and the biggest scientific wonder: how does she get into that thing? through a meat grinder?

  14. Esther

    What is it with all the horrible prom dresses lately? Did DEB’s have a clearance sale?

  15. pinder

    pot’s are hot

  16. peppertree

    I appreciate and applaud her womanly figure but the dress is all wrong. And that little point at the top makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

  17. runnerwoman

    I don’t know if it’s just my monitor, but she appears to have neon green eyelids. Poor thing, is she jaundiced? Perhaps someone should run a blood test to check her liver function.

  18. Elaine

    Good golly. THAT is an unflattering dress.

  19. eftsoons

    That dress is VERY pretty (I’d totally wear it), but it desperately needs to be hemmed and she needs to do her hair. And for the love of anybody WTF is up with that triangle on her neckline?? Is it a bit of the lining that wanted to have its picture taken too? How embarrassing.

  20. deenie

    Horrible dress, yes, but she’s eating, thank god almighty- a starlet who eats.

  21. akadrenalinegirl

    what are the wierd white things around the flounces (ruffles?)? Did she step on a chicken or are the hems coming out?

  22. Doug

    Okay, dress bad, noted. What about the face? Is she sporting clown paint? Just needs a fake nose.

  23. Heather

    As bad as that dress is, I can’t help but laugh at the arrow pointing to where her cleavage should be. Mercy.

  24. can't pick a name

    the bottom of the dress seems to be comming around and trying to grab her. Maybe the pointy part is also trying to attack her.
    Help her someone — it’s actually an anaconda trying to smother her —
    Oh gee it’s up to my knee– oh fiddle it’s up to my middle– oh, heck it’s up to my neck!

  25. JupiterPluvius

    Another bad 80s bridesmaid’s dress?!? WTF?

  26. dimestore lipstick

    Okay, I’ve seen enough pictures from that VF party to be sure of a couple of things:

    1. The lighting was awful at the photo spots, and

    2. The photographers were worse than their lights.

    It will be interesting to see which, if any, of these pics will grace the spread in VF.

  27. t_man sam

    PLATYPUS !

  28. orangepopsicle

    Girls, please remember…if you’re going to a function that requires spaghetti straps, either stay out of the sun or go out topless. There’s nothing worse than a farmer’s tan (or burn, in this case) with a spaghetti strap dress.

  29. vickie

    Is she wearing Batgirl’s first formal dress?

  30. Yoda's Muffin

    It’s like she’s blind and just stepped into the modern world.

  31. cicelyfairfield

    bryce, satin is NO ONE’S friend, and front gathered skirts? bitches, all of them, and flouncy ruffles will steal your boyfriend and tell your mom about your vibrator. you’re better than them bryce. YOUR daddy loves you.

  32. Elizabeth

    um…..

    no.

  33. Jay

    Thirty pounds of hips in a twenty pound bag.

  34. t_man sam

    The POSE, the GLEE, the smile, and the CHARM!

    Ms.Howard is broadcasting to the world…..

    “Hello, I am the new spokesman for SUMMERS EVE DISPOSABLE DOUCHE!”

    “I feel fresher than a summer daisy, and smell better than Lindsay Lo’s Long Island Iced Chicken Wings!”

    Summers Eve…. -Our new slogan- “They’re disposable! Because what the fug else are you going to do with them!”

  35. Ophelia Paine

    O-M-G. So cute. So hurting the eyes. She needs to fire her dresser, immediately.

  36. pierre etoile

    Bryce Dallas Howard? Is that really her name? Sounds like a round trip on Southwestern.

  37. Kitten

    The EYESHADOW! The SATIN! In fact, there isn’t a bit of this outfit that works, which is a damn shame as she is indeed a v. attractive woman.

    Perhaps her Stylist is just jealous of Ms Howard’s curves?

  38. borborygmus

    Ok, ok, bad dress, yadda yadda. But I’m going to remember this photo 1-2 yrs hence when she’s all tanorexic, stylish, and polished to a T, and I’m going to have a big o’ pang of regret for innocence lost.

    But damn, they’re called MIRRORS, people… Isn’t there one celeb out there who owns one?

  39. Texasexile

    Aw hell no! She has bellybutton toe. Tsk Tsk. Girl, ask Daddy Opie to kick you down with some $ so you can hire a stylist.

  40. lucky

    did she steal anjelica huston’s dress and rip the shelves off?

    http://luckycrackers.blogspot.com/

  41. beetster

    All she had to do was:

    1. Go back to the store and get the same dress one size up

    2. Take a seam ripper and take off all the ruffles

    3. Fold that arrow down into her cleavage and iron it.

    Or she could have just gone to Filene’s Basement and found a better dress.

  42. JupiterPluvius

    This is Ron Howard’s daughter? Maybe she needs to invest in an actual mirror instead of using her father’s shiny pate.

  43. Komeda

    She has such a nice figure. Why did you have to go there, Bryce?

  44. Grant

    Umm…Well…Yeah. She’s not that great of a dresser, and I thought she was horrid in “The Village”, and apparently now she gets to be Queen Mary, in the upcoming movie, “Mary Queen of Scots”. So, so very sad. But hey, at least she’s basing her career off her Dad, instead of off her back! *Cough Sophia Coppola Cough*

  45. Davetta

    You said: And are those a bunch of loose threads or something, glowing amid all the ruffles?

    I said: I think they’re shower curtain rings. :D

  46. Ngakaari

    I actually think she looks nice and it’s a pretty dress and she has a lovely smile, you guys should really test your eyesite before judging because you have seemed to have gotten it wrong recently.

  47. Peacebang

    Grant, are you insinuating that someone would actually sleep with Sofia Coppola? Aside from Gigantron-Head Quentin Tarantino?

  48. Texasexile

    “I actually think she looks nice and it’s a pretty dress and she has a lovely smile, you guys should really test your eyesite before judging because you have seemed to have gotten it wrong recently.”

    Oh, Ngakaari. It is evidently, you who are missing the mark. Are you lost, honey?

    Do you think this is blog caters to the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon or Lisa Whelchel set?

    I am sure this sort of dress flies out of the Dress Barn at an alarming rate (I am thinking that you would know more about that than most of us). However, there is no way that a wealthy starlet should appear on the red carpet in such an ill fitting and ugly dress. Which is why we are here. Get it? Now off you go.

    I LOVES me the Dolly but y’all nailed it.

    Damn, that Opie makes a horrible cross-dresser!! Did he lose a drunken bet with Russell Crowe or something? Never drink with the Aussies, Mr Happy Days, they’ll put you in the ground. Oh, wait-this is Richie Cunningham’s daughter??? Yikes. I would say she didn’t get her dad’s sense of style-but I guess maybe she did.
