Has Leonardo DiCaprio A-listed the boobs and the legsly right out of Boobs Legsly (and thus officially verbed the term “A-List”)?
Okay, no, the boobs are still there, but we can’t even see their Prime Meridian, and there’s only about an inch or two to spare above the kneecap. Dearest Leo, why did you have to go and make her all respectable? Don’t you know we NEVER want people to listen to us, no matter how hard we clutch our pearls? Whatever will we whine and flail about when everybody in the world dresses sensibly? The price of gas? Our debt rating? Alex Smith under center again for the once-great 49ers? Surely, Leo, you don’t expect us to go and grow up and talk about actual issues. No. FIX IT, SIR.
Actually, though, I’m still not sold on this, on its own or with the shoes — she looks more Actress of a Certain Age Gets Arc On Gossip Girl That Involves Making Out With Chace Crawford, instead of Young Actress On Gossip Girl Who Made Out With Him First. It actually also reminds me of the Blake of Yore who would get stuff custom-made that still somehow didn’t fit properly. Because something here is just… off.

Shoes are great … dress is a bad fit and a questionable color … everyone knows there’s a reason why orange clothing is ALWAYS on the clearance rack.
Snooze!!!! I never thought I’d find orange leather boring, but htis really is.
This dress is not cut right for her figure. It’s as if she bought it off the rack without trying it on. If she did buy it off the rack (doubt that) and if she did try it on, then it needed to be tailored/altered better.
There needs to be more width at the hips; the waist needs to be lowered; the hem should be higher, or, if left at its current length, then more tapered; and her shoulders need more room. The color I don’t mind so much. Love the shoes with this dress though.
I think she looks fine – and wouldn’t we all be complaining even more if she brought out the Girls (either set) for the TEEN Choice Awards?
I really like the color, but the fit of the dress is off. Too tight in the hips and abdomen area.
I’d be willing to let this go even though it’s too matronly for her and the shoes really don’t work with it if it just fit correctly. It doesn’t and that’s very irritating. I’m now back to wondering if some super villain zapped all the tailors in Hollywood out of existence or into a parallel universe or something. Rich people have no excuse for wearing clothes that don’t fit.
I like the dress quite a lot (and she’s got that hair to go with ti), but it does seem to be pulling weird all over her midsection.
It’s not the right size. It’s just slightly too small.
Reminds me too much of a Barbie outfit.
way too tight. Go up a size!
Thank you for sharing my outrage regarding the Smith situation. I mean, WTF?! I know the 9ers signed him for like $3 or whatever, but the dude cannot hack it. I feel bad for him too, but can we just move on?! He went to college, let him find his calling, cause its clearly not football.
Outfit, just okay.
It definitely doesn’t fit her– it looks tight across the hips and almost saggy in the midsection. The color is actually pretty awesome, but I don’t think it’s the best color for her. The shoes are also cool, but I don’t like them with this dress.
I love those shoes not with this dress though. And the dress is “fine” but nothing special. After reading the comments, I looked at the midsection again and it IS wonky, needs to fit better.
I usually hate 99% of leather dresses because theynever get the fit right! Ugh. It looks stretched across her boobs. If this were a mini skirt with a cute top I’d be all over it. But what IS it with leather dresses?! Just no.
Yeah, not the most flattering fit. I don’t think it’s too old for her or “matronly” — since, really, that’s sort of depends on where on the “hot young babe – scatty old bag” continuum you are when you look — but I do think it’s a poor fit. I like the color (big concession because I tend to hate orange in clothing or wall colors) but I don’t think it flatters her much.
On the whole, it’s almost there as a sort of relief from the usual fug she puts out, like she’s setting us up for something that will cause much wailing and gnashing of teeth on keyboards. It’s just a couple degrees off, just not quite as good as it could be.
Really, I could be quite happy if she turned out a couple of snoozy, no-pearls-clutched outfits as long as they fit and flattered.
she looks like a real housewife hootchie mama. orange leather dress and leopard pumps? she is 20, no 50. terribleterrible choice.
I think, the dress is a tiny bit too tight. Other than that it’s all great: she’s one of those rare gals who can pull off bright orange, and the shoes are awesome.
I really like it, though it may be a hint too tight. I do wish she had worn a cool pair of sandals with this though; I do not like those shoes at all.
The entire ensemble would better suit a retiree named Vera who frequents Reno casinos, wears Tangee® lipstick, “rouge,” and leaves a cloud of Marlboro® smoke and Tabu® in her wake.
This looks like something Pam Anderson would be praised for wearing to a funeral.
It’s leather, so you can’t make that fit properly, and it’s flippin’ August, so what can she be thinking? If this was linen, in any color, she’d rival the Duchess of Cambridge. The shoes, however, belong on the floor in the back of Grandma’s closet.
At first glance I hated it, but your photo is much better. The color sort of works on her, but I still think the fabric makes it look really cheap. What is it, pleather? Rubber? DNW.
I think ‘ole Boobsy here is trying to distract us from discussing the age gap between her and Leo. That’s why she’s trying to show how mature she is by dressing like his mother. If his mother was a hoochie with a penchant for wearing too tight ORANGE LEATHER dresses in August.
I think that this would be beautiful as a jcrew dress in a light, high-quality wool, possibly in a slightly more sorbet orange. The basic idea seems good, and really, what do I know, but it seems hard to make a dress that should be an effortless sheath in a natural fiber look great in orange leather. Also, the styling’s off–the earrings don’t go with the shoes don’t go with the bracelets don’t go with the dress don’t go with the hairdo. I mean, it’s not ghastly, but as long as we’re looking closely….it could be better.
Yellow-Orange Crayola doesn’t do much for her skintone at all, though at least her hair is a decent shade again. The dress is too tight across her bust, but it also looks like her waist has vanished, which is weird because her curves are kind of self-evident. I wonder how long before the pregnancy rumors start.
She looks awful, and it doesn’t fit her at all – her body looks weird.
I think the lighting makes the colours look off, because I think she’s got a good complexion for orange. I do really think she looks good, even if she might be going down Hayden Pantywaist Lane and be trying to look older so it doesn’t looks so weird when she’s with Leo.
Why is she going around dressed up as Patricia Wettig? For hell’s sake, girl! There’s plenty of time to dress middle-aged when you ARE middle-aged.
Are those leopard-skin shoes?
Ahahahahahahahaha!
Last time I saw a pair of those was in the street walker section of DC.
She looks like a Real Housewife. :/
I think the top half fits her fine, the bottom half doesn’t. She is sort of a mix between curvy and athletic, probably should have just gone up a size and then maybe had the waist taken in…but the way it pulls across her hips isn’t flattering
I think the problem lies with her foundation garments. Her boobs are hiked up almost to her chin. No wonder the bodice looks too tight; it’s not expecting them there!
It’s just too tight, otherwise i like it.
What seems off to me is her hair…maybe it’s the lighting or reflecting off the dress but her hair looks sort of orangey at the roots, then there’s not much color in her face, it’s all so monochromatic and washed out. Not a good shade for her. Orange is so tricky.
Blakely may be “A list adjacent,” but only because she’s fulfilling her end of a PR contract. She’s kind of like a low-rent, much less talented Katie Holmes.
I have no idea why Anna Wintour loves her so much. I’ve seen better looking and better dressed girls at the local Bandera.
It’s a really fantastic color, but her catalogue poses just kill it.
It’s the damn stockings. She’s wearing stockings, is she not??? GROSS!!!
I would’ve liked it but something about that color makes me just want to put that dress in my mouth. So yes, I feel your mixed bag and I raise you a Lifesaver.
come on…how did u manage to find the only photo the dress looks NOT perfect??:)).she looks beautiful.
it’s not doing her saddlebags any favors.
I think she looks great! I don’t like the earrings, but everything else gets a FAB from me!
If you’re going to wear a mature dress, you have to dress the rest of you to kill. This… isn’t. The shoes are aging (’cause sorry, but you have to be careful or animal print easily veers toward “women of a certain age”), plus the matchy-matchy jewelry AND nail color? Dynasty, next gen. You’re also right that the fit is off. As much as people rave about Lively’s figure, and as lovely as she looks whatever her problems are, she’s always had trouble spots that don’t make her quite the clothing model the industry is trying so hard to make her into. The girl doesn’t have a tiny waist–never has, and still doesn’t even though she lost weight training for the Green Lantern. Add that to the fact that this dress is too small in the hips and it’s not the look I would have chosen.
No good. We don’t need all boobs and legs all the time, but we could use a little more interesting.
She looks very… orange. It’s not the worst look I’ve ever seen, but Blake has the potential to look amazing when she plays up her best assets. This cut of the dress is way too matronly and unflattering, and colour makes her tan look orange.
Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed.
What’s the issue? She makes a lovely Creamsicle.
I love Blake Lively. But this just feels like Christina Hendricks meets Nickelodeon.
Maybe she got tired of dressing like Britney’s younger, better looking, sister. I like the dress, but then I’m old enough to be her mom. The shoes are heinous.
It makes her look bigger and the shoes are not cool.
