6 photos in galleryThe bad news is, Vampire Diaries doesn’t come back until October. The good news is, that’s because the CW wants to minimize reruns and/or off weeks, so once it DOES come back we can mainline it. That doesn’t answer the question of how we feel about this outfit, but at least I feel like we all worked through some TV angst together and found a silver lining. For the clothes, well, let’s take to the slides for a more thorough examination. I think I like this? I do not know why I am unable to commit just yet? And why am I uptalking? But I will note with certainty: I am in some serious unrequited love with those shoes — and I say “unrequited” because if they felt the same way, they would cost $99 and be available on Zappos.

I love a teal and gold combination. Not sure if I’m fully on board with the shape of the dress.
“The shoes!”
Yes!!!
I like the dress! I just don’t really like her hair. It’s like she got it done and then took a yoga class and decided not to bother about the baby hairs sticking out and the stringy ends.
I was thinking that the dress is so sophisticated and she looks so beautiful. Except for her hair! It’s so twee and Heidi-esque; definitely not a match for that dress and the rest of her styling.
What the hell size is that guy? I know the girls are wearing really tall heels, but Nina Dobrev is like 5’6″ or something. It’s not like she’s up there at Nicole Kidman altitude. I love the dress except for the slit. It just looks awkward. She and the dress are far too pretty for that.
According to IMDB, he’s 5’2″.
Not much to say…. because even when it’s not a win for Nina it’s a “better than most anyone else her age”…… She is the epitome of the girl wearing the dress and not the other way around.
I just love the color. I think it’s one of those universally flattering shades. Don’t really care for the slit.
She is stupid pretty. Unfair lol. But I like her and for the most part even when it’s not good, it’s still not TERRIBLE. I think she looks nice. I think maybe she’s self conscious about the slit? Like her mind is half worried she’s going to flash someone haha.
If I were wearing that dress my problem would be how one side sticks way out compared to the other (see photo 5). I think she looks great but looks better with a side part. She somehow doesn’t look herself with a central part.
LOVE the dress… I love the teal color, the cut, the fit, the length & how FABULOUS it looks on her! Plus, it makes her boobs look ah-mazing! The shoes are AWESOME as well! The hair & makeup are way too simple for such a sculptural dress, so it kind of makes her look overdressed for the occasion! Overall, it’s a FAB!
I like Nina and everything she wears looks great on her because she’s a hanger with a head! But, it drives me crazy that I’m not a size 2 anymore & could never pull that off!
1) She *always* stands at a hard angle when posing for pictures. It’s her thing. 2) The dress looks great on her. 3) The shoes. Are. Fab.
I need those shoes in my life IMMEDIATELY if not sooner.
Yes she looks great, the girl looks fantastic in everything, gorgeous colour etc… BUT THE SHOES. They are sheer perfection. I can’t even take notice of anything else. They’re even outshining Smoulderholder.
I love Nina Dobrev and think she’s gorgeous. I can’t remember the last time she failed to look utterly swell. So it pains me a little to say that I don’t like this dress. The bodice part is A-OK, but the skirt…I suspect she was thinking it made her hips look wide or widely asymmetrical. And she was right, sadly. She has an amazing body, so any funkiness is definitely the dress’s fault.
In conclusion, love her but don’t love her dress. But I like that she went a little funky…just wasn’t funky in a flattering way. The shoes are tremendous and I think the hair is sweet and lovely and I’m so glad she did something different with it.
Agree. The dress made her look too hippy. The color was amazing on her, but the cut did nothing for her hips.
As voixsynthetique said, she’s always standing at an angle, which is kind of weird because she’s slim enough that the angle can make her look scary thin. Now that I’ve noticed her doing it, it annoys me from the first picture.
She does always look gorgeous, though. C’mon October!
The color is nice, but I can’t get excited about the dress at all. I give it a resounding ‘Fine’.
Right when I thought I knew that Slide 6 was going to be a photo of her and Ian snuggling, with a “Whoops! How did this get in here?”, you surprised me Heather. Bahaha. That photo is hilar.
Something about the skirt seems unfinished, and oddly structured, like they forgot to iron the seams after sewing the pieces together. The shoes I love, the hair I also love.
THE SHOES.
I was meant to say something more, but I don’t remember what that was.
THE SHOES.
Something about the proportions are just a little off for her. It’s a cute dress, but it either needs to be a little longer or a little higher. Maybe b/c she has kind of a long neck? (And I say that with the experience of a lifetime of choosing my necklines carefully, b/c of my own long neck.) It almost seems like she went w/ a size 2 Petite, when she really needs 2 tall.
The color is awesome, though, as are, of course, the SHOES.
This dress leaves me cold. It’s pretty much Prom, with a side of Pannier (literally) and makes her hips look as though they were imported from a different, much wider body — you know, mine, for instance.
I really not feeling the cut of the dress.
So, Kevin Hart is his name. I have no idea who he is or what he does but he is hot. Short and hot.
