I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I prefer my Eva Green to look, as she often used to, like a lunatic, sex-starved, consumptive vampiress than….well, this:
BLAAAAAAH. This woman is not particularly interested in draining the blood of the innocent, or interrupting the sleep of the just, or disturbing the dinner of the holy, or stealing the mail of the virgins, or trimming the bangs of the uptight, or anything even REMOTELY sexy and vampiric. And ergo, I have no use for her.
But surely, this can be fixed, no? We can re-interestify her, yes? I’m confident this unfortunate choice is not beyond the powers of the GFY Nation. Work your magic — nicely, as usual — in the comments, please!
Comments (143):
such a simple fix! Lose the scarf, make it sleevless and hike up the hem a few inches. The shoes might be able to stay, but I’d prefer something less intense and that shows more foot, and maybe in a fun color – like a bright turquoise or blue
She needs to go back to her darker hair colour first off.
She needs a protein shake and to dump the henna rinse. She’s looking too much like Phoebe Price’s Belgian nun cousin.
She doesn’t have the crazy eyes going for her like she normally does. I actually think this is cute, but she would look creepier with darker hair, maybe?
Different shoes? She doesn’t look BAD, just OFF.
This isn’t too bad, really. I like the dress, but I think it would be more attractive with her coloring if it was a rich royal blue color. Maybe make the sleeves short, too. And those shoes have to go; they aren’t doing her any favors. I would also tone down the lips some.
First she should ditch the scarf.
Definitely different shoes, those things are awful! Or maybe changing the color or something…all that dark is a little overwhelming.
It’s not that terrible. She should definitely lose the tie, and the ribbony thing around her waist – maybe a belt instead? It could be shorter, and probably the sleeves should be shorter or gone.
I really agree with lala that the hair color is one of the biggest problems. Dark and up, with either better shoes or no scarf and she’d look like her normal creepy, sexy self.
As a pale girl, I totally know the dangers of suddenly looking down and realizing that even though they didn’t look so freakishly white when you left the house, you now have zombie legs. My vote is for a nice bright blue or green to keep her from looking like the undead. Also, I have more issues with the lipstick than with the hair. Something a little more subtle would help a lot.
ANYTHING that doesn’t look so F Carrière
1) Lose the scarf.
2) Do something… ANYTHING with the hair. It makes me sad.
3) I hate her shoes, but I realize they’re the kind of style everyone is falling all over themselves (sometimes literally) to wear these days, so I’ll suck it up.
4) Shorten the sleeves.
5) If she’s going to wear a dress the color of smog, she should soften the lipstick color.
The lipstick and hair color are clashing horribly, which totally distracts from the blah-ness of the dress, which is a boring color, a boring length and a boring style.
I honestly don’t think this can be fixed – she needs to scrap it all and go find some flocked velvet and black eyeliner.
Less color on the hair (wow, that red rinse is horrifying on her) and more color in the wardrobe. Why not embrace the pale skin/dark hair Mysterious Pale Lady thing?
And, in general, avoid dresses which give the impression that you just came from an exhausting pre-concert rehearsal with the high school choir.
She looks like Kimmy Gibbler!
She needs to cut her hair badly, get some better make up, cut the sleeves off this thing, lose the neck tie scarf… thing, get rid of the tights and maybe change the color to something just slightly less boring than blargghhhh gray. Which is the technical name for this shade.
Brigitte – She’s not WEARING TIGHTS. The color is just so awful that is LOOKS like she is. I agree on the green or blue suggestion. Anything to make her legs look less pasty.
I really have zero desire to see this looking better per-se, I love the Interview With A Vampire thing she had going, as terribly creeptastic as it was, it was way more interesting than this dowdy despondent-ninth-grader look. I think lose the sleeves, take it all the way to the floor, lose that dreadful scarf and slap some ‘bride of frankenstein’ on that reddish, unbrushed mop currrently residing on her head…and maybe add some ridiculous covered buttons or something equally 1800s France? I like her better when she looks like Helena B Carter’s long lost vampiric twin
The color of the dress is awful on her. That’s the first thing. Then her lipstick color is bad on her AND looks bad with the dress. I think that is the main problem: hair, skin, lips, dress all out of step color-wise. If the dress were a different color (coppery brown? or bronze, maybe?) and the neck scarf bit was gone or tied further down at the bottom of the V, it wouldn’t be too bad. But it might end up looking mother-of the-bride-ish with those changes. Also, I’m kind of over that shoe style. I hate that styles burn hot and flame out so quickly anymore. People just beat stuff to death, don’t they?
1) Remove the tie, replace with awesome necklace
2) Shorten the sleeves or make it sleeveless
3) Shorten the skirt by removing the extra ruffle.
4) Put hair up or pull back with decorative something
5) ditch the grey leggings
6) Soften the makeup (more neutral lip color at least)
First lose the scarf. It’s killing the line of the dress. And you can’t really see the details of the dress thanks to the scarf, but I have a feeling I’d lose the sleeves too, they’re a little much. And darken up that hair! She needs a solid dark brown- red does her no favors, and it’s making her lipstick look all wrong. She’s a gorgeous girl, this is just a great example of how the wrong color can wreck everything.
DARKER HAIR DARKER HAIR DARKER HAIR!!
First ditch that dark red lipstick. It does not work with her complexion/coloring at ALL. Second get rid of the tie. Those two things would fix it, but to make it even better put on a strappy heel, pull back her hair, and make the dress a less drab color (dark blue would be nice).
Well if we REALLY want to make her look more like a vampire.
Slick the hair back into a model-esque high pony.
Shorten the dress by a few inches, and make it a slightly darker or less dull gray color.
MORE MASCARA!
I agree that the lipstick color is more of an issue than anything else. She is wearing a red lipstick with orange undertones – a very hard color for most people to pull off – most people look better wearing a red with blue undertones. Also, it would help if the dress were a more vibrant color – someone above suggested blue, which I think would look great, if she also changes the lipstick. I hate the shoes, too, but they aren’t the biggest problem here.
As someone already mentioned the lipstick and hair color clash something awful. I’d say go back to dark hair, a little softer lipstick (though the red would be ok if her hair was a dark brown/black), short sleeves or no sleeves, no scarf, more delicate shoes. I think the color of the dress could be better, but it’s not the worse thing going on here.
The color of the dress is terrible on her, but that aside…
The dress has a 40s style thing going on, and if she’d followed through with the retro theme (and maybe lost the scarf-y thing) in her hair, makeup, and shoes, it might have been elegantly reserved instead of frumpy.
She might even be able to keep the shoes if her hair was done in an awesome 40s style, and her makeup didn’t look like a 10-year old playing dressup.
OMG. The lipstick, the lipstick, the LIPSTICK!
I can’t even consider the rest until that horrific lipstick is gone.
Except the shoes. They too need to go.
1). Take the blasted lipstick off and replace it with something natural.
2). Go back to dark hair, then put it in a high, but loose ponytail.
3). Take the scarf off.
4). Make it cap-sleeved.
5).Put on some stiletto’s in a fierce red.
6). Then ROCK IT OUT!
She’s such a beautiful woman, that can normally carry even the scariest outfits for her! The first priority, then, has GOT to be darkening her hair and fixing the makeup. Her usual dramatic eyes are flattering, she should stick with them, and the lipstick needs to step a few shades farther away from orange. Then she’ll at least get a “what a beautiful girl, but what is she wearing?” That’s somewhere to start!
What has she done to her hair? Normally she has beautiful dark hair and blue eyes… love that combo! I can’t even see her outfit because the hair is so bad! Also, that lipstick is terrible.
The dress in a burgundy, the hair without it, and lose the gladiators for a satin pump.
Also, WHY can’t I take my eyes off her NOSE?! It looks like it’s been Virginia Woolfed.
Since you’re requesting goth-iness:
Make the dress black. Take off the sleeves and make it a halter. Make the scarf red.
Shoes are fine. Hair pulled back.
Is it me or does she look a little like Juliette Lewis?
She needs to sex it up.
1. Hair up in a loose updo with tendrils framing her face.
2. Loose the scarf.
3. Lipstick color is waaaayy to harsh; go with something softer and pinker.
4. Those shoes are also too agressive for that outfit. Some peeptoe killer heels would be better.
5. Dress should be sleeveless and and the bodice should fit better and be tighter.
6. This dress needs no flounce; it should be just one solid piece, and the ribbon trim should be a complimentary color rather than matching.
7. She should also accessorize with something, anything.
8. Replace the smirk with a smile.
She looks like Juliette Lewis if Lewis took a shower and brushed her hair.
Cut the hair to above shoulder length to give her more of a neck.
Change the hair color back to dark – lose that awful henna.
I hate the shoes. Something more…subtle if she’s going to wear that smoky color, please. The dress needs something a little strappier and not quite so…stark.
No orange lipstick.
I agree: cap sleeves, shorten to just above knee-length on the dress. And tailor in the waist a little to fit like it’s supposed to. As it is, it looks about a size too big.
1) Hair off the shoulders, even just behind her. The hair color could be OK if it wasn’t making her look like a spaniel.
2) Change the color of the dress. I don’t think it needs to be that vivid (maybe an interesting aquamarine or blue teal?), but the grey isn’t doing anything for her, anywhere.
3) Ditch the scarf. Awesome necklace or not, depending on how much she needs a hamburger. (Between the hair and the scarf, her nice long neck is being reduced to nothing.)
4)Less pronounced lipstick. A deeper red would be fine. This bright rose color, not so much.
5) The tights/leggings need to go.
I am undecided about the shoes. (I don’t “get” designer shoes in any case, they all look uncomfortable to me.) I think these need to be a little “lighter” in build or color.
The dress itself — shape and materials — is kind of fun. It would be fun to dance in.
Definitely soften the lipstick, it’s really ick.
Ditch the scarf
I’d shorten the dress, make it sleeveless or give it really short sleeves, and change the color. Maybe turquoise?
The hair needs to be pulled back so it isn’t all around her shoulders.
Hair up, lose the scarf, cut off the sleeves, replace the skirt with a black pencil skirt. I kind of love the shoes.
jeez, where to start. She just looks scarily bad to me. (not vampirically scary bad, just bad.) I guess either the hair or lipstick first, because neither of them go with her coloring.
There’s something kinda Juliet Lewis about this; don’t know what though…maybe the sort of belligerent ‘f-itness’ of her posture or that they both have tall foreheads, which I hadn’t noticed before…
Anyway, I think to re-vamp things up (pun intended), Eva G needs to return to the darker hair color, change the color of the dress to a more saturated color, lengthen it too and do something more interesting with that neck scarf. I’m not opposed to the scraf necessarily, but it’s kind of limp and meh.
I think the dress is pretty, although I agree with most everyone that it needs to lose the scarf and/or sleeves. Hair and lipstick are awful, shoes are too agressive with this. I notice there’s some weird light hitting her in the face from somewhere off camera, and I suspect that might be part of the problem. I’m guessing the color of her dress (and indeed, maybe the whole look) were much nicer looking in person.
She looks so washed out. Cue the darker hair and new lipstick. And a little color might help her. Some jewel tones. She has such beautiful skin. Play it up with a dark emerald, sapphire or royal purple. Then she is back in the business.
The dress would be fabulous without the scarf and with a dramatic necklace (and some different shoes, GAH I hate those kinds of shoes). She’s so lovely, she really needs to ditch the red hair and 1940s red lipstick.
The lipstick is too harsh, the scarf is too overwhelming and matchy with the dress. The dress has a pretty shape, but I would shorten the sleeves since it’s SUMMER, at least in this hemisphere. The shoes need to go. She needs something more delicate and strappy to go the the flirty shape of the dress. The color isn’t horrible, but a blue, green or even a peacock shade would look much better with the color she’s put on her hair and her pale complexion.
I think she needs to go back to her darker hair color first. Then….raise the hem of the dress a tiny bit…..lose the scarf….change the shoes to something that doesn’t cover her ENTIRE foot (a really sexy stilleto or something)…..maybe pile her hair up in a messy topknot? Then she could work the whole sexy librarian thing….
I like her – she always looks creepy/cool to me!
Lose the scarf. Put the hair up. I actually really like the rest… for a nun, with a thing for killer shoes. So maybe I don’t like the rest. The dress colour is all wrong for her skin tone.
The clunky bondage shoes, the hair color, the quasi-orange lipcolor and the ugly color dress have all got to go. There is no fix for that. She has prodigious tatas that she needs to showcase (tastefully if possible) a little more. Dark hair suits her beautifully and frankly, so do the Anne Rice-inspired outfits. I think a new variation on the vampire look is in order. (Though I thought she looked lovely in the scene in Casino Royale where she is in the bathroom before putting on makeup. There is a very, very pretty girl underneath all that goo.)
Ditch the scarf, ditch the sleeves, burn those god-farking-awful shoes (why are clunky shoes so trendy? They’re horrible!), fire the makeup person who smeared red paint all over her lips and wipe those puckers, put the hair back in a ponytail, add some dangly silver earrings, and there you have it – instant summer sytle goodness.
I agree with the general trend established by the other commenters:
1. lose the scarf;
2. deepen + brighten the color of the dress so that it’s a rich jewel tone;
3. contrasting belt in faux-alligator.
She should ditch the scarf and wear different shoes, but not too different.
I do not like her hair. I think she looks SO much better with dark hair.
The dress doesn’t seem match her personality. She needs Alexander McQueen or John Galliano or at least Prada. This is too much “off the rack” Donna Karan. Get her some crazy details STAT, lace, gauze, giant beads, sequins, and more color.
Come on Eva, we need your undead greatness.
Change out the lipstick to something less radioactive. Maybe change the shoes as well to be less of a statement/distraction.
Definitely lose the weird scarf/tie thing and the sleeve cuffs. And give the dress an actual color.
Voila. Maybe not Eva Green: Orginal Vampiress Flavor, but surely better than this.
Eva doesn’t need anything to look animal-beautiful. Which is why heavy bright lipstick and that ridiculous hair-colour are such a mistake.
This is a glaring example of gilding the lily.
1. better hair color
2. better lip color
3. better dress color
4. lose the tie
5. lose the sleeves
6. improve the shoes
It really doesn’t need that much work: Tie that scarf off to the side and drape over one shoulder instead of down the front, swap out the shoes for something strappy and red that plays up the shade of her lipstick, and give her hair a little “oomph” with the judicious application of a wide-barrel curling iron, just for a little outward movement around the face. If I were being ambitious, I would touch up the color of her eyebrows a little to make them slightly darker, which I think would look more natural and would make her eyes “pop” in a less-threatening manner. Other than that, I totally love the dress and I do like it in that color.
How about a berry lipstick? That would completely change the look for the better.
If you’re going vampy, she needs black hair, otherwise chocolate brown. Maybe with her hair up. Berry lipstick. No scarf thing. Boom, much better!
I actually like that shade of gray on fair skin, but it has to be accessorized properly (and she needs a shade of blush that complements her lipstick – looks like she’s wearing a pink blush with an orangey lipstick – bad!).
Make the dress sleeveless. Lose the scarf thing. Change the color to coral pink or purple or anything other than gray. Change the shoes so they are less clunky. And tone down the lipstick.
Voila!
Go back to the dark brown hair. Softer, less undead looking makeup. I’m actually really in love with the dress-and-scarf and shoes, so…yeah. Done.
I agree with a lot of the suggestions already made:
-lose the scarf
-shorten or lose the sleeves (I think the dress length is fine, though)
-darken the hair, possibly also pull it back or up
-tone down the lipstick
1. Ditch the sleeves.
2. Ditch the scarf.
3. Strappier shoes.
4. Jewel-toned dress.
5. Nude-ish lipstick.
Which is… basically the entire outfit, so I guess my advice is: Start over.
Hey, the woman often wears sleeves, something she should get credit for. I truly wish more women would cover their pits
Less color on the lips. More color on the dress.
That scarf thing is bad. And those lip and hair colors do not go together – one or the other (or, hey, both) needs to change. The rest of it I actually think is mostly fine, even if I personally would never ever wear those shoes.
Get rid of the scarf anf the sleeves and we’re in business. But ditch the lipstick, that shade doesn’t flatter anybody.
I think it’s her hair color. It seems lighter and more reddish than in the other pictures. She could probably rock it if she still had the darker do.
Ooooh fun…
- drop the scarf
- change make up : intense eyes/less color on the lips work better on her
- I like the dress but the color is too neutral. It would be better in a dark but intense color, such as blue or purple. Something that wouldn’t make her legs appear that color
- The color of the dress really doesn’t work with the hair. One of them has to go (I’m not sure about the hair but I’d love to see it with a different makeup).
- LOVE the shoes.
I just figured out who she reminds me of…Nicole Kidman in that movie where she’s made up to look kind of ugly. Regardless, she is still quite beautiful. I wish her hair and makeup weren’t so severe – she’d be prettier if she was a bit more…subtle.
I would agree that little needs to be done because I love the dove grey color of the dress, tho I think she has missed with how she tried to play off it.
I would tie that scarf thingy down the back, put on a pump that pops, like: blue green pink yellow…anything but no toes please! with a matching clutch, and change the lip.
Also anything this retro needs a sheer silk stocking and some assy attitude. It just does. Dita Von Teese would wear the sh*t out of this dress.
While I agree the hair color is wrong, as we saw with poor Rumor Willis, the wrong is compounded by the shape/length combo. Ultimately this dress is wearing her, her makeup is wearing her, and her hair is wearing her. We lose the girl.
Scrape off some of the makeup, raise the sleeves on the dress and lose the scarf.
I’d like to see her in more of a light, strappy sandal in a fun color than whatever the hell those clunky messes are.
hate the scarf, hate the shoes, hate the lipstick, hate long skinny hair next to long skinny faces. there is room for improvement, but you knew that, didn’t you?
Lose the scarf, the shoes, and that lipstick. Shorten (or lengthen) the skirt. Get rid of the sleeves. Put the hair in a sexy updo, tone down the lipstick, put on some strappy, sparkly shoes and some big a$$ earrings.
If Eva pulled me aside at this event shortly before walking onto the red carpet and said “OMG! You have to help me, what can I do with this?” First I’d re-purpose the scarf as a side-tied sash. Hopefully one of us would have something in our bag to pull her hair up into a messy bun at the nape of her neck. Finally I’d wipe off that lipstick, and suggest she try a lip tint with a lip gloss instead.
I also loath the shoes, so much so that I would even consider suggesting she go barefoot instead.
If I had more time, then dying it a dark bottle green would be a step in the right direction.
She looks like Juliette Lewis having a good day. Okay, that’s not really a compliment.
I do like (most of) the dress, though. Take off that lame tie at the neck and change the sleeves somehow so they’re not reminiscent of wearing your dad’s oxford shirt. There’s something interesting going on at the waist that I can’t quite see because of the tie, but I think I like it.
Different shoes — that high style looks good on NO ONE. Just cuts the legs off. Speaking of legs, hers are way too pale for black shoes and a gray dress. Please not those awful neutral color shoes, though …. I like the previous idea of a blue (cobalt?) or other rich/bright color (chartreuse, like that dress in the archives??), as long as the color doesn’t reflect weirdly off her skin.
I’m a fan of lipstick, but a deeper shade would suit her better. And less eyeliner, please. And do something with the hair!
Apart from that, nicely done, Juliette.
She should lose the oddly colored whatever-they-are on her legs (I think they’re those toeless pantyhose that you can wear with sandals except the color is completely wrong for her so her legs don’t match her toes) and the matchy-matchy nail polish and lipstick. Then remove the scarf and go back to a darker hair color and she’s good to go.
At first I was all, “WHAT could fix this? It’s just all so… meh.” Then I realized it has good bones.
1. Make it bright red, almost like her lipstick.
2. Updo, something loose and flowy.
3. Less chunky shoes. Simple, elegant peep-toes maybe.
4. Lose the scarf and go instead for a bold statement necklace.
Otherwise, the style and fit are lovely on her, imo.
I had to consult Mr. Google about Eva Green here and…she’s hot! Why did she wear this outfit? She could probably wear a t-shirt and blue jeans and look exotic. This outfit is sold at Lane Bryant and was created to camouflage back fat and arm flab (I know this people because I frequent the back fat and arm flab boutique).
Someone needs to take about a yard of fabric off of this dress from all angles. I also think her hair should be taken away from her face. ALSO, I don’t like red lipstick on anybody. I’m partial to nude lips and heavy shadow.
She looks like she is using make up, hair, and fabric to camoflage her body from the world. Why?
Oh, dear god, you’re right! Those…AREN’T leggings. Wow.
I’m not sure this one can be saved. If she’ll just stamp my library book so I can have it for another two weeks, then I can be on my way.
I think it’s the top not fitting properly in combination with that god-awful scarf that’s giving me the “meh.” Also, there might be shoulderpads under there. {eek!} Get thee to a tailor, woman!
And I think the lipstick and hair would be okay if the dress were a nice deep dramatic blue. Okay, when I say “okay,” what I mean is, “Better than this, which reminds me of bubblegum on the sidewalk.”
Hair up.
Delicate shoe.
Lose the scarf.
I can’t get beyond the hair. WHAT in the world did she do to herself. Previously, I thought she was beautiful. In this picture she didn’t even look attractive. Someone please fix the hair.
I can’t see past the lipstick and the hair – she needs to change both … as far as the hair, it needs to go back to dark and have some sort of style – up or down, whatever, but it needs a purpose: right now it’s just hanging there, adding nothing (and, in fact, taking away). Lipstick – almost any other color/shade would be better – the orange undertones of that red are doing her no favors. As far as the actual clothing, shorten the hem, shorten the sleeves, add a belt for some structure, remove the scarf thing and put on a less agressive pair of shoes. I actually like the color of the dress – I’m a sucker for grey.
I also agree with the commenter that said she looks like Kimmy Gibbler – that is dead on – ha!
Ditch the thing around her neck, tone down the lipstick, and hide the shoes in the bottom of her trashcan. At least take the cuffs off the sleeves. Make certain her new shoes are something strappy and bright with a dangerous heel. A nice tousled updo for her hair and some really dangly earrings will save the look – oh wait now she has a whole new look.
easy. shorter sleeves-(sleeve-less? ) and lighter, strappier shoes. lose the neck scarf. presto-hot again.
Get rid of the scarf. Change the dress colour to red. Ditch the clunky black shoes for strappy silver ones. Perfect.
Same dress in a shimmery colour. TONE THAT LIPSTICK THE HECK DOWN, and gets some sexy on her feet.
Then, she would be awesome.
Lose the necktie, chop off the sleeves, trim off that strange 4 inch layer of wilted ruffle on the bottom, change the color to a lovely, bright bluish, greenish shade, maybe a cerulean? And for god sakes a pair of strappy heels, please.
1. Cap sleeves
2. Ditch the scarf
3. Make it A COLOR
4. Less fugly shoes.
If you don’t want to make the dress a color then go for some cute heels in, say, burgundy and possibly a similar-toned obi belt to bring some color to the gray which is actually a fairly pretty color, for being gray.
5. Updo. Or SOMETHING. Just don’t let it hang there. That’s like my hair, except I’m not on a red carpet.
6. No coral lipstick. Maybe a nice soft pink.
Lose the scarf, and then we’ll talk. As it is, it’s so disasterous that who knows if the dress is worth saving?
OK, maybe getting rid of the OH, HAI, I’M WEARING TRAFFIC BARREL ORANGE LIPSTICK makeup would be helpful, also. Toned down a bit or at least colors found in nature, please.
I’d like the dress, minus the sad, sad, scarf, for my own, but I’m almost thirty years older than she is, and a substantial bit more… substantial.
I don’t know how, but apparently my mother got to dress her “gothic” for this event. The individual ingredients, as they would be defined, aren’t totally bad, but an overall theme of ‘I don’t know what the hell I’m doing’ has taken the reigns. It’s like if gothy came in a gum flavor, it would be this bland and oddly ill-fitting while still retaining some structure of its intention.
Up the contrast in every way possible: very short or very long dress, not knee length; giant flowy omg sleeves or lightweight super slim fitting ones, not this naff 80s throwback; very dark hair or very crimson hair, not middle school english teacher-red; gothy gladiator shoe or s&m victorian, not this payless looking yawn-city mess. At least she doesn’t look that jazzed with herself–we can probably blame a third party here.
Dear Eva,
Ok, first, lose the creepy lipstick. Something, um, just different would be best. Less orange-y. Then please put your hair up. It looks like you have a graceful, long neck that could add some height to your illusionary frump. And yes, the color of everything is just plain ol’ wrong. And bad. Hair either darker or lighter, please. And dress? Let’s go darker. Actually, let’s just go home and start over entirely, shall we?
Kisses,
pelijenn
PS: And no to the shoes too. Too Clydesdale.
The dress is so yawntastic she could put an insomniac to sleep. Loving the shoes, though.
lose the sleeves, make it spaghetti strap, a tiny bit tighter, sheer black hose, hair up, and a glass of wine so she feels like she has the nerve to smile.
hair back to dark
more eye pencil please
loose the day-glo toes
shorter sleves and no scarf-ee – tie thing
I agree with Sarah Booz–I can’t entirely put my finger on what’s off about this, because while I actually like the dress and would probably wear it (maybe without the scarf and less sleavage), it just doesn’t…work. Although the hair color and overly bright lipstick might have something to do with it, I don’t know.
? hair.
? scarf.
? more appropriate shoes.
? lose bottom ruffle.
? tighten up the fit by a size.
y’know…? I was thinking perhaps she could ditch the dress all together & snatch off Kristen Bell’s black fringey/corset creation & take my stake [good one, btw] sandwich order! If anybody can pull that off it would be Eva, plus she’s already got the shoes
Lose the scarf and ugly shoes, darken up that hair and get rid of the too bright lipstick. She’s fighting the pretty.
I totally thought this was a cleaned up Juliette Lewis.
That dress needs to be a different color. Like a deep rich green. And lose the scarf, and maybe shrink it by like half a size so it actually fits. I’m also not a big fan of the sleeves, but I can handle them if, maybe its cold outside or something, although, I still want to get rid of them.
The shoes, too dark, too severe, too fugly. Get something light and strappy.
The hair, that hair has got to go. Maybe give it a protein treatment, color it so its a little darker, and pull it up or something. Then maybe her makeup wouldn’t look so awful. Her eyes do still look dead, you can get the whole vampire thing there. Brighten those eyes baby!
BANGS, girlfriend! And I know that red is your signature lip color, but perhaps soften it up just once in a while??
And I agree with others – dress should be strapless. And then minus the necktie.
Starting at the top:
- hair, black
- lips, not red (something softer, more natural?)
- scarf, gone
- dress, sleeveless or short/cap sleeves or above the elbow or something
- dress, different color (something that doesn’t look like dead skin)
- shoes, something different (strappier? lighter color?)
Ta da!
She needs to remove the scarfey thing, change the dress colour to black, shorten up the sleeves, and put on some sexy shoes. Those things are an abomination. She then needs to put her hair in a nice up-do, add some dangly earrings, and change the lipstick colour to something that doesn’t clash with the hair (seriously, I didn’t know that was possible before I saw the picture). Finally, if you’re going to go vampire you have to make more of an effort with the eye make up. Remember, a Goth can forget her lipstick, but never her eyeliner. Lots more eyeliner and some black eyeshadow.
take off the weird neck thing, make it a little slinkier, change the color to a deep vibrant red, give her some hot black heels and make the lipstick and fingernails a little less prom queen and slightly more queen of the dead.
I am actually down with the dress itself, exactly as is. She should, however, be wearing sexy pumps, possibly in a metallic.
Other than that the things bothering me most are the red pops of makeup–the nails and toes are incredibly distracting, and now I’m questioning my own manicure. (To be fair I was wearing red yesterday, but now I’m wondering if I should have taken the polish off and/or replaced it with a green or a purple, or even black, for today.) Berry or deep pink lipstick would have been better.
Also, the hair color. I am usually all for people going/staying red, being a redhead myself, but she is NOT rocking it like she did the dark. Also, no matter the color, this would have looked better with an updo and dangly-but-delicate earrings. Actually all the accessories should have been silvery and delicate, shoes included as I mentioned before.
BRING BACK THE VAMPY DARK HAIR, EVA!
Duck into the Ladies Room for the following quick-fixes:
1. Undo scarf, wrap it wide and tight around waist like a little obi/corselet thing.
2.Roll up sleeves, or maybe take a manicure scissors to them and rip them off at mid-forearm length and then roll them.
3. Blot off offending lipstick color replace with a slightly less intense coral to neutral.
After the event go home and get rid of all the grey stuff in your wardrobe – it doesn’t work on you!
The lipstick is so hideously distracting that I can barely focus on whether or not I actually hate the red hair on her, like I think I do. With her normal hair and makeup, the outfit… well, the outfit would barely rate a “meh” from me anyway, but I wouldn’t have _hated_ it, especially if she had dumped the scarf. But the makeup ruins the entire look.
Bad lipstick; bad hair color; great rack so how’s about we lose the scarf?; terrible shoes; too much material on the sleeves, and maybe in the skirtal area; maybe the color’s okay if she goes back to dark instead of that “MEEEEHHHHH” she’s got tied to her head. Eva Green always looks her hottest without a lot going on – less make-up, lower neckline. Let’s do this.
Eva green took my breath away in Casino Royale. Like, seriously, I have never wanted the hair/make-up/wardrobe of a movie more than I did when she walked into the poker room in that AMAZING black dress.
I mean, she should stick to the basics. Her hair should be darker, eyes darker. That lipstick is terrible.
As far as the clothes go. Blacks, reds and purples. Floor length and fitted. She is so crazy beautiful and HOT that she can go basic.
Take a leaf out of Angelina Jolie’s boring book.
BUT, I’m afraid Green might be beyond help. Because I’m pretty sure that dress is too big and has been bought together by safety pins. I’m really hoping it’s just a horrid dress.
1. Go back to the darker hair. And wear it up. And wear some killer earrings.
2. Get some strappier shoes.
3. Seriously, tone down on the makeup. Does anyone else remember that scene in Casino Royale where she was in the bathroom getting reading for the big poker game and she didn’t have all the spackle on and she looked SO GORGEOUS?! She’s a beautiful girl and doesn’t need to wear tons of eyeliner and lipstick to show it.
Darker hair. More volume. Much darker lipstick. Pale foundation with mad contouring to make her cheeks look like caves. Dress colour changed to gunmetal. Neck thing dealt with, it’s covering the dress. Increase the circumference of the blousyness around her wrists. Pencil in the eyebrows. Stitch some tattered netting under her arms à la Morticia.
I’m with everybody. Great ideas. (I always read so late I have nothing new to say.) But here: I just don’t think she can wear this tone of grey, period. Grey is tricky. Look at her poor, washed-out little legs!!!
I like the idea of a berry lipstick for her.
The shoes just don’t work here. I like them, in a way, but not here.
a. i will never ever ever ever like/ think i like/ consider/ wear those shoes. i dont care who tells me they are fashionable. they are liars. so, change the shoes to somethin strappy.
b. change that dress color to something less yawn and something more charming. chartreuse?
c. honey lose that awful hair color, then PUT IT UP.
d. lipstick blotting is your friend.
p.s. I SEE THAT NAIL POLISH. TAKE IT OFF.
the end.
The sleeves for sure need to go, or at least shorten them so that they don’t do that awkward hanging over the cuff because they’re too long.
But my biggest problem is actually the lighting on the red carpet. It’s doing her no favours…and clearly the answer to this is that she needs to become a blockbuster celeb so that she can afford to have her own personal lighting assistant.
1) Above all, change the COLOR of the dress to something like a rich dark blue.
2) Lose the scarf.
3) If those are gray tights, take them off. If those are her actual legs, please see (1) again, quickly!
4) Lift the dull hanging hair, curl it, fluff it up, something!
5) Meditate upon pictures of puppies or something–whatever will change that facial expression of pissy permagloom.
6) The shoe needs to be a softer style, or at least not that harsh black color against a gray leg/stocking.
It’s all about the hair and make-up. With her standard dark hair/dark eyeliner, I can see this working. If that’s some manner of hosiery on her legs, it needs to go. If not, she needs to see the sunlight sometime soon! The dark grey is not my fave, but with darker hair I can see her pulling it off.
First thoughts: Kimmy Gibbler?
The dress has a 1930s vibe to it that needs to be played up.
Loose, faux-bob updo with some tendrils framing the face and neck.
Lacy or Textured stockings.
Deco Mary Janes with Louis heels and covered buttons fastening the straps.
Scarf tied to the back, and long antiquey chain w/ pendant.
Deeper lipstick color and smokier eye.
Not sure how, but she should really do something about that resemblance to Kimmy Gibbler.
ditch the sleeves, toss the neck thing, and smile with your eyes, Eva.
I don’t know – I think she’s keeping up the horror movie trope, but channeling zombies. in which case, this totally works.
That dress looks about half a size to big for her, which combined with the awful color gives her a one way ticket to Dumpy City. I’d make it sleeveless, floor length, and a gorgeous shade of midnight blue to work with her pale skin. And that red hair has to go. Eva, baby, I love you…but that’s not working for you. Not even a little bit.
Not many complaints from me on this one, just maybe hike the hem up an inch or so, and shorten the sleeves a tad. On the whole, I like it.
Okay! A lot to get started on here…
Dear Miss (Mrs?!) Green,
1) Get some heated rollers, apply- ta da! Sex Goddess hair instead of Lonely Divorcee hair.
2) Get thee some clothing dye- I’d go for midnight blue or dark emerald i.e. not sludge.
3) Go crazy with some scissors and lose either the bow or the sleeves. I don’t mind which, but if you keep the bow actually tie it properly so it doesnt resemble a deflated balloon.
4) I wish the bottom were shorter, or had a better shape (like pencil for example- that should be your thing) but it doesn’t. And I could just about live with that if only you could remove those shiny snails trails heading down the front.
5) Better shoes. Oh please please. Your legs are perhaps not your best feature. There is nothing wrong with paleness, but go have a chat with Ms Von Tease and get it done properly, okay? Im thinking heels that are either classic courts or strappier… Or just anyhting that’s not this?
Hope it helps. To be honest you should just go for crazy again next time because its lots more fun than THIS.
I agree with most of the above, to wit: no scarf, shorter/darker hair, and way less makeup. But the one thing no one has mentioned is the ONE thing that absolutely has to change: She’s wearing gray stockings. She has to be wearing gray stockings because human flesh does NOT look that color, regardless of the lighting, unless/until it’s dead. Also, you can see how part of her foot is gray and then the toes are naked, normal, non-dead skin tones.
So as far as I’m concerned, she can leave everything else as it is if she’ll just take off the gray hose. Blecchhhh.
like the shoes and the sleeves. ditch the scarf, make the bodice fit better, burgundy lipstick, dye hair darker and pull it back.
Lose the scarf and sleeves, shorten the skirt 3 inches, add a colorful pendant, and pull up the hair.
Um… Is she wearing pale grey footless tights? Because her legs are WAY more ashy than her pink little toes sticking from her shoes. Eck.
Ahhhhhh, Vesper. MUST you continue to break our hearts?
Listen: pale can be powerful. We’re a minority now, and since we look for all the world as if we drink the blood of the innocent, we may as well OWN THAT. I’m here, I’m austere: Get used to it!
This girl needs to believe in the photosensitive power of her own skin, that’s all. She could:
1. LOSE THE DRESS (give it back to Aunt Mirabelle, or the sponsor of the tea dance from whence it came)
2. Keep the shoes — they are blood-huntress shoes for sure
3. Deepen the shade on the lips and nails: a dark red does more for pale skin that that orangey red ever will
4. Embrace the dark: a black bustier and black leather mini, or something like that, would fit the bill nicely
5. For verisimilitude, add a cape. And VALK AROUND DALKINK LIKE THEEES.
And there you are. Vlad’s your uncle!
I really do like this dress. I also think she’s incredibly gorgeous as a person, so I am also a bit biased in that direction (I have her Montblanc ad on my wall, where she looks like the sexiest Snow White ever). I think her lipstick just got drawn on a little too big– it’s supposed to be voluptuous, but it looks a little cartoonish here– and with the hair it’s a bit harsh. She had such glossy black hair, and now I really miss it. At least let it curl and wave, stylist people, she’s too interesting for a stuff blowout. Ok, last tip: since she and I are in the “no yellow tint whatsoever” pale girls’ club, I would recommend a truer red lipstick, something much more blue-based, and drawn in a shape more honest to her pretty lips. Souriez-moi, Eva, je vous aime!
no sleeves
lose the scarf
completley different shoes – less harsh
tidier hair, it looks puffy and the brown doesnt suit her
get rid of the purplish looking eyeliner
She needs a polished, shiny, glamorous updo as well as sparkling jewelry and different shoes, ANY other shoes frankly, but I envision delicate little satin-y things…
Here’s what I say:
Bring the length down to the floor, lose the shoes and go for some that are brighter, more subtle lipstick, hair in an updo, make the dress strappy and lose the scarf, and then she might not look like a vampire librarian.
I’m sorry, but I don’t think that dress can be saved.
I love the seasons-old Dior Gladiators, too. It’s almost like she took the look (makeup and all) and said “If Carrie Bradshaw can wear this in that damn movie, so can I!”, completely forgetting that Pat Fields is either perfectly on point in her crazy, or wildly off the mark–as in, there is no “feh” with her. So given the two extremes, this is a raunchy bad time, indeed.
Montblanc does Jewelry, so starting there would have been a good idea, instead of the Army Surplus Cocktail Collection…although wait until later in the evening, when her top is askew and the whole party sees her Camo Cami.
Sometimes the best fix is the easiest. If that dress were a bright, happy color, something that complements that luscious hair, she would look great.
Shoes and all.
I don’t know who this person is, but I bet she’s dating Marilyn Manson.
wow.
so that’s what happened to kimmy gibbler…
THIS woman had steamy on screen sex with Daniel Craig? Blasphemy.
It’s Eva Green – of course it can be fixed. Make the dress tighter, and make it above the knees. She also has to lose the shoes – they make the look too busy and not in a good way. I don’t think the hair does her any favours either when she’s wearing that red lipstick.
Why Eva? I agree with the comments about losing the hair color and scarf, but why … why, are your legs gray while your toes are flesh colored. Granted you really don’t want to wear hose with open toed shoes, but why would you chose to make it so obvious by wearing colored hose here?
Does anyone else think she looks like Kimmy from “Full House” in her comeback roll: “Not Without My Loreal Excellence Hair Colour Cream Kit in Red Penny”?
Dear God, where to start….
Darken the hair and get it trimmed, invest in some eyedrops, buy a much softer tone of lippie and ease back on the mascara, eat some lunch, saw off the scarf and sleeves and the Aunt Muriel ruffle and burn them, swap the nail polish for something a tad less irridescent and introduce yourself to a nice, light strappy heel in a metallic or bling.
Or not…
