Vanessa Hudgens in Marchesa and Jimmy Choo shoes and bag.
The story behind this dress was that it was a cocktail dress but Vanessa asked them to lengthen it. First of all, it wasn't that cute a cocktail dress. The striped ribbon detail is okay and all, but what about the feathered flowers pasted to her chest? So then VHud takes a mediocre cocktail dress and lengthens it by adding yards of tulle to the bottom. Kinda lazy of the Marchesa folks, no? It's a very obvious afterthought.Grade: F
Halle Berry also in Marchesa.
I think the Marchesa folks actually meant to make this dress the way they did, which made for a much better look. The dress is pretty and fine, kinda boring, I'm just heartbroken that it makes her chest look nonexistant. This is Halle Berry. Her ladies are world renowned. No dress should do that to her. Grade: C
Melissa George in Dolce & Gabbana.
Melissa George took her poufy mermaid bottom to a whole other level. As much as this dress was panned, I think I like it. It's dramatic, and it's Melissa George, someone no one actually cares about (Why did they even bring her on Grey's again?), so it's a smart move to wear something a little out there so people know you're not Anne Hathaway's purse holder. And if that was why she did this dress, I can't say that I blame her. I wouldn't want people shoving their clutches at me while they do interviews and take photos. That would suck.
Grade: B-
I bet Sheryl Crow was really embarassed at the Vanity Fair party when she saw what Melissa George was wearing. They're like twins. Except one twin was older and more weathered and didn't pull of her dress as well. I'll let you figure out which one Sheryl Crow is.
Grade: C-
Beyonce in House of Dereon.
And by far the worst of the little mermaids was Beyonce in this black and gold jacquard number from her clothing line. Her hair is SO severe and the girl actively refuses to follow any convention on dressing for a curvy body shape. Beyonce is fit and slender. I would never call her overweight, but she has to admit she has large thighs and hips. It's fine, her body is gorgeous. But there are certain things you don't wear when you have large thighs and hips, like a tightly fitted mermaid dress, or a unitard. It's like she's refusing to listen and wants to prove she too of the large legs can wear these things. Sorry, B, you really can't. Grade: F
