Get Off My Red Carpet
{Fashion Critique:} Channeling the gods

                     

I have no doubt Emma Stone turned the head of Zeus himself in this lovely Grecian inspired dress by Lanvin. Note to Emma: beware showers of gold. The color is beautiful with her red hair which is carefree but still maintains some control. Her makeup is simple but lovely. I don’t dislike the necklace but I don’t like it either. I love that she chose a longer length necklace but I find this one to be a bit distracting - at least in photographs. The shoes are properly understated to leave the focus on the dress. (And while we’re at it, let’s all cheer they’re not ridiculous platforms. So glad that trend is dying.) What’s not to love? Well, there is one thing. You see it don’t you? That hem. Readers, you know how I feel about improper hemlines. I have tweeted and ranted - nay, twanted - on this so many times! This length is just ridiculous - 3 inches too long. Three! Why do you do this designers? Don’t you want your clothes to look their absolute best? And stylists, what is your deal? Don’t you want your client to look her best? As award season approaches I know this fashion fail will only get worse but I hold out hope that somewhere, a designer and a stylist will give a damn about presentation and not ignore fit. I can dream.
