Trendy
is the last stage before tacky.
Karl
Lagerfeld
Another year of demonstrating that money does not buy
style, that slavishly following the latest trends is not for everyone and that finding
a great fit and colour is still important. But, who listens?
Here are some of our overall comments: Black and pale
pink do not look great together, particularly with black lace. Showing less is
still the classier approach and many dresses looked like they belonged to two
different outfits.
You’ll also note that some dresses feature on both the
best and worst-dressed lists. Among a sea of mediocrity, here are our best
and worst:
Best for Sue: I loved Janelle Monae’s glittery outfit. It
fitted her beautifully, had a hood and lots of glamour.
Best for Geri: Jane Fonda looks gorgeous at 82 in this
beautiful red dress. Even better, she wore it years ago and it looks just as
good now. I love her best with grey hair!
Honorable mentions to America Ferrara who glowed, to
Mindy Kaling who looked gorgeous in yellow, to Sigourney Weaver for a great
colour and shape and to Rene Zellwegger for a beautifully fitted gown, though
we would have preferred another colour to white.
Worst for Sue: Cynthia Evro’s outfit looks like a
wardrobe malfunction is imminent. Why do exposed breasts mean strong or fierce?
Also, the bottom half looks like it used a crinoline to make it wide enough.
Worst for Geri: Rooney Mara’s outfit was wrong in so many
ways, it didn’t fit, had strange cut-outs and feathers?
Other contenders: Kristen Wiig’s strange geometric shapes
reminded me of Lego, Gal Godot looked like she was wearing pieces from two
dresses as did Saoirse Ronan.
Fashion
is a form of such ugliness, so intolerable, that we have to alter it every six
months.
