Some might say that these dresses look like something you’d find in your dead great-grandmothers attic. Something smelling of cat pee and covered in mothballs. If I found one of these Couture gowns (especially the Valentino) in my grandmother’s attic I think I’d die - No, not of grossness, but of fabulousness. Maybe that is how my great-grandmother died?
I am not sure if these gowns are on my favorite dresses of all time list, but they are all stunning. Kiera Knightley received mostly rave reviews for her Valentino gown she wore to the Venice Film festival last year. People were astonished by her ability to look gorgeous all the while not showing an inch of skin. And truth be told she looked majestic.
Jessica Biel was not greeted with the same enthusiasm for her look a like Elie Saab gown. Is it because it was after Knightley had already rocked the look? Or was it not matronly enough; or not sexy enough? The sheer lace and champagne color made the dress seem light and airy, and her tousled hair was a nice laid back touch and quite the opposite of Knightley’s stern bun. I though Biel looked great, she didn’t look tutty-fruity, but like a serious actress attending an award show.
What completely went by my fashion radar was Leighton Meester’s 2011 Burberry Golden Globe gown. Painfully similar to Biel’s gown and just a tad more wearable than Knightley’s Valentino gown.
Is this going to be a new trend, nude fully covered gowns? I don’t think so. I am not even sure I’d wear one. But this is why fashion is such harmless fun: seeing rich, famous, beautiful people look better than you ever will in clothes you could never afford. But what is even more fun is watching rich, famous, beautiful people looking horrible in ugly clothes you could never afford, but even if you could – you wouldn’t.
