Okay Julia, wassup…
…with the dress?
I kind of really really really want to know what you were thinking. Because to get away with a dress like that (which may not even be possible) a person must be very young and a model and kind of avant-garde looking and even then I don’t think it would ever, ever, ever work. The print alone adds a thousand pounds.
She’s still better looking than Imam Rauf.
Ugly, wrinkled, MO belt. OMG!
Fatigued with her decades of being celebrated as an international beauty, Julia decided to wrap things up with a little Saran Wrap and some spray paint and 38 glazed sour-cream doughnuts.
Yikes! Even the shoes and hair are unflattering. Perhaps she was going for the “it’s so bad it’s good” look? “I am more avant-garde than you, that is why you think my outfit stinks, because you are uncultured and clearly do not know what is “in”.”
She looks…..dare I say it…..dowdy. Positively so. The eyes scream in protest!
I think you’ll find a picture of that dress in the dictionary between reptile and repugnant.
(For those who didn’t hear it, Julia says that’s where you find the word Republican.)
and also…..”Here, let me add yet another 15 pounds or so to my hips as I stylishly put my hand in my pocket!” EGADS!
1. The shoes are okay.
2. Men look at Julia Roberts first, dress 49th.
Maybe it’s like the Seinfeld puffy shirt episode — remember that one? He promised a designer acquaintance (who spoke barely above a whisper) that he’d wear one of her designs on a TV talk show and didn’t discover until he was about to go on that it was a rather awful shirt with big, puffy sleeves. Anyway, maybe Julia had the same dreadful mishap with a designer?
Maybe if the camera had been angled down, instead of up?
Is it my imagination or does her belt look like it’s right below her bust? For some reason, I always thought that a person’s waist was somewhere much closer to their thighs than chest.
Maine’s Mom: don’t think so. That would most likely have foreshortened the legs.
does her belt look like it’s right below her bust?
Blame that particular fashion trend on FLOTUS.
Maybe it was designed by a family member and she’s trying to help her out.
Or, maybe she just doesn’t care about her career anymore.
Or maybe she’s lost her fashion chops. It’s been many years since she’s been in the limelight promoting a movie.
Perhaps like so many moms with small children, she just wears sweat pants all day.
Regardless, that’s an amazing picture. I sort of like the shoes.
…but her legs are still perfect, and the shoes – nice
Still better than that stinker of a movie, “Eat, Pray, Love”.
The dress was provided by Sony and color coordinated with their logo curtain behind Julia.
Notice how the dress blends into the background; it must be a form of camouflage.
“2. Men look at Julia Roberts first, dress 49th.”
Not true. In this instance it really is “All About the Dress” since one cannot see beyond it.
It looks like she was at a premiere in Japan. The dress looks a little like a kimono. Maybe that was her intent?
@hi,
You people have wrecked the greatest country in history and destroyed things for a few hundred million people.
Swear now, but Judgment Day begins Nov. 2nd. And it will continue.
America will never trust you ingrates to power again. You’re done in a few months.
I’m sorry, Mike Mc., but that really wasn’t about the dress, was it?
Oh… wait…. that was about a vaporized troll. Good shooting neo!
Mike Mc., great rant, but what you do you think of the dress?
Maybe we could nominate her to be on “What Not To Wear”, and Clint and Stacy could ambush her at her West Village townhouse or whatever, and giver her a consultation and $5,000 to buy a new wardrobe that would be more flattering.
That was about a reply that has since been deleted.
As for women’s dresses, they’re all basically good, considering the woman wearing them.
Tattoos are another matter.
Guess what? That wasn’t the worse looking dress she wore while in Japan.

Would make cool fabric for a Florida condo sofa.
A wide brimmed lavender hat and a pair of long white gloves and Voila!!!!, she’s on her way to a League of Women Voters meeting. Or she could audition for the part of Bella Abzug.
Neo: First you complain about skinny models, now you’re upset over a dress that “adds a thousand pounds”.
There’s just no pleasing some people.
😉
The cut of the dress itself isn’t that bad, actually – it’s just an ordinary sort of dress, would flatter most every sort of body type. I’ve got a couple in my closet (made from Vogue Designer patterns) at this very minute. Wear it with a matching jacket to the office, add a string of pearls and some jazzy earrings for an after-work social – a very ordinary, bland, unnoticeable dress. The shoes – meh. OK, I guess, bit I’d be breaking my ankles even just trying them on.
It’s the fabric which is eye-bleedingly awful. It looks like something that the curtains and bedspread in a downmarket motel in some blighted metropolitan area would be made from. Something that would be woven of %100 polyester and on the remnant table for $1.99 a yard.
George Bush told her she looked great in that dress.
She looks like she’s figured it out, too late, and is resigned.
Also, reminds one that she had a leg double !!! in Pretty Woman.
Perhaps Sony paid her. That Japanese script in the background really pops.
Women are just plain weird at how they can look at two pair of shoes and claim to love one and hate the other. The weird part being to us men the two pair of shoes can look damn near identical. 🙂
The curtains and bedspread analogy in a beat-down motel is a good one. Or one of those ugly cheap sofas you pick up for a few hundred for a dorm room.
Every night my wife and daughter horde the remote and keep the living room television on ‘Jersey Housewives’, ‘What Not to Wear’, ‘Real World, New Orleans’ and whatever other inane, pointless waste of time is available for their viewing pleasure.
So rather than comment on Ms. Robert’s dress I’ll just sit here and bang my head repeatedly on my desk.
