Remember when Actress Lena Denham wore this Giambattista Valli gown to the Emmys? She ended up on the "Worse dress" list of most of the fashion critiques and reviewers. While they didn't like her outfit, I really loved it. I loved it because she chose to wear a style that wasn't the norm aka normal. She chose to wear something that appealed to her sense of adventure. She chose to be different. You know how that is curvy diva. I'm sure that at least once in your fashion repertoire you went by your instincts and wore something that you absolutely loved, regardless of how it may look to others? I know I have. So I do understand her fashion point of view.
What she may have not done however, is wore it with the confidence an outfit like this requires. By looking at the photograph below, I get the feeling she wasn't too happy wearing what she had on. But that's my assumptions, who knows, she might not even want to be there in that moment. In spite of that though, let's keep the focus on her outfit. In my opinion what is wrong with that outfit is the blouse it was paired with. The high peter pan collar is fine. The cap sleeves it good too. Her fashion faux pax is that the shirt she is wearing is too large, and not fitted. The skirt is a beautiful design and will garner all of the attention, as it did. Her hair and make up also detracted from the complete style look.

What would be the Faux Fix for this you might wonder? Take a look at the photograph below. The actress, Rosamund Pike, in a photo shoot for Vanity Fair, wore a slight color variation of the same skirt. Do you see the difference? She is wearing a fitted shirt (a pajama top at that!)a nd even the detailing on the shirt, the open V, the piping on the collar and the sleeves, even the front facing down the front of the shirt does not detract from her overall look. The next detail is her makeup and hair. Her hair was swept up in a beautiful loose curl-coif. The makeup very dramatic, but monochromatic, it was kept in the same color family. Again, it enhanced her entire look. There is another thing that is glaringly obvious, she might be doing a photo shoot, but she looked so confident, owning her look! This is one key component of fashion. You must be confident with yourself. It's not what you wear. It is how you wear it!
