I didn't immediately recognize Naomi Watts when I saw these photos of her at "The Impossible" premiere in Madrid. I'm ashamed to say there was a second I actually thought "Madonna?". But it is the talented and beautiful Naomi Watts wearing a very classic Hollywood Marchesa dress. Now the dress... It looks like a good idea gone awry. I think there's a fit problem and too much fabric, especially on the top half, but the hem also looks a bit off. Naomi is fabulous and I like her lipstick and love the accessories- they really say "movie star". I just think she deserves a better-fitting dress.

Oh my goodness! "Dynasty" shoulders! I wonder if Alexis is missing one of her dresses :-P The dress is such a Hollywood cliché and coming from Marchesa it is such a disappointment. I think you're right in that the proportion is overly exaggerated and off. Looking like a line backer has never been flattering.
ReplyDeleteI hope it looked better in person because I adore Naomi. I love the vintage idea of the whole outfit and makeup. She looks like she was having fun wearing it. How high are those shoes???!
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the above. The fabric and pattern seem too heavy on her delicate frame. The shoes are beautiful and the purse looks interesting (in a good way). I love the Dynasty comparison! After I read that, I thought about Scarlett O' Hara making a ballgown from her curtains (a more successful look if I remember correctly!)
ReplyDeleteI know, those shoulders are shocking! lol Maybe if they were normal shoulders and the hemline came up a few inches it would be vastly improved. Great accessories though!
ReplyDeleteI agree - she is so pretty, but that dress is just awful. If it fit her properly, it would be a little better...but not enough.
