Fashion Police: Optical Illusions

Stars wowed at the Venice Film Festival last week. Well, most of them did at least. Actor Rebecca Hall left us with dropped jaws, but not in a good way.

The charge sheet



Hair

Hall’s hair looks like an upside down mop. In fact, it doesn’t even look like it’s been brushed. A simple blow-drow or a chic updo would have looked so much better.

Make-up

 

What make-up? The actor seems to be wearing none, other than maybe a slight hint of lipstick. A dewy look would have looked so much better, with some blush to accentuate those cheek bones.

Outfit

Where do we begin? The patterned dress by Christopher Kane is giving us a headache, and the collar would have been better suited for a men’s shirt rather than a dress fit for the red carpet. The length of the dress is also awkward which does not complement her petite figure at all.

Shoes and Accessories

Rebecca chose to go accessory-free on the red carpet, which seems fine as the print on her dress is so busy. Unfortunately, she should’ve gone without shoes as well. These sandals are made for senior citizens taking walks in the park, not actors on a red carpet. A simple pair of peep toes would have done wonders for her entire look.

Bail out!

Dakota Fanning



Looks like the Twilight star is all grown up, and she proves it in this sparkly blue Elie Saab gown, and is the first star to step out in a dress from the Fall 2013 collection! Her sleek, blonde locks frame her face beautifully, and the gown shows off her great figure.

Sandra Bullock



The actor looks classy and sassy in this J Mendal red showstopper. She contrasts her dress wonderfully with black shoes and a black clutch. She lets the dress speak for itself with minimal accessories.

Scarlet Johansson



The newly engaged starlet looks ravishing in this black off-shoulder Versace gown, although everyone’s eyes were on her engagement ring! With a statement necklace to finish off her look, along with a chic up do and soft make-up, the actor looks divine!
