But have a big problem with her showing that much skin underneath(of course-she's an actress, I know-she needs to make a statement).<br /> Would have loved&nbsp;the dress&nbsp;sooo much better worn with&nbsp;with a sexy &nbsp;boyfriend/french style&nbsp;knickers-(so, wide on her sides) showing through the sheer panels, with sass&nbsp;(I mean some special&nbsp; designed skin stretch knickers, black/or white, lacey or not, and&nbsp; laser cut style of course). <br />Now, IMOH&nbsp;that would have been even more dareing but same time much more tasteful in a sexy way. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress/page/2#post-920667 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:47:10 +0000 Scarlet 920667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's how I always wear mine https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress/page/2#post-920662 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:30:07 +0000 RoseandJoan 920662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beth, I 100% agree with your assessment.<br /><br />Scarlet, is a highbrow to be worn with side butt, thigh gap and side boob https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-920214 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:47:17 +0000 Scarlet 920214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In case anyone wants a highbrow read:</p> <p><a href="http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/04/trend-side-butt-is-the-new-sideboob.html" rel="nofollow">http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/0.....eboob.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-920204 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:31:48 +0000 Beth 920204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I actually really like the sci-fi feel to the dress and the way the&nbsp;teal accents bring out her eyes. <br /><br />I don't like that the dress feels like a manufactured look that's not authentic to the way she typically presents herself. The panels are a horror...make them narrow sheer strips and we might be getting somewhere. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-919583 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:17:45 +0000 Niefern 919583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <i></i>OMG, I think that dress is just horrid!!!<br /><br />However, I find GP is absolutely beautiful, I particularly love her face.

Sometimes when you're a celeb (I'd imagine), it's easy to get carried away with what the people around you want you to wear. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-919445 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 15:30:50 +0000 Ariadne 919445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just think it's awkward looking - like two or three different dresses smashed together. &nbsp;I don't find it particularly risque or shocking,<br /><br />ETA: HA! &nbsp;Just saw the side view. &nbsp;That's pretty risque, indeed. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-919406 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 14:48:57 +0000 ironkurtin 919406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-gwyneth-paltrow-humiliated-20130426,0,4795613.story" rel="nofollow">http://www.latimes.com/enterta.....,4795613.s</a><br /><br />Well, she has a sense of humor about it.&nbsp; It makes me like her more.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-919308 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:50:56 +0000 Deborah 919308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the dress from the front but the side view! I actually fi d it distasteful. Also the seam down the side seems to pull as she walks and that is also un appealing. Less is always more on my books and I don't see the need to show so much flesh...yes I guess I'm a little old fashioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-919305 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:35:59 +0000 RoseandJoan 919305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, to a degree the dress was a huge success as we are taking about her at a time she has both a film and a book to promote, plus lest we forget Gwyneth has donned very sheer dresses in the past (2002 Oscars anyone). <br /><br />Gaylene and Jonesy, I do think you are right about the lack of diversity shown on the today's&nbsp;red carpet. The great thing about Cher and the likes of Bjork's swan dress is the amount of personality they displayed,&nbsp;I actually looked forward to what they would choose to wear next.<br /><br />The Gwyneth dress lacks the same impact because you are aware of the team of professionals who played a part in this decision, it feels less like a mistake and more of a calculated risk. I think I would have admired her more if she had told the worlds media 'I have body confidence and love the dress'. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918986 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:47:49 +0000 Mia 918986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Someone must have talked her into this? &nbsp;Don't celebs have mirrors :)<br />I admire people that take risks but it's just as she said a "disaster". https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918977 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:25:36 +0000 Gaylene 918977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The reaction to Gwyneth's dress reminds me of all the gasping we did at Cher's outrageous and outlandish Bob Mackie outfits a few decades ago. Cher was savy enough to realize that what we wanted at these Hollywood events were celebrities in costumes, not tasteful evening dresses.<br /><br />I'm definitely not a Gwyneth fan, but I applaud her decision to risk wearing a costume instead of another strapless, beaded, fish-tail, designer dress. Can you imagine the fun if all the celebs started dressing this way for events like the Oscars? That red carpet would be sizzling and we'd have enough to talk about for days after the event!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918965 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:35:23 +0000 ironkurtin 918965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with AG.&nbsp; I do think she is beautiful, but that dress isn't doing her any favors and seems out of character.<br /><br />On the other hand, we're talking about it.&nbsp; Which to some people is all that matters.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918960 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:22:42 +0000 K. Period. 918960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm neutral about the dress. &nbsp;Pluses: I like that it has a comic book&nbsp;sci-fi feel, which I think is a fun, slightly cheeky comment on the movie. &nbsp;(And yes, I did say slightly cheeky.) &nbsp;Negatives: I think it is a little awkward because the silver areas on the bottom part are too narrow, creating a very exaggerated top-heavy look. &nbsp;If the silver had wrapped around and met on the skirt, I think it would have been lovely. &nbsp;No worries about too much side-view show through, no weird proportions. &nbsp;&nbsp;Bottom line: mheh. &nbsp;<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918937 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:56:47 +0000 Jonesy 918937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ On the plus side, I really love that it isn't strapless and has sleeves--I really dislike strapless dresses and that whole grown-up-prom/princess thing that is the norm on the red carpet. I like the silhouette, generally speaking. On the negative side, I am a little distracted by the wide sheer side panels and think they detract from the dress. <br /><br />Love the matching floral top and pants by Erdem she's wearing in some of the other pics of the movie debut!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918930 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:43:13 +0000 catgirl 918930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rachy, I agree.&nbsp; I feel she went from classy and singular to trying to cover it all (rock star's wife!&nbsp; actress!&nbsp; amazing mom!&nbsp; celebrity chef!&nbsp; country singer!).&nbsp; Too bad because she obviously has a million talents and just needs to realize that like the rest of us, she can't do it ALL. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918925 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:39:46 +0000 Anonymous 918925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My first thought was, well, at least she didn't get arrested and talk back to a police officer. &nbsp;Ha!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918918 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:36:25 +0000 catgirl 918918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I thought it was skanky and out of character for her - she doesn't need to try so hard. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918901 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:27:24 +0000 Jyoti 918901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't mind the sheer panels actually, I just think the dress as a whole does not work. &nbsp;There is too much going on, and I do think she was going for space-themed, but I would have preferred something more sleek. &nbsp;The sheer panels, the green trim and belt and the cutout stuff on the front is TOO MUCH all together! &nbsp;I think maybe one of these design decisions would have made for a better dress.<br /><br />I'm sad cause she wore that CK cape dress at the Oscars which I loved so much! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918895 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:23:46 +0000 Lantana 918895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is not friendly to my eye. The white apron looks, well like a white apron, the bodice fabric and skirt don't match which annoys my matchy matchy sensibilities and I dont like the seam down the side of the sheer panel. The green borders add more dissonance. My practical self is grizzling about the whiskering across the hips and contemplating with some horror the high possibility of wardrobe malfunction in the - erm - nether regions.<br /> As for modesty, she's an actor, nuff said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918887 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:16:19 +0000 ElleH 918887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It isn't my favourite movie premiere dress but I've seen a lot worse. As far as exposing herself goes, I think it is fine for a celebrity. Who else &amp; where else do you get to wear dresses like this, apart from the runway? I and most people I know wouldn't feel comfortable&nbsp;dressing like this&nbsp;so the celebrities might as well. They are thespians, they come from a background in drama &amp; costumes.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918882 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:13:14 +0000 rachylou 918882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What is this about the world's most beautiful woman? No, I have to disagree. Beautiful is not the right word for Gwyneth. And to be honest, I don't think enough people care about her. I think she was also recently voted the most hated celeb, which I'm sorry to say is how I think most people feel. There has been something disappointing about the arch of her life. Goop is certainly somehow a little insulting...<br /><br />However, I do like her because she's made some of my favourite movies. And she used to have a powerful lot of style...<br /><br />Ok. But to the question: I actually thought it was a great dress. It didn't show anything that I saw. It was all space-age and robotic, appropriate for <i>Iron Man</i> I feel. And it was a zinger.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918879 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:10:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 918879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ She actually admitted on the Ellen Degeneres show the other day that this dress was "a disaster". https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918878 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:09:44 +0000 Thistle 918878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Most beautiful woman in the world, huh?&nbsp; I always wonder who gets to vote on THAT!<br /><br />I think she looks fine. It may not have been my first choice, but then I didn't wear it.<br /><br />Also, i think it got what she wanted.&nbsp; People to talk about it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918872 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:06:10 +0000 claracluck 918872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ darn I thought I was the most beautiful woman in the world.ho hummm https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-we-talk-about-that-gweneth-dress#post-918760 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:31:56 +0000 Anonymous 918760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oooh no!
