Man vs. Machine…er Model
 |
How exactly does one ruin a gorgeous Marchesa dress? Ask Amanda Bynes. She didn’t physically ruin the dress, at least I don’t think, but the essence of the gown definitely wasn’t there. At the SAG Awards, Miss Bynes wore a beauty of a teal, strapless Marchesa gown from the 2008 resort collection. Unfortunately for Amanda, the dress made her look like she was going to the prom. Unless I have things mixed up, I don’t think the red carpet is anything like the prom, though some seem to think otherwise.
I think this may be one of those times when a dress does look better on a hanger or a model who might as well be a hanger than on an actual person, and lets face it, Amanda Bynes is a real girl with a normal dress size, not like Miss Double Zero herself, Eva Longoria-Parker. The top of her dress seemed to squeeze her chest in and the empire waist made her look shorter. Though I’m not saying I could wear the dress any better than Amanda did (at 5′4″ there’s no doubt in my mind she’s at least a few inches taller than me), but I didn’t like that dress on her very much.
Who wore it better, the model or Amanda Bynes?

Oh, man… I thought she’d never looked better! I loved the saturated teal color, and the fact that she pulled her damn hair AWAY FROM HER FACE! That was a first…
I think she looked fabulous. I’m still not a fan, but she passed my “I hate you, so you better look good” test.

Sorry, I disagree. I thought Amanda pulled that dress of wonderfully. It was my favorite look of the night and I agree that it was nice to see her do something different with her hair. I don’t think she looks prom like at all, but she does look age appropriate.
I get what you guys are saying, because Amanda Bynes does tend to not always look so stunning, but I’m still not really convinced I like the dress on her.
Amanda looks beautiful ! Beat the model for sure !
