Worst Dressed: When Ugly AND Expensive Meet

@BunsenBurner: That is a lovely dress. Too bad it’s only available in a 14.

For the Mickey Mouse outfits – apparently they were unable to find a model willing to wear them publicly.

Looks like that dress got the boot, @BunsenBurner :slight_smile:

And as for the mickey dress, I was thinking when it was posted that it would make cute curtains for my granddaughter’s room… Same thinking here.

tonight at the Golden Globes, Nicole Kidman is carrying a pokeball! https://www.eonline.com/news/1002034/nicole-kidman-is-a-vision-in-curve-hugging-gown-at-2019-golden-globes

I know more than a couple of Disney fanatics that would love both. They are a different breed.

These 2 are next to each other on their website, and look like the gown one puts on at the Drs office,

followed by the Dr/nurses attire

Not sure what I’d think if my healthcare provider walked in in mismatched socks.

I really disliked Nicole’s dress.

https://www.eonline.com/news/1002034/nicole-kidman-is-a-vision-in-curve-hugging-gown-at-2019-golden-globes Really? Is rubber the in fabric this days. She looks atrocious-and not because of the ball. And really, about this" Nicole Kidman revealed yet another stunning (and super sexy!) look on the red carpet." Nope. She look terrible.

Does anyone actually buy this stuff? That’s a serious question, I’m not being sarcastic. I mean, I guess the must if Nordstrom advertises it but who ARE these people?

How convenient… two wardrobe items in one!!

Well ^^^ aren’t those just perfect for traveling light.

And your date can wear a matching pant, too!

(Mr. looked at the Pantoshoes and said they would make great fashionista swamp waders, lol.)

Apparently, they are inspired by “fetishwear”:

And if you just love the look, but can’t afford the steep price tag, you can help Kickstart this knockoff:

^^Lol!!!

OMG… there is a deeply discounted one on RealReal, and it kind of hints at how it would look on a body that is not a runway body. :slight_smile:

@BunsenBurner Therein lies the problem. How would it really fit anyone? They’ve bunched it up on the mannequin, but in real life, those would be some droopy drawers!

This is very 1980s, and I see the look often made fun of in movies, so odd that it’s been brought back and even more ridiculous:

“How convenient… two wardrobe items in one!!”

I have to wonder how this got off the drawing board.

@BunsenBurner …when I first saw your link to the pantashoes by Balenciaga, my first thought was reminiscent of the tights that some figure skaters wear in their costumes there the tights or pants also cover their skates to make one long line, though it’s not the same as the skate is not truly part of the pants or tights.
