Am I missing something?


The reviews of Chloë Sevigny's Zodiac premiere dress are in, and apparently, many in the industry disagree with my take on this mess and are calling Ms. Sevigny's Luella frock a big fat fashion homerun.

If you ask me, I think these good reviews are a direct result of the fact this woman has spent her entire career setting the bar so low that when she finally does show up wearing foundation and some lip gloss the critics have no choice but to give her golf claps.

The reviews:

The actress stepped out in a hot pink Luella minidress, accessorized with Neil Lane jewels and Dolce & Gabbana pumps. We love the bright burst of color and origami-like skirt!

Sevigny was pretty in pink at the Hollywood premiere of her new film, Zodiac. The actress wore a fuchsia Luella cocktail dress with a Neil Lane cross necklace and Dolce & Gabbana shoes.

Chloë Sevigny's style picks sometimes leave us scratching our heads, but she really hits the fashion mark at the Zodiac premiere. The dramatic draping, hot-pink hue and chunky gold necklace all work together to create a very haute couture effect. Bravo, Chloë!

I was wrong, it *could* get worse


Or was worse, to be more accurate.

The more I thought about Chloë's mess of a dress, the more I knew I'd seen it somewhere before.

After much searching, my eyes are lovely shade of lab-rat pink, but at least we all now know that like the pair of button-adorned, multi-color, multi-fabric "booties" on this poor, poor model's feet, the dress in question is a Luella creation.

If I go through this much trouble to identify the clothes I hate, just imagine what I'll do for the ones I love.
