Olivia Munn in black velvet at the opera: gorgeous or tragic?

wenn5627983

Last night was opening night for the Metropolitan Opera’s premiere of Rossini’s Le Comte Ory. The event was sponsored by Yves Saint Laurent, and as you can imagine, many of the “fashion girls” and New York A-listers walked the red carpet. And Olivia Munn. I’m assuming this gown she’s wearing is YSL, because the event sponsorship and because it genuinely looks like YSL. I give Olivia credit for dressing appropriately for the occasion, and if ever there’s a fashion need to don lady-like gloves, it’s an opera. I will also give Olivia credit for the fit of this gown – it looks beautiful on her admittedly great figure. But still, this is not Opera Hair. Nor is it Opera Makeup. Why does she always get the hair and makeup wrong? Is it a compulsion for her? Instead of looking put together, she looks like she just wandered onto the red carpet from her fitting.

Also – Olivia is having a bad week. You know how she’s a “television star” now because she on that NBC show Perfect Couples? Yeah, that junk just got canceled, because nearly everybody hated it and no one watched it. The show is being replaced with a new sitcom starring Paul Resier. Because it’s the early 1990s. Well, at least Olivia has her Daily Show gig, right? God, she sucks so much on that show I barely even watch it nowadays for fear she will make an appearance and I’ll be too filled with rage to even fall asleep.

    the dress is lovely but the hair is just wrong.

  2. Rita says:

    The dress, fit, and look are exquisite. I didn’t think she could look this good.

  3. sasa says:

    The hair and the gloves are hideous. Dress is okay.

  4. lucy2 says:

    Yeah, I like the dress, but the gloves (are they a different tone of black?) and the hair and makeup don’t look good.
    I never get the fuss over her – she’s not hideous or anything, but I don’t see the hotness she supposedly has.

  5. brin says:

    She was at the the Opera?! Give me a sec, ok? Uh, this dress is ok but kinda boring.

  6. Marjalane says:

    The dress is great- the hair and orange face are nasty.

  7. Quest says:

    Kinda boring

  8. happygirl says:

    @ brin – LMAO! (morning!!!) I have to agree with pretty much everyone. I don’t like the hair. Or the gloves. And…ok, I just don’t like her. There, I’ve said it. The dress might look good (minus the gold thing on the back) on someone else. Idk…I’m really not a fan of velvet. Reminds me of Elvis. lol. Now I’m itching.

  9. Roma says:

    Her appearances on the Daily Show kill me. I just want Jon Stewart to go on and fire her already.

    And seriously Olivia: stop trying to style your own hair for events. Your hair is a constant and epic fail.

  10. crankychica says:

    So why is this woman in the news? I must be missing something.

    I’ve seen her on the Daily Show. Is she funny?

    Please, someone, help me out. Seriously, why her? My pop culture radar isn’t humming on this one…

  11. silken_floss says:

    dress= ok
    gloves= honey, no
    She would have looked more put together if her hair was styled differently, maybe swept up in a regal bun or something

  12. OtherChris says:

    The gloves are just wrong.

    Also, her hair. She needs longer hair. The length is really bad on her.

  13. latam2012 says:

    long gloves are always tragic

  14. brin says:

    Happy Friday, happygirl!

  15. carrie says:

    someone can explain me why this girl is 3 times per week in this blog!
    who is she? she’s 10 seconds in IRON MAN 2 & 10 seconds in a funny tv show and she’s not funny

    oh YES! she f*cked with Timberlake and she’s a Ted C ‘s blind vice

  16. fabgrrl says:

    Can’t stand her, but I think she looks great here.

  17. tvcon says:

    It’s sad that you’re more famous for the guys you date than your “career”. The thing is Olivia will in a matter of weeks become irrelevant and she will plant another story in the gossip rags.

    She should have never left G4 and now she burned that bridge.

  18. kelbear says:

    Gloves and hair gotta go.

  19. AlaskaJoey says:

    Ceiling Eyes Junior. That’s what I’m calling her from now on.

    Dress is beautiful, but could have used a nice necklace, too. Hair is utterly tragic.

  20. xxodettexx says:

    agree with everyone, pretty dress [want it!] but the hair and makeup and gloves are just tragic

    and she is just AWFUL on TDS! horrible

    thankfully we still have wyatt cenak, jason jones, samantha bee and jon oliver! they make it worth the few seconds they give munn from time to time…

  21. malachais says:

    Close your mouth and get rid of the 70’s bowl cut. Paul Reiser was great in the 90’s…. I am probably going to take a peek at his new show, but I doubt it will be good…I loved Mad about you though.

  22. koala says:

    jesus. does she style herself?? bad.

  23. sickofit says:

    the gloves. simply tragic.

  24. rerun delaney says:

    dress is great, gloves *would* have worked if they were the same black as the dress and looked elegant and not so CHUNKY.

    i don’t think she’s that bad on TDS, but i don’t think she’s that great either. whatever the girl does lack, she doesn’t lack hustle. she’s everywhere.

  25. Marie says:

    The only thing I see when I look at her face is a bulldog…She and Danica Patrick look like bulldogs to me.

  26. Novaraen says:

    The dress is too small…pretty, but too small. Look at the area near her armpits and the picture of her back…the little bit of fat she has is kinda plumping over the edge of the dress.

    Her hair just needs a comb…it’s too messy looking.

  27. Heatheradair says:

    man, that girl has a perpetual SNEER. And (agreeing with everyone else) the grandma-bob is doing her no favors….

  28. what? says:

    wow, she really does look like ceiling eyes!

  29. original kate says:

    who is she exactly?

  30. colt13 says:

    Gosh, she’s beautiful.

    She is becoming a better actress. On Perfect Couples she is not just the hot girl.

  31. Ellie says:

    Plain Jane and Boring. Who is she, again?

  32. DiannSteph says:

    I never think she’s pretty. But I love the gown.
    If Justin Timberlake was fooling around with her, Mila Kunis blows her away IMO.

    quote:
    “She was at the the Opera?! Give me a sec, ok?”

    LMAO, Brin.

  33. Mika says:

    The dress was kind of heavy and boring, the type of thing only a serious fashion person could pull off.

    Olivia is looking kind of rectangular here, which is inexcusable, because her body is fantastically curvy. The haircut doesn’t suit her face, and it looks like she’s sniffing a fart.

  34. Ally says:

    She was terrific on Perfect Couples. And the networks are so stupid to pull shows before they have a chance to build an audience. I liked the show, and it was getting better and smarter as it went.

    Paul Reiser… you gotta be kidding.

  35. I Choose Me says:

    Somebody on here said that they wished someone would stop trying to make Olivia Munn happen and I heartily second the emotion. Cannot stand her and I don’t get why guys think she’s funny. Sexy yes, in terms of she’s got a great figure but her personality ugh! Anywho this outfit isn’t a complete fail. A nice necklace could have elevated this ensemble but I actually think she looks really good here. In fact I’ll even go as far as to disagree about the hairstyle. That bob could use some more volume but it compliments her face.

  36. Kiska says:

    Her hairstyle is so matronly. Makes her head look even more egg shaped.
    As for the dress…meh

  37. Kate says:

    I can’t believe this girl got the cover of Maxim twice in the last year. She’s known for being a video game geek but I get Game Informer magazine and even they make fun of her.

  38. Heatherrr says:

    I want her head sunny side up

  39. Michelle says:

    Those gloves are way to big. Look at the fit in the fingers. Looks like she is practically wearing oven mitts.
