Sarah Jessica Parker’s Valentino: maybe the ugliest thing she’s ever worn?

fp_7295177_ballet_nyc_19_25

Call me crazy, but I would take a million “Big southern/lion hair and Halston” red carpet appearances rather than this fugness. These are photos of Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick at the NYC Ballet Spring Gala last night. SJP can get Matthew to the ballet, but never to a fashion or charity gala. Or a premiere. But ballet, sure! Nevermind, don’t go there, of course they have a strong marriage, why would you think otherwise? Don’t they look… um, happy together?

Anyway, in my mind, SJP’s style reflects her mood. She wore this absolutely God-awful Valentino for the NYC Ballet event, and now I think that Mr. Valentino must totally hate her. Why would a designer even MAKE this ugly dress, much less give it to one of his best clients? SJP knows it sucks too – trust me, SJP knows how to work a gown, and she knows how to ensure a gown is photographed to make it look amazing, and look at what she’s doing with her styling and body language. She draped a purse across her chest, her hair is meh, and she’s got a look on her face that says I wish I had lion hair and I was flying solo.”

Also looking rough? Brooke Shields. I know the whole “flower boob” thing is in style right now, but this is the wrong way to do it.

Oh, and in case you were interested, here’s how Betsy Johnson and her date showed up to the ballet:

    Goes with SJP’s face doesn’t it. OMG!!!! That was soo bitchy, I’m going to hell!

  2. Eileen says:

    Oh my Brooke-that is BAD! Yikes.
    SJP is not on top of her game either-what a let down from her McQueen gown!!
    I love Betsey Johnson-I always think her and HBC should be friends! lol

    NOT BY A LONG SHOT.

    Brooke looks so HARSH.

  4. thinkaboutit says:

    GOd awful. ENough said.

  5. brin says:

    Is this an 80’s reunion of “Square Pegs” or something? Both SJP and Brooke look awful! Betsy Johnson, well, that’s normal for her.

  6. embertine says:

    Bits of this skate close to being gorgeous. I think it is precisely that that highlights the extreme fug.

  7. Crash2GO2 says:

    Actually, I almost love it. The colors do wonders for her. The only thing that mars it is the ‘vesty’ thing that is going on with the top.

  8. the original bellaluna says:

    This is just 8 shades of “NO.”

    Oh dear. Oh my goodness. *clutches pearls* No. Just. NO.

    What does it say about me that I can see the *i don’t know* crinkles (joints) in her pelvic region? And what does it say about the designer? Even if I’m just seeing them through some sort of “liner” that is…not right.

  9. Quest says:

    The look distracts from JP’s face. I thought the same though, but that was before I saw the last pic of Betsy’s ass – Gaga would be proud.

  10. kayla says:

    I think the top white half is really gorgeous, but then…..egads.

  11. Sash says:

    She reminds me of what Blake Lively will look like in 20 years’ time.

  12. Lynda says:

    She and the dress look horrid.

  13. sorrento says:

    Isn’t it funny how so-called fashion icons seem to resemble gay men…not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it looks like Halloween in Greenwich Village

  14. tapioca says:

    It’s not so bad – SJP’s dress would be fine on Vanessa Paradis, or just the top half with jeans and casual hair on Nicole Richie, or the bottom half made into a clingy dress and put on Halle Berry. That said, I like that she’s covered her arms, because they were giving me nightmares!

  15. You Dont Know Jack says:

    She’s just ugly period. Doesn’t matter what she wears.

  16. albeli says:

    It’s fug, but Patricia Fields put her in much worse on SATC.

  17. P.J. says:

    Unfortunately the off-white top washes her out, SJP needs a stronger color next to her face. Slinging the purse across her body and wearing a black bra doesn’t help. It’s a nice dress that would look better on a tall woman; Charlize Theron would look great in it.

  18. Rita says:

    SJP’s mood is revealed in her hair which is the way I feel having to put on a Valentino gown immediately after jogging 3 miles. The gown is not that bad, it just looks that bad.

    *Waves to LittleFatMe*

  19. the original bellaluna says:

    @ embertine – “Skate” being the operative word. Looks like an ice-skating costume.

  20. Cheyenne says:

    WTF was SJP thinking of? She looks like she hijacked the living room curtains.

    Poor Brooke looks rode hard and put away wet.

  21. original kate says:

    i love the bottom but the top? not so much.

  22. Jackson says:

    Nah, not even close. She has worn some hideous things – I’d rank this one in the top half. Which says a lot about what she wears.

  23. You don't say says:

    From big hair, to semi-slicked hair. She needs something to soften her face more. Her eyes photograph pale, so she needs something to open her eyes more as her heavy eye make-up makes her look like Little Orphan Annie with an eyeless stare. Both she and Shields should not have worn either of those dresses–dreadful, the both of them. Johnson and her date–no words.

  24. searching4grace says:

    hahahahah does that say FAIL on the back of that woman’s stockings? Just out of curiosity. 🙂 I don’t like any of the gowns. ugh.

  25. anti says:

    at least her hair wasn’t huge. 🙂

  26. what says:

    Actually Mr Valentino is not running his maison anymore. He was a master and women always looked queens of style and class wearing his outfits.
    The young designers that the new Valentino owners hired to create the new collections need to find something new and fresh and classy asap.
    Having said this, SJP is also to blame, because she has plenty of choices and recently she is consistently making the wrong ones. Besides, here she did her best to have this outfit looking miserable: necklace, hair, make up, bag, a sad look, overall a big mess.

  27. danielle says:

    The ugliest thing SJP has ever worn is a very competitive category.

  28. JustBored says:

    Brooke is not aging well. Oh My

  29. bagladey says:

    I like that dress; it’s beautiful and it’s probably really beautiful in real life with beautiful colours and fabric and beading and lace. Yet it seems “simple” and casual to me and maybe SJP felt that way too, that’s why she slung her bag across her chest.

  30. lucy2 says:

    I actually think Rachel McAdams red lace monstrosity at Cannes is worse.

  31. lilred says:

    What the hell happened did Brooke get hit by a low flying duck?

    SJP’s dress is not good

    Betsy and her companion are just WRONG why do people keep thinking everyone wants to see their Ass?

  32. Zombie Nurse says:

    1. Brooke looks like a man.

    2. I WANT those stockings- if only to swan around the house in.

  33. RHONYC says:

    in this shot Matthew Broderick outshines the dress as the ugliest thing she’s worn.

    🙁

  34. Sisi says:

    The photo assumption done here is spot on: it’s fug and she knows it

  35. Ron says:

    It’s bad. It looks so old.

  36. Joan says:

    Actually, I love it, but the handbag strap has got to go.

  37. Ann says:

    Totally not. It works!

  38. WhiteNoise says:

    *shrug* I like the dress, I think SJP looks great.

  39. Kim says:

    Brooke Shields looks way worse! Her dress is hideous. She is not aging well.

  40. Sheigh says:

    Brooke is terribly scary. I only see a man with an hideous peacok on her chest!
    And SJP, her dress is not bad, not good but it would be a better thrill with her legendary lion hairspray wig seen yesterday or maybe one day or two days before !

  41. MMF says:

    Who is this Betsey chicky?

  42. wunderkindt says:

    Ugliest thing she’s ever worn?

    Her face! And that happens everyday.

    Brooke looks like a dude!

  43. Amandahugandkiss says:

    Now THAT is how you make an entrance. *sigh* I want to be Betsey.

  44. e says:

    i want to see tilda (or cate) in sjps dress

  45. Catherine says:

    She never has been a pillar of good taste in my opinion so the valentino is quite fitting for her.

  46. erin says:

    I think it’s a lovely dress. The make-up does not complement it well.

    brooke look no good.

  47. Onyx XV says:

    SJP has worn way fuglier outfits than that. Like someone above said, Patricia Fields on SATC dressed her in some horrid clothes (& horrider hats!)

    Poor Brooke. As others have already pointed out, she IS looking rather mannish. I used to have a chick crush on her, but it’s true she’s really not aging well.

  48. dr.bombay says:

    I’ve seen some of the crap SJP has worn over the years. Her dress is meh but not, by far, the worst. BROOKE however looks like a train wreck. She appears to have a small animal hot-glued to her chest with a big white thingy bedazzled to it! Then, to top it off, she crunched up some Reynolds Wrap and, just for fun made a necklace. Ugh.

  49. ZenB says:

    @Lisa (first post): I was just at the Gaga post where she has all the cat botox and chipmunk filler and I was wondering – what is worse to do the botox and look like a young ET or to do nothing and look like SJP. I’ve always thought SJP looked old for whatever age she is at the time.

    Then I see this and it looks like SJP manages to look old and saggy while having a botoxed forehead. How is that possible!

    Oh I know, the same way I manage to love Carrie and cringe whenever I see SJP. Worse! I bet SJP is a nice girl but she is so fug.

    I am also going to Hell

  50. ZenB says:

    Oh about the dresses… hideous but I’ve seen worse.

    Back to ‘tox or not to ‘tox – Brooke has that same tox yet saggy thing going on? WTH?

  51. riri says:

    You are talking about SJP’s dress (interesting looking BTW) and then you show the ugliest dress I have seen –
    Brooke Shields’.

    Brooke is wearing something so obnoxious, I can’t believe she agreed to wear such a thing.

  52. Lia says:

    The dress looks like the white top was an afterthought. It actually looks like the dress would be pretty cool without the white top, as just the v-neck underneath. Unfortunately for Sarah, she’ll always look like she counts by slapping her foot on the floor, poor thing.

  53. Newbie says:

    I actually don’t mind it. The other outfits are atrocious though.

  54. JulieM says:

    What @26 beat me to it. Valentino retired a few years ago and the two shoe designers, who took over after his immediate successor (Alessandra Faccinetti) was unceremoniously dumped after two collections, are quite honestly not up to the job. In my opinion, of course. The SJP dress, while not completely awful, is an example.

    Also, Mr Valentino is actually Mr. Garavani. Valentino is his first name. I recommend “The Last Emperor” to anyone who wants to see something very entertaining; a documentary that was made to coincide with his retirement. Watching Valentino and his long time business partner Giancarlo Giammetti argue about the placement of ruffles on haute couture is a riot.

  55. kasper says:

    this is actually about the best i’ve seen old horseface look.

  56. cait says:

    So Betsey Johnson showed up with her date on a leash? And was the young ladies tush exposed the whole time, or did she just flip her dress up for the camera?

  57. shirls says:

    SJP looks great … love the dress..elegent.
    Brooke looks like a dragqueen
