This is The Face of Bangs Trauma. There is NO NEED for a woman to do this to herself. Poor Rose Byrne. She’s so beautiful and so talented, but her hair issues have destroyed her chances to ever become “someone to watch” on the red carpet. Plus, the girl has NO style. At the SAGs last night, the cast of Bridesmaids was out in full force. I sometimes feel like Rose is the odd girl out of that cast, maybe because she’s the only non-American, maybe because she’s known more as a dramatic actress, maybe because SHE HAS CODE RED BANGS TRAUMA. I don’t know. Whatever is going on with her, it’s not good. Rose wore this 2009 Elie Saab jumpsuit that is easily my choice for Worst SAG Outfit. It’s not that I hate jumpsuits or anything – sometimes, a jumpsuit is a really cute red carpet choice. But this one, with the stiff, beaded, brocade material and the shoulder embellishments, it’s all just awful. The cherry on top is the awful “Dutch Boy” hair. It’s epic in its hideousness. Poor Rose.
Compared to Rose, anyone else is going to look better, right? So why did Kristen Wiig still manage to mess up her look too? I like and respect Kristen so much… which is why I really want her to find a (better?) stylist. CB really likes Kristen’s Balenciaga gown, and while the beigey color completely washes Kristen out, the gown itself is well-constructed and pretty. The biggest problem here is the hair and the giant choker. I don’t hate Kristen as a brunette, but while she’s darker, she shouldn’t go so dark with her makeup too, because the effect looks really cheap.
Go ahead an hate me, but I thought Melissa McCarthy was the best dressed of all of the Bridesmaids girls. She looked classy and simple. I would like to her in a brighter color, maybe. Her dress was Badgley Mischka – I’m glad Badgley Mischka gowns are returning to the red carpet, aren’t you?
And here’s Maya Rudolph in Naeem Khan. I don’t think this dress suits her at all – it’s WAY too matronly. Maya is only 39 years old – this is the kind of dress I could have seen on Meryl Streep or Glenn Close, you know?

The white jumpsuit is terrible, and I hate the bob.
Kristen look is ruined by that HORRIBLE Choker.
I think this is Melissa’s best award season look so far, but still not a winning look yet. Improved though.
Maya looks the best out of the bunch.
EXACTLY. Kristen actually looks very pretty, but when you wear a halter dress, you do NOT wear adornment around your neck!
I second that about the necklace. It was even worse than whatever Byrne has done to her forehead. WTF?
agreed. I can’t even wrap my head around how or why someone would ever even think to wear that choker with a halter dress.
And I also agree that this is the best Melissa has looked this awards season. It nice to see her in something that actually flows with her curves instead of fighting against them. She should embrace her figure. But I’d like to see her in something that didn’t have long sleeves. Also, her husband’s bow-tie is adorable.
@Marianne, I actually like the jumper. It was just inappropriate for an award show where most were wearing ballgowns.
And here, I’m going to ask the FRENCH PEOPLE’s support: You do not shit on the Mireille Mathieu haircut! 😉 Remember, Mireille with Patrick Duffy from Dallas? They made a video together. Here you go, memory lane:

Okay, I’m not a fan of this term but Rose?… BANGS TRAUMA! *dry heaves*
Edit: Have now seen all pictures of Rose and read post… yeah, thats all-over trauma. Dang, ugliest jumpsuit ever! All the other were meh – but someone get Rose a stylist! Something about Rose looks very skele-torial? Skele-tic? Bone-y?
It’s amazing to me that such a beautiful woman could manage to make herself look SO ugly. Tragic.
I know! I remember seeing an interview with her and Kristin for Bridesmaids when it just came out. She was gorgeous and I was kind of jealous… not so much anymore :/ She looked curvier before but now she just looks plain emaciated. Huh – I guess to much tíme in Hollywood can do that too you.
Oh I know! The first thing I ever saw her in was Damages. During the first season, she had a normal body but gradually gets thinner and more emaciated with every subsequent season.
You can tell that her body was NOT meant to be this thin. She has hips and a natural hourglass-y shape. Now she just looks sickly to me…
Yeah, Anna Wintour looks really young for a fifty-something.
Maya’s dress may have been a little “old,” but I promise that wasn’t the first thing I noticed. Is she still jacked up from her baby in July? If so, I’m jealous. My breasts didn’t grow with my first, and they still haven’t grown with this one!
I’ll jealous right back to you, I still haven’t gotten rid of my enormous pregnancy boobs. She does have nursing breasts, doesn’t she?
I actually thought the jumpsuit was kind of 70s retro-cool, but I agree that the bangs were horrible. Kristen should have ditched that choker and worn big earrings. I wish whoever is styling Octavia Spencer would help Melissa. And poor Maya-she has that “just had a baby and am feeling fat (although she’s certainly NOT) and exhausted, and just have to be at this event with no time to find something pretty or primp”.
I think Maya Rudolf looks sexy!
Kristin Wigg would look alright if not for that weird metal dog collar thingy.
Is that Melissa McCarthy ‘s husband? Cute couple, but too too much black! I can’t tell where she ends and he begins!
it DOES look like a dog collar!
and I do think that is her husband. He’s also in Bridesmaids, which I bet was really fun to shoot with your husband! How could you not laugh out loud the whole time filming those scenes?
I’ll have to watch it again and look for him. Is he the one that she gets in on with after the end credits rolled?
It is her husband, he’s the air marshall she tries to seduce on the plane.
@chia, thanks. That makes it even funnier! And he is the one she gets it on with after the end credits. Hilarious!
In other pics, Melissa’s dress looks blue.
Bummer about Rose Byrne. I really like her but that is AWFUL all-around. The hair is like…WTF…
None of them look all that great. Wish Melissa McCarthy had worn some color instead of predictably sticking with the bandwagon color for bigger girls.
Kristen Wiig’s makeup doesn’t bother me but the choker and dress look kind of budget to me.
I actually liked Rose’s look. It was different. More interesting than the usual look we see on the red carpet over and over.
Rose looks like she is wearing a wig. That bob/bangs style might look nice on someone else, but absolutely takes away from her beauty. And the pantsuit?!? Someone fire her stylist (if she has one).
my first reaction was “wig” when i saw the photo, too. Horrible, horrible, looks like she should be on an episode of Welcome Back Kotter or in Saturday Night Fever with that hair and outfit. That girl always has a look of extreme constipation on her face!
love the bangs love the bob, she is rockin’ it, sorry it’s the truth although it may be a not so good wig?
Oy. What a mess. I do think Maya looks the best of the bunch here though. Yeah, a little matronly, but still better than the rest. And Rose looks like a sparkly Qtip….with waxy brown bangs on one end.
Looks like they are wearing their bridesmaid looks to the SAG awards. I didn’t care for any of them (maybe Kristen’s minus the choker).
I didn’t even recognize her as Rose Byrne, and even after I read it, I STILL had to go back and analyze the pic. Fug, Fug, Fug.
Omg. The choker is unreal. Why, why, why???
I was just happy to see Kristen Wiig NOT looking so damn skinny and sickly. I was flipping through the channels last night and came across the “Bridesmaids” cast on stage. When I saw a healthy looking woman with a slight (gasp!) tummy bulge, I wasn’t sure who it was. Thrilled to realize that Wiig had put on some much-needed weight.
I personally thought she was the best dressed of the evening. She looked really stylish.
I agree. Not too sure on the hair – but the jumpsuit is wonderful. Dare to be different!!
Another vote for the jumpsuit. One of the best looks of the night, a perfect fit for the SAGs.
Oh Rose! So pretty, yet such bad choices! The hair is AWFUL, so heavy that’s all you see. Had the jumpsuit been a gown I think it would have been nice, but otherwise, no.
Kristen definitely seems to have an offbeat style, but I rarely like her choices. She has a great figure and the darker hair makes her eyes pop, a good stylist could easily make her a red carpet star.
Maya doesn’t seem that into fashion, I think she looks fine here.
I like Melissa’s dress, don’t have a problem with the black color as she’s worn a lot of different colors on the red carpet in the past few months.
So many problems with Rose Byrne and I thought she looked beautiful in Bridesmaids. Did she lose a lot of weight? I thought she was curvier in the film. She looks emaciated here. The hair has got to go. A big ol’ heap of uncombed mess would have looked better than these bangs. I liked the outfit until I saw that it was a jumpsuit. It would’ve looked nice if it had been a dress and she showed a little leg. She’s also wearing too much blush and foundation. Why? How can a skinny woman with nice skin mess herself up like this? She could’ve easily looked great with minimal makeup, a natural hairdo parted at the side, and a sparkly white dress.
That choker messed up Kristen’s entire ensemble. What a mess. Her hairdo is also ugly. She could have just let down her hair and worn a nice dangly pair of diamond earrings. Can’t these stars get their hands on any jewelry they want to borrow for the evening? There is no excuse to wear cheap looking jewelry.
I completely agree with you about Melissa McCarthy. As i was watching the SAGs i kept thinking to myself how pretty/awesome she looked.
As for Rose Byrne, the hair was not the greatest but i’m kinda loving her jumper.
ITA. Love the jumper.
And this is the best I’ve seen McCarthy. I get tired of stylists always dressing larger women to look older as well. Her size has nothing to do with her age. I think she has a prettier face than her cousin.
I’m not crazy about the husband’s outfit, but they seem happy, and that makes him look better than most.
Rose is wearing the Wintour Wig.
Seriously! But only The Wintour wears it well.
I loved the jump suit…so cute and not many women can wear it. As far as everyone else…they looked ok. The choker though…ugh.
Am I the only one who thinks Kristen’s hair is way too dark? It washes her out and the color is flat.
Crossing my fingers that those bangs are the clip-in kind. I absolutely love the jumpsuit, and usually don’t like jumpsuits- but she looks really unique and classy (other than the hair). I love when stars take a risk on the red carpet!
Time to get rid of that choker, it looks nasty. I kind of like the jumpsuit, but not the hair.
The ONLY accessory Kristin Wiig needed was sexy Fabrizio Moretti. His mere presence would have allowed me to forgive her for the choker faux pas.
I would have loved the jumpsuit had it been a dress.
Maya Rudolph is one of the most hysterical comics ever!!!
I think Rose’s jumpsuit would have looked great if it was a floor length dress and her hair would have looked better if she kept it straight and went for some softer bangs…Melissa looks gorgeous! very simple, elegant and classy!…Kristen should have left her hair down, wore earrings, ditch the choker and I think the gown would have looked better in a different colour…Maya’s gown is alright!…xx
Rose Byrne’s outfit looks like a leftover costume from Roller Disco! 3
They even found the wig.
Holy hell.
YESSS! that hair, that get up… it’s totally 70s Disco!
The hair makes her look old. It accentuates the lines around her eyes.
I like the jumpsuit. She is young & it is different yet couture and works on her. I like her hair & makeup with it because they are simply & clean looking.
Love Kristin Wigg but what was she thinking with that collar???
That choker looks awful and cheap, like something you’d find for $7.99 at Claire’s. Why, Kristen, why?!
They all look terrible. The hair, the clothes. The worst hair is Maya Rudolph. I’ll see them get trashed tonight on Fashion Police, good for a laugh.
Seems that everything I wanted to say has been said…
Rose Byrne’s outfit is ok but the hair ruins any possibility of it being nice. And she just looks off.
Kristin Wiig’s outfit is very nice but the choker thing is awful! Why would someone think that it would be ok to wear such a clunky piece of crap around their neck with a halter? Duh!
Melissa looks very elegant and nice. I love her hair. Her hubby is adorable.
Rose looks like Anna Wintour (of Vogue). Terrible hair!
I love that jumper! I think it’s modern to see a woman who doesn’t need to wear an uncomfortable ball-gown to look elegant and stylish. What I don’t care for is her hair. It’s too Anna Wintour.
Melissa actually looks pretty good there. I normally hate everything that she wears.
Based on that top photo, Rose is morphing into Anna Wintour eek!….
I think Rose has to be my worst dressed at the SAGs. Just awful.
Kristen is a pretty woman and I LOVE her (I wish she would be in more romcoms instead of that talentless, no charisma Aniston), but she doesn’t look good here either. That choker is what kills the whole look I think. I wonder if she was trying to hide some ‘love bites’ or something lol.
Melissa looked cute! I like her dress, this one is much better than the GGs one.
Choker. Must be a gag- is so awful! I heart Byrne- she was one of my favourite TV heroines of all time in Damages (S1,2 and 3).
Rose Byrne’s jumpsuit looks good……..on a wedding reception. It’s not that it’s bad-looking, it looks too well put-together, so costumey, like a glitter version of Mia Wallace (Pulp Fiction). How’r u gonna pee, ma’am?
Ok I’m gunna say it, I actually like the jumpsuit! The hair is all bad though, her features are far too fine for such a structured style…she looks much better with a wispy or curly style.
Melissa McCarthy looks amazing though!!!
What ruins it…
1) Rose Byrne: it’s the Anna Wintour helmet head
2) Kristen Wiig: it’s the choker
3) Melissa McCarthy: I like it, too, though the length and the drapeyness of the part below the waist make it a little curtain-y
4) Maya Rudolph: is wearing the outfit for the sequel… Mothers of the Bride! (I’m copyrighting that)
Spot on.
I wonder if rose Byrne is sick; she looks a little unwell.
Kristin I love and her dress is nice actually but the choker is totally in the way.
Lol at the mother of the bride!!
I thought, “what has she done to herself?!” and then read, “this is the face of bangs trauma…” LMAO. *That* is why I return to this site.
As a border-line plus size girl (14 down from 16) I want to ask WHO THE H! is styling Melissa McCarthy! She wore the same or a similar tent to the GG and LORD I hope she finds something more flattering for the Oscars if she is going.
Look at Octavia Spencer…. that is a beautiful plus size woman. She looks sexy and hot on the red carpet. Mo’nique dresses well if you ignore her legs. Even Precious looked cuter.
I think the term “bangs trauma” has had its time, I hope it will soon be retired.
I like that Rose looked different to everyone else at the ceremony. I’m not sure it was a great look, but it definitely stood out and I give her kudos for that.
That hairstyle is so Kate Jackson (circa Charlies Angels). Unless it’s for a film role (excusable) What was her hairdresser thinking?
But her outfit is atrociously Eighties.
here’s my pov on fashion…wear what you like and if you have the stomach for it, take a fashion risk and prepare for the vicious criticism that might result …she had a designer outfit she wanted to wear and she did get over it
