I have to giggle just a bit at poor Amanda Seyfried at last night’s Critic’s Choice awards because, just a few days ago, the actress confessed that her publicist often tells her what dresses to wear on the red carpet. Amanda also added that she usually hates these selections, and the situation usually escalates into a fight, which is followed by Amanda quickly backing down, bucking up, and wearing whatever it is that she is told to wear.
Such is the case with this blue-black Marios Schwab gown that ran with the overrated “see through” lace look on the top with a drapey, crepey shirt that looked like blue seaweed settling around Amanda’s legs. Amanda truly looks like she does not like this dress at all, and I would almost feel sorry for her except that she needs to stand up for herself and make her own decisions on red carpet attire. The cut of this dress is so weird, and the fabric doesn’t settle well around the bust area, but that could be because Amanda is slouching in an attempt to rebel against the sheer awfulness of the dress. Honestly, the only good thing about her outfit are the Roger Vivier black, strappy heels, which isn’t saying much. Amanda does, however, pull off the dramatic eye makeup and gorgeous bun (she has such a great face shape) quite well.
Leslie Mann looked like a Pepto Bismol nightmare on the red carpet last night. This carnation pink dress by Honor had an offbeat, kicky silhouette with a fitted top over a bubble-shaped skirt, but Leslie doesn’t really have the pluckiness to pull this look off in any color, save for black. Her flat-ironed hair, while gorgeous enough on its own, seemed an odd choice for such a young-looking dress. This was definitely one of the worst looks of the evening.
Emmy Rossum looks amazing here. I actually like this midnight blue, star-themed dress! This is a Carolina Herrera gown, and even though I’m not usually much for hugely ornate, overly embellished details, this dress just looked like a dream on Emmy. The gown itself moved beautifully, and I love the star-printed overlay over the whole dress and the way the belt emphasized Emmy’s tiny waist. Her makeup looked a little bit waxy, but the hair was just romantic enough to be perfect.
Eva Longoria wore this Monique Lhuillier “hourglass” gown, and I have to say that this dress looks like raspberry-colored crepe paper glued over what would otherwise be an uneventful, shapeless flow of fabric. There’s something about the cut of the high-neck/collar area that bugs, but I can’t put my finger on it. I also think she Eva could have gone with a bolder lip color and played down the eye makeup just a bit.
Molly Sims did herself no favors with this drapey, tent-like dress at all. While I ordinarily would give her a break because she just gave birth early last summer, Molly has been pimping a bunch of workout videos from her fraud trainer, Tracy Anderson. So why did Molly choose to wear an ugly, unflattering tent on the red carpet? Her hair looks lovely, but the makeup is way too severe and clownlike.

Amanda’s look was FUG. Not as Fug as Famke Janssen, but definitely still fug.
I hated the bubblegum colour on Leslie.
I loved Emmy’s dress when she walked on stage, however when looking through the red carpet pics, I hate the moon and star details. I think it makes it look kind of cheap.
Eva Longoria looks ok.
And I think Molly Sims looks ok as well.
Emmy looks fantastic. The rest are meh at best but Amanda is downright fug. I don’t get it with this girl.
Agreed. Emmas looks very classy, but Amanda is just another Emma Stone or vice versa. I don’t get the fascination here, they are both odd looking to me.
I don’t hate it, actually. The dress does look a bit low-pricey, but the colours suit her, at least, and her make-up was pretty.
The hair is like draped gold. Such a pretty bun.
Eva looks like a Kartrashian
+1 That was my first thought exactly! NOT a flattering comparison in any way~
Love Emmy’s except for the stars on the shoulders. Don’t care for Amanda’s.
Eva’s would have been fine without all the fabric folds, that’s just weird and not at all flattering. Molly’s looks like a Mrs. Roper.
LOL, Leslie’s made me think “you look like a pink nightmare!” from a Christmas Story.
Euugghh I’m not feeling any of these dresses. Leslie Mann, who I very much like, is the worst offender.
Much like a woman can be a Monet, I think Eva is an O’Keeffe.
That is a very eloquent way of putting it. I was going to straight-up call it a labia dress.
annabelle – I love the elegance of your spot on analysis. Margot Asquith would be proud of you.
I am sorry but Eva Longoria’s dress looks like a who-ha, a Brittany, a biscuit, a Vajj…However you identify it.
If Amanda doesn’t have a say in the dresses she wears then it’s no wonder she looks miserable!
I like Emmy’s dress, partly because I’m interested in constellations. However others might find it cheap and tacky. I don’t like the stars though, it’s a bit of an overkill.
Am I the only one who thinks Eva’s dress looks like a giant vulva…?
Nope look up a couple of comments. I am right there with you
Amanda’s eyeliner is to heavy but other than that I like her look.
I love how Molly Sims hasn’t lost her babyweight in a hot minute like she intended to do. The shitstorm of advises she gave during her pregnancy was really getting on my nerves.
Amanda Seyfried this dress and your story Reminds me of Lainey saying a few years back that this girl has a SERIOUS Publicist problem, something about their attitude and how they prep people for her
Leslie Mann’s dress was meant for her daughter Right?…i Mean.. Right?!
Why and WHO and How is Eva Longoria still showing up to things fronting like she is a biggie star?
Amanda appears to have ice skated to the event.
Was Amanda on nomination or not?
I think she was up for Best Cast, but thats about it.
I adore amanda but that dress is a tragedy.
Her publicist tells her what to wear and if she doesn’t want to wear what was picked out for her they get into an argument. Well I guess they got into one that night and that’s the awful mess her publicist picked in retaliation. Amanda fire your publicist.
On the other hand for some reason I find her pretty; not your typical pretty. I guess her unique look is what does it for me.
Emmy is just so beautiful. I see why Chris Evans dated her. In the close up of that side profile pic she looks a little like Minka Kelly.
Amanda Seyfried grew on me last night when I finally read the InStyle feature on her. She’s candid, funny and imperfect. The dress isn’t great but I would beg to differ abut the shoes. If these are RV they’re probably between $1,000 and $2000 dollars and this is a crime IMO. They do not fit properly (her toes are hanging over the edge a la Jessica) and the strappy, silky look is somewhere between stripper and wedding style. I am OVER heels like this. A nice (perhaps Louboutin) classic black leather closed-toe pump without a 3 to 4 inch platform (!!) maybe could have redeemed this dress. She should fire her stylist or her publicist.
OOF, poor molly simms looks like a drag queen. Awful.
None of these dresses are that attractive, let alone impressive in the least. While Emmy looks prettiest out of the group, I think this look is too princessy/youthful for her. And with the Hobby Lobby stars all over it, it’s just too much. Girl is in her 30s, need something a bit more sophisticated..Leslie, Amanda, the purple tent..cant even go there.
Since when is 26 ‘thirties’?
Emmy is Keira Knightley’s missing sister or something?
Why is no one complaining about Amanda’s posture.
I kinda like Amanda’s dress. I think she pulls it off although she does look miserable.
Emmy looks so so beautiful…love the dress.
And Wtf was Leslie thinking!?!?
Amanda is so beautiful but needs a major fashion intervention or a new publicist.
I sort of like Leslie Mann’s dress. Her shoes ruin it for me.
Emmy’s dress is ok but I hate the star and moon appliques (or pins?) – they look cheap.
Okay, now that I’ve read all the comments about Eva’s vagina dress I can’t un-see it. But didn’t like it before anyhow.
I actually like Amanda’s dress best out of the bunch. I like the top although the middle section looks off. It would definitely be better without the slit too but the color is amazing and her hair and make-up look great.
Ha??? The star dress is most beautiful by far.
I didn’t need to read anyone else’s comments. When I saw Eva’s dress I searches this page fir vagina so I could comment on the obvious vaginaness in the correct place!
Emmy Rossum’s dress it’s so pretty *.* I loved it.
Does anyone else look at Eva Longoria’s dress and think “vagina”? Just me?
My bad. I should have read all the comments first. I saw Eva’s dress, thought “vag,” and then went directly to post. So I’m NOT the only one. Good to know.
this is making me think molly is pregnant again! why else would she wear this dress?
Blech… there’s a mother-of-the-bride vibe to Amanda’s dress. She used to look so cute just a few years ago… back when her clothes and hair were age appropriate. Now they’re trying to make her into a SERIOUS actress and the get-ups just fall flat. Publicist needs to back off and get a hip, young stylist involved.
Amanda’s publicist is an asshole and needs to be fired. Everyone looks terrible (except Emmy).
Amanda is a really really beautiful girl. Crazy.
Does Ms. Mann have hip problems, feet problems? She looks way too old (as in non adolescent) to have that dumb pigeon toed look.
Although Amanda’s dress is a miss, her make up and hair – GORGEOUS. She looks red carpet ready, something I’ve noticed a lot of other attendees lacked in their looks.
Emmy’s dress is beautiful. It is a nice colour on her and it gives her a lovely silhouette, but I wish she had done without the stars. It makes the elegant gown seem tacky.
Leslie, Molly and Eva – NO.
Amanda is really unattractive. She’s lost so much weight. I saw her side profile while she sat at one of those tables during the awards and she looked like a witch.
Leslie Mann is a beautiful woman but the dress and shoes are a little high schoolish. I guess that is what happens Life After 40.
Molly Sims – Not interested.
Eva Longoria – Nothing different. Same look as always. Dark blackened smokey eyes and nude lip. Blaahhhh
