I just felt an unfamiliar pang of pity for Jessica Biel as I was going through these photos. Jessica is in New York now, promoting Total Recall… all by herself. Last night was the NYC premiere, and Jessica was the only headlining star to show up. No Colin Farrell, no Kate Beckinsale, not even John Cho. Just poor Jessica in her sad white, lace dress. She looks like Miss Havisham. This Elie Saab just screams “bridal!” to me… and it’s a sad look. Check out the original runway look with sleeves – wouldn’t that have looked much better on Jessica? It still would have been bridal, but at least it would have looked designer bridal and not David’s Bridal. That doily wrap isn’t helping either. She was aiming for “breezy, summery” and she ended up looking like she was the jilted, forgotten bride at a budget beach wedding.
Jessica is still sticking with her story that she and Justin haven’t even set a date for their wedding, by the way. There were lots of rumors that it would be this summer, very soon, like mid to late August. And the tabloids are keeping the hope alive that it will happen soon, because if not, they might run out of these “Sad Jessica Biel” stories:
Before Jessica Biel becomes Mrs. Justin Timberlake, she’s hitting some snags in planning her bachelorette party. Namely, that she doesn’t have anyone to invite.
“Jessica doesn’t have a lot of girlfriends,” says an insider. “Her plan right now is to fly to Colorado and meet up with a group of her hometown friends.”
Meanwhile, her hubby-to-be is planning a bachelor party that a source reveals is “going to make The Hangover look like Driving Miss Daisy.”

Jessica doesn’t have a lot of girlfriends? On one side, I think that claim is BS – she’s friends with Jennifer Garner, and Jessica does charity work with a lot of women from Revlon, plus some other charitable organizations she’s involved with. On the other side… I could totally see how Jessica would end up alienating long-term girlfriends because A) Justin tried to sleep with them, B) Justin actually slept with them, C) Jessica thinks that Justin might sleep with them or D) Jessica talks about Justin too much and her girlfriends are tired of the same neverending conversation.
I’m also including a photo of Jessica in brown and black Giambattista Valli outside The Daily Show yesterday. I’m not a huge fan, but I like it better than the Elie Saab doily.

This poor girl cannot dress herself.
Oh, right. Justin cannot dress her.
Her hair is a mess. Both dresses are a mess.
She has a stylist for red carpet events her name is Estée she’s had her for years.
fire this stylist already, Jessica!!just dreadful choices for every event! and those bangs, that hairstyle…uggh. it seems even worse ever since she’s been with JT, she’s lost every bit of her edge :-/
She’s never had any edge she’s always been bland.
Right on Erinn. Justin must be saving the best looks for his mistresses
Those bangs are so traumatic, even trimmed like that. The dress looks like a wilted flower or my
Grandmothers table cloth. Why does she insist in wearing such matronly unflattering clothing is beyond me when she has a body mos women covet?? She just doesn’t get fashion at all…not visually, no lines, not for her body and certainly not color choices. I am terrified to see her at her wedding!!!
I love the shoes she’s wearing w/ that lace monstrosity. 🙂
The white dress looks like it could be a maternity dress. The fit on the stomach and hips is terrible. I like the shoes. Am I being too critical or does this movie look like it will suck? I’m expecting it to bomb. Colin makes bad movie choices.
31% on rotten tomatoes, unfortunately. It doesn’t look good, sorry for Colin Farrell.
I also thought that this dress would be a pretty maternity dress. Without the shawl. Why the shawl, why?
That brown dress is nice I think.
But this girl can not dress herself (or her stylist can’t dress her) to save her life.
Also-way to go flashing your engagement ring in every shot and pose. Justin is no great prize.
I was thinking the exact same thing about the ring. She has to make sure it’s in every shot!
That dress was beautiful with the sleeves. I’m going to be really pissed if they suddenly start making wedding dresses with sleeves again. I just got married in May and it was IMPOSSIBLE to find a dress with sleeves. And I wanted one desperately.
I get the feeling she’s been trying to pull of the hipster vibe, like Zoe Deschanel, but Jessica is just too fit???? looking to pull off the demure girl writing songs and going for walks on dusty lanes look. She’s got an amazing body and should show it off in more body concious dresses. Bangs need to go.
*sighs* 🙄
My own wedding dress was actually from David’s Bridal. The “bones” were beautiful and similar to a designer gown I saw in a magazine (in terms of style and appearance of material quality.) I had the neckline altered into a sweetheart and received so many compliments. People thought I was making a mean joke when I said it was from David’s. My point is…money can’t buy taste!
I’ve always wondered if these girls have the ability to veto what their stylists or brand sponsors suggest?
There is NOTHING wrong with David’s Bridal and I’m sure you looked beautiful. Not everyone (including myself) can afford a Vera Wang.
Thank you for sticking up for David’s Bridal! I’m so tired of hearing people run it down. My wedding dress is from there. I can’t afford to spend the amount of money like Goop would suggest…plus, I’m wearing the dress only once. I love it though!
Can you imagine how tragic her wedding styling will be?
oh Jessica, why the bangs?!?
In the pics that were posted yesterday, she had them “side-swept”-I assumed she was growing them out. Now they’re back again??? WTF?
Back again with a trim nonetheless! Argh! She clearly lives in a house without mirrors and a lot of yes people!
I know! Her hair looked so much better side swept I think..
I think she looks much better than the runway model wearing the dress does, but, yeah – poor choice. It wouldn’t even be OK in a different color, b/c as a prior poster said, the fit at the hips/stomach is terrible. I think her face looks good though in the first pic – good hair and makeup. I don’t have bangs myself, but I’m not as anti-bangs as some here are. And I actually really like the animal print dress on her, and I normally despise animal prints.
She’s having really bad luck with dresses this year. But both of these are better than that horrid pink dress.
Yes but…how can you have “bad luck” with dresses, though?
You can have bad luck with a new car if it turns out to be a lemon, but there are no surprises with a dress. It’s a dress. You put it on and there it is – it’s not like problems with the transmission show up three months later.
New theory: either her stylist secretly hates her, or Justin is dressing her up like a dork on purpose so that nobody else will be interested in her.
Again, with the frilly dresses? Just stop trying to make this happen, Jessica. You CANNOT pull this look off.
As far as not having a lot of female friends, I sort of believe it. I don’t think it has anything to do with Justin-she just seems like a sporty tomboy who probably gets along really well with dudes. Most of my close friends are guys too-mainly because I grew up with a big brother I was really close to and I was quite a tomboy myself.
This woman’s body is ba-na-nas (via rachel zoe). My body inspo for sure
I think the runway dress is way better, very elegant. The sleeves off and shawl or whatever looks budget a bit. If her hair was up that would have helped too.
Also she should not wear frilly things. She has a more athletic body and to me she looks better in structured clothing.
I completely agree. The runway look was great!
Before Ashley Greene I thought Biel had the worst nose job in the movies. It’s so obvious it drove me nuts in THE ILLUSIONIST. I believed that everyone else was in the correct period except for Biel and her damn nose job.
THANK you! That drives me nuts, also . . . when actors do period movies but are sporting very modern noses, lips, etc. due to plastic surgery. It throws the whole thing off!
It looks like she is trying to incite baby-bump speculation.
I don’t mind the bangs. It’s just a different look. It gets boring having the same hairstyle all the time. In a few months she’ll probably be on to something else.
She’s attractive, no great beauty, but she has nice eyes and a pretty mouth. The dress is not flattering.
The bangs are absolutely terrible. Her hair looks dirty and I want to reach through my screen & push the wave off of her right eye. The dress on the first picture makes her look pregnant.
Fashion aside – where’s her fiancé?! She was the only star there, why wouldn’t he jet up from PR to accompany her? It goes beyond “letting her have her moment” into the appearance of a major problem. I know Biel wants that wedding like Olympic gold, but I don’t think they’ll ever make it down the aisle.
What happened to her? Wasn’t she previously a ‘bad girl’ with a somewhat promising career? I never really paid too much attention to her but that’s what I remembered of her from a few years back.
Now it just seems like she clings to JT and talks about all of the roles she’s been passed on.
she has the most unfortunate taste in fashion…… really dreadful! That pink thing she’s wearing on dlisted? UGH! I think it’s on backwards…..
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Her face looks sorta horsey here. Maybe we should all stop expecting her to look good and accept that this is how she’ll always look, lol. One outfit after another just terrible. Wow.
I just don’t get it! How can somebody so pretty try so hard to look fug?
as i said before no class, no style. Beauty yes. As Elisabeth Taylor before her.
Why is it that Justin never accompanies her to these types of events? Am I the only one who can’t remember the last time they were photographed together?? I don’t browse gossip sites and magazines every day so maybe I’m wrong. Have they been seen together recently? And they’re supposed to be engaged, I find it very odd. Maybe Justin trying to be all Chris Martin. He’s too cool of a musician to go to her events.
First, Justin is not a musician anymore. Second, Jessica likes to pretend that she is a star who doesn’t need him to boost her popularity. Finally, Justin could care less about Jessica’s interests. If there’s nothing in it for him, it doesn’t exist.
he’s filming a movie in puerto rico, but he never really goes to her events.
She is pretty and has an amazing body. But she just is not the high-fashion girl she keeps trying to be. If she dressed more sporty/cute, it’d suit her so much better.
Doily fug indeed! And that other animal print dress… gawd, words escape me. Somebody please get this girl a decent stylist!!! I shudder to think of what the wedding dress will look like….
My God, she is tragic.
Justin must have dressed h er again.
