It certainly caught my attention! I initially thought she had a brand name or something on the dress that had been 'fuzzed out' in red in 2 places ush:, so I couldn't work out what the heck was going on!! I couldn't take my eyes off it! Luckily I did work out the style of the outfit eventually, but it took a while!
I thought it was a pretty terrible choice for her. It didn't flatter her body, in fact, when she walked out, I had to do a few takes before I realized she wasn't pregnant.
I didn't like it when I saw her on stage. I think the "movement" of the dress made it unflattering to her. I think she looks a lot better in still photos.
The dress really did grow on me, too. It took a minute figure it out- I thought she had one of those cropped wrap cardigans on and had wrapped the ties around her waist. But the belted look was actually paneling in the dress itself. I was watching everything on the second tv (SO "needed" the big screen to play video games, as he was not as interested in watching as I was. But anyway, there's no HD on the second tv, so I thought that's why she looked pregnant to me, as non-HD tends to stretch people out.
not a good choice on the dress at all. I agree with the posts that I'm glad she didn't do the stuffy suit look and I think she has done pretty well, fashion wise, until now. ugh. Think of all the choices she could have had! Mourning or not, that doesn't make that dress OK on her.
