1/1 Terrible Tuesday

ANNE HATHAWAY




She got rid of her hair and her sense of fashion must have went with it, or so it would seem judging by Anne Hathaway's most recent red carpet look. At the Les Miserables premiere in New York City, Anne Hathaway wore an all black Tom Ford silk gown with Tom Ford bondage boots. However, this outfit looked more like a costume rather than couture.

Perhaps she confused Christmas with Halloween? Or maybe she decided to have a fashion throwback with an inspired look from Blink-182's "I Miss You?" Either way, I think it can be agreed upon that this dress would only ever be acceptable on October 31. I must admit the front of the gown is kind of sexy with the form fitting silk, high neck, and slit up the leg. However, the billowing cape from the back has got to go. I just have this burning desire to take some scissors to the dress and cut the cape off of the back. After all, the cape is excessively horrid, and the dress makes Anne Hathaway look like a vampire bat.

Hathaway portrayed the prostitute, Fantine, in the film, but I think she should have left the bondage boots on set and kept them off of the red carpet. Not only are they tacky, but the combination of over-the-knee and kinky bondage straps makes too much of a statement in an already statement dress. What ever happened to the sweet, doe-eyed actress from The Princess Diaries? I think Hathaway would be better off going back to work at Runway in the Devil Wears Prada.

Between the Tom Ford dress and boots, it is hard to decide which one is worse. Hathaway's other red carpet looks for the premieres were, by far, much more acceptable, but this fashion hiccup is not one to be ignored. For her phenomenal role in Les Miserables, I believe this star should have chosen a more suitable look for the red carpet.
