Buried under a heap of sad, bedraggled chiffon is where you find might Famke Janssen. Wearing a teal blue John Galliano gown with emerald green bangles, Famke looked absolutely drab at the 2013 Critics Choice Awards.
First of all, there is too much going on with this dress. The mesh looks stupid, the ruffles look limp and dowdy, and the layers makes Famke look like a rag muffin. The ruffles down the front and the sparkly skirt looks especially ridiculous. I've seen better dresses sewn by the blind. I am hesitant to unleash all of my anger on the dress, though, because this gown looked fabulous on the runway. For the red carpet, however, this dress would look better if you cut the mesh out, left the ruffled neckline, and kept a plain blue skirt. You can't have it all, darling. It really is a shame that Famke couldn't pull this dress off, and she really shouldn't have insisted on trying. If you can't do the clothing justice, don't put it on your body.
In this case, it's good that Famke kept the jewelry to a minimum here. I'm not saying that because with the overpowering dress, heavy jewelry would have just been tawdry, which is true. The real reason is because of what little accessories Famke is wearing is already horrible enough. The emerald green bangles are so out in left field, it amazes me that they were paired with this gown. Honestly, from far away the bracelet looks like a hospital band. My guess is that it is from a mental hospital because she would have to be crazy to be stepping out on the red carpet wearing this outfit. With her recent severe loss of all taste in fashion, it's back to the doctor's office for you, Famke.
