Marion Cotillard's Stylist Misses the Mark

February 25, 2008 Now, I like to think of myself as an optimist ... but sometimes you just can't see the good any situation.

Marion Cotillard's dress is one of those situations.

I'm sorry, I just don't get it.

Just off of the top of my head I think: wallpaper, shower curtain, snake scales, mermaid from Splash

And is it just me or do the women behind her in the picture seem to be laughing at her.

With all that dress going on I barely even noticed the 64 cts. t.w. champagne diamond briolette necklace or the 106 cts. t.w. light and dark brown diamond necklace that Cotillard was wearing. 

Not even Chopard could be noticed through all that print, folks. That says quite a bit about how much of a mis-step this dress was.

Okay, I don't want to get too down on the dress, let's just try to learn from this together and move on.

Join the conversation! 

Let us know what you would've worn on the red carpet.

Seriously, that woman in black bed sheets behind her has no business laughing at the fish-scale dress.

Whatever, Marion looks fabulous. Only someone with that gorgeous face, rich creamy complexion, and jet hair could have pulled off that dress and she did!

I like the dress. Marion carried it off well but I agree (assume) the stylist did not pair up the right jewellery..

The verdict is in: I HATED Marion's dress! The shape of it was lovely, I thought, but what the hell was with the "scales" pattern?? A nice, flared, mermaid hem can be quite flattering to some women (not me, too much junk in the trunk), but adding the scales is just. taking. it. too. far.

I was ambivalent to it. Best dress of the night was Jessica Alba; Amy Adams a close second. And Diablo Cody too.

She WOULD look beautiful in anything, but no woman SHOULD wear anything that you have to depend on your good looks to carry off.

I don't mind the bottom half of the dress, but a few friends that I had over to watch the awards all agreed that it looked like someone sprayed whipped cream around her bust just before she left the house. I wouldn't go that far, but it is the best thing that I've heard about the dress.

All of my friends loved this dress and all if them look at me like I'm crazy when I say it isn't for me. One even said "I love it, it is so French!" What does that even mean? Someone please fill me in.

DesignOptimist commented:

This may just be an industry rumor, but I think that it is shameful that Chopard pays people they feel are going to be awards winners to wear their jewelry to the Oscars. My husband thinks that it is comparable to paying both quarterbacks a retainer to say "I'm going to Disneyland" and then paying the one who actually wins and says it on air a higher fee. He may be right, but it is cold comfort for other designers who may need the exposure more than megabrands who have the extra cash. I think it is more like that classic payola situations of 50s radio. Sorry to go on and on, but it is a sore subject for me. Can you tell?

Even beautiful women sometimes make fashion faux pas...
Definitely something fishy about her choice of dresses!!

I just ran across this post now but if you think that was bad then you must have hated this year's Grammy dresses.
