Horn-rimmed glasses are a great choice for many casual occasions. I can think of quite a few people who wear them very well. However, they tend to not pair them up with suits and ties – which is why Tim Daly’s appearance at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of ‘Poliwood’ just isn’t working.
I don’t particularly like the look of them on Tim in the first place, but when combined with a suit, the whole impact is just so much worse. Maybe he could pull them off on the weekend while reading the paper and sipping Starbucks in Soho. But here…it …read more

Maybe if Julianna Margulies had chosen to pair this dress with some heels, the whole thing wouldn’t look quite so droopy and sad. But flats were her decision for the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of City Island – along with black tights and the previously mentioned…droopy dress.
Indeed, the whole thing evokes Medieval Times. Like she is going to be serving turkey legs to obnoxious teenagers who insist on calling her ‘wench’ just because they can.
As much potential as there may have been, the whole outfit falls flat. Do over, Julianna.

Oh, Jeane. You didn’t stand a chance with this whole outfit, did you? I may be judging you from afar and well after the fact…but my goodness, there are a whole host of bad choices going on in this photograph.
Where did you get the idea that camouflage to the premiere of Good Guy was a good decision? Who told you lace-zip-up-camisoles (those words don’t belong together) would layer well with a choker-style halter top? And butterfly brooch.
Your red purse may have stood a chance on it’s own, but now it’s guilty by association and must suffer with the rest …read more

While I would hate to rush into any hasty conclusions, it is possible that I judged Sarah Jessica Parker rather harshly last week. What can I say…the sight of mutton chops makes me unreasonably angry.
While I remain disappointed in SJP’s outfit for Mary Stuart, the ensemble she has put together for the premiere of Wonderful World at the Tribeca Film Festival is much better. Best of all are those positively divine Christian Louboutin heels she has on. If there was ever any way two girls who couldn’t be more different might bond…it’s over Louboutins.
Yes indeed, SJP might still be able …read more

If you had a tendency to get nervous and uncomfortable around people, this might be the perfect dress for you to wear to a film premiere. Kate Nauta looks lovely at the world premiere of Good Guy at the Tribeca Film Festival, other than the large piece of fabric obstructing her décolletage.
Love the color, love the earrings, even a little smitten with the makeup decisions. But the lumpy shape of this dress brings the whole thing down and makes Kate look rounder in the middle than her tiny frame actually is.
Other than hiding from paparazzi like an ostrich in the …read more

Remember when Meg Ryan was all adorable and perfect romantic comedy/chick flick leading lady? We all laughed and rooted for her and those perky features and cute little blonde curls.
Those days appear to be long gone. Time has passed, a little nip and tuck applied, and now we have a new Meg Ryan.
Who wears men’s shoes to a film festival.
While standing next to her is a neatly put together Cheryl Hines (who I usually find obnoxious and whiny) at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of “Serious Moonlight”, Meg looks like a tired, shell of her old self. It’s not just …read more

I can see it now. Not how Patricia Clarkson fell for such an unattractive dress to wear to the ‘Whatever Works’ premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. But how this dress came to be in the first place.
A fashion student gets all flustered and conflicted about where to take the dress design. Everyone keeps saying ‘fringe’ but that seems so not what the dress needs although maybe if it was just added in patches that wouldn’t be such a bad and that would appease the class. Who says you can’t have the best of both worlds? It’s satin class and …read more

Is it so hard to pull yourself together for a dinner thrown by Chanel? I could see Bradley Cooper looking like this if he were headed out on a camping trip – but somehow he has joined in with Mary-Kate Olsen on the “let’s see just how homeless we could possibly look without someone asking us if we’re actually supposed to be on the list.” during the Tribeca Film Festival.
There is simply no excuse for the hair. Or the ugly blue parka. Or the extreme scruff. Unless you have just dragged yourself back to civilization after being stranded out in …read more

Sure, Diane. White parachute pants. Yeah, that was the right decision.
Of all things to wear to the Chanel Hosted Annual Dinner for the Tribeca Film Festival Artists Awards Program, this is probably the homeliest. Nevermind that Diane Kruger happens to be one of the most underrated, naturally radiant women out there. Don’t even mention that while Diane definitely doesn’t look her best here, for most women this outfit would be far worse and actual saddlebag suicide.
Formal pants just shouldn’t stop at the knees. Nor should they be poofy. And lastly…anything even remotely close to this should never…ever…be paired with a …read more

Why is it that Mary-Kate Olsen can’t seem to find clothes that fit? Here she is, a pretty young woman with more money than you could spend in a lifetime, at the opening night of the 8th Annual Tribeca Film Festival to see Woody Allen’s “Whatever Works” in an outfit that embodies the word “vagrant”.
And the shoes…you weigh about as much as a small child, Mary-Kate – so why is it that you can’t seem to hoist your tiny frame up onto some stilletos for a formal event? You wear massive heels with all sorts of schlubby clothes while running …read more
