However…

Something very, very wrong happened here. Somehow on her way to a Fashion Week show her dress became mangled and she was left with no choice but to create a dress out of a Hefty bag. Pity, huh?

Thankfully, she accessorized her, um, dress, but unfortunately, the shoes were another miss. Just what in the hell is the fascination with these things? Seriously, I need to know. Hoof covers like these turn up way too often, and they’re still ugly as ever. Blech.

Overall, I am crazy disappointed in this look. Kate has looked so much better so many times. Why the eff up now, I wonder? At Fashion Week no less.

Whatever. Let’s just all pray she gets some better ideas from one of the shows. Oy, let’s pray…

Look how gorgeous model Christie Brinkley looks at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. She was doing an interview with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush and stopped to pose for a few pictures.

Christie is proof that there are some women in this world who are timeless beauties, but she has said before that she takes very good care of herself. Although timeless beauty can definitely be hereditary, most of the time you have to work at it a little and make sure you take very good care of yourself!
