From the annals of over-thought fashion


It pains me. You're a young, gorgeous, popular actress with a great face and body. And you want to wear clothes that stand out from the pack, show that you are into difficult, directional, interesting fashion. But instead you fall into the trap of over-complicated, over-thought, over-designed.

Like so:

Emma Stone in Rome in Valentino:

Interesting skirt, should have been paired with something decidedly less busy.
Terrible shirt, should not be worn unless its a 70s costume piece.

Or, like so, Emma Stone again, this time in Berlin in Erdem (a designer I usually like a lot):


Cape, red stones, black collar -- how many embellishments can one dress take???
