Styled By JJ: Oscar De La Renta Tribute

All Things De La Renta

Jackie Kennedy in ODLR 1960

Jackie O, nothing to say but gorgeous darling gorgeous (in my best Zsa Zsa Gabor voice)

Kristin Stewart in ODLR Spring 2010

I'm not a fan of Kristen Stewart in this dress. Everything about the look rubs me the wrong way I mean come on, don't put on a gorgeous, romantic, ethereal dress and try to punk rocker it out.

Ok, let's get to what's really wrong with Kristen in this dress...starting with the hair. It just looks greasy and like she just woke up and ran her fingers through it. Not the elegance you would expect from someone in a de la Renta. Kristen's hair however is not the worst of what's happening here. Her choice of accessories is gasp worthy, is it just me or does seeing this make you guys also want to find her stylist and slap her/him?

The accessories very much seem to fit Kristen's personality and her personal style...which seems to be laid back, a little rocker-esque and awkward more often than not. And in this instance, these traits completely clash with the OSLR she's wearing. What really stands out though is Kristen's posture. The stiff, slouchy posture she has really makes her stand out in this dress and not in a good way.

The lesson here ladies... Always stand straight! head up and shoulders back. Project confidence, even if you don't feel it in that moment... FAKE IT!

If you are going to dress outside of your personal style, commit to it without losing yourself.

if Kristen lost the accessories and did something else with her hair (I'm not saying she should have done a fancy up do, because that totally would not be her) but say a sleek pony tail? With those simple changes she might have pulled this look off.
