Gwen Stefani’s drag queen irrelevance in Armani: WTF?

wenn3354820

I know we’ve been doing a lot of fashion posts from the Cannes Film Festival, and if you’ve been getting bored, I apologize. The festival ended on Sunday, so these are some of the last pics we’re going to do. These are photos of Gwne Stefani at the Friday premiere of This Must Be The Place, that Sean Penn film where he looks like Robert Smith. I just wanted to do these photos separately from everything else so we could concentrate on everything that’s wrong with Gwen.

First of all, her appearance. The gown is Armani Prive. The makeup is clown college, I suppose. The dress in and of itself is kind of tacky. I generally dislike these kinds of “boob cutouts” and any kind of “breast bow” situation, so there’s a lot for me to dislike here, style-wise. But the makeup takes the whole look to another level. WTF is Gwen’s problem? Who is doing her makeup? Who hates her this much? Is she doing it herself? Because honestly, this looks a homemade makeup disaster. This is the kind of makeup job one drunk girl gives her equally drunk friend when they’re about to go out clubbing for the night.

But the biggest problem I have with this is the WHY of it all. WHY is Gwen walking all of these red carpets in Cannes? Does she literally have nothing better to do? She was one an It Girl, somebody with a career. Now she acts like her full-time job is posing on red carpets and pap’ing her family. It’s all getting really tacky.

    I would actually like the dress on someone with a bit more boobage, and better posture.

    But the makeup is scary!!!

  2. searching4grace says:

    I used to think she was really awesome, but in these pictures..wow. Could somebody do a side by side with Heidi Montag with these pictures? Because that face…wow.

  3. really says:

    well her husband does like it shemale style……….. she is just keeping her husband by giving him THE DRAG QUEEN.

  4. teehee says:

    I love Gwen, but this is not a good dress and not good makeup. Still there is something refreshing about her and she is naturally very beautiful. I still envy her nonetheless 😉

  5. Carolyn says:

    OMG that awful dress can’t be Armani. How could she have walked out the door thinking she looked good – that makeup is scary. The irony is, Gwen actually looks good with natural makeup. No more clownface!

  6. steffi says:

    well she is there because she’s one of the faces of L’Oréal and since L’Oréal is one of the main sponsors of Cannes they all have to be present…

  7. Mu says:

    She’s there, because L’Oreal is a major sponsor/partner of the festival and Gwen is one of their top endorsers.

  8. You don't say says:

    Her posture is just dreadful. She has not looked all that good in any of her outfits and her make-up choices are too over the top to me. Trying way too hard and the way she stands and then walks gives me a back-ache.

  9. vickie says:

    if l’oreal is doing/approving this hair and makeup i am afraid i will never be able to buy their products again. beyond ridiculous.

  10. eva says:

    I dunno, I kind of like the dress and the make-up. Her make-up is flawlessly blended and matched to the rest of her skin for it to look like that out in the natural light. Usually with makeup that heavy and a white dress, the face and body skin are mismatched. My favorite picture is the one where she’s smiling and her teeth show.

    @Mu – thanks for explaining that. I couldn’t figure out why she was in so many photo ops at Cannes. Makes sense.

  11. Hanna says:

    She’s there as a face of L’oreal. L’oreal sends a delegate from a few countries. That’s why Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale is/was always at the Cannes too.

  12. tapioca says:

    Sure it’s all very “Cruella De Ville”, but she’s frickin’ Gwen Stefani, so I think she (just about) pulls it off! What I want to know is how she’s never pictured with visible roots when her hair is naturally brunette? Either it’s a very realistic wig or she kips with her head in a bucket of Feria.

  13. tracking says:

    I’ve always found her style to be fresh and sexy, but she’s been missing the mark quite a bit lately. And the makeup–usually a positive signature–has indeed been awful. Something seems off with her in general.

  14. TJ says:

    I’m not sure which is worse: her posture or her scary makeup. Both are going to give me bad dreams tonight. She seems nice and is naturally a pretty woman, but she must not have any friends. What ‘friend’ would let you leave home like that? I’m ready to start the countdown to when Gwen and Christina Aguillera lose the dayshift hooker blond dye jobs and the “I just kissed Ronald McDonald” lipstick. Both are hideous.

  15. Jez says:

    FYI she’s there cause she’s a L’Oreal spokesperson. All their models/reps walk the red carpets at Cannes (Eva Longoria, Aishwarya Rai, Freida Pinto, the models)

  16. Shay says:

    Gwen has reached a point (or hit the wall) where she is becoming ridiculous. It’s like she is stuck in a time warp. How did she apply that makeup? With a trowel?

  17. kasper says:

    Her sense of style has always been comically bad – remember the red bindi on her forehead? But she’s another one of these celebrities that we are supposed to believe designs her own fashion line.

  18. khaveman says:

    The dress doesn’t seem to fit and she has completely overworked the makeup — the hair? Fried.

  19. Hautie says:

    Again, I will have to be the b*tch and say it.

    No female over the age of 25 has any business wearing glitter/heavy frosted eye-shadows… eye liners… etc.

    You do not look “happen” or “edgy”. It just makes your eyes look old and haggard.

    And there is no exception to that rule.

    Sadly, to make it all tragic. Her fake lashes are even all gunked up.

  20. Jackson says:

    Doesn’t she always wear too much makeup? It seems every time I see a pic of her she looks completely overdone. I kind of put her in the Christina Aguilera makeup category.

  21. LindyLou says:

    Clown college makeup is an apt description for this mess. I can’t believe L’Oreal let her out of the trailer with that face.

  22. mln76 says:

    @Jez thanks for the info I bet its killing Eva Longoria that she hasn’t got photoged half as much as Gwen during Cannes…

  23. You don't say says:

    If how she looks is supposed to represent L’Oreal, then they should re-think her contract. She can be very beautiful and the ads are beautiful, but this past week has been just awful.

  24. Amea says:

    WHOA – her publicist needs to BURN that next-to-last picture. Good gracious.

  25. GeekChic says:

    Why does she do that Paris Hilton pose where they lean over backwards to the point that they’re nearly in a backbend? It looks absolutely ridiculous.

  26. Tiffany says:

    This might be the worst she has ever looked. Horrid makeup, and bloodshot eyes. Smoking the ganga before the carpet?
    Anyway, that dress does NOT fit her at all. It’s huge on her in the bust and back because you can see gaps everywhere. The bodice looks about .5 inches too big around and it’s flapping off her back. Stylist anyone?

  27. Heather says:

    Awful bulk-adding dress. Love the shoes, but the makeup is way too tarted-up.

  28. Annaloo says:

    Not her best look.

  29. girl says:

    That boob situation reminds me of something out of Total Recall or some movie like that.

  30. Crash2GO2 says:

    Holy clown makeup Batman!! And there she goes again with the dreadful leaning all over the place. Ack!

  31. original kate says:

    gwen always looks like the spackle fairy slapped some makeup on her while she was sleeping, and then 8 hours later she rolled out of bed, pinned up her damaged hay hair and went to the red carpet.

  32. RHONYC says:

    she looks like Dr. Frankenfurter from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    either she needs to stop drinking b4 being photogged or she needs to stop fightin’ & cryin’ with her hubby to not get bloodshot eyes.

    Gwennie needs some Visine like, stat! 🙁

  33. Slim Charles says:

    @Hautie – I agree! no glitter and heavy eyeliner over 25. Can we add to that clunky platform shoes? That is a look for very young girls.
    I like her look. I mean, it’s a contrived look and it works on her, even though the clumpy lashes gotta go.

  34. futureperfect says:

    Her makeup clearly doesn’t like her, her eyeballs are bleeding. But that could also be an allergic reaction to that unfortunate dress.

  35. PrettyLights says:

    Ew, she’s a naturally beautiful woman but the last few times I’ve seen pics of her with the horrible drag makeup and the leaning so far back she looks so bad. I was also always taught that you either do the dark smoky eyes or the red lipstick – never both because this is what you wind up looking like!

  36. Kim says:

    AWFUL! The hair, makeup, dress – awful from head to toe.

  37. Mary Jane says:

    Although I love her eye makeup (on some tranny diva or when I’m wanting to look whorey), this whole look is wrong for Gwen. With her colouring, the LAST thing she should be wearing is white… Considering she has “a line,” she always seems poorly styled (I was going to say “dressed,” but people like that don’t just get dressed).
    P.S. Can we get the Xtina lips to stop, pleeeaaassseee…

  38. moptop says:

    Bless her heart, she looks more like a drag queen every year. I know it’s because her husband was in a relationship with *forgot his/her name* but it still makes me sad. She was precious before she started all this awful makeup. 🙁

  39. Jess says:

    RHONYC, you took the words right of my mouth. I took one look at these and the first image to pop into my head was Dr. Frankenfurter, too.

  40. Sumodo1 says:

    That dress doesn’t fit. And, her makeup must have been done by the Mary-Kay lady in Cannes.

  41. jemshoes says:

    Clown makeup IS Gwen’s M.O. 😀 Like I’ve said in previous posts about Gwen’s look, I guess I’m just used to seeing her this way! She doesn’t look bad, but she has looked better.

  42. truth says:

    She’s soo pretty not trying to put her down but her and Christina Aguilera need a serious makeover because the two of them year after year have been trying to be Marilyn Monroe soo bad they can’t find a better look.We only have Marilyn Monroe and she’s hard to beat.I get tired of seeing the platinum hair and red lipstick on those two ,like can’t they try a new haircolor red,brown,black or a new lipcolor? or some new poses not like Marilyn everytime we see them.
