Rumer Willis’s unfortunate ensemble: meh or tragic?

62775pcn_rumer01

These are photos of Rumer Willis out clubbing two nights ago in LA. I think she was on her way out of or in to Teddy’s, a frequent hotspot for the young and the cracked-out. There are several things that disappoint me about these photos, but I should start out by saying that at least this wasn’t a formal red carpet. This is not how Rumer presents herself as a professional, or how she presents herself when she knows she’s going to be photographed. No, this is how she dresses when she hanging out with friends, getting wasted, being young, etc. I have no problem with her partying – from what I can see, she’s not a club-rat, and she does seem to have a close circle of genuine friends rather than enablers. She’s not Linnocent in that respect.

But this is how she dresses for a fun night. Booty shorts, a Van Halen shirt and… some kind of slouchy, Ugg-style boots? And her HAIR. She’s had those ugly-ass extensions in for too long, and they look so gross! The Rihanna-esque hair color isn’t helping either. I know she’s young and now is the time for her to experiment with hair colors and styles and clothes… but it just feels like Rumer is absolutely clueless about what works on her.

    The boots need to go.

    Dreadful! I hope that’s her nose ring hanging loosely in her nostril…

  3. Belle Epoch says:

    The shorts need to go.

  4. caitlin'smommy says:

    wow. Is she bloated or something? She looks so much more potato-headed in these shots then in others.

  5. Eve says:

    Damn, that is one big chin.

  6. brin says:

    LMAO (sorry)!!!!!

  7. Jezi says:

    I don’t like critiquing a person’s physical appearance because that can’t be helped, so I will pick apart the ensemble instead…WTF????? That’s how she goes clubbing? What happened to at least trying to look put together? So many wrong things…too much to write.

  8. Rita says:

    “Rumer Willis’s unfortunate ensemble”

    Ensemble- A unit or group of complementary parts that contribute to a single effect.

    In this case, I suppose a mass grave could be considered and “ensemble”.

  9. Hellen says:

    Hard to beleive but that chine looks worse in profile than it does head-on.

    And what is she carrying that look-alike Hermes Victoria bag that is making it sag like that? It can’t be real, it looks like pleather.

  10. yepp says:

    @charlotte, I thought she had a booger!

  11. Kaboom says:

    Everything that distracts from her face is a plus, unfortunately.

  12. Susan says:

    While Bruce and Demi are both gorgeous individuals, their DNA mixed does not make the best looking of humans….However, Potato Head looks better here then usual…

  13. the original bellaluna says:

    Oh, honey. Someone needs to take gf by the hand and show her how it’s done. *raises hand* I volunteer!

    (Apparently I’ve missed one of my great callings in life: to help those afflicted with a deficit in fashion sense learn how to dress for their bodies.)

  14. Mari says:

    Just…just how can someone’s actual FACE be that big. My brain refuses to believe it. Like it’s an optical illusion…if you get real close and cross your eyes you can see the entire solar system in 3D.

  15. Eve says:

    @ Jezi:

    You’re right about not being fair to criticize one’s physical appearance because that can’t be changed (or it can, but shouldn’t just because of the opinion of others). But I couldn’t help it. Sorry.

    And I was *thisclose* to actually type “The face needs to go” following the style of the first and third comments posted.

    P.S.: Maybe I’m especially bitchy today because of a HGF related craving.

  16. mariangela says:

    I will never understand how people with so much money can dress and look like absolute poor people. I mean if I had loads of money I would wear better clothes and have much better hair.

    I last visited a hairdresser a year ago and my hair looks a lot better than the rat on her head.

    Haha money is wasted on those that have no style it seems.

  17. dorothy says:

    She is our next Lohan.

  18. girlindisguise says:

    Ms. Potato Head rides again!

  19. malachais says:

    I love the shirt, but the weird shorts and ugly boots need to go. She actually doesn’t look terrible here.

  20. 4Real says:

    That outfit should have never left the house.

  21. BeckyR says:

    Homely. Very, very homely.

  22. kieslowski says:

    I too agree that it sucks to critique someones physical appearance, but seriously this one of the most unphotogenic people have ever seen, the fact that she is trying to be an actress is just ridiculous.

    And I know that yu do not have to be beautiful to be an actor, but you have to at least be photogenic.

  23. kari says:

    does anyone notice her fuller lips? me thinks someone has had some injections!

  24. Tiffany says:

    The whole ensemble, face included is tragic. Sorry to be mean, but that is the butterface to end all butterpotato-heads.

  25. Rita says:

    @bellaluna

    Please post your consulting rates…I need help.

  26. ladybert62 says:

    If she took care of her hair and got a decent cut and style it would help her face – the attention needs to be directed away from that chin. Long hair make a long chin look even longer in my opinion.

  27. carrie says:

    i have the same look-alike tee-shirt

  28. Ron says:

    She looks like most girls her age here. Nothing unusual.

  29. imabrat says:

    Well, she obviously doesn’t dress for success, or for attention for that matter. I say it’s all good, who does she have to impress?

  30. Violet says:

    The reality is that if you’re not attractive, it’s even more important to make an effort to dress well — especially in Hollywood!

  31. Jezi says:

    @Eve hahaha! I may not to it but that shouldn’t stop anyone from doing it & your post is hysterical.

  32. Jackson says:

    Ohhh. How very…..interesting.

    I will try to be kind and not criticize her for how she looks when she’s just hanging out and not trying to be a model or an actress….or someone who thinks she’s a model or an actress.

  33. Eve says:

    @ Jezi:

    It’s all right then.

    You know, I usually avoid criticizing a woman’s appearance, at least on internet boards. I try to find something nice to say but there are two celebrities whose faces I really can’t say anything nice about: Rumer Willis and Tori Spelling.

    P.S.: I can’t wait anymore for today Hot Guys post. The internet connection here seems to be on its own quest to drive me insane.

  34. dvz says:

    I can only guess she’s been waiting until she’s completely finished growing to get a chin / jaw reduction (Not an easy surgery either.) Wise move because it is noticeably larger than even a year ago. If you get it too early you can have problems.

    All she needs really is that one procedure to balance her face out.

    Doubt there is a surgical procedure to instill talent, however.

  35. fabchick says:

    Bless her heart. (everyone from the south knows what it means when someone says that lol)

  36. Turtle Dove says:

    Out of all the Moore/Willis girls, Rumor has the nicest figure and she maintains it well.

    West coast style is far more casual than in other parts of the country, and often times people who come from money (and she does… let’s not forget that Demi was the first $20 mil. female paycheck and Bruce… well.. biggest 80s star) don’t always put on the dog when they go out.

    I think she looks casual and cute. Nothing wrong with her outfit at all.

  37. Lisa says:

    What’s the big deal? She’s young and she just wants to hang out. This outfit would be fine in my California town too. She just wants to be a kid and have fun. I think she looks better when she doesn’t try,actually.

  38. Audrey says:

    I find it funny how we are the first to bitch about the music producers that allegedly told Adele that she needs to lose weight (which is something Adele can control) but we have no problems criticizing someone because she has a unique feature over which she has no control.

  39. original kate says:

    @ eve: i can’t harsh on the girl for her face-she can’t help it- but that outfit is doing her no favors.

    however, someone like tori spelling i can harsh on because her hideousness is not natural; she actually paid for that face & those godawful boobs.

  40. jen says:

    Awww bless her little potato head heart.

  41. fannomore says:

    wtf? there’s no reason to look like that…meh

  42. the original bellaluna says:

    @ Rita – For you? Whatever you bring to the Crack Tailgates Extraordinaire is fine with me. 😉

  43. ILLNana says:

    LMAO @ Jen!!!! ahahahahahaha!!!

  44. duh says:

    Nice hair. She looks more feminine now.

  45. poof says:

    @ Audrey. I agree with your point. But on the flipside, Adele is insanely talented while this one is pretending to be a model when she doesn’t have the face for it nor is talenterd enough to be an actress.

  46. skilo says:

    I don’t think that the outfit would be as bad if she had on some cute summer sandals or sneakers with it, but the boots with the rest of the outfit are a no, and the purse looks like one little old ladies carry to church.
    I know it’s not nice to pick on someone for things they can’t help, but with all the money she has she could have better hair, and more season appropriate accessories. I think one reason we are defensive of Adele and not so much of Rumor, is that Adele is a real down to earth person from very humble beginnings who has become famous for genuine talent. Rumor was born into wealth and fame and if she looked exactly the same and were born to non-famous, non-wealthy parents she would never have gotten many if not any of the breaks she has gotten in Hollywood. Adele has an sense of insecurity and humility, while Rumor seems smug and bratty.

  47. normades says:

    She looks coked out with a cokey booger in her nose.

    Her unfortunate face looks much better with shorter hair.

  48. HotLatino says:

    With that face NOTHING works for her

  49. crtb says:

    That is how you dress when you need to run out to get tampons from the drug store.

  50. colt13 says:

    She looks like an extra for Twilight: The Honkytonk Years.

  51. Cat T says:

    I dunno, she always looks weird, like those hilarious goof spoofs that Conan does with the fixed face pictures, and then they superimpose a live action mouth… and hilarity ensues. Y’know the ones?

  52. taxi says:

    The outfit is terrible & she needs a decent haircut to work with the unfortunate Leno-esque face.

  53. Hakura says:

    She looks so different in these pictures, maybe the lighter warm haircolor softens her features a bit?

    Re: Photogenic – I can look in the mirror & be totally happy with what I see…But when I look at myself in pictures? HORRIBLE. Someone in the last Rumer thread linked to her interview with Larry King. I was *shocked* at how different she looks. It just sounds like she’s not great for still pics.
    Which begs the simple question… WTF did they choose this girl to model?! It’s the one career choice that requires you to do nothing BUT take still shots. Just doesn’t make sense. I guess if they ever use her for a video commercial, we’ll see.

  54. Andie B says:

    Maybe that’s her ‘I’m from an uber-rich family so I don’t have to care how I look all the time’ look. The look that says ‘I could be wearing any glamorous and classy outfit that I want because I’m rich..but I’ll dress like I’m from the homeless shelter’. It is true that money can’t buy taste, but in saying that, I’m sure she is a very nice girl.

  55. Annie says:

    Yeah, Rumor is mostly just tragically unphotogenic. In motion she’s still not classically beautiful or anything but she does have what I’d describe as an interesting androgynous look – she reminds me a bit of that British model Aggness Deyn (sp?). In certain stills though her face can look very odd and almost deformed. As someone who can look like a different person from photo to photo I can sympathize.

    I find her two younger sisters to be truely fug though. If I had to look like one of those 3 I’d have to pick Rumor.

  56. DoMaJoReMc says:

    EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GIRL IS NOTHING *BUT* TRAGIC.

  57. Luise says:

    Poor Girl. I feel sorry for her. My God, Demi has completely changed her look by spending $100,000’s on plastic surgery for herself. You would think she would have done something for her child. Or is it all about Demi?

  58. Maritza says:

    She looks comfortable, her hair looks stringy but not everyday can you be picture perfect. I can’t imagine how awful she must feel to read such cruel comments.

  59. Beachi 206 says:

    I am just really enjoying all of you todayand your comments on Rumer and please tell me is it “Ru-mer” or is it “Rummer?” I’ve never heard it said aloud so I don’t know

  60. mary simon says:

    The jaw needs to go – can’t get past the jaw.

  61. Alexa says:

    I’m really not choosing to be contrary all the time, but I think she looks cool and like someone I would enjoy hanging out with. WTF?! She’s CHILLIN’ people! (Maybe my view stems from the fact that I’m a “New Englander” and not a “California Girl.” It seems to be an unspoken rule that women in CA must try their best to look like Barbie whenever venturing out of the house. You all are ridiculous with your FAKE EYELASHES worn 24/7 and your SPRAY TANS and hair extensions.)

    I also think that Rumer keeps getting prettier and prettier. (So SUCK IT!)

  62. Mrs. Odie 2 says:

    No matter how she dresses, when she goes out she will be photographed and everyone will write about how ugly she is. If that were me, I’d strive to be comfortable. I don’t see what you all see. She is an average looking person. I see prettier and uglier people every day.

    As for Tori, she has had a nose job, but she inherited those wide-set pug eyes from her dad. Nothing she can do about it. Tori is just annoying for other reasons. And her hair color is awful and unflattering.

  63. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    @violet, ” The reality is that if you’re not attractive, it’s even more important to make an effort to dress well — especially in Hollywood!”

    Agreed, just look what dressing well did for Sara Jessica Parker. People even started thinking she was attractive!

  64. Mario says:

    She’s so ugly, she looks like Bruce Willis in drag or after a sex change.

  65. ZenB!tch says:

    Hideous! Yes, I just went on and on about Adele being “so pretty”. This is the opposite of pretty. She’s thin but hideous. I feel bad for her, with such a hot mom. Maybe the bad hair and funny clothes are an attempt to detract from the natural hideousness? I would suggest pants because her legs have no shape to them.

  66. ZenB!tch says:

    “Agreed, just look what dressing well did for Sara Jessica Parker. People even started thinking she was attractive!”

    ~Morticiansdoitdeader

    OK, she’s not THAT hideous. LOL! Seriously, Rumer would likely bug me less if she wasn’t a “daughter of”

  67. ZenB!tch says:

    @Alexa most of us don’t – we usually wear jeans and heels to a club and jeans and flip flops or Uggs (the weather cut off being 69) when out and about.

    The other day I had friends in from out of town and I was consciously looking for women dressed like Kardassians. I didn’t see any.

    I *would* stand out in New England because I am not preppy in the least. I wear black or bright colors, no collars, no buttons. never khakis (make me look fat) and patterned ballet flats – Cape Cod meets Jerseylicuous – LOL.

    As long as we are on regional differences – do people really dress like that in Jersey?

    Rumer is wearing LA day wear.

  68. ZenB!tch says:

    Oh wait, women in OC do look like Barbie but that’s OK because the men look like Ken. Lauren Conrad is from the OC.

  69. call-in says:

    alexa, agreed! she’s CHILLIN for god’s sake!
    t-shirt, shorts, boots……what’s the problem????

  70. Mama Chihuahua says:

    She has very obviously had rhinoplasty performed, resulting in a weird, pinched nose with funny nostrils, when her original nose probably looked much better on her – but she refuses to do anything with the chin? I seldom espouse plastic surgery, but this girl is the exception to the rule with a very deformed looking chin that makes the rest of her features look squashed together. If she wants to go anywhere on her looks (acting, model,) she really needs to deal with that chin.

  71. Anonymous says:

    Unfortunate ensemble or just unfortunate face? The crappy outfit doesn’t come close to distracting attention from the massive lantern jaw.

  72. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    @ZenBitch, “As long as we are on regional differences – do people really dress like that in Jersey?”

    if you mean like JWOW and Snooki, the answer is kind of. Young North Jersey Italians and kids visiting the shore dress like slutty orange people. They all gravitate to one area so, to visitors, it looks as though all of us look and dress like that. My husband’s cousins and Aunt look like jersey shore and RHWONJ extras. It’s basically a “cultural” thing, specific to Italians and those who want to look like Italians. However, most North Jersey men and women are influenced by NY
    fashion trends. Here in south jersey, I try to go for chic and understated.

  73. Judy says:

    Goodness.

  74. BeeCee says:

    I’m going to take a wild guess and go ahead and say that this “look” probably cost over $1000.00…. amiright?

  75. sammib says:

    She looks wired.

  76. Zoya says:

    Her chin/jaw is as big as her forehead… if you turn her face upside down she’d look the same. a true potato head.

  77. qwerty says:

    must be hard to know that her mother is better looking then her!

  78. June says:

    other than those boots…ordinary outfit…looks fine to me.

  79. Christie_Love says:

    Poor little Tater Head, what an unfortunate-looking individual she is.

  80. Joanie says:

    Ye gods, please don’t publish any more photos of The Chin. She’s hideous.
