Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in red lamé: showgirl fug or stunning?

fp_7531768_transformers_nyc_08_36

Last night was the NYC premiere of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and once again, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley tried to lure me into caring about this film with her fashion porn. Unlike her gorgeous sapphire-blue Burberry gown in London, however, I’m underwhelmed by this red lamé Antonio Berardi Fall 2011 gown. I really love the structure… so what’s the problem? I don’t know. I think it’s the fabric that’s bugging me. It’s too orange-red for my taste (a blood-red would have been nice) and the sheen is giving me a “Vegas showgirl” vibe. Plus, she looks like Jessica Rabbit. Certainly, there are worse style icons, but the whole effect is kind of meh.

More photos from the New York premiere… there is never a time when Patrick Dempsey’s wife is not looking sullen and sulky. I would say she has a “natural bitchface” but I just think she’s a morose person.

I don’t “get” Josh Duhamel. Never have.

And finally, Shia LaBeouf. I don’t like seeing him in a suit nowadays. He needs to just wander around like this.

  1. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    I don’t like it. I hate seeing the seems on the dress. The color washes her out. I hate it. Also she looks really bored. There is no spark to her. Rosie looks like a model and she is acting one. My job is to show off the dress and not myself…so just looks like a pretty hanger standing there on the red carpet…where is the life in this girl?

  2. kiko says:

    she doesn’t have the tits for the dress.megaaaaaan where are you?

  3. the original bellaluna says:

    I don’t get her appeal. (Jason, my love, wtf are you thinking?)

  4. David says:

    Shia LaBeouf looks like a total dick head

  5. Praise St. Angie! says:

    meh, the dress is OK.

    I think I’d like a darker red, too.

    my issue is with how she always looks SO vacant. I know she wasn’t hired for her (acting) talent or her smarts, but sheesh…she looks catatonic in some pics.

  6. bigchili says:

    I get Josh Duhamel. Yes, yes I do.

  7. annerox says:

    she looks like she used to be a man. i cant put my finget on it… maybe its her strong jaw…but she just looks like she has a mans face.

  8. Kitten says:

    Agree with LoveAng and Praise-it takes effort to look corpsey in a red lame dress. She’s like some strange Fembot.

  9. Quest says:

    I would like Patrick Dempsey’s wife to put a little more effort into her appearance during these events, this is her predictable shitty-ass look all the time

  10. embertine says:

    Speaking of wax figurines…

  11. Patricia says:

    She looks like a cheap glittered Christmas candle.

  12. TQB says:

    I’m with @Kiko, that dress needs boobs. But with some boobs, I would love it. I actually really like the color, it’s unusual.

    If you’re going to do Jessica Rabbit, you have to be built like Jessica Rabbit. You, Ms. Huntington-Whitely, are no Jessica Rabbit.

  13. brin says:

    LOL@TQB!

  14. Patricia says:

    Josh Duhamel’s slim trousers look really stupid. A perfect fit for him.

    And Shia looks like he’s playing with himself with his hand in his shiny pants.

    Dempsey is hot but his wife looks dreadful – like a shred of wilted iceberg lettuce.

  15. JEN says:

    Team Megan. And I’m not even a fan of hers.

  16. serena says:

    Hate the dress and the shoes are fug.

  17. Lala11_7 says:

    I gotta say,…I GET Josh Duhamel…which is surprising for me…I mean…I would REALLY like to get him (if u know wot I mean)…which is…AGAIN…surprising for me…

    My goodness…the bad reviews on this movie are EPIC!!! I’ve been laughing my tookas off reading them…

    Lucky Meagan!!!

  18. Shaye says:

    @annerox: I feel the same way, something about the set of her shoulders or her collarbone or something…I would not be at all surprised if she was not born a woman, or at the least a very athletic woman growing up. Not trying to be mean at all btw, just an observation.

  19. ladybert62 says:

    I dont like that dress and she looks stupid to me (maybe she is just extremely bored?) I guest get an “attitude” vibe from this woman. I JUST RALIZED THAT DRESS HAS A SLIT UP TO HER HOOTCHIE! YUKKKKKK!!!

  20. LindyLou says:

    @ Patricia – I was thinking cheap Christmas tablecloth, but glitter candle works too! lol

  21. ElleGin says:

    She looks well bored lol

  22. Audrey says:

    I like the dress but hate her pose in pic #1 and she really needs more curves to pull the whole thing off.

  23. jenn says:

    Her neck is so strange looking.

  24. kibbles says:

    Shia LaBeouf has major douche face in that photo.

  25. sara says:

    She looks exhausted.
    Otherwise, GORGEOUS! dress, face, figure, curves, everything.

  26. Jackson says:

    I think the dress is ok, it just doesn’t do much for her up top. Although she’s pretty, I’m kind of getting tired of seeing this chick every day. And Shia is back to looking like an idiot. I knew that ‘Details’ cover was an anomaly.

  27. Shay says:

    She looks like a blank face, sex blow up doll.

  28. Phat girl says:

    @ Patricia.

    I think the hot looking blonde in the picture behind her agrees with you!

  29. Lady D says:

    Praise SA got it right. She always has a vacant look on her face. I’m wondering if she is mentally challenged (to a minor degree) Maybe she just checks out while playing the role of model. No life, no spark to her.

  30. Anne de Vries says:

    Wow, she looks completely vacant. Empty on the inside.

  31. crumbcake says:

    Rosie’s individual features are very attractive (she has a fantastic figure), but when you put them all together, something just isn’t clicking from the shoulders up. Her neck and jaw are really wide, and she always seems to have this blank look on her face–her eyes look dead to me. You know how some people emit a spark, or some sort of energy through their eyes? She doesn’t for me at all. I haven’t seen her movie, never have heard her even speak, but for some reason she gives the impression of being dull minded. Maybe I’m wrong.
    Dress is just ok. I agree the color is not flattering, and I think you have to have a sort of spicy, vavoom personality to pull off that look. I’m not trying to be mean, but I just don’t really care for the way she looks.
    Btw, I’m not anti-model (I think Miranda, Alessandra, and Candace are stunning and they have that je ne sais quoi). . . this girl just doesn’t click with me.

  32. spinner says:

    Rosie lacks charisma. She does not have the ‘it’ factor. She should also stop blowing up her lips.

  33. ZenB says:

    It’s the wrong color red for her (and she has Goop boobs: small yet droopy) but she is no worse than the others. Hate the vest on Josh, hate the brown shirt on Patrick and if I see another shiny sharkskin suit on LaDouche, I am going to scream.

    What did Tyrese, Bay and LaDouche’s dad wear? And where is droopy boobs’ BF – that bald Brit guy? I never see him at any of her events.

    PS: While I’m calling her out on her boobs – hello? MODEL??? At least they are real unlike the plastic surgery monster she replaced.

  34. ZenB says:

    I also posted this on the Kim K thread. This photo of Rosie and Kim K makes me laugh. It emphasizes what is wrong with both of them:

  35. ZenB says:

    Ladies, I’ve figured out what makes us cringe when we see her, even though her features are individually fine. Her head is HUGE. Look at the pic with Kim K above and look at this one with LaDouche:

  36. Gino says:

    From certain angles she looks stunning, but from the front that Wonder Woman dress needs something to hold it up. A note to all ye of spare breasts and manly thick necks, strapless bustiers are not for you.

  37. Ron says:

    Love the dress. But then again I am always attracted to shiny objects.

  38. Ally says:

    I was subjected to the latest Transformers trailer at the movies this week. Omg, terrible noisy schlock.

    There is a pornographic depiction of a skyscraper being slashed to bits and slowly falling over, disintegrating. Remember when they said after 9/11 that they wouldn’t put sh%% like that on film anymore? That classy guy Michael Bay went ahead with it anyway. Thanks also to executive producer Steven Spielberg (Mr. Sensitivity in other Transformers-related areas) for approving it all.

    In her brief snippets in the movie, gaping open-mouthed, poor Rosie looks like a blow-up doll. As one review said, “the first view is actually of her derriere, which in Bay’s shorthand stands for “romantic interest.” Just crap — expensive, embarassing crap.

  39. Moore says:

    Her neck looks really long.

  40. curleque says:

    I don’t get this chick… she looks like a deer in headlights all the time. Josh looks like a fool.

    But Shia, oh Shia… I never really took notice of him, until that Details spread. Oh my… makes me want to buy a ranch just to hire him as my ranch hand… or cougar bait…

  41. jess says:

    i have never agreed more with all the commenters haha. ive never seen anyone who just looks so, well, stupid just standing there. i really hope she is smarter than she looks.

  42. SFRowGuy says:

    Jessica Rabbit impersonation, ‘cept she needs bigger cleavage.

  43. Lou says:

    There is something about this woman’s face that bothers me immensely, and not in a good way. Some think she looks mannish – I don’t know if that’s it for me – but I find her very unattractive, unlike Meagan who was dumb but HOT.

  44. Lou says:

    Ally, I agree with you on this! The last thing I want to see is a virtual reenactment of 9/11 under a different name. And like you say, gotta love Spielberg’s sensitivity to the subject, since he’s Mr. Sensitive anyway.

  45. RHONYC says:

    what do you call the girls who hand the awards at the awards shows???

    oh yeah!

    the girls who hand the awards at the awards shows.

    that’s what she looks like.

    all that surgery & posing to look like the girls who hand the awards at the awards shows!

    bwahahaha!

    ok, i’ll stop. 😆

  46. Lou says:

    Love Angelina is right, Rosie looks like a hanger showing off the dress. Not an ounce of personality or verve or color to herself. Blah.

  47. Aviatrix says:

    *yawn* This bored looking chick and douchey guys. Wake me up after this idiotic movie has tanked.

  48. bluhare says:

    You know what cracked me up? Josh Duhamel and his spiffy neato Spy Watch. Look at that frickin’ thing. Looks like it could pour a full bar!

  49. kira says:

    Wow, hate being mean, but she looks so empty that she makes blow-up dolls look like they have more personality and life. 😉

    Says so much about Michael Bay to pick her==I’m going to grab a sexual object that I can control and who is incapable of saying a word back to me (mostly because she can’t think of anything to say). Never thought Megan Fox would come out looking good from the Transformers mess, but here it is.

  50. Jennifer says:

    I got two tickets to an advanced screening of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie and all I can say is that I really, really wanted to punch her in the face. A lot.

  51. harfang says:

    I like the persimmon-or-whatever. Blood red is terrific but I like me a nice orange found in nature. The stitching and the good fit make it classy enough, and she has surprisingly decent biceps. The inherent vapidity of her stupid face is overridden. I am all told a bit uncomfortable with how much I like Dumb Rosie in this shoot.

  52. I’m not sure,but I think that lady standing behind her with the black hair,is lookin’ to steal her wallet.

  53. Turtle Dove says:

    Rosie is pretty-ish but vacant. There’s not much happening upstairs. At all. I don’t hate her, but she rubs me the wrong way…. not hot enough to act that haughty.

    LaDouche looks like…. well you know…. a douche. Where the h*ll did he find that gingham, euro-trashy suit? This guy is not manly, sexy, or hot. He is NOT sexy leading man in non-blow-things-up movies.

  54. ZenB!tch says:

    @turtle dove – do you remember the remake of Godzilla? Yeah I’d blocked it out too. But one of my guy friends brought it up recently and while he was lamenting what the evil “they” did to Godzilla. I remembered what the evil “they” did to us: MATTHEW BRODERICK: ACTION HERO. You hit the nail on the head, he is not manly enough to be a hero, just like Matthew Broderick.

    I’ll be honest, the reason I don’t totally get on Bay’s ass is that he provides me with enough male eye candy to distract me from the Meganness or the Rosieness in this case. Josh and Tyrese and the guys who play their troops can make me forgive a lot of things but Shia has to be Spielberg’s son. The leads in Bay’s other films, like them or not (Nic Cage) are at least tall and muscular.

  55. ZenB!tch says:

    Eghads! I went back to look at Josh’s watch… HIS SHOES!!! Crimes against fashion. Joan Rivers arrest him!

  56. Isa says:

    I think there are too many posts about her. My husband saw the Transformers trailer and said she was ugly. I think he misses Megan Fox. She still looks like a lion. And I hate the way she slightly closes her eyes…I actually hate when anyone does that. It makes you look dumb.

  57. cindy says:

    Your right Jessica Rabbit with less va voom.

  58. april says:

    Face-wise she’s sort of a blonde version of Megan Fox, but not as pretty. She makes facial poses the same as Megan. I’m not a fan of either actress. The dress looks fine.

  59. munchies says:

    i dont know but I love the whole package.

  60. endoplasmic ridiculum says:

    Sometime in the near future we will discover that Shia La Vache is actually the godson of someone that Spielsburg owed a favour to and suddenly it will ALL MAKE SENSE.

    Cause right now, his ‘star power’ is about as reasonable as cold fusion.

    Sartoricaly, he looks like he just finished shooting craps in Guys and Dolls.

  61. NicoleAM says:

    I think she’s been rocking the red carpet throughout the whole press tour.

  62. Sally says:

    Meh, the dress doesn’t look great in the pics here. Looks much better in the one they have on Go Fug Yourself!

  63. Micki says:

    I actually like the colour and the style of the dress, it’s not as spectacular as her blue one but not bad either.

    @Jennifer (50) Thanks for the info, I’ll gladly save my money for something better till the DVD can be rented

  64. Natalie says:

    Her face is very asymmetrical, one eye is higher and more squinty.

  65. Vickyb says:

    Oh, I love this dress! But then I’m a bit of a magpie with shiny items. I don’t know about all the negativity about her though – she’s prettier than most with a hotter body than most! I know I wouldn’t look like that in that dress (although I’ve got much, much better tatas than her!)

  66. crab says:

    She’s almost Llama-ish! I don’t know if it’s her long neck and small head that makes her look like a pretty little llama!

  67. LLLLLL says:

    She looks like the female Tom Hardy

  68. Mortifera says:

    She does look like a guy, but for those of you who can’t point out what’s “wrong” about her face…the fake hot dog lips and twat glare are the beginning of it.

    Meh, she makes a good replacement for Megan Fox because she wasn’t that great in the first place either. They both look manly close up. What bewilders me about both of them is that neither one of them have a good enough body and have tons of visible flaws but somehow sneak under the radar for their “remarkable beauty” and being so aesthetically superior and intangible. Please. Apparently arrogance works for mediocrity. If you believe your own hype, everyone else will too.

    Don’t forget to make sour faces and look like a miserable little princess because looking cold, bored, and just plain ungrateful makes you unobtainably beautiful. It really annoys me how many hot chicks look and act like something crawled up their gash and died. It’s such a curse having millions of dollars thrown at you because men are willing to watch you fail at acting just to look at you, having any man you want and whatever other social opportunities and advantages that the aesthetically compromised don’t get, not having to develop a personality (which, in my experience means jack sh*t anyway because that bitchy hot chick is totally a bitch but she’s hot so she gets away with it), and getting away with stupidity and other character flaws.

    So, what I’m trying to say is this: Smile. Life is unfair, but you have more advantages than most, especially when you aren’t even that attractive.

    /rant.

    she reminds me of roger rabbit’s wife
