Christina Hendricks in Paris at the Versace show: busted (ha) or beautiful?

What with the Canadian holiday and the TomKat-divorce-gossip-vacuum, there aren’t a lot of stories today, so I thought you might enjoy some photos from Paris Fashion Week. A surprising amount of A-list and B-list people came to Paris for the Versace Fall/Winter (or the Spring/Summer 2013, different people are labeling it differently) event yesterday, and these are some of the selected pics that I enjoyed. Just assume that everyone is wearing Versace.

I love Pierce Brosnan. He’s still so handsome!

Jessica Alba in perforated black leather. She looks pretty, but I feel like something is “off”. What is it?

Mila Jovovich has a nice figure, but that dress does her no favors.

Love Elizabeth Banks. Love everything about her.

Titsy McGinge rides again. With Christina, it’s all about proportions, angles and cuts. This is just unflattering on her.

I barely recognized Matthew Morrison without his cherubic curls. He definitely looks like he’s trying to butch it up. Does it work?

Lea Michele has a boyfriend. She wants you to know that. Cory looks nice here, but he’s just incidental to Lea’s pose-harding.

    I’ve always had the biggest girl crush on Mila Jovovich, and have always thought she is an underrated actress, not to mention gorgeous!

    Ya and busted, Christina Hendricks looks pretty awful here, but I think she is mostly hype anyways.

    • Beta says:

      agree on Mila!!
      + she looks sensational here!

    • NYC_girl says:

      Christina needs to be nominated for “What Not To Wear.” Clinton and Stacy need to help her ASAP. Pierce B is HOT.

    I am all for large chested women ( I am one) but Hendricks makes it look painful. Jessica Alba always looks incredibly beautiful. The girl in white with Matthew Morrison from Glee is beautiful! what great skin she has! as always Lea Michele thinks that she is the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe. She tries so hard in every picture, always the “poser”

  3. heatheradair says:

    Aw, Christina — those hammer toe/bunion issues look like they’re getting more and more uncomfortable — it’s all I could look at….poor feet!

    • katiem says:

      I have bunions that look like that. It’s genetic. They never stop me from wearing what I feel like wearing. So, I’m sympathetic, but I’m not a celeb, and now that you’ve pointed out her toes it actually distracts from her boobs. Wear closed toes to events Christina.

      • MST says:

        I feel your pain. I have bunions too, and I hate them. In the warm weather they swell and are painful. My insurance would cover having them removed, but I heard the recovery time is long. I am self-conscious about my feet and don’t wear open-toed shoes.

      • another nina says:

        @ mst – it generally takes about a year to recover from foot surgery. It’s surprisingly log and painful process but it’s worth it at the end.

    • Another Nina says:

      It’s all I could look at, too . Poor girl.

  4. TheOriginalTiffany says:

    Girls. I implore you to wear shoes in your size! My pet peeve, if I can fit all my fingers between your heel and the shoe? Too big. Stupid looking as well.

  5. TheOriginalTiffany says:

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Right? Makes me think of a little girl playing dress-up, wearing mom’s heels.

    • Ducky La Rue says:

      This is why they are stars – they wear shoes that are too big, and they pose and look pretty. I wear shoes that are too big, and the shoe falls off when I’m walking and I faceplant. (Imagine the photo op!)

      But seriously, how do they keep those shoes on? Must have some seriously strong toes.

  6. LeeLee says:

    Lea Michele annoys me but her body is amazing.

  7. Hautie says:

    What I immediately notice is that all of the girls (but Christina) are wearing great vintage inspired heels.

    The skinny heel with the pointy toes! They are so flattering to the leg and foot.

    Not one pair of those gawd awful chunky platforms in sight! Or any of those equally gawd awful toe-less booties! YEA!

    I suspect the thing off with Alba’s face. Is that they caught her in a awkward moment with her mouth. Still a pretty girl.

    And I am really starting to appreciate all the pose harding these girls do.

    It just gives me the giggles, to see them desperate to do their own version of “Blue Steel”.

    • Anguishedcorn says:

      THANK YOU. Someone who shares my feelings about the way shoes have gone to hell lately.

  8. neelyo says:

    Hendricks’ hair and make-up are awful. Her face looks so greasy and the hair unwashed like she woke up late and did it herself in the limo on the way.

    • Veruca says:

      Agreed.

      I know she’s a really good actress, but I really don’t get the hype over her looks.

      She’s really average looking to me.

      Now, Jessica, Mila & Pierce — they look fantastic!

    • Muffy says:

      I agree, if you saw Christina in the Pigly Wigly like that would you think, oh my a beautiful actress. She always looks greasy and squeezed into her clothes, I like that she gets attention and isn’t a size zero, but there are other big, beautiful woman that could show her a thing or two!

  9. LittleDeadGirl says:

    I love Mila, especially her hair and skin color. The dress is not good. I love the vintage shoes a bunch of the girls are wearing. I’m simple classic kind of girl though.

  10. mzthirtyeight says:

    Christina is kinda disgusting to me. I know it sounds harsh, but the way she showcases herself is ick. Milla J really is so beautiful. Matthew M is goodlooking to me, the isnt, then is again. I dont know. And Lord id like to push Lea, mid-pose. She irritates me like no other!

  11. Crystal says:

    Elizabeth Banks is flawfree. She always gets it right.

    Christina Hendricks…Lord. She always gets it wrong. I won’t front like I know how hard it is for women with big breasts but her outfits are never flattering.

    Pointed heels are ugly. Why have they made a comeback ??? I see a lot of 90’s fashion making a comeback too and it needs to stop. Seriously.

    Never paid much attention to Lea but she has a great body. Orange looks good on her imo.

    • stellalovejoydiver says:

      Co-sign on everything, esp Lea Michele, try hard poser and famewhore yes, but Lord she looks great in orange, not a lot of people can pull that colour off.

  12. pf says:

    Christina has to be one of the most overrated people right now. She’s fine on Mad Men, but outside of that, well, I just don’t get it. If you took away her (fake) boobs, there’s really nothing special to write home about.

  13. Alexis says:

    Matthew Morrison grosses me out for some reason.

    • Kayla says:

      Really? I find him quite handsome especially with the shorter hair. His girlfriend is gorgeous as well.

  14. Gwen says:

    Alba looks stunning IMO. Christina is once again the victim of horrific styling *sigh*

  15. Talie says:

    I feel like Elizabeth Banks is really trying to be January Jones, she wears a lot of Versace now as well.

    • Katie says:

      Elizabeth Banks > January jones. Banks has talent and personality. She looks amazing!

  16. Jackson says:

    Did Elizabeth Banks do some tweaking?? I didn’t even recognize her, but in a good way. She looks great, whatever it is.

    And what is up with LM’s shoes?? I love them, but they looks about a size or more too big for her feet. How are they not falling off when she walks?? And no offense to her boyfriend but he looks like a total twit in that pic.

  17. Katie says:

    Let’s take it from the top on Christina. Why does her hair look like a wig half the time? This is one of those times. The way her hair is “fixed” makes her forehead look huge. Her hair also looks greasy and lank on the top. Not good! I do love her pale skin. The black blazer with the dress looks awful, like she threw it on because she just gave up. I can’t even assess the shoees because her feet hurt me so badly. She can be really beautiful or really rough. This is really rough

  18. HappyJoyJoy says:

    Christina dresses in stuff that would suit a size 2 not a size 10. She doesn’t know her body, I think to her as long as her boobs are a chin rest she’s set to go. Also: Is it me or does she always look greasy outside from the show? like she needs a good shampoo and blow out all the time. She doesn’t look fresh. Ew.

  19. Carolyn says:

    She has gained almost twenty pounds on the bust and midsection in the last year.. shame about that.. There is a point when you look curvy and then there is chub.. she is chub and flabby out of shape now..

  20. bagladey says:

    Christina looks awful and out-dated(as usual) but I LUUUV M.I.A’s pants, and the top, but I really luv the pants – oh, and Jessica’s dress is a bit too long.

  21. Mara says:

    Lea is one annoying lady ,she pose like she is so pretty but she is really ugly.

  22. anti says:

    is CH sitting next to M.I.A?

  23. Yup, Me says:

    Frankly, LM’s open ambition is something I can respect. She’s workin it hard and playing to win. Go. Girl. If she’s a beyotch in person… so what. If I didn’t know better I’d think Christina had a toddler at home. She does tend to have that “I didn’t have time to make the effort.” look. I’ll admit, I’m inclined to like her because I love Joan on MM. And nothing against E.Banks. I don’t like or dislike her, but I fail to see what shes “doing” here other than being skinny and blonde and well styled- something ANYONE can do after a successful movie or two. Actually, it’s to be expected.

  24. Michele says:

    I think Hendricks always looks great on Mad Men. Whenever I see her out in public though, I’m disappointed by how ill fitting her clothing always looks and underwhelmed by her hair. I think she has a beautiful face. I love her porcelain skin but her hair usually looks limp and shapeless. I do love the red hair color on her. The massive boobs always look like they are trying to escape from whatever she’s wearing.

    I’m laughing at the remarks about most of the women in these pictures wearing shoes that look too big for them. I noticed that right away too! HA!

  25. Issa says:

    Hendricks has an amazing body. One of those women that walks into a room and everyone turns their head. However, her fashion is just off. Jessica Alba looks amazing. Love her dress.

  26. Sandra says:

    Weird, the white dress very close resembles Jessica Alba’s black leather dress. I like the white other than the fact that it’s a little droopy at the sides just below the boob area.

  27. bettyrose says:

    Why can’t she just steal her wardrobe from Mad Men?

  28. B says:

    I just have never understood Christina Hendricks’ appeal apart from the huge boobs (which I’m not into anyway). Her face and hair always look greasy and unwashed, she can’t dress herself in flattering clothing, she’s always busting out and it just looks painful, she poses weirdly, and her feet are terrifying me in this picture!

  29. hatsumomo says:

    Gah, I love Christina but she makes it so hard! If I had her figure and access to her clothes Id say to hell with everyone complaining about me showing off my boobs; I would NOT have worn that champagne-colored dress with strappy heels only to cover it all up with a (manly looking) dinner jacket. And if I were her, Id just pick up my hair in a chignon. Its certainly flattering and easier to camouflage unwashed hair. I used to have bottle red hair and you cant wash it often like you would with blonde or brunette hair.

  30. Mandy says:

    The lipstick. That’s what’s off with Jessica A.

    • Ramona Q says:

      I think her dress length is a wee too long, making her legs look stumpy. That’s what’s off.

  31. JennJennM says:

    Christina Hendricks need to do only one thing to make herself look soooo much better: stop wearing push-up bras and tight tops that push her big boobies up to her neck. It looks freakish and detracts attention away from the rest of her appearance. Tailored clothes that fit will flatter any figure.

  32. anna says:

    Christina looks busted. Leave the versace to J Jones.

  33. RHONYC says:

    day-um!

    loads of pretty actresses/singers and Pierce Brosnan shows ’em all up as ‘the’ sexiest bitch of the bunch.

    i’m sure he’s still servin’ his vulupt wife that hot ‘Remington Steele’. lol

    ummm-hmmm! 😉

  34. Luffy says:

    I wish Christina would out those away and show off some different curves for once. I like the length of mila’s dress because it showed of her legs, but the dress really shows what a boyish figure she has. I like Elizabeth’s dress as far as style, but maybe it would look better fitted around her legs. Her legs look kind of stickish here. Also are her shoes to big width wise? I like alba best of all actually. The hair, the dress, the shoes. Everything seems to work. Also may I mention M.I.A.min the back ground? I love her, just not her sense of style.

  35. muppet_barbershop says:

    Christina looks rather good from the neck up and the hips down, actually. Which makes this Yet Another Fail even sadder.
