Lea Michelle in sheer Zimmerman at the Elle event: trashy or not that awful?

These are more photos from the ELLE magazine 19th Annual Women In Hollywood Celebration held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills last night. This is hopefully the last fashion post from this event – go here and here to see the dresses I’ve already discussed. You should also check out those posts because you need to get a sense of what the average “Elle Mag event dress” looked like – most women were wearing Calvin Klein, because CK was one of the sponsors. Most chose cocktail-business attire, some sparkle here and there, but mostly pretty, classy, somewhat modest dresses. And then there was Lea Michele and her butt cheeks. Lea wore this Zimmerman dress which… if it had been fully lined, MAYBE she could have pulled it off. But it seems particularly trashy and famewhore-y to wear a sheer dress, with your butt cheeks hanging out, to an event about empowered women in Hollywood. Plus: her bangs disgust me. They are beyond awful.

Sarah Jessica Parker in Calvin Klein. This is a pretty good look for her – SJP’s style has been pissing me off lately (she goes too young or too dowdy, like she can’t find a happy-medium to save her life), and I think she looks sophisticated and lovely. I’m actually pretty envious of her arms too.

Jennie Garth in Tadashi Shoji. A perfect dress for a bridesmaid, or even a bride (for a second wedding). Not so good for a Hollywood event. She looks like a musty doily.

Nina Dobrev in Vera Wang. To me, Nina has Selena Gomez-Face, meaning that she always looks like a 12-year-old playing dress-up. Which means that I think this dress looks “too adult” on her, but I would dislike it even on a more mature-looking woman. It’s just a bad dress. It looks cheap.

Lake Bell in Etro. Awful. I don’t really have anything else to say. It’s just terrible.

    That awful.

  2. lori says:

    I thought that Lea Michelle looked awful until I saw the rest of them. she looks better when you put in perspective.

  3. HotPockets says:

    Wow, all of those dresses are HIDEOUS. Both Jenny Garth and Lea Michelle look awful..I only feel bad saying that about Jenny because I like her, but Lea never looks good, especially here.

    I don’t know who Lake Bell is, but she is giving me the crazy eyes and sporting the ugliest dress at the annual god awful dress event.

  4. Sara says:

    Did someone’s bangs try to eat you as a child? Your extreme aversion to them is weird and tiresome.

    Lea looks terrible.

  5. judyjudy says:

    Poor Lea Michelle. No matter what she does she always comes across as a fool.

  6. MaryJo says:

    beyond awful.

  7. Jackie O says:

    lake bell looked so fabulous and sexy in the movie ‘its complicated’. styling is everything!

    jenny garth looks like a 50 year old.

  8. Nev says:

    Amazing SJP!!!!

  9. NeNe says:

    Ugh!! I think it might be cute shorter.

  10. Minnie says:

    Am i the only one who recalls jennie “leaving the spotlight” and having some reality show about her and her daughters starting over, living on a farm? What happened to that?

  11. effy says:

    SJP looks good.

  12. V4Real says:

    Lea is really trying to drop that Glee good girl look in this hideous outfit.

  13. Amanda says:

    Lea Michele looks worse than a Kardashian here.

  14. MG says:

    Holy crap, Lea looks so trashy. The rest look like crap too, except for SJP who looks okay.

  15. Mew says:

    Jennie Garth looks old.

  16. Amelia says:

    Nima Dobrev really annoys me for some reason.
    After some of the ‘Perks’ premieres I began to think she has tremendous potential as a famewhore.

    • Sunlily says:

      I was starting to think I was the only one who felt that way about her. My ex loves Vampire Diaries and I haven’t been able to stomach a single episode all the way through because of her horrible acting skills. She is one of the most wooden, deadpan, boring actresses that I’ve seen in a long time.

      • jaye says:

        Yes…her acting is very one dimensional.

        On another note, while I don’t like Lake Bell’s dress overall, I like the print. I think it would look very nice if maybe the dress was cut differently. Maybe?

      • JN says:

        I’ve never seen Vampire Diaries, but she wasn’t awful on Degrassi, just okay. I did see her in a Lifetime, something like Too Young to Marry, and it was bad.

  17. kingkayski says:

    Are you sure this is not Walmart Event,i think even walmart will take offence by comparing their dress to what these peoples wearing.

  18. Dahlia Verlaine says:

    I don’t care for Lea’s her dress or hair but what’s really awful is her make-up. She looks like a damn fool with 5 diffrent shades of concealer, bronzer and all that jazz…

  19. ladybert62 says:

    So many dresses – so many awful choices. Hard to believe all of these dresses are terrible.

  20. Joy says:

    Dear SJP–

    Put.the.eyeliner.down.

    My jaw literally dropped when I saw Lea’s outfit (or lack thereof). I don’t know how Cory can stand her Eau de desperation. I wish she’d stop trying so hard. Looks like she’s wearing one of Liz Taylor’s discarded peignoirs.

  21. turningviolet says:

    Lea’s dress – awful yes.

    In her defence however she tweeted prior to the event that she was taking a fashion risk (yes, for my sins I follow her on twitter) so I sort of think she was well aware of the horribleness of the dress – I think she was styled by l’Oreal last night – and if i’m being kind maybe she had no get out.

    Is that right – I don’t know how much say she would have?

    Anyhow I kind of like her and think she gets some unfair press. She must have something going for her if CM (my middle aged crush) likes her.

  22. emmie_a says:

    Lea & SJP look like drag queens. I usually like SJP but she should stop messing with her face. She’s getting a cat-woman look with her slanted eyes and puffy lips. Not good.

  23. Reece says:

    Lake Bell has A BLACK HOLE ON HER VAGINA! (I know I’m yelling) I don’t even know who she is but WTF?
    All of them are AWFUL except SJP’s dress. But those triangles betwixt her shoulders and clavicles will give me nightmares tonight. That is not a good picture.

  24. lucy2 says:

    They all look pretty awful. Lea’s dress is terrible and she can’t pull that kind of look off.

    Jennie looks about 20 years older than she actually is here. And Lake looks insane.

  25. taxi says:

    In some neighborhoods, Lea’s dress could get her easily mistaken for a a pro.

  26. Melanie says:

    Something about her mouth and/or teeth bother me every time I see a photo of her.

  27. Mara says:

    Lea think of herself that she is so pretty and sexy but she is trying to hard .

  28. serena says:

    Oh god Jennie don’t do that…that blonde shade wash her off (she should go for a stronger blonde) and not matrony-old lady like dress. It makes her look a lot older than she is!

  29. Cait says:

    Lea’s makeup looks chalky and terrible. And her facial expressions always look like she just farted.

  30. j.eyre says:

    I like SJP’s look but what is going on with the skirt? Is it a peplum or a sheer overskirt on top of a shorter solid underskirt? Honest question -I can’t make it out.

    I may get laughed off the thread here, but I could work with Lake Bell’s dress. I like the pattern, fit and belt. Get rid of that loose sheer at the top and pull the sleeves up to go over the shoulder (keep them fitted and monochrome, not patterned) and I think it might not be so bad.

  31. Really? says:

    WTF was this event, an exposé for sheer panelling? Every single one of ’em has something going on with the cut outs and allusions, man, hollywood style really is for the lemmings.

    I can’t stand Lea two-first-names Michelle. Ick ick ick. SJP needs to keep her arms down, she looks better. Jennie Garth looks like a freaking grandma. And who is that freak at the end?

  32. savedbykittylitter says:

    SJP Arms JFC! scary, plus Lea trashy look I think SJP looks better in pic 2

  33. Shelly says:

    Jennie looks terrible! The hair, the hair color, her skin color, that dress – ugh all around. She looks ages older than she is. And Lea continues to have a serious makeup / foundation problem. Her face looks perpetually dirty. I just want to scrub it clean.

  34. jaye says:

    I’m not a fan of SJP’s dress. I don’t like the cut and the color, IMO, washes her out.
