Olga Kurylenko in Marchesa for UK ‘Oblivion’ premiere: okay or bridal fug?

Olga Kurylenko Tom Cruise

Olga Kurylenko and Tom Cruise walked the red carpet for the London premire of Oblivion, and it wasn’t pretty. I guess maybe Olga must be trying to get in good with Harvey Weinstein because she chose to wear — egad — Marchesa. While this is probably one of the label’s least fugly dresses that I’ve seen in awhile, it’s still horrific bridal nonsense with a strange black lace panel above the bust area. I honestly don’t know who wears Marchesa when they don’t have to do so, but the label must be making some money to keep cranking out such awful designs season after season. Maybe?

To get the full effect of the cheap-looking awfulness of this dress, you’ll have to click through for a closeup. The train of the dress isn’t as bad as the whole with its matronly cut, but the train contributes to the pseudo-bridal feel of the gown. Oh, Olga. Such a pretty girl and such an unfortunate dress.

As far as I know, this red carpet was free of protestors unlike the Dublin red carpet where ex-Scientologist Samantha Domingo showed up in a shirt that read, “Scientology Church of Forced Abortions.” Sadly, Samantha speaks from experience, and it’s widely recognized that Sea Org members are forced to abort if they fall pregnant because babies only distract the CO$ from its mission to “clear the planet.

Here’s a more amusing tale, however: this week’s issue of the Enquirer has a story that’s almost a perfect rehash of my hypothetical “Has Tom called Julianne Hough after her breakup?” story from a few weeks ago — except that the twist is that Julianne is pursuing Tom in this version. Allegedly, she’s looking for projects that she and Tom could do together because she so enjoyed performing that (cutting-room floor) lap dance for him in Rock of Ages. Supposedly, Julianne “believes that she and Tom are destined to be the ultimate Hollywood couple.” HA.

The tabloids aren’t through with Tom, and this week’s issue of Star reports that Trey Parker and Matt Stone (“South Park”) are looking to follow up their ragingly successful Book of Mormon Broadway musical with a new Scientology-themed show, and Tom is allegedly “concerned he’ll be the butt of jokes.” Tom should be worried! Perhaps this will be a continuation of the infamous “Trapped in the Closet” episode, and I can’t wait to see what Parker and Stone dream up next.

Tom does look good at this UK premiere. Shame about the crazy.

    Marchesa: the brand that makes Stella McCartney’s dresses look good.

    Julianne Hough: is she a professional beard now?

    Trey Parker and Matt Stone doing a Scientology-themed show: too awesome for words.

    Marchesa is NEVER okay! It doesn’t even warrant a ‘meh’

  3. Buckwild says:

    I love the colour of Tom’s tie! And this Marchesa isn’t actually too bad. They need to stop with the flesh colored figure skater panels though.

    If that is the best of the worst I would hate to see the others what a mess. Olga must really want another role or something. I just can’t look at Tom Cruise anymore all I see is crazy I notice he has stayed single milking the sad lonely Tom angle for awhile he usually has a new robot by now. After Katie he may be having trouble but their is Julianna Hough who I could see would date him she does need to replace that jewelry that was stolen. Love the idea of the show I bet Tom has already got lawyers on speed dial to threaten a lawsuit. LOL

    In the choice between the dress and companion, I think the latter is more unfortunate..

    That dress gives me the impression that the designers ran out fabric and and they used the black lace to finish it.

  7. Sherry says:

    That dress looks like they took a bridal gown, bought some tacky black lace and sewed it to the top and said, “There, now it’s an evening gown!” Fugly!

    This would be a lovely wedding dress for a Spanish,classy wedding.

    Olga was already a beautiful lady when she was in the bond movie; I hate to see her become so thin….

  10. moon says:

    ugh, Olga in (fug) bridal and Tom in a three piece putting his arms around her waist is just too….c0$ planned marriage written all over it

    I hate the dress, but think she’s beautiful. Lovely skin and lips. She looks like she could be related to Angelina J. (and I say that with all due respect to the goddess who is AJ.

  12. Jennifer12 says:

    You can do so much with white, draped fabric. Why stick a panel of black lace on top? And she has gorgeous hair- who f—-ed it up for this premier?

    Is Olga still dating Danny Huston?
