LeAnn Rimes steps out in skinny jeans & a star-covered sweater: cute or unflattering?

FFN_Rimes_Leann_FF2_FF10_EXC_031314_51354698

When I glanced at the thumbnails of this photo set, I thought it was Chelsea Handler. It’s not! It’s LeAnn Rimes. Maybe it’s the harsh sunlight in these pics or maybe it’s the shade of blonde… whatever it is, LeAnn might need to change it up a little bit. I would be so offended if someone mistook me for Handler.

Anyway, these are some photos of LeAnn in Calabasas yesterday, doing some shopping. This is most likely one of those occasions when LeAnn called the paps so they could take photos of her outfit. So let’s talk about the outfit! The skinny jeans are… not good, but I guess they’re not bad either. If you’re determined to wear skinny jeans, you could do a lot worse. My complaint is with the wash of the denim – they could/should be darker. As for the sweater… minus the trashy-looking ripped back, I have this sweater. I bought mine (with a full back) at Old Navy. I love star-covered sweaters. They’re cutesy and patriotic and I can’t wait to wear mine again (maybe tonight!). LeAnn’s sweater is cute from the front and an absolute mess in the back.

And that’s about all there is to discuss with LeAnn… she hasn’t been engaging in a lot of Twitter nonsense, there have been no “OMG, the tragedy of my life, but I’m super-happy!” interviews. A few weeks ago, she did Single-White-Female a pair of McQueen shoes that Brandi tweeted about (go here to see that controversy), but other than that… all’s quiet on the Crazy Train. LeAnn obviously still pays attention to Brandi, but she’s learned to contain herself. Maybe? Don’t worry, though – I’m sure LeAnn will open up some fresh hell for us soon enough.

PS… That rooster-tail bun thing needs to go.

    She looks like she spent seven minutes in heaven with Wolverine.

  2. Erinn says:

    I don’t like the sweater- I thought it was meh from the front (I think I had a similar one when I was about 7) and the back just completely sold me against it.
    My goodness she has some angry looking features. She looks like a villain. Harsh, but so is her face.

    • Size Does Matter says:

      Gah! She’s braless under there! We do not need to see that! Agree that her features are harsh, and so is this look.

    • Tracy says:

      I agree on all points.

    • Tatjana says:

      I saw that film where she was with Eddie ( so cheesy) and she looked almost pretty-ish. What happened?

    • Kosmos says:

      I agree, didn’t like sweater from the front, and then saw the back, geez. Well, I have to feel sorry for her that the choice of clothing she picked is just kind of bad overall, and to top it off, the white piece on those sandals is what turned me off right at first!! Well, it’s safe to say she doesn’t have much taste in clothes. Even people who can afford help can walk out the door in something like this.

  3. Naomi says:

    There is not one thing cute about the outfit she is wearing. It is something I would expect on a 14 year old and if I were her mother she would never have made it out of the house wearing a top with the back ripped out. That would have been trashed like it deserves.

    • Other Renee says:

      Except LeAnn isn’t 14. She’s a grown woman with a stunted emotional level of a 14 year old girl.

    • gogoGorilla says:

      Ugh, I know. It’s horrible from head to toe. The back is atrocious.

      • Senaber says:

        Yep I feel that the real offense is in the shoes. Just bc they are b/w doesn’t mean they go, honey.

  4. Dara says:

    Does anyone else feel like VH1 (they are the ones backing the monstrosity that is their reality show, right?) has put the kabosh on all her antics? Like they may have made her sign a contract to limit the exposure and twittering she engages in until the show premieres. It just seems that it has finally clicked with her to let people miss you. I can’t see her actually gaining that insight on her own though.

  5. Dirtnap says:

    The Just Say Jenn site said a little something about how the pilot of “The Spotlight” got good feedback and that it looks like LeAnn now has a new job. Sigh.

    As for her style in these photos … I gave up snarking on D-listers for Lent.

    • michele says:

      I give it one week before she alienates the crew and/or has cancelation after cancelation due to needing to spy on Edwardo.

    • ya says:

      I think that Just Say Jenn site just writes fanfiction – wouldn’t believe anything there. Jenn is getting a ton of hits writing about LR so she has to come up with stuff, true or not.

      • michele says:

        TO YA: Justsayjenn hates MeAnn so I’m going to safely bet she is not promoting any positive rumor on purpose. If she’s reporting it, it’s true. She has connections and as much as it may pain her to give “good news” about this dumb B, she’ll report it.

    • Christin says:

      Is there any official word on these alleged projects (besides tweets or blogger claims)? I think someone mentioned there was a brief trailer related to the scriptality show, so maybe that really is going to make it to air. But the talent show — isn’t that a worn-out concept by now? A job is a job, I guess, but this seems to be just grabbing at anything.

  6. Dana says:

    My co-worker calls that updo “ho-knots”.

  7. Stephanie says:

    The entire look is a big no.

  8. MonicaQ says:

    Dem shoes, yeeesh. It looks like she kicked Peter Cotton Tail in the arse with that stupid looking floofy thing.

    Then again, I’m the weirdo that lives in Florida and do not own one pair of slippers (flipflops), sandals, or open toed anything minus my wedding shoes. I hate feet. If I could have the bouncey boots from Portal, that’d be awesome.

    • Erinn says:

      Ahaha, I got some strange looks when we were on vacation to Disney, and I was sitting at typhoon lagoon wearing a hoodie, with the hood up, sunglasses, and long shorts and sneakers. I have a sun allergy, which I discovered going from Nova Scotia winter to Florida sun. We ended up at Seaworld, and went to the arctic exhibit – everyone was freezing and I was in my prime. I think the only time I wore sandals was at the pool of the hotel.

  9. Miffy says:

    The top knot is over, peeps, move on. Now, I’m no fashionista, but when your hair is reminiscent of the shrunken head guy in the afterlife’s waiting room in Beetlejuice, you’re not really onto a win.

    If she wore boyfriend jeans instead and actually had a whole, intact sweater and, dear lord, some sunglasses to detract from that harsh lighting making her look like the by-product of a one night stand between Handler and the Grinch… then maybe… also, lose the saucers off the flip flops. What ARE those? Teeny weeny mirrors so she can look at herself when she walks?

  10. Zooyork says:

    Demonoid eyes! I wonder if Eddiot ever gets creeped out when he catches her looking at him in the moonlight.

    • Tracy says:

      I suspect Ed gets creeped out a lot but that is the price you pay when you marry a mistress for her money.

  11. bettyrose says:

    Until I saw the back, I was all set to point out that she’s dressed like a prepubescent girl circa ’85.

  12. JudyK says:

    Just glad to see her with some clothes on for a change.

  13. Deanne says:

    She has very unfortunate features as a whole and that bun just adds to the unfortunate. I’d have given her a pass on the sweater , as it’s probably comfy , but the ripped back has made me change my mind. That’s just too tacky for words. The whole ensemble, bun included, is another fail for style challenged LeAnn. She wears clothes that look like she picked them up off the floor and usually looks messy and unwashed, rather than effortlessly casual and put together. She’s supposed to be launching a comeback. You’d think she would want to put a little more effort into what she looks like when she’s obviously called the paps.

  14. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Nobody’s hair looks good that way. Hate the back of the sweater. The shoes confuses me. Everything else looks ok for just running errands, but it baffles me that she would think she looked so great that she had to call the paps. I don’t get her.

  15. julie says:

    She just tries so hard to be sexy, and she’s so NOT. I loved the Wolverine post. LOL I do agree someone has put a lid on her for the time being. It is only a matter of time though and her true colors will come shining through again. We all know she can only maintain acting like a normal person for short periods of time. That crazy just has to come out, or her head will explode. I think that knot on the top of her head is what keeps the crazy locked down most of the time.

  16. kpoodle says:

    She’s still SWF’ing Brandi. The shirt tucked into the skinny jeans, is a look Brandi has been sporting a lot lately.

  17. dahlia1947 says:

    This is a terrible outfit! The sweater is cute from the front, but the back is a frickin’ catastrophe! And the jeans are no better. The wash is too light. This girl just does not know how to dress! This is Leann: “Look y’all! No bra!”

    • chuckles says:

      Did she get her fake boobs removed? With all her health problems she talks about, maybe they leaked, just asking? Floppy is not the new look Lee.

      Did her Mother not teach her how to wash her hair, gawd, 2 years olds in the morning look better than this.

  18. Tracy says:

    I really wish I could un-see the back of that mess. And the bun is horrible yet she continues to sweep that greasy mess up into one.

  19. watchmaker says:

    Her walk reminds of the Fred Thompson senior insurance commercial where he stomps through his yard like f*ing Frankenstein while trying to convince us to buy his product he’s endorsing…stomp, stomp, stomp, buy this insurance, stomp, stomp, fee, fi, fo, and fum…..

  20. Shijel says:

    The hair and the sweater are both heinous. Something positive: I like her legs though. Those quads.

  21. msw says:

    Maybe she finally got a clue that radio silence is a better friend than twitter. Yay!

  22. Jessiebes says:

    The hair makes her look like a tellie-tubby, I’m just not sure which one.

  23. Penny says:

    Lol!!! Oh contraire, mon Kaiser – on the bun. I am having serious flat forehead envy over here, with my five head self!!!

  24. emmie_a says:

    I’m curious about the new CBS singing competition show that she is ‘starring’ on as a judge — Has anyone heard about this? I hate when awful, rotten people like her get opportunities like this. She deserves to fade away already.

    • Jmo says:

      I see her struggles to land a gig as a judge on any singing reality show as more confirmation of her decline, like a d-lister clamouring to get on dancing with the stars. She’s only looking for a pay check not a career strengthening move. And when will TV’s love affair with competitive anything shows end? I don’t watch them and any new incarnation just looks cheaper and more ridiculous than the version previous. We don’t need more shows like this and the fact that LeAnn is even being considered as a judge means those producers care so little about quality and only about the gawk factor. Even if she lands any work like this, it isn’t winning her a Grammy or an Emmy. It will put a little coin in her accounts, more for Edster to spend and is little compensation for the requirement to act like an idiot on a cheap and cheesy set.

  25. Leslie says:

    No doubt she spent a LOT of time getting herself ready for these pap pictures. Can you imagine what she looked like BEFORE? This is her attempt to look sexy. Give the poor girl a break, there’s not much to work with there.

  26. Jen says:

    She looks like she got mauled by a bear.

  27. Ginger says:

    Hate the outfit and double hate the hair! If you don’t have time to do your hair LeAnn put it in a pony or something because that bun does nothing for you!

  28. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    What a clever idea to attach maxi-pads to the flip flops.

  29. John says:

    Looks like 1983 all over again. All she needs is an acid wash on those jeans.

  30. Kara says:

    Chanel bag, Chanel sandals… But she makes them look so tacky & cheap =( Coco is rolling over in her grave. Sorry Coco…

    • ya says:

      haha too late – Karl Lagerfeld has already put the final nail in the coffin with the Chanel/Supermarket show @ Paris Fashion Week this year. Plus there are the new Chanel backpacks, sweats, etc.

  31. Pandy says:

    I don’t have a particular liking for Leann but almost all of these comments are really mean. She looks like she’s out wearing nothing but sunscreen with last nights straightened hair in a bun in a maybe not so great outfit. We’ve all done that but thankfully weren’t filmed.

    • Deanne says:

      She calls the paps herself and posts unattractive selfies on her twitter account constantly. She’s not just minding her business and living privately. She obviously is desperate for attention. That doesn’t mean the attention will be positive. The woman has been outed again and again for setting up photos. You can’t look like crap and act like a raging attention monger and expect everyone to compliment you. She obviously thinks she’s super attractive, so she shouldn’t care what people on a gossip site comment section think of her. If she did, she’d lose the bun from hell and shampoo her hair once in a while.

      • ya says:

        I’d call the paps if I were her too. I’m sure she is desperate for attention, but it’s also easy money and provides entertainment for us through sites like this. And most celebs do it at one point or another.

      • Pandy says:

        LOL good point about the fugly bun Deanne.

  32. Sway says:

    She should never, EVER wear her hair like that. EVER.

  33. Jennifer12 says:

    From what’s been going around the web, her new team is trying to rein her in because she has a new job and can’t keep being one of the most hated celebrities out there. She uses twitter accounts under other names to stalk and harass and is rarely called out on it in the media.

  34. DrFunkenstein says:

    Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never really “got” her. Kind of odd looking in my view, and she looked better when she was less skeletal. Thus, what she wears is irrelevant to me, as I already think she’s not all that special.

  35. Karen says:

    In certain photos (when she’s photographed with her mouth wide open) she looks like kate Gosslin. Both are disgusting women.

  36. michele says:

    The funny part is that she probably thinks she looks GREAT. Gawd, so pathetic!

  37. Corey says:

    Like the jeans. Actually makes her look like she has thighs and a butt…skinny jeans are good for that.

  38. Snowpea says:

    Poor old Leann is so boring these days because without all the crazy, she really is one very dull girl.

    Plus, the debacle with those McQueen hoofs shows she is still the same ol’ SWF we all know and love.

    Poor old Leann. Cripes, it sucks to be her these days.
