Marion Cotillard was nominated again last night, which was her second Oscar nomination (I could have sworn she had more) and she of course has one Academy Award already, for 2007’s La Vie en Rose. This year Marion was nominated for a French language Belgian film that barely anyone has seen called Two Days, One Night. (I did see her in The Immigrant, she was excellent in that and she was up for a Spirit Award for that role, which went to Julianne Moore.) As per usual, Marion was in Dior, and as we’ve come to expect, it was offbeat. She was in an all white sleeveless Dior gown with a slight side train and a large circle print.
Cotillard was styled in a late 50s/early 60s vibe, and the whole look is very Zooey Deschanel at the Golden Globes. Plus the dress had tons of gathered fabric at the back that ended in a black band under her butt. So weird.
This is what Cotillard wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar party, and it’s not much better. I’m glad she didn’t wear this strange getup to the ceremony. What happens when Marion collaborates with designers? Do they drink pastis, smoke hash and come up with the strangest designs possible, using the most fabric? (Update: this outfit is not Dior, it’s a Giambattista Valli.) This dress is like the top of Julianne Moore’s Spirit Awards dress (also Dior) meets the bottom of Bjork’s swan dress (Valentino) with a giant black band at the waist topped with a jaunty white sash, tied into a half-assed bow. Just no.

She was wearing a shower curtain.
The butt looks like jlaws white/black dress the internet had a field day with. Why would they bring that back?
Marion is just trolling us, right?
Gawd I hope so. She’s got all the right qualities to bring back old school glamour, but instead she dresses like she stepped out of a Picasso.
That second dress looks like a sea gull trying to eat unicorn vomit. Ugh. I actually winced when I saw it.
Oh, God, LOL! perfect description.
Two incredibly ugly dresses.
Dress was oddly boxy, no shape. All her dresses are not flattering at all. Should have given her a waist, she looks beautiful as always.
Shapeless, and not fancy enough for the oscars, I thought. But I usualky expect next-level fuggery from Marion.
Remember when she used to wear nice dresses? No? *sigh* it’s been a while…
jesssssuuuusss christ that was straight up scroll down Fug at it’s Finest
Her closet must be …interesting.
Oof, both of these are…not good. I wouldn’t hate the first dress if it wasn’t so big and bustle-y in the back. I appreciate the vibe they were going for but it really doesn’t look good. And the less said about that second dress, the better.
The first is interesting, although not incredibly flattering. The second is a one day craft seminar for scouts using cotton balls, a hand towel, misc. bottle caps and fake gems that fell off of necklaces and rings, and lastly, dried BILE VOMIT. Sorry, I usually like her fashion risks, but this one is kind of a dumpster fire.
I nominate you for comment of the DAY!!!
Dior, go to your room. You can come back out and sit with the adults when your behavior is better. You can’t disrespect people like this anymore.
Bwahaha yesssss!!!
Maybe it’s the lack of sleep from crying on my pillow all night for Keaton, but her first dress kinda looks like she’s a white ninja turtle.
It harkens a 1960s egg/ ovalia chair to me!
I like the first one from the front, she’s so pretty that I think she can carry out something that understated. But then the back? Ugh. And her party dress is a nightmare! She has such quirky taste, and Dior is such a mess, it’s a bad combination.
Marions dress doesnt look terrible from the front ( a little boring) but the back of it is soooo ugly. I dont see why it needed extra fabric there. I LOVE her earrings though…
Dior, save all the ugly clothes for JLaw. MC is a queen and deserves to be treated as such.
Yeesh! Both dresses are horrid. The second looks like she tied a sweatshirt around her waist.
omg wtf… the first two pictures were just so so and then that third picture. is that a diaper or something…
I love Marion but why does she do this to herself? Why not go out and buy yourself a vintage French gown with your own money in a chic Paris store and look elegant for a change? No matter how much I would like a free dress, I would rather go and buy one for myself than be photographed in those atrocities.
Cause she’s getting paid a lot of money to wear these? She does prove however she would even look beautiful in a potato sack, as evidenced here.
Wouldn’t she be perfect in 1920’s-style dresses?!?! Omg.
I agree with a comment I read that said she looked like sushi with that band in the back. I kind of like it. The dress she wore to the Vanity Fair party is a no but she really can pull off crazy designs that would look absolutely awful on most other women.
I love it (the first dress). Shes just stunning. So classically French. Miles above the rest <3
Glittery caterpillars are marching up the bodice of that dress to Eat Her HEAD!
the collab description is hilarious 😀
I like her fashion choices, but unlike say, Blanchett’s, they are rarely flattering, even though she is beautiful. It’s so odd, yet, interesting. I guess that’s just her style to elegantly not blend in 😀
God Dior has really gone down the tubes haven’t they? Just awful. Both looks are awful.
The first dress looks like fancy toilet paper.
She looked AWFUL.
She reminded me of a piece of sushi wrapped in Japanese seaweed.
Dior needs to sober up pronto.
I absolutely hated The Immigrant- total waste of actors.
Hated these dresses-when did the wear white memo go out? Loved what they had her wear for the Ceasar’s. I think the sediment is mistaking busy for edgy- it’s not.
I liked Marion’s first dress….until I saw the back. WTF? And even more WTF….WTF is wrong with Dior? I can’t draw. and I can guarantee you that any design I draw will be 10000000000000000000x better than the shit they’re coming up with. Good Lord. I’d be embarrassed if I were them.
Bjork’s 2001 swan dress is not Valentino. It’s Marjan Pejoski which Valentino reimagined at its Spring 2014 Couture fashion show at Paris Fashion Week.
Another ugly Dior.
I might be crazy but I LOVE both these dresses. The polka dots and different fabrics are so cool, and I like the kimono-esque back, it sort looked like a cape to me. Call be crazy but I am so into it, and it looks like she has room to breathe unlike 90% of the ladies there.
The second look was fully cracked out, which is her MO and I love her for it. The sequins on the top are incredible and I love the fullness of the skirt, the tiers/folds, and the length. The toilet paper tied around the waist is maybe one design trick to many, but in a room or beige, strapless dresses I will pick this every single time.
You know what? I’m starting to come around to Marion’s quirky sense of style. I loved that cosmic dress sweater thing she wore in yesterday’s pics and I love her Oscar gown here. As for what she wore to the Vanity Fair party, I don’t know how to feel except to say I don’t outright hate it.
i LOVE everything she wears…always.
and the cosmis dress and sweater from the other day was just gorgeous.
it is rare that someone as tiny as marion – and i mean not tall as well – can pull off styles with so much going on.
others would get eaten up…but not her.
the quirky styles compliment her face…her IT factor.
i love all of them…she’s magnificent.
my girl crush 😍
can’t help it…
I actually like it too. I normally am not a fan of weird fashion, but it is working for me. Except for the Vanity Fair thing.
Yikes. Looks like a bad bubble wrapped mess. Would Dior put their spokesmodel, charlize in these eyesores? Never.
I thought the second dress was a joke that someone had photo shopped to show two bad dresses together. Who, if they are sober, would design something that horrid. The first one from the back reminds me of a droopy diaper on a baby. Both just no, but especially the second horror of horrors.
Marion’s white dress reminds me of bubble wrap. Lol.
My husband walked into the room while I was watching the red carpet and said her dress looked like an empty Connect 4 board. The dress isn’t terrible from the front but that butt band? No, just no.
Making another comment: if she weren’t French, and a previous Oscar winner, and beautiful, this dress would absolutely be mocked. Imagine J Lo daring to wear it. It’s a hideous bedsheet, just call it what it is.
Maxi pad. That’s it. Just needed wings, and off she would have flown. I love MC, so beautiful, but that super-absorbent dress looks like one of those pads you would only use in a period emergency. It is the finest couture from the House Of Kotex I have seen this season.
@ kri – spot on, lol.
Oh my, I’m dying at the accuracy of this comment. Lol you win.
I loved Marion’s Oscar dress. It was so her, and she looked beautiful. I just love it on her.
I love her eyebrows. I hate that dress.
Drinking, smoking hash & playing with fabric?! Where is the application! I swear I’d do better (drunk & high) then the people she has now. Marion- call me!
I love both dresses. The first one is INCREDIBLE. It’s definitely referencing the 18th century robe a la francais also known as the sack-back gown. (I am a huge fashion history nerd and studied period costume construction.) Marion never fails to disappoint and I always know that whatever she wears will be intriguing and inspiring.
