Here are some photos from last night’s Glamour Magazine Women of the Year event. Glamour honored several prominent women in culture and it seemed like a nice evening. Unfortunately, the fashion was kind of meh-to-bad. Let’s start with Lupita Nyong’o in this custom Jason Wu. Lupita was and is a style star. Even from the very beginning, when she first started showing up to red carpets, she was always notable and interesting and often wonderful. But this seems… wrong. Ill-suited for her beauty. Is the color off? Is the design too conservative for her? Is her hair throwing everything off? I do miss Lupita’s short hair. Still, does she seem like a bitchy ice princess to you?
Here’s Reese Witherspoon in Erdem. Erdem is increasingly popular with a certain segment of ladies who enjoy “fussy” dresses. That’s how I think of them. Like, there’s something too uptight, too lacy, too high-collared about Erdem these days. This dress is a good example of that fussy trend – there’s no real reason for the lace at the top. Instead of making Reese look ancient, it makes her look like she’s wearing her school-aged daughter’s frock.
Victoria Beckham wore her own VB design, of course, and her son Brooklyn was her date. She must love the fact that her sons are getting old enough to walk red carpets with her.
Sofia Bush in Zac Posen. The satin looks kind of cheap, right? I would have been more into this if it was designed as a two piece, like a mermaid skirt and a cropped satin top with cap sleeves. I think the whole idea of cutting off the fabric at the breast is weird, and it leads to weird satin bulges in the mid-section.
Karlie Kloss in Thierry Mugler. Meh. It’s not a “boring navy dress,” but it’s not all that noteworthy either.
Selena Gomez in patent-leather Valentino. I… don’t have words. The design is “schoolgirl” but the patent leather is “dominatrix.”

Call me crazy Kaiser, but I actually really like both Lupita’s and Selena’s dresses….
Crazy with you cause i love em Both as well
Add me to the list. I love it. I also like Victorias dress, but that face….???
Ah yes me too!
Maybe the color is not the best for Lupita.. but the cut looks good and also the fit.
I love Selena’s dress. In fact I want one myself!
I think I would like this dress better if it was charcoal gray, otherwise it’s lovely.
Also, you’re supposed to be at the gym, qwarg. 😉
Ah yes gray! What about a disco ball silver gray?
This dress is too cute, but maybe it should be a little bit shorter.
I’m on my way to the gym while I munch on my last piece of chocolate.
I love Selena’s dress!
Me too!
Is it just that photo or is Posh’s face super tweaked? Also Lupita’s lipstick is off somehow.
Before reading the text I thought “who is this woman who looks like Posh spice but with a weird mouth?” I guess that’s bc we see her teeth ^_^
sofia, I think she has had her knashers done, and they are too big! I like VB, but her dentist should be admonished for this travesty.
@ antipodean – I couldn’t quite figure out what was “off”, but I think you nailed it with the veneers…
Posh got lip fillers I think…
EDIT: Just looked at some other pics from last night and she doesn’t look quite as different as she does here.
True.
i think posh got veneers.
Something something with the lips I too Paused like ..wait ..what?
Something is definitely up with VB’s mouth area
Her teeth look strange – too white or something. Maybe it’s because she usually smiles with her lips together?
Victoria usually doesn’t smile at all of course, allegedly because she didn’t like her teeth being seen rather than because she was a miserable cow or felt that pouting looked classier…Ridiculous, it’s not as if she couldn’t afford to get them sorted years ago. She seemed to give a forced Looking grin at one Point last night. I like Lupita’s dress, and Yes I like Reese’s too. The wipe clean one not so much, though handy for any wine spillages.
I thought the same then zoomed in. Looks like they caught her mid sentence. I got nothin but VB love, please never eff too much with your face, Posh.
Something looks different about her nose too….like she’s had that cute little uplift at the end straightened out or something – and yes, def veneers.
New chompers for sure.
Her mouth is open. She always poses with the same face and this open mouth midsentence snap is very different from her standard pose. I almost feel bad for thinking she looks so different, doesn’t she not smile because she hates her teeth (or something).
This is how unforgiving satin is: it can even make Sofia Bush look bad.
Reese’s dress is the worst sh*t I’ve ever seen in my life. I would like Lupita’s dress more either without the peplum, or without the cap sleeves.
I can’t believe how big Posh’s son is! Holy sh*t…I feel old. Her face looks different..lip fillers or is it just because she doesn’t have her trademark sullen look?
Could be the angle, but I’m almost seeing a nose job.
I legit cackled at Reese’s get up.
Sophia Bush is a lovely woman, and that dress makes her look like someone’s frumpy bridesmaid.
Brooklyn looks as if he could be a member of The Jonas Brothers. He’s a good looking young man.
Really? I was looking at him and thinking that there’s no way he would have been picked by Burberry if he weren’t a Beckham. Seriously, I see better looking kids that age at the hockey arena every week. (And I am not just talking about mine:-), LOL)
Not wanting to diss the kid but yes, he’s quite pleasantly average looking.
Not buying the bitchy ice princess bs at all.
I believe it.
God, all of the fashion is brutal really. Reese’s is the worst – gak! And I’m already tired of pimp mama Beckham. Pushing the next generation on us a la the Kardashians. Honestly, her boys are decent looking but they are not model material.
What the F happened to VB’s face? Her lips are so puffy she can’t even close her mouth. She looks like that blonde skeleton who used to be on fashion police now.
I like the cut of Lupita’s dress, it suits her and gives her nice curves. Sophia Bush looked like a mother of the bride. I like some of Erdem designs but Reese’s dress is hideous beyond words.
> like some of Erdem designs but Reese’s dress is hideous beyond words.
It still doesn’t compare to the horror Kate wore 2 weeks ago. I don’t know what the Erdem designer was thinking.
Reese’s dress would be tolerable but it washes her out.
As some noted above, I’m loving Lupita & Selena’s dresses…the looks somehow work on them.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed VB’s teeth? Maybe it’s just that pic but she kinda looks like she has horse teeth in that particular one and I have never seen her teeth that prominent especially on a red carpet in any pic.
I think she is too thin, and also the make up on the cheeks , together they create this effect.
There’s a reason why you never see her smiling
I love Lupita’s dress! Maybe it’s the colour that’s a bit off, even though I like that colour, because the cut makes her figure look awesome.
I also basically like Selena Gomez’s dress. The dominatrix and the schoolgirl cancel each other out to make something pretty cool-looking.
Wow, there’s not a dress in the bunch I like. Lipita’s dress is pretty nice, but I think the color is wrong? Wrong, wrong for her. Katherine Heigl would look good in it (random, I know).
Lupita’s gown was probably beautiful in person. I love it!
Reese W. : yikes! Nope nope nope!
Selena Gomez: love the dress. The shoes, nope.
