Jennifer Aniston in blue Saint Laurent at the Critics’ Choice: lovely or tragic?

wenn23372819

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were surprise guests at last night’s Critics Choice Awards. By that I mean that I was surprised to see them, because I forgot that Justin Theroux was finally nominated for something for The Leftovers. While Justin didn’t end up winning Best Actor in a Drama series, he and Jennifer were two of the biggest names at the event, which was sparsely attended.

Jennifer also chose this moment to debut a new look. And by “new,” I mean a look that was pretty dated and ‘90s, but it’s new for her. She’s gotten ultra-blonde highlights upfront, and she was doing something different with her makeup. The result was enough to make me quit bitching about how she never changes anything up. I was wrong! She shouldn’t change anything up, ever. Because her new look is no bueno. The blonde highlights combined with the too-dark eyes make her look like an over-the-hill biker babe.

Jennifer’s dress also didn’t do her any favors. She wore this Saint Laurent gown in a pale blue, which was actually on-trend for the night (SO MANY women wore this color). But the design? Yikes. Everyone thought she accidentally split her dress up the middle, the slit was so high. And the bust ruffle is just… bad. The whole thing is really bad. She needs a mulligan on the whole look, quite honestly. But I guess we should be happy that she tried to change it up. And I’m happy that she walked at least one carpet during this awards season – it feels like forever since we’ve seen her on a red carpet.

As for Justin… he looks quite “tight” doesn’t he? A little Botox?

    She got worst dressed. The puckering seam down the front gave it a cheap off the rack look, twas said.

    But my gah, has she always looked this much like Streisand?! Or are they just getting closer in age?

    TIP: When your eyes are already tiny and beady-ish, rimming them in black just emphasizes the beadyness.

    Her foundation doesn’t match the rest of her.

    He looked overjoyed to be there, she looked miffed and depressed she was in the tv plebe section again. Story of her life.

    A friend of his, made a joke at his expense, wondered where he bought his new hair, said he didn’t have this much hair 10 years ago when he knew him. Bahaha.

    So happy Rami Malik won for Mr. ROBOT.

    • Nancy says:

      Yikes. Was it really that bad? Seems like Jennifer is going to be taking body blows since everyone called out someone else yesterday for looking sickly and skinny. Not fair, but typical.

      • V4Real says:

        Listen I said AJ looked unnaturally skinny. I will own that. But Jennifer Aniston does not look too good here. The dress is horrible and it doesn’t fit properly. Her hair looks as if she just said oh whatever let’s go. And what’s the purpose of that high front slit.

      • Jessica says:

        What’s typical is mentioning Jolie when this article doesn’t have anything to do with her. Why?

        Let’s leave Jolie out of this and be real. Her dress is a mess. I’ve seen her wear prettier dresses. Last night, this one wasn’t working for her. The cut is terrible. By reading the comments, most people think the same. I guess they are all “Jolie” fans.

      • blue banana says:

        and yet, you three continue to perpetuate.

        the dress is certainly of a particular style… it’s fine, IMO.

      • Carmen says:

        Nobody was talking about Angie until you had to drag her into it. That blue dress just screams K-Mart. The fit is awful, the slit is too high and it looks tacky. And for God’s sake can she do something — anything — different with her hair?

      • Goo says:

        Jennifer looks fabulous! Love the hair… Hell, if she had done an up-do, you’d bitch about that also. Thank God her arms and and legs aren’t pencil thin, and projecting breadsticks. Toned and fabulous!


        Someone above stated her dress screamed Kmart… Ha! Obviously you have never seen Coture or, owned a Coture dress. Bless your heart.

        She’s happy and loving her life… Can’t say that I blame her!

      • Anne tommy says:

        Not a great look on Jen, she usually looks Good but not here. I always think Justin
        Would be a really attractive guy if he’d stop messing around with The dyeing, plucking, waxing and whatever.

      • Priya says:

        She still looks pretty, IMO

    • Tina says:

      Jennifer has had a lot of work done, if you look at pictures of her on Friends, she does not look like she does now.

      • Nancy says:

        Tina: Friends has been off the air for a decade or a bit longer. Of course she looks different, she’s almost 50 years old. She has the time and money and obviously uses it on trainers as she has a very fit and healthy body. She may have had things done to her face, but nothing outrageous like her buddy Courtney. To me, she’s the one of the “friends” that is the saddest to look at. She took that beautiful natural face and morphed it into the cat lady. You would think these ladies would learn from their peers mistakes, but I guess you never believe it will happen to you until it does.

      • Emma - The JP Lover says:

        @Tina ..

        Oh Tina, didn’t you know that ‘everyone’ wears extensions and has work done on their face except for all-natural Jen? 🙂

        I agree with you. Jennifer has that tight-mouth-because-I’ve-just-had-work-done-on-my-face look in the photos.

      • La La Land says:

        I gotta say she’s better looking that any of the Friends cast to date … her face is starting to sag … but at least she doesn’t seem to put much filler in her face that much anymore. I’ve entered my forties … ahem, by now … and it sucks that I’m having similar issues. Ladies, if you’re still kind of young, be VERY careful with fillers. Also, if you choose to have any surgical remedy to maintain tightening of your skin, check out the mini face lifts scenarios or less invasive Utlatherapy or something like that. Man o man, do I wish there was more of a breath thru scientific remedy on these procedures that wasn’t as invasive but more effective and natural looking. A an old girl can dream. But by then, I will be really an old girl. I’m pulling for all the nerds in Med school!

        As well, I wish we could get insurance too…even if it would be hella expensive per month, I’d sure be down! I’m too immature to be old!

    • QQ says:

      I’m gonna have to agree, also the highlights are meant to distract that something is going on with her cheeks?? is that It?

      Also I kinda Love that she is still presenting and being a Plus one and Somehow His profile/acting already surpassed her Hahahahh Too funny ( but he was Outstanding this year in Leftovers even if Rami Malek and his incredible face totally have all the awards coming to him)

      • Jag says:

        Her mouth looks different to me with the way she’s holding it. I agree that the hair is a distraction for whatever she had done.

    • McLori says:

      The strange way she’s holding/pursing her mouth? What is that about? Cheek implants?

      • QQ says:

        I tought the same, like I don’t understand but its her cheek/jaw something I dont even know

      • Jaded says:

        I guess everybody is copying the “Carrie Fisher” mouth-pursing now. Dress meh…hair meh…make-up woa girl, save that for the biker bar.

      • zinjojo says:

        Combination of fillers in the lips and I’ll bet she also wears Invisalign braces or retainers. The fillers puff your lips just a bit, but the Invisaligners move your bite around so your mouth ends up with a weird, pursed, Carrie Fisher look.

      • Esmom says:

        zinjojo, what? My son wore invisaligns and his mouth looks exactly the same as it did before, his teeth are just straighter. If I had a dollar for every time the camera caught me making a weird face, I’d be rich. I’m sure celebs have the same issue.

      • zinjojo says:

        Esmom, I guess they work differently on different people. I wore them for the past couple of years and am now down to the retainer, and they have definitely changed my bite so I have to be conscious of not holding my mouth in a pursed position. I was filmed for a recent work thing, and the video made me so aware that I was doing a Carrie Fisher mouth (without lots of fillers).

      • Esmom says:

        zinjojo, My son is also at the retainer stage. Hopefully they changed your bite in the way the dentist intended! I hate seeing myself on video, I always seem to look worse than I imagined I did at the time.

      • tracking says:

        She looks normal when she smiles, but a little odd in these pics where she doesn’t. Between the sun and LT smoking (even if she’s now quit), pretty sure she gets fillers and/or Botox around her mouth. That must feel weird when freshly done.

    • Lahdidahbaby says:

      I think the dress is one of the worst I’ve ever seen on a runway. Period. The slit is horrid–far too high, all puckery, and in the MIDDLE rather than at one side. Omggg. And yes the eyeliner is too harsh.

      BUT there are things I think are quite good here:

      1. The color is lovely on Jen–really looks nice with her eyes and hair.

      2. Their body-language is sweet–like they belong together and are reveling in it.

      3. I’m glad she’s let her hair grow out from that awful last cut. She’s meant to be a longhaired girl.

      4. For once, Justin looks really happy and comfortable. He was wonderful on The Leftovers.

      I don’t get the wholesale dissing of everything she wears, does, is. But that dress is maybe the worst I’ve seen. Looks like a chamois used to wash her car. So unfortunate!

      • doofus says:

        I could ditto everything about your post.

        the color is SO pretty and looks great on her – glad it’s not black, again! – but the style of it is terrible. the slit, the ruffles…just NO. don’t mind the hair but (the one thing I disagree with you on) I’d like it shorter. she looked so good with that bob she had on Friends.

      • WillowS says:

        Love the color of the dress and I think her hair looks fine but her make-up and the dress itself are bad-very unflattering. However, I think she looks younger than almost 47. Whatever she’s doing or has had done works well for her-she doesn’t look “over done” or obviously enhanced. It’s funny to me that people say she “looks old.” I don’t know anyone her age in my day to day life who looks as good as she does.

      • Priya says:

        I completely agree!

    • LAK says:

      She’s looked like Streisand.

    • Jolene says:

      Jennifer looks beautiful in the close up photo — glad it was included! The pale blue color is gorgeous on her and I love the stacked solitaire necklaces. But yes that dress design is “no bueno” — “twat says” — is that right?

    • Alexi says:

      I love the over the hill biker babe reference! It’s like highend “sons of anarchy”- although can anyone tell me who the gorgeous necklaces are by? She definitely has more Botox and fillers in this one, a little. Herbicide looking like from her leprechaun film debut days…..although I have to say I always thinks she looks attractive.

    • blue banana says:

      wrong spot again.

    • No patience says:

      they both look somewhat odd. But Jen! It’s time for her to realize that she’s past the age of showing so much skin. It was trying TOO HARD. That slit up the front was too high and the dress was too revealing….flab under her arms showed…..truthfully, I think she was stoned when she got dressed! That’s fine if it works but not here. She’s such a pretty woman…..this look just was very bad….
      She needs less make up and more clothing. With her money…get a better stylist ….

    • bluevelvet says:

      I think she looked absolutely gorgeous~! I’m no JA fan, but damn…. she is smoking hot. She must be getting some good action from Justin. 46? wow….

    • Sass says:

      Hair, makeup and dress all screamed 80’s senior prom.

    • FLORC says:

      The puckered seam looked like a really bad scar pressing its way out.

      The dress color I thought was nice, but favor her in deeper tones. And her makeup ages her greatly. Maybe 1 of her worst looks.

  2. ell says:

    the dress seems something i could buy on the high street, and probably wouldn’t because the material seems cheap.

    it’s so frustrating though, these people are dressed by stylists whose sole job is to make them look good, with a well cut dress that fits them well. i’d want my money back if i had to wear that dress! i also wish jen would stop tanning, her skin looks like that of someone 20 years older. she’s not naturally tan, i suspect her skin tone is actually quite fair and you can see she has huge amounts of sun damage. sigh.

  3. Tredd says:

    Her makeup looks GREAT.

    • BossyKat says:

      The HQs are not flattering. Makeup is caked on. Plus your face isn’t supposed to be 4 shades lighter than your body.

      I was wondering about tanning beds and self Tanner, can it stain your skin forever? She has a perma jaundiced/orange look. If she stopped wonder if she’d go back to her normal skin tone, or maybe she can’t?

      • kate says:

        Fake tan won’t permanently stain your skin, you could wipe off every trace with tan remover and be back to your natural skintone within minutes. Tanning beds can make hyper-pigmentation darker but won’t keep you permanently tan.

    • Naya says:

      The makeup does look great. The dress is awful though.

      • Janet R says:

        I could live with the dress if it weren’t for that ridiculous slit – who on earth is going to look good in that?! I don’t understand why these dresses are not designed to enhance.

      • Franny says:

        Lol, her make up looks bad, whats so great about it? Did you see how thick her foundation is? Its like tons and yet you can still see her huge pores. She is looking more like tom hanks wife rita wilson.

        I would prefer angie’s thin body than jennifer’s chunky one. Boy, what happened to the healthy diet and exercise that she always talk in magazines. Maybe she just forget to talk about all the booze that she drinks all the time.

      • sa says:

        @Franny, chunky? Really? I don’t even have a comment about that because I’m too stunned that someone would look at her and think “chunky.”

      • Snowflake says:

        Wow, if that’s chunky, sign me up! Lol! I shudder to think what you’d say if you saw me. Lol. Jens always had a banging body. Angie’s got the face.

      • doofus says:

        “chunky”?! yeahno.

    • tracking says:

      Yes, love the makeup, color of the dress, and styling (I covet that jewelry and the shoes), but the seaming and super-high slit were a no. Looked better in motion though. I’ve said this a million times (as have others), would look so much better going back to darker hair.

    • Jegede says:

      @Tredd – Yup. Especially love the eyes (makes up for the dress).

    • embertine says:

      Wow, really? I think her makeup looks AWFUL. She looks as though she has no lips and her foundation’s all over the place. And for a woman who has really pretty eyes she sure knows how to make them look tiny.

      • epiphany says:

        I’m with you, the makeup is much too harsh. She looks like she should have a long neck Bud in her hand, and a cigarette dangling out of her mouth. And why is the slit of that dress in the middle over her crotch?!?! Isn’t the idea of a slit to show off leg, not nether regions? Wonder what The Eyebrow thought of it? Oh well, really doesn’t matter, as I’m sure he’s at LAX already waiting for his flight back to NYC!

      • Shambles says:

        Yeah, I’m with you Embertine. The makeup is bad bad, IMO. I’m of the firm opinion that no one should ever wear black-ringed eyeliner. Ever.
        A good line on the upper eyelid really opens and defines the eyes without making them look tiny and racoonish. The super-harsh eyes and super-harsh highlights are doing her no favors. It’s like bad “sons of anarchy” styling.

      • StormsMama says:

        Shambles
        It TOTALLY is Sons of Anarchy styling!!!
        I’m shocked at how cheap and “low classy” (as Lainey’s mom says) she looks. That slit is AWFUL to the point of embarrassing. She looks old and I’m not age bashing. That dress looks like something Courtney love wore mid nineties and just dug out of her closet last week. It looks like it still reeks. All she needs are doc martens and a studded choker and she’s good to go 😜

    • Becks says:

      I actually love her make up! I think the dark eyeliner really makes her baby blues stand out.
      She looks great, although I don’t care for the dress. I prefer her minimalist style.

  4. Minxx says:

    “she looked like over-the-hill biker babe”.. LOL. She was a bit of a mess, the dress is shapeless, the slit way too high and there is something definitely wrong with her mouth. He, on the other hand, looked happy though super tight on the face. But they look happy together so good luck to them.

    • BossyKat says:

      I think she’s been restalyn-ing her mouth for a while now. Didn’t she used to have a lockjaw underbite thing happening which gave her a distinctive way of moving her mouth. i think she had a jaw realignment. Add to that the restyline and sometimes it seems she can’t move her mouth correctly.

      • Ava says:

        Didn’t she claim Justin will “kill” her if she had any surgeries done?

        Here is clearly she has lots done.

  5. minx says:

    Too much tanning, too much eye makeup, slit too high, highlights too pronounced.
    She needs something other than that beachy look. It’s aging.

    • minx says:

      And that bust ruffle is so sad looking–uneven and droopy.

    • BossyKat says:

      @minx
      She’s ‘Goldie Hawn 0.5.’ Lol

      • Minxx says:

        So true!
        another thing: why can’t they ever had the hems of the dresses shortened not to drag on the floor? I’m not just talking about Jennifer but almost every actress has the same problem – they have stylists, seamstresses etc. but nobody ever cares. Is it stylish to step on your dress? Maybe I’m missing something but it’s a pet peeve of mine.

      • Palar says:

        Is it because the dresses are borrowed Minx and they need to be returned?

      • kate says:

        Most actresses are short. The dresses are made for tall people. If you remove as much fabric as you would have to, the whole design would be affected. Letting it drag doesn’t affect the design nearly as much.

        If it’s a custom dress made especially for the actress then it will be properly tailored, but that’s an expensive undertaking. It’s not just about cutting inches off the hem, every proportion would be tweaked, the whole design may be changed. People like Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett usually have customized dresses for events, because they actually help sell couture, but otherwise it’s reserved for big premieres at Cannes, the Oscars etc.

      • Emma - The JP Lover says:

        @Kate, who wrote: “People like Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett usually have customized dresses for events, because they actually help sell couture, but otherwise it’s reserved for big premieres at Cannes, the Oscars etc.”

        Do they? Nicole is 5’11” and Cate is 5’8.5″ tall, and both have long waists and svelte, long-limbed frames. They could probably wear the majority of designer clothes right off the runway without alterations. Jennifer Aniston is (reportedly, though I think her height is fudged) 5’4.5″ tall and she insists on wearing designer clothes that don’t fit her frame and height, even in those 5″heels she likes to wear. The woman has over $100 million in the bank. The ‘expense’ of having well-tailored gowns and pantsuits are within her grasp. Other short women manage to do it, so it’s not an impossible feat.

    • yolo112 says:

      …that slit though.. good lawd! you can *just* about see her crotchal region.. I have no words for everything else. …I lied. its all tragic. she and Courtney have really F’d themselves up.

  6. lilacflowers says:

    While I’m glad that she decided to wear a color for once, that dress is just the worst. It looks like something my mother would have whipped together – and my mother cannot sew.

    • minx says:

      I have a hard time thinking someone would try on that dress and say, this is it. This is the one!

      • zinjojo says:

        I agree — did her stylist not bring any other options? While the color is nice, everything else is terrible. And I hate chunky highlights with a burning, white-hot passion. They will always look trashy, and paired with the makeup, she looks terrible.

        I get that black eyeliner is a big makeup trend right now, but it doesn’t work for everybody!

      • Pandy says:

        Yes! What was she thinking? Bad make up and a horrendous dress. That slit! The puckering material. And the too light caked on foundation and raccoon eyes. Wow. She usually looks better than this.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Yes, and I imagine it costs a fortune. That seam down the front is inexcusable.

      • vauvert says:

        Everything about that dress is unfortunate, her makeup is horrible, and whoever helped her put this look together should be fired and go back to school for a new career. That eye makeup is unflattering and aging and I cannot imagine wearing that sad sack… I bought a simple $200 gown for Christmas that looks way better, and once I had it shortened actually fits like a glove. How hard is it to get this right? How cheap must you be to just put on any rag given for free rather than spending a bit of your wealth to look put together? I do hope she didn’t pay for it because that would be just insulting, to spend money and look this bad.

    • Little Darling says:

      HAHAHAHAHA! and my mother cannot sew!

      This dress definitely has the feel of a home ec pattern project gone wrong.

      It also makes her midsection look really frumpy, bloated almost, and we all know she has an amazing body.

      I mean, the fit and pull is really awful!

      • JoJo says:

        I totally agree about the midsection. My first thought was that she was pregnant. She’s definitely got a pooch going on.
        But this is definitely a horrible look for her. That dress is absolutely hideous.

    • someone says:

      Why the puckering seam up the front? Just…why? It’s not as obvious in these pictures but the pictures on the Daily Mail show how weird that seam really was. Why put it in the front of the dress anyway, put it in the back where it won’t show.

  7. serious says:

    Her new hair is really bad, like she did it with at home highlighter kit. Sad cause she can look great when she actually tries for a more polished look.

  8. Canadian Becks says:

    Wonder if she did something to her teeth she’s not happy about. Based on these pictures, she seems to be, “Must NOT show teeth….Must NOT show teeth!”

  9. Camila says:

    What a terrible dress jfc. It’s so, so, so shitty. And the bust thing? And what the hell is happening in the stomach? It’s almost like she pulled a thread fucked up the whole thing… TERRIBLE. It doesn’t make her look good, it’s shapeless, and everyone knows she has good figure.
    Why would she think this is good idea/look? Does it make her look even more orange? I think so… just…. uugh
    WHY?
    He did look very happy, so that was nice

  10. GlimmerBunny says:

    The dress is the worst thing she has EVER worn!! Unflattering, cheap, dated – there is nothing redeemable about it.

  11. Betti says:

    That dress was horrible and dated. I like her but she generally has a dated look. She has a great bod and is an attractive woman.

    There seems to be a slew of women sporting the Carrie Fisher pout – Jennifer’s doing it in the top photo. She have her lips done?

    • Emma - The JP Lover says:

      @Betti …

      Jennifer has had the ‘pursed lips’ thing (what you’re calling the Carrie Fisher pout) thing off and on for the last 5 or 6 years. It was first discussed here at “Celebitchy” just before her film “Wanderlust” was released.

  12. Esmom says:

    I know people will bash her here no matter what but I think she looks good except for the too-high slit on the dress. So sue me…

  13. Jegede says:

    Her face looks beautiful. There’s that I guess.

  14. Franny Days says:

    She is styled really horribly and her makeup reminds me of my junior prom makeup, so terrible but happens to the best of us. Really I blame her makeup artist! But her body looks great as usual.

  15. Armenthrowup says:

    Colour of the dress is lovely but the style is grim. She looks relly pretty though – and healthy which is more than I can say of some other people.

  16. Jegede says:

    What the he-ll?? *shaking my head*

  17. NewWester says:

    Why does Justin look so “shiny” in photos?

  18. What's inside says:

    That color of blue which has been the fashion choice this season is awful on every single person I have seen wear it. Now couple that with an ill-fitting sack of a dress and it should go in the trash just as soon as she can get home.

    • Esmom says:

      Really? I was just thinking how pretty that color is on everyone I have seen wear it.

    • minx says:

      I agree about the color. It’s personal preference–I don’t like colors that have a grayish tint to them–looks dirty to me. If you’re going to go pale blue, go really pure, clear blue.

  19. Caz says:

    Everything is just so wrong with this look.

  20. Miss E says:

    No matter what they say you can’t wear a bridesmaid dress again.

    • Jane says:

      ^This! Not to mention it looked as if she slept in that thing as well. I’m trying to figure out her “odd” grimace instead of a smile though.

    • Pansy says:

      Haha yes! I had one so much like this in 1999! Except you couldn’t see my ovaries.

  21. Nancy says:

    I see Jennifer’s “fans” are up early! I don’t like the dress, the top at least, but she looks great in that color. I like her hair and especially her eyes. She doesn’t usually wear that much makeup. I hate award show season bc the threads are so loaded with who looks good and who look shitty. It’s obviously one’s personal choice. Forgot it was Monday, still thinking I’m getting ready for church…GM

  22. Josephine says:

    His and her botox special? They both look awfully tight, but at least it shows that men are under pressure to have that smooth look as well. I’m just not a fan of the face not matching the rest of the body, and she’s hit that stage where her face looks too light and too smooth for the neck it’s on. I do think she went purposefully low-key because it’s his award show, and the color is nice. But I hate the dresses where I cringe when the person walks, for fear of seeing too much. A side slit seems safer!

  23. pandabird says:

    It looks like Justin did her eye makeup for her. Yikes!

  24. Jenns says:

    She looks terrible. That dress is something I would’ve bought for my homecoming dance at DEB or Rave in 1995. The make-up is awful. The hair is tragic. The tan is too much. And she’s hitting the Botox. How did this happen? Who is dressing her? You can do so much better than this, Aniston.

    I think Jennifer looks beautiful. I love her makeup, it really emphasis her beautiful eyes. I think her hair looks great also. The dress design is not good but I agree with another poster that it did look better in motion. She looks happy and healthy, good luck to her.

  26. The Original Mia says:

    Is the dress to distract from some wonky face work? Because it’s bad but while I’m averting my eyes from her crotch are, all I see is her pinched lips.

    • SusanneToo says:

      I hope she was wearing some nice panties. Otherwise, the sit-down view – yikes!

    • pk says:

      Yes her mouth looks really odd like she’s holding her breath.
      I think the highlights and longer hair are her best look, dated or not.

    • smcollins says:

      I was wondering the same thing. What is up with the pursed lips? But I don’t think she looks too bad. Yeah, the dress is a bit shapeless and that front slit doesn’t make sense me, but overall I think she looks nice. I like the color.

  27. Cara says:

    Ugh, that’s a bad look all around…the fabric of her dress looks cheap, the cut is awful and the color looks like a light blue that got dry cleaned in dirty solution 🙁

    A decent makeup artist should realize that lining both the upper and lower eye is making her eyes look smaller than necessary, as well as harsh. Don’t know what’s going on with her pursed mouth. ???

  28. norah says:

    the dress color was not flattering to her at all – especially with such an odd slit – her makeup was literally caked – on and her eye make up was too dark – the color being so light showed off her stomach which was unflattering as well. compare kate beckinsale who looked stunning and elegant

  29. Reine_Didon says:

    You look at Aniston and you feel like it’s 1998 again ! Except for the pout, that duck face is 2012.

  30. Tina says:

    What is going on with her mouth, seems like every picture Jennifer has taken lately. she has to pout. LOL Justin is probably on his way back to New York.

  31. Ollie says:

    i hate the slit, the front of the dress looks so unfinished! I´ve seen this dress in motion and then it looks good especially from the side….but the front…no just no.

    IMO the colour suits her! It matches her light blue eyes which may be the intention for the heavy black eyeliner. The blonde highlights look normal to me. I´ve often seen similiar styles, so it´s a non issue to me.

  32. Crumpet says:

    Too much Botox around the mouth – she obviously can’t smile. And she should never wear dark eyeliner to tightline. Like Sarah Jessica Parker (and myself). It only makes small eyes look smaller.

  33. serena says:

    Horrible dress, as for the supposed ‘changes’ I didn’t even realized them before you wrote it. To me she always looks the same.
    And yeah, Justin has been hittin on the ‘tox lately.. look at his forhead.

  34. lem says:

    I think her pursed lips are b/c even she knows she looks bad. I generally think she looks good but this dress is terrible. She is of the age where she needs to wear more structured styles, not the loose, flowy dresses. Had she worn a structured dress in the same color, I think it would have been loads better. Not a fan of the eye-makeup but also not the worst that I’ve seen.

  35. lucy2 says:

    I don’t mind the hair and makeup, but that dress is straight up awful.

  36. Sarah01 says:

    The colour is gorgeous, but the actual dress is terrible. The fabric, design and execution.

  37. maggie says:

    I think she looks beautiful. I like the dress and the colour looks so pretty on her.

  38. MrsBPitt says:

    She looks like she is wearing a sexy nightie! That had to be one of the worst dresses of the night!

  39. dAsh says:

    What the hell is she wearing? It looks like the 50 year curtain my dad has that accidentally ripped in the middle because somebody elbowed it and the fabric is too old so it tears down easily. I swear YSL hates her. Lol. The make up looks great but it doesn’t match her body.

  40. Luciana says:

    I think Jennifer looks great.

  41. Marianne says:

    Yeah..is that like a seam in the middle of the dress?

    Either way, its giving her an illusion of a baby bump.

  42. chick b says:

    The slit and the middle seam are awful. When I first took a quick look at the dress I thought the pic was from TIFF 2013 – the strapless number that was more well-constructed and the color had some oomph. I wish someone would show JA old pictures of herself to remind her of her natural coloring; after 40, tan just looks old.

    I’m trying to be a nicer person this year, but I get an irrational anger at rich people who just get richer by hawking a lot of expensive crap we don’t need. I know this has nothing to do with the CCA but my phone’s about to be turned off & I’m cranky!

  43. anne_000 says:

    Go to downtown Los Angeles’ fashion district, buy this dress for $11.99, then take a pair of scissors and cut it up the front to your crotch area. Done and dusted.

  44. lucy says:

    TRAGIC. Garment looks like it’s from American Apparel. Aniston looks like she has morphed into Joan van Ark.

  45. Heather Muntean says:

    I think she looks pretty, but that slit??? Whoa!!

  46. Green_Eyes says:

    The last photo she looks like an older Meg Ryan (had Meg not completely messed her face up). The dress color is nice.. It’s the style & sizing that is so off. I wear black eyeliner, but I have huge eyes.. Her makeup has looked better. The blonde streaks wouldn’t be bad either, but looks like she just got out of bed put on makeup in bad lightening & grabbed the wrong dress off the rack. She can look stunning when she tries. This was a very off day. Plus what is w/ the crazy facial expressions (mouth & chin)?

  47. Joanie says:

    She has an amazing body. That dress makes get look frumpy.

  48. Juniper says:

    That middle seam is just horrible. I don’t think that dress would look good on anyone. It’s not well made.

    • Maxime DuCamp says:

      All I could think about when I saw this dress was the reaction it would get on a Project Runway runway. The designer would get skewered for the awkward placement of the slit as well as how high it goes up, the awful ruffles, and the dreadful puckering of the seams. Yet those designers only get a day to design and sew a dress. This is (supposedly) haute couture. Or at least a haute couture designer’s ready to wear collection. Poor Yves Ste. Laurant must be rolling in his grave

  49. Elle says:

    I don’t like the dark eyes and highlights. I feel like if she had toned down hair and eyes.. The dress wouldn’t be so bad. I mean, it would still be bad but not SO awful. That shade of blue doesn’t compliment her spray tan.

    I would love to see her with lighter makeup, no spray tan, and auburn shade of hair for a change. She really is uniquely beautiful, but this look is all wrong.

  50. CuriousCole says:

    She seriously had nothing better in her closet? I swear I’ve seen her in less tragic variations of this dress over the last 15 years, she must’ve kept at least one. Justin looks good, but yes, a tad tight in the face.

  51. Yepisaidit says:

    She looks more like a dated soccer mom. 90s style dress and terribly heavy makeup. In some photos her eyes looked crossed… The eyeliners was a bad idea.
    Justin looks just fine and
    no, he doesn’t look as tight and as botoxed as Brad Pitt does these days. 😂

  52. Jess says:

    The slit is thirsty and the puckered seam is beyond cheap. Awful dress. And she really does look like she’s turning into Barbra Streisand (with less talent – I adore Babs!) Why do all these women think lining their eyes in thick black liner is a good look? It almost never works, including here.

    • benchwarmer says:

      I hear you on the heavy eye makeup even if I do think it works in this instance. I know SJP always has her icy blue eyes lined heavily giving her an alien beauty look. I have yellow green eyes, the color of pea soup and I used to line my eyes and do the whole smoky eye thing big time and it was striking because of the color contrast of light/dark…that said…when I turned 40 and I now have more lines around my eyes, it just doesn’t work anymore so I no longer do it. I wonder if it’s something to do with age, even bone structure, that when you reach an age where you no longer look 20-something it just looks off, harsh looking.

  53. benchwarmer says:

    Your comment about the biker chic hair/makeup was funny…nevertheless I still like the hair and heavy eye makeup and I never like makeup, I’m all about Angelina Jolie’s whisper of makeup and JCrew model makeup. But it’s an award show, so you can break out the khol. The hair is intriguing, it looks good to me. The dress…I like the color, bust ruffles, material, and overall design (nice to see her wear something other than a spaghetti strap slip dress) my issue was the slit being too high and there is a puckering along that center seam. How does shiz like that happen, who is not doing his/her job to overlook those two glaring flaws?

  54. KAREN says:

    This is a crime. With all her money and resources she looks like a hot mess. Her entire team from hairstylist, makeup artist and stylist need to be fired. The dress is the worst I have ever seen on her. The seam down the front looks like she burst out of it and she needed to do a quick repair. The makeup and hair are awful. She never knows how to do classy couture. The other Jennifers–Lawrence and Lopez know how to do it. They looked spectacular last week. She thinks she needs to look edgy next to her hipster husband.

    I assume Justin is on a plane back to NY. Enough to see her for a weekend. What a strange relationship.

  55. Reine_Didon says:

    He is having far too much botox and too much fake tan. His face is like stretched old leather.

  56. HeyThere! says:

    Yikes. The slit isn’t flattering. The weird boob ruffles are awkward. Her eyes are naturally small, so why go for the all over eyeliner?? It just makes them smaller. I could have styled her ten times better than this! Lots of unfortunate choices all wrapped into one.

  57. Donna says:

    The highlights look super cheap.
    Not at all up to her usual standard. Not a flattering cut of dress but the color is very pretty on her. I cannot get over those atrocious cheap highlights!
    That said, as far as “over the hill biker babe”, I think the highlights are more Jersey-shore.
    On another note, has anybody watched Cher in Mask lately? I watched it again last weekend and marveled at how utterly beautiful she was in that movie, playing an over the hill biker babe. Gosh she was pretty.

  58. iheartgossip says:

    Oh JenA. You scamp. Wearing that dress that appears poofy around your ‘core’. Gettin’ those tongues a-wagin’, again. And there’s a blind out there about Justin do some cheatin’ on his shoot local. Could get messy.

    • Domestos says:

      Well he cheated with Jen so I don’t doubt he’d cheat on her. What she has on her hands is a cheater. I doubt she is truly happy and secure. I wouldn’t be, if I married a man who cheated with me on his previous s.o.

  59. Colette says:

    I’m shocked Lainey called her worst dressed.I though she loved her some Jen.

  60. meg says:

    to me, her dress looks ill fitting. it’s too loose around her midsection

  61. Tara says:

    Beautiful color. I can tolerate the ruffle. Everything else is tragic considering her resources. The puckered front seam. The front slit. The heavy make up. The Y2k chunk highlights. Center part trauma.

    I agree she looks a bit like Joan Van Ark… With a smidge of Amy Schumer.

  62. Karen says:

    As predicted Daily Mail shows Justin jetting out of LA. Why doesn’t JA ever go with him? They must have a rule to spend no more tha 2 days per month together.

    • Domestos says:

      +1 There ‘marriage’ seems more like a business ‘arrangement’, to me. I have don’t doubt they both get on well, but they don’t seem in love nor a couple.

  63. Grant says:

    Her makeup looks fantastic. I don’t mind the dress either, although it could have been more fitted in the waist.

  64. Domestos says:

    I think it is the puckered and disjointed split down the middle where the seam looks like it is coming apart, that makes the dress look like a hurried home machine project.
