Madonna in Marchesa at the NYC W.E. premiere: ice-skater disaster?

When I first saw this hideous gown that Madonna wore at last night’s NYC premiere of W.E., my first thought was that she had probably picked out the ugliest thing she could find from Dior or something. Turns out, Madonna is wearing Marchesa. Of course. I should have recognized the ice-skater fugness. I guess it makes sense because Harvey Weinstein is really trying to make W.E. happen in a big way, and by association, he’s trying to make Madonna-as-Director happen in a big way. Thus, Madge wears Harvey’s wife’s hideous designs. But at this point, doesn’t it seem like Georgina Chapman is just trying to make the worst gowns possible, just to see who will go along with wearing them?

As for Madonna’s face… rough. In the past few months, I’ve kept saying that Madonna looks better, that her chicken cutlet cheek implants have finally settled, that she doesn’t look so crazy anymore. I take it all back. She still looks crazy.

    It kind of looks like King Kong shoulders on an X-ray. Not a good description for a gown.

  2. ANR says:

    i at least like the hair somehow

  3. brin says:

    WTH is on her shoulders? Looks like two charging buffalo heads.

  4. NYC_girl says:

    If you’re going to get jacked up with plastic surgery, at least make sure it’s well-done. I’m really surprised that she f***ed her face up so badly – cheek implants? She looks horrible, and she could have aged “gracefully” with minor tweaking. Who the hell ever said, “Yeah – cheek implants are a GREAT idea!”

    • emb says:

      Agree completely..it changed her face in such a weird way. I find it sad, I used to find her so unique (looking).

    • Lindy says:

      Yeah, I really do wonder… She has plenty of money, so why does her plastic surgery look so cheap and tacky and obvious? I think there are people who have a little bit done here and there and it’s hard to even tell. if you have the money, you can afford the best. Why, then, does Madonna’s look so horrible? Baffles me.

      • Emily says:

        I think it’s because her face doesn’t match itself. She has parts that look really youthful in a plastic way, and then parts that look like a normal 50yo’s, and they jar.

    • Hautie says:

      It looks to me that Madonna and Joan Rivers used the same plastic surgeon.

      They both now closely resemble Madame The Puppet.

      And that is not a compliment.

      • Luise says:

        Ha Ha

      • Green_Eyes says:

        I was trying to think what she reminded me of w/ all she did to her face & BINGO! Lol Madame The Puppet..I busted out laughing..that’s it exactly!!!! Dress & all! Lol

      • NYC_girl says:

        Oh, lordy, you’re right. I remember that puppet from Hollywood Squares!! HA! I’m disappointed that she messed up her face. I always loved her and was in h.s. when her first album came out, and now she looks weird. She could have made a real statement by owning the way she’s aged, but she just looks freaky now.

    • Sasha says:

      It doesn’t matter how good your plastic surgeon is (and I’m sure Madonna went to the best) when you have almost no body fat any cosmetic surgery you have is going to look jacked up. Women need to realize that a little bit of body fat is needed for an overall pleasing appearance (I’m not talking obesity levels here; simply a tad more than anorexic levels of body fat). If women insist on looking like skeletons as they age they’re going to end up with hollow, wrinkled faces or (like Madonna) if they get fillers, etc. to try to compensate, jacked up faces.

    😱

  6. rose80 says:

    Completely off topic, but I’m surprised there is no story about Gabriel Aubrey and what he allegedly did to his nanny. It finally comes out that SOME of Halle’s claims about his violent temper might be on the mark, and I honestly thought that would be one of the first stories here. especially since their breakup and custody battle was widely discussed. And just for the record, I’m not criticizing, I’m just wondering.

    • NM9005 says:

      Agreed. For all the time we call Berry crazy, it seems as if she (sadly) is proven right in this case. I have my doubts/opinions about the story but the gist of it is still that he has anger issues.

    • ol cranky says:

      well this is a nanny that she picked out, demanded be stuck on him and one he didn’t want around so one has to wonder if (in the absence of physical evidence or others corroborating her statements) the nanny is just doing what Berry instructed her to do. . .

  7. Rose says:

    She’s looking more and more like Sharon Stone, old and desperate.

  8. blind says:

    absolute disaster! obviously she is trying to hide her horrid arms. not working 😉

  9. Gwen says:

    I think she looks horrific all around.

  10. Jayna says:

    She has nailed it this whole W.E. Season. But this is just a big fat no. Awful dress and the only person who could pull it off would be a five foot ten model. Madonna is petite, five two. The dress overpowers her. The hair from the side is nice, but front on, no.

  11. Beatrice says:

    Madonna looks just like Faye Dunaway in these pics. That gown is awful. My first thought was that it’s one Helena Bonham Carter (or Morticia from the Adams family) would wear.

  12. Minty says:

    I agree, Kaiser. That outfit is fugly like most of Marchesa’s creations.

    As for Madonna’s tweaked face, I’m reminded of a quote attributed to Coco Chanel:

    “Nature gives you the face you have at twenty. Life shapes the face you have at thirty. But at fifty you get the face you deserve.”

  13. kit says:

    Is she wearing Marchesa because of the link with Harvey Weinstein? Can you think of anyone who would look good in this thing? I’ve maybe only seen 2 or 3 really great Marchesa dresses ever but this one is one of the worst. Yikes!!!!
    Madge, please stop messing with your face.

    • Bermuda Blues says:

      Marchesa: Because now that Harvey Weinstein is married to a hot young thing, the *casting couch* is controlled by his wife.

  14. Marjalane says:

    I don’t know if it would matter to me what Madonna did to her face or what she wears- her personality makes her ugly as sin to me regardless.

  15. LAK says:

    re: MArchesa – why bother to design good clothes when you know your hubby’s red carpet ladies are contractually obliged to wear whatever you designs.

    Was that a condition in the pre-nup??

  16. bea says:

    The cut of the body of the dress is super bad – very unflattering. I’m not commenting on the mosquito protection part at the top.

    I agree – her face looks jacked! I always thought if she went with a paler mouth it would help, but it didn’t. She just looks washed out.

    She used to know what clothes to put on – what happened?

  17. jen says:

    It’s Phyllis Diller!!

  18. Madpoe says:

    Circus de Freak!
    Back in the cage! BACK!

  19. Eve says:

    If anyone has read Hunger Games, she is what I imagined President Snow to look like…

  20. Bad Gal Addiction says:

    The fugly dress matches her fugly face which matches her fugly personality. So all around her stylist did a great job putting it all together so nicely!

  21. Happymom says:

    I think all the tulle is to distract from her hands-notice she’s finally skipped those ridiculous biker gloves. I actually feel bad for her-she is just seeming so desperate.

    • bea says:

      You’re right – what happened to the gloves that were supposed to protect us from her “horrible hands”?!

  22. Jackie says:

    not good. why does she always have her roots showing. so tired of her hair colour and dye job.

    don’t even get me started on Marchesa.

  23. Minty says:

    @Bad Gal Addiction:

    LOL! Thanks for the chuckle.

    ETA: Hmmm, I don’t know why my comment didn’t post as a reply to you. Weird.

  24. Cathy says:

    That is one nasty dress, and she is one nasty woman

  25. Jaded says:

    Horrible…she’s starting to resemble Ginger Rogers in her later years, it wasn’t pretty then and it’s not pretty now. Way too much plastic surgery, make-up, long died blonde hair, daffy clothing, gloves to hide aging hands….oh Madonna, just give up already and age gracefully.

  26. Maya says:

    Wait, Harvey Weinstein is married to Georgina Chapman? Am I the only one who doesn’t know this stuff?

    • Minty says:

      I’ve read they have an arrangement. Harvey gets to sleep with actresses on the casting couch and Georgina gets to have her ugly outfits worn (and thus promoted) by actresses whose films are produced by Harvey. Isn’t that special?

  27. whatevs says:

    disney villain mess imo

  28. k says:

    She is not tall enough to pull of that dress.

  29. Nev says:

    she wore a pantsuit that was ROCKIN’ that same night….why didnt you show that too?

    • Jayna says:

      She looked great in the pant suit and had her hair down. She’s looked great this whole WE season except this horrible look.

  30. ThatBoyLuke says:

    I think she must be having an off day face wise or maybe bad make-up because when i’ve seen her interviews lately she does look better like it’s settled in some.
    As for the dress… it’s NASTY… Marchesa is just awful, nobody should wear them (except Leah Michelle to give me laughs).

    Can’t believe Madonna wore this… all her other outfits lately have been pretty good.

    • Nev says:

      if you go look at other websites…it and she looks better.

      could be the shots chosen and bad lighting.

      mama looks great…she looked hot in the pantsuit.

  31. Roxy750 says:

    Getting old sucks

  32. ana says:

    Cruella de Vil!!!

  33. Lady Satan says:

    Well it’s a bit too busy with all the tulle around the shoulders, but it’s not all bad. It fits well, and there is no vadge hanging out. Considering who we are talking about here, I consider this one a fashion win. 😉

  34. Poppy says:

    It looks like she raided Mae Wests closet.

  35. Meanchick says:

    What in the Morticia Adams Fresh Hell is she wearing?!

  36. LeeLoo says:

    What gets me more is how delusional Harvey Weinstein is about making Madonna this up and coming director. It’s never going to happen, her movie is shite and has been called such by several prominent critics. It really makes me wonder how often Madonna is required to blow Weinstein and I guarantee you that she is one of Harvey Weinstein’s harem.

    Actually, Madonna and Harvey would be perfect for one another. Both are narcissistic scum.

  37. NinaG says:

    She looks horrible! What happen to the Madonna 2 years ago, she looked so normal and what is it with cheek implants, or at least I’m assuming they are cheek implants.

  38. skuddles says:

    Yikes – did her stylist have a schizoid breakdown when she was designing this mess?? It’s like five different dresses exploded into one huge atrocity.

  39. angee says:

    Ahahahhahahha – looks like giant clumps of BACK HAIR!!!

  40. Katie says:

    I think I wore that dress to the prom in 1995, except it was purple. And I looked way better in it.

  41. Kimlee says:

    Her face was looking so much better, why O why did she have to mess with it again.

  42. lola lola says:

    Her fake cheekbones are the WORST! Liked her much better without ’em. Still, I’d trade my soul for her body..

  43. lisa says:

    Who are the actors in W.E. I never hear about them. Just Madonna. Were they at the GGs.

    • Jayna says:

      Just the actress playing Wallis, because only the song was nominated. Madonna and the Wallis and Edward actors were on a show together recently.

  44. Sarah says:

    W.E. looks super lame, which is sad because I love Natalie Dormer.
