Ordinarily, I’m a big fan of Naomi Watts, but she’s been on my S—t List for a few months. It mainly has to do with her role in that Princess Diana bio-pic, in which she wears horrible wigs and self-servingly claims that Diana would have wanted her to do the movie, and that she has Diana’s postmortem “permission”. But now I might have a new reason to throw some shade at Naomi… look at her styling at last night’s Venice Film Festival premiere of The Reluctant Fundamentalist.

Naomi wore this Marchesa dress that I can’t really decide on. For the most part, I think it’s a mistake for blondes to wear these beige-y/nude shades. That being said, Kate Hudson also went with a kind of beigey-rose-gold shade, and I absolutely loved her Versace, and I thought she looked amazing. So what’s my issue with this dress? Part of it just knee-jerk hatred of Marchesa, and the other part of it is just… this is a bad dress. It’s a bad dress on Naomi, and it’s a bad dress in general. It washes her out. Naomi does that a lot – she wears gowns that make her look like a dishrag with red lipstick.

I should note… Naomi was only on the red carpet as a plus-one. Her dude (boyfriend/baby-daddy/fiancé) Liev Schreiber is in the film (also starring Riz Ahmed, Kate Hudson and Kiefer Sutherland), so that’s why they were there. Incidentally, Liev and Naomi certainly rode out that little gossip blip about their relationship, didn’t they? Just as soon as there were whispers that Schreiber might be fooling around, there was a fast and furious denial, and a series of family photo-ops, and then everything went quiet and now here we are. I still wonder about them… but whatever. I guess they’re working through it.

PS… I’m also including some photos of former supermodel Laetitia Casta because I haven’t seen her in years, and she looks AMAZING. I think her dress is too… revealing. But she looks great.
