Jessica Biel in black Gucci at the LA ‘Hitchcock’ premiere: lovely or ruffled disaster?

The only place to go was up! After Jessica Biel’s disastrous, Golden-Girls-esque turn at the NY premiere of Hitchcock, practically anything would be better. So Jessica decided to go for this black Gucci gown at last night’s LA premiere. I don’t hate it. I don’t love it, either, but it’s definitely an improvement. I guess the dress is supposed to look like a stingray? Those ruffles are supposed to position themselves to make a woman look “wider” in the bust and shoulders? Sure. As for Jessica’s styling… I don’t hate it either. I think her hair is too fussy, but I’m glad that it’s up and we’re not being assaulted by her truly awful and unflattering bangs. She’s a pretty girl when she doesn’t stylistically c—kblock herself.

And of course Dame Helen Mirren looked awesome! Her Dolce & Gabbana isn’t my favorite either, but Helen has a stylist who knows what they’re doing, and for my money, she has one of the best bodies in Hollywood. Helen’s “date” was her nephew, Felix Mirren. Isn’t Felix the bomb? Toni Collette looks awesome! I don’t know who she’s wearing – it looks kind of Narciso Rodriguez-esque, but who knows? And Jamie Lee Curtis was also at the LA premiere, to support her late mother Janet Leigh (played by Scarlett Johansson in the film – ScarJo was not at the premiere).

    I love how Helen Mirren looks – hair, make up, dress…everything

  2. Eleonor says:

    Helen Mirren and Jamie Lee Curtis win.

  3. Katie says:

    Helen Mirren and Jamie Lee look phenomenal. They are aging really graceful and beautiful.

  4. Effy says:

    Looks good from the back.
    hair is good, make-up is fine.

  5. lisa2 says:

    I really like that dress Jessica is wearing. But I don’t particularly like it on her. She has a great body, but she is so athletically build that the dress doesn’t look good to me when she turns to the side and you see the muscle tone. She reminds me of a bodybuilder.

    Not crazy about the hair either, but nice that she tried something different.

    Toni dress is very nice but her face looks so different. I guess it is the weight loss but it looks so sharp, and she looks so over tanned.

    I love Helen.. not the dress, but she looks great.. and how wonderful that she can bring her nephew on the red carpet and enjoy the night.. because she won’t be accused of pimping the kid for PR or to sell the movie. How funny that is. He is a cute kid, and looks happy.

    • Steph says:

      I have to disagree. She looks like a girl with nice muscle tone, not a bodybuilder. Her body is sick.

  6. Jess says:

    As she ages, her resemblance to a horse only intensifies. She is not as cute as she used to be. Her face needed that little bit of baby fat to look softer.

  7. amandapanda says:

    i thought jessica was danni minogue at first glance!

  8. Katie says:

    And Jessica looks like a bat from hell.

  9. Natasha says:

    Helen Mirren can do no wrong! And that coral color suits Toni’s blond hair and she looks really good. But Jessica, *sigh, well it’s better than the jumpsuit she wore last time. I don’t hate the dress but it only looks good from one angle (the back). From the front the ruffles look like lady parts, ew! She seriously needs a new stylist.

  10. eva says:

    Who is with Jamie Lee? They could pass for sisters.

  11. Chellez says:

    This looks like the black version of the seafoam side-boob dress Rosie Huntington-W wore recently. Maybe its ruffles are wider or pinned wider to prevent so much side boobage? Either way, she needs a stylist. Please get one!

  12. I Choose Me says:

    Toni Collette looks awesome as does my girl Helen Mirren. Jessica looks great from the neck up. She has such a great body, why is she covering it up so much all of a sudden? Does Justin Timberdouche not want wifey to look attractive to anyone else?

  13. gogoGorilla says:

    Er, ok, perhaps I am in the minority, but I think this looks like the grandma’s premiere.

    Jamie Lee would be a win except for those HORRIBLE shoes. Helen Mirren’s dress is a little too drape-looking for my taste. Mrs. Timberlake looks awful as always. No surprise there. She really needs to get herself a better stylist (not her husband; sometimes I think he intentionally sends her out looking badly so he’ll always look better in comparison).

  14. emmie_a says:

    Helen looks great and her nephew is adorable. Jessica looks blah – not good not bad.

    The woman standing next to Jamie Lee Curtis is having serious leather overload. Black leather dress, black leather jacket, black leather boots, black leather clutch. Too.much.black.leather. She could have possibly gotten away with all of it if she wasn’t wearing the black nylons? maybe.

  15. SolitaryAngel says:

    I love love LOVE Jamie Lee. She’s such a lovely person.

  16. Aiobhan says:

    Toni and Jamie look the best out of the bunch, even though I hate Jamie’s boots.

  17. V4Real says:

    I think Jess is really trying to make it to the top of Mr. Blackwell’s worst dress list.

    A pretty girl who dresses so ugly.

  18. Winnie says:

    I think Biel is trying to start pregnancy rumors with that dress.

  19. lower-case deb says:

    HOLY –! WE HAVE FOREHEAD!

  20. TheOriginalKitten says:

    I guess this is somewhat of an improvement in the sense that it’s a simpler style than she has been wearing as of late. She just really has to stay away from anything with ruffles or any overtly feminine dress. Her body is amazing but it really is so muscular that the frilly dresses looks out of place on her. It may be boring, but she should take the Aniston route and stick to a simpler style-much more flattering on someone with her physique.

    • Steph says:

      Yes!! I totally agree. She needs something simple, with nice clean lines and a solid color. Let her body be the focus. Otherwise she just looks stuffed into these ultra feminine gowns. Her energy is too masculine for jt, so she feels the need to gussy up, perhaps?

  21. Anguishedcorn says:

    She looks like she has a sting ray on her chest.

    • Incredulous says:

      But is it too soon for the Steve Irwin look?

      Jamie Lee Curtis and her sister, damn, them’s some good genes!

  22. Diana says:

    That dress if fug and Hellen Mirren Rocks.

  23. Leah No-No says:

    I swear when I first saw that header photo I immediately thought “why does J.Biel have giant black vaginas coming out of her armpits?”

  24. blonde on the dock says:

    Jamie Lee Curtis looks awful in that dress and her hair looks so severe. Fail for me!

  25. OriginalMe says:

    Sorry Jessica Biel, you can’t pull anything off. Worst style in Hollywood, almost as bad as Katie Holmes. It’s like she has no idea what is attractive or what looks good on her. She will always be a bumpkin to me and trying to pull of haute couture is ridiculous on her part.At least she’s smiling and not doing the pouty squint on the red carpet. She and Ginnifer Goodwin should walk down a red carpet together sometimes so they can squint and frown seriously for all of the cameras.

  26. Camille (TheOriginal) says:

    Toni Collete is the best dressed one of the bunch, yet again.

    And it’s another fashion miss for Biel.

  27. Alana Fajina says:

    Jessica has such an amazing body, it’s like she PURPOSELY tries to make herself look terrible!! 🙁
    I love Toni Colette!!!

  28. Teri says:

    It looks like her armpits are growing lady parts

  29. fan says:

    I really used to adore Hellen Mirren for having the guts to get older wihtout messing up her face.
    And now she starts this idiotic thing too and looks not like her usual lovely self. I don’t get it, hopefully she stops it.

    Jamie Lee is so owning that dress. She and Helen are both great bad-ass broads which is what I love. So comfortable in their skins and what they do. Lovely, just lovely. I wish I could have a glass of tea or something with these two. There are not a handful of people in HW I would say that about.

  32. Grace says:

    I am thinking at this point that some stylist somewhere really, really dislikes Jessica.She looks awful.
    Toni and Helen are gorgeous. Jamie is badass.

  33. mimi says:

    Wow Toni Collette is the one I notice here. She looks sleek and her dress is cute.

    Toni is wearing Alex Perry, Aussie designer.
