Is this the ugliest, most unflattering dress Juliette Binoche has ever worn?

FFN_API_BarbaraTag_Gala_120413_51278337

Here are some photos from the Mon Cheri Barbara Tag gala in Munich, Germany last night. I was just glancing through the photo set, as I do for most events, trying to see if there was anyone noteworthy or if there was any particular great or terrible fashion happening. That’s how I chanced upon these photos of Juliette Binoche. Did you know that I love Juliette? I do. I adore her. I think she’s crazy-talented and I wish I got the chance to talk about her more often. It’s my English Patient rule – anyone who appeared in The English Patient gets a total pass.

Except this time! Because dear God, this is maybe the worst dress Juliette has ever worn. It’s like the worst of Versace meets the worst of Marchesa and it’s all in one terrible tulle disaster. I don’t even have a designer ID on this one. Who designed this crap? Will anyone take credit for it? I hope not. The only good thing is that her hair looks great. And her face too – she’s so beautiful.

I’m also including photos of Marcia Cross (bless her velvet, I love seeing velvet on the red carpet!) and Catherine Deneuve, who is not playing around. Catherine is such a BOSS.

    Something nice: JB’s dress looks palatable when viewed from her left.

  2. Happyhat says:

    Couture = fugly as hell. Focus on the fact it probably cost $50k.

  3. LadySlippers says:

    Isn’t Juliette kinda known for her sometimes questionable fashion choices? I thought she was…. If so, I agree Kaiser, last night was not one of her best nights. There’s just too much going on and I’m talking about the whole look she put together.

    ETA: NOT a fan of an ‘evening’ trench coat either. Although I adore Marcia’s velvet dress — she looks stunning.

  4. Erinn says:

    I don’t like ANY of them.

  5. Cristina says:

    Yes, yes, it is. It also is the ugliest dress I’ve ever seen on the red carpet.

    Marcia looks stunning. Head2toe perfection.

    Catherine also looks good. I have always had a soft spot for her.

  6. cassius. says:

    It kind of looks like a weird vagina from the front.

    • Anna-fo-Fanna says:

      That seems to be happeneing a lot lately. Please GOD, do not let this become a trend. If it does, I’m blaming it on Lady Yeezington.

  7. brooklynbreeder says:

    No, the time she tried to dominate Jack Valenti at the Oscars was way worse.

  8. Dani2 says:

    A very confusing look for her, I can’t believe someone actually got paid to style her like that.

  9. Green is Good says:

    Juliette Binoche can wear whatever she wants. She is a great actress. And Catherine Deneuve is FIERCE.

  10. QQ says:

    Rotfl… I was coming her to say Oh You’re Exage….AHANAMEBEJAGGJAKSBS HOLY HOT F–K WHAT IS THAT?!? An infection? torture Porn from the Fashion Industry? Amanda Peet’s Formal outfit? A Marchesa? Jeeesssuuusss

  11. I have a friend who is both beautiful and fashion-challenged. But she doesn’t have a team to advise her before she heads out in the morning. I don’t get it. Isn’t there anyone around who could tell Juliette that she looks like a tie-dyed puff pastry — and pregnant to boot? She’s so beautiful otherwise.

    As is Catherine Deneuve. Too bad about the harsh make-up and unflattering shiny coat/dress thingy. Why can’t designers make dresses for anything above a Size 0? I don’t get that either.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      That’s what I was thinking–I don’t know if she is or not, but she looks like she’s about to pop in that side view of the dress.

      • Stef Leppard says:

        That was my first thought too! “OMG Juliette is obviously 9 months pregnant!”… But no, no she is not. You know your dress is AWFUL when it makes you look like you’re in your third trimester!

  12. Violeta says:

    … what in Blue Waffle hell? O____O

  13. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Emphatically YES. She’s such a gorgeous woman-it’s a shame to see her looking like a used tissue.

  14. smee says:

    Someone lost their mind using an old dress, lots of tulle and a hot glue gun!

    Catherine Deneuve looks terrible in that shiny overcoat dress thing.

  15. Celia says:

    That dress looks like it has escaped from Project Runway.

  16. BooBooLaRue says:

    Bug on the windshield dress mess.

  17. frisbeejada says:

    probably on back to front – I’d do the same…

  18. MollyB says:

    I love a deep wine/berry velvet dress around the holidays.

  19. mk says:

    It is, but…. it looks really comfortable.

  20. Theresa says:

    It’s the Black Swan version of Bjork’s dress.

    That being said, I am not appalled by it. It looks like it would move amazingly, so light and gauzy.

    And Marcia Cross; what’s up with her face??

  21. phlyfiremama says:

    Her dress looks like something Helena Bonham Carter would wear. I like it~something different & fresh on the red carpet, not the same ole same ole!

  22. Aurelia says:

    Totally, Juliette’s dress looks somewhat ok from the left and hideous and frumpy from the right. Weird.

  23. Jacqueline says:

    She looks heavily pregnant in the first photo. No bueno!

  24. Maritza says:

    All three outfits are awful.

  25. Carlye says:

    I just unstopped my bathroom sink drain and I swear the stuff that came out looks exactly like Juliette’s dress.

  26. Stella says:

    Loathe the dress, but bless Juliette for not destroying her gorgeous face with surgeries or fillers… She looks like she is aging naturally and beautifully.

  27. videli says:

    Juliette looks hilarious in that pop corn dress, but I’d sooner have a fashion mistake on her than that pious horror on Marcia Cross. She looks like Dracula’s mother-in-law, with bad shoes!

  28. Ann says:

    Binoche and Deneuve? RULE THE WORLD. I don’t care what they wear.
