Hayden Panettiere has sketchy fashion sense (mild spoilers for Heroes)

fp_3238550_panettiere_hayde
I kind of like Hayden Panettiere. I’m not all that invested in her or anything, but she’s seems smarter and more interesting than the standard-issue drunken-mess starlets. But Hayden’s fashion sense seems off, doesn’t it? Not that the clothes are totally whack, just that her clothes don’t always compliment her figure. Hayden’s been totally straight about her body, and how she feels about body criticism – her words were “I’m sorry, I’m a woman, I have cellulite.” Which is a funny way to make a point, especially when she actually has a nice, petite, healthy, athletic figure.

Hayden seems to dress like Cameron Diaz, favoring micro-mini skirts, barely-there cocktail dresses, and really hardcore shoes. But Cameron has the legs and height for it – and Hayden doesn’t. So sometimes she seems rather Hobbit-esque in these clothes meant for women with epic legs. That black lace dress Hayden wore to The Late Show did her no favors. And I’m getting the Hobbit vibe off Hayden in the faux-hippie pink dress with the billowing sleeves – but I’m not sure any woman could make that dress work, it’s a hot tranny mess, in the words of Christian Siriano. But I do like Hayden’s little one-shoulder cocktail dress, it’s very cute. But it looks like something Cameron Diaz would wear the hell out of, doesn’t it?

Possible mild spoilers for “Heroes”
In other Hayden news, the National Enquirer is reporting that Hayden’s sort-of hit show Heroes is pulling the standard ratings-grabbing crap for the new season: they will make Hayden’s cheerleader character experiment with her sexuality, and have some kind of lesbian kiss:

Hayden Panettiere who plays indestructible cutie on the seminal super-show Heroes is prepping for some girl-on girl tongue tactics as producers prep to drum up some Prop 8 theatrics for the flagging funny book skein.

According to reports, Hayden’s TV bosses are planning some light leszbo liasions for cheerleader Claire Bennett, enjoying a smooch with her collegiate roomie.

“It’s just girlie fun at first,” an insider revealed.

“But it might progress into something more serious. It depends on how viewers respond.”

And Hayden, natch.

[From National Enquirer]

I hate those kinds of ratings ploys. It seems rather tired, doesn’t it? Like it’s so 1999, when shows like Friends and Will & Grace pulled the same kind of thing. You know a show is dying when they bring in the faux-lesbian kisses. At least they’re not making Hayden dress up in that cheerleader outfit constantly, so I guess that’s the silver lining.

    I like her outfit. Her figure doesn’t look that bad in the dress. She works it.

  2. manda says:

    I agree, I think the dress looks good. She’s young, she can wear things that are that short. I think cameron diaz is too old to wear some of the things she does (and I’m old myself, I don’t wear microminis!)

  3. Nebraska says:

    I totally love this dress! Ballet flats would have been a better choice of footware and they are on sale at Walmart!

  4. grisgris says:

    The dresses are fine but I wish she would tone down the hair, makeup, tan and heels. I think she looks so much nicer with a natural look.

  5. Annie says:

    I like the dress!! But not the shoes, or the suggestion of ballet flats. Nude platform pumps would’ve been just fine. Or even a subtle gladiator (not the one that’s closer to the birdcage style, maybe like three across)

    And, being someone who is vertically challenged myself, I see nothing wrong with wearing micro-minis for us short girls!

    In fact, wearing longer lengths tend to make us gals look stumpy, no matter how skinny we are.

  6. Ana says:

    It’s not just the fact that she’s short, but her body is kind of weird. Her arms don’t seem to fit it.
    I like the dress in the header picture a lot. Untill you get to the shoes which create a line that seems to cut off her feet. I agree with the nude heels suggestion which gives the illusion of longer legs. Her make up looks awesome in the first picture, but in the white dress it looks horrible and caked on.

    I think that since she is short she needs to be careful with the loose fabrics because they make her look wider. I think she looks better with more form fitting dresses.

    But that’s only my opinion.

  7. AlaskaJoey says:

    I hate shoes like that – anytime anyone wears shoes like that, or ankle high boots with dresses, you’re going to wind up looking stumpy, unless you have legs like a supermodel.

  8. fizXgirl314 says:

    her boobies always look a little funny to me…

  9. the original kate says:

    frying-pan face.

  10. Sad Lesbian says:

    I wish there were more genuine lesbian couples/characters on tv.

  11. eileen says:

    can i find this dress on ebay or any where with postage to ireland

  12. I don’t even know how I finished up right here, however I thought this put up used to be great. I don’t realize who you are but certainly you’re going to a well-known blogger in the event you aren’t already. Cheers!
