When Will Actresses Learn?
WhenJennifer Lawrencewonthe most coveted awardfor any actress in Hollywood on Sunday, she was almost literally upstaged by the famous fall she took as she ascended the steps to accept it. The culprit? Thebig, beautiful Dior Haute Couture gown, in part, with a skirt so voluminous it practically covered Bradley Cooper's mother.
But you know what certainly didn't help? Thethese 5 1/2-inch Brian Atwood heelsshe was wearing underneath. Why, God (or JLaw), why??
The 5'9" star of "Silver Linings Playbook" hardly needs any vertical assistance. And there's no denying that those shoes are works of art--but worn under that gown they're like the proverbial tree falling in the forest. Who can even appreciate them?
Our industry likes to say beauty is pain, but what was beautiful aboutLena Dunham's 6-inch-heel hobbleat theGolden Globes? Or Jennifer Lawrence falling in front of40 million Americans?
In our opinion, every actress should take a page from Sally Field's, um, playbook andsport sneakers(or at least some flats) under those big ole gowns. Who's with us?
