Taylor, Emily, and Cara definitely did their homework. Their dresses had the right color for the silhouette, had elegant designs, and were tailored/fitted cleanly to their proportions.
I feel like the aim of a lot of red carpet outfits (for both the star and the designer) is for the dress to attract buzz and be considered cool and creative, rather than for the star to look beautiful in something that suits them. The white column dress proves this point; among all the outfits in this video that one stands out not because it’s avant garde or edgy but because it’s simple and flattering.
I cannot stand super high slit with the entire leg hanging out and then they always stick it out like we don't see it. It looks like a Barbie is going to get a leg ripped off. Slits can be so subtly sexy and even classy, but too high and bad posing ruins them.
Beebs, your ability to explain what does and doesn’t make fashion choices work is so helpful! Additionally, your vocabulary and communication skills never fail to impress me. Thank you and Happy New Year! ❤
Watching this breakdown made me realise why I've turned to royal fashion for inspo rather than celebrity style in recent years. The ongoing uglification of the red carpet makes me sad - it's all so try-hard, clunky, and faux avant garde. That said, the red gown on Cara Delevingne at 18:05 is simply stunning! Such a classic look - dramatic, but still feminine. I instinctively know that it's a beautiful dress, but I love hearing you explain *why* it works so well.
Selena's red vine dress was a miss all the way around. I agree the skirt needed volume to work. The top looked like the cups were too small so she was not only spilling out of the top but could have used some support also.
Emily Blunt in that white column dress was my winner. Simple and elegant. She wore the dress -- it didn't wear her. The rest of them, except for Taylor Swift's crop top and skirt (which I think would be better as a dress) were definitely misses. Sam Smith's was the worst.
Cara's dress is absolutely divine....love the colour, so rich and vampy. With the volume of the cut and the shape with that fabric it is totally decadent.
The nice Joan Rivers of fashion, love the takes on these fashion choices. Thought of koi with some of these fashion choices. On point on all comments. Love you, Beebs!
Oh that poor cat and the flower. I needed that laugh, really Beebs , you don’t know how much I needed that laugh. The look on the cat’s face was priceless.
I totally agree with you about the flowers on Nicole Kidman's dress, it would have looked absolutely stunning without them. Thanks for another great video explaining and educating us on why some fashion looks just don't work. I'm pretty good at judging what works and doesn't personally but couldn't always explain why so love to watch you to give the reasons.
I get what you mean by the flowers. Kidman’s dress would have been much better without them. Although her hair…. I think she’s going for a rock ‘n’ roll look but it looked too sloppy for that dress. I don’t know what do you think? Also, what’s with all these extremely high slits? Honestly, I like a dress that leaves a little bit to mystery. Don’t give us all the goods. I’m not a prude, but I also believe in being classy and some of those slits just look a little too raunchy for my taste. What do you think?
Great commentary Beebs!! You explain things so well. I think the only gowns that worked “as is” were Taylor Swift’s and Cara Delivigne’s. I do wish they would give up those hip high slits though. Most were fixable, like you explained, I just wanted to rip those ugly tan flowers off Hallie’s dress and sew in smaller ones ( if you have to have them) , in a same colour right on that high collar and the thigh and the n it might work. Mind you I thought the super high slit didn’t work for Hallie, it made her legs look kinda chunky, and I really think that’s actually not how her legs are, she has a great figure. Really enjoyed this, Thank you so much 😊❤Edited to add: Sam Smith 🤮 just ridiculously bad, and I didn’t think Salma’s outfit was red carpet at all, usually she nails it!
Emily's was my favourite. Salma looked like a retired Dominatrix. For a woman who's almost 60, Halle Berry looked trashy in that ridiculous slit. I agree with you about the flowers and bows Beebs. None of them did it right. They should ask Princess Catherine for fashion advice. She makes the cheapest outfits look like a million bucks where else Hollywood just turned millions to rubbish.
Everything migraine does is cruel and despicable considering who she is. Catherine can make cheaper clothing look elegant and classy while carparkle makes expensive clothing look cheap and trashy.
I can't stand it when someone with a high slit down the dress sticks their leg out. Angelina Jolie was the first for this dramatic move and now everyone does it and it's just not an attractive pose. IMO
You'd think they'd practice to get the best result. Maybe there ISN'T anything better, when you're trying to stand on strappy two-story stilettos. I commented elsewhere on this site that if you ask a butcher to show you a leg of lamb (poor lamb), the presentation will be better than these red carpet shank-bearers can ever manage. Well, it's not as though they give a half a hoot what we peons think about their superior beauty and fashion 🤣, so let's just continue to have our laughs ... and know that we are right.
I had to check the username because I made a very similar comment to yours under one of the videos. :D I hate that too, it's just stupid - and Angelina was ridiculed for it. And then it suddenly became popular.
My worst pick is Rooney Mara’s curtain dress. She even looked depressed in it. Also the guy with the black ballon thing. Honorable mention to Salma Hayek’s shoes
I know I’m getting old as I find the majority of dresses either ugly or showing far too much flesh, I prefer simple elegance. The white Valentino with separate sleeves was superb, simple and chic, if only I had the figure for such a style
I remember when Nicole Kidman was a young actress in Australia and still had her gorgeous red curly hair, and I wish she would go back to something more natural, if that’s even possible now. The stick-straight blonde non-hairstyle does nothing for her now she’s no longer a dewy starlet. Especially since she’s so tall and thin.
A sleek bun at her neck or braid twisted into a bun would have really helped her look and wouldn’t have competed with the shoulder flower. Loose straight hair is a mess and not polished enough for this setting.
Sam Smith's outfit is an homage I believe to a costume worn by David Bowie in the early 70s, one of his most iconic looks, but it doesn't have the style of Kansai Yamamoto - Grace Jones was also the best breastplate wearers in the 1980s, but smooth and sleek and well fitted.
Salma looks like she just rushed over from her part time gig as a dominatrix. 😮 Hallie looks the worst and Nicole's flowers - the hip flower is ok but not the shoulder. And her hair! Did she run out of time?
The red dress at the end was spectacularly beautiful. It is my favorite color. The shoes were perfect, not too small not too big and the color was a mix of the red of the dress and the brightness of the necklace. The dress was beautiful viewed from every side. Fantastic.
Again, agree that the midnight blue cropped top and long skirt Taylor Swift wore lends itself best to someone how is tall and narrow. As banging as their bodies are, the same dress would not have been as successful on Salma Hayek, Sofia Vergara, or Scarlett Johansson.
I agree with you on the Selena dangling red-vine dress. The color is spectacular on her, but the "vines" would've looked more finished and refined had they had a soft, semi sheer skirt underneath. In my eyes, I don't even think they would've needed to be sewn to the skirt, they could've remained loose as they were shown on the red carpet, but moving OVER a solid panel instead of air and bare legs. If the intention was to show her legs, then I would've cut the vines off and made a mini dress.
I like Taylor Swift’s outfit. I love the color and it looks really good on her. She’s been giving some good looks lately. Sam Smith’s “outfit” was the worst. It’s just so uncomfortable looking. Sam looked better wearing suits.
If Halle had lost the flowers and lowered the slit/hemline down to mid-thigh, it would have been a stunner. If the waves in her hair were finger waves more sculpted to swoop across part of her forehead, it would have added old Hollywood glam. It seems worse somehow when they got so close to something wonderful than when somebody just totally missed the mark. My fave is Emily's dress. I always prefer understated elegance to glitz and glam, but Taylor and Cara both look stunning too.
My favorite dress was the white one on Emily Blunt. I also love the styling, with the hair pulled back and the only touch of color coming from the chandelier earrings.
Loved this video Beebs! It showed me that some designers don't think their designs through and end up sticking on some flowers or embellishments to fix flaws in design. And what a shame that expensive gowns sometimes do nothing for the wearer. But a good dress shows itself immediately.
@@mrsterious5845 I think you've hit the nail on the head there. It's like they've forgotten that an actual human being is supposed to not only wear the garment, but look good while doing it.
While I agree that Selma Hayek's leather dress could have worked, I thought that the center part on her hair was harsh and aged her significantly. To me, center parts are hard to pull off and don't work on a lot of people, especially as they get older.
Nicole Kidman dress would have looked better with only 1 flower either one I think. Hally Berrys neck flowers definitely shouldn’t be there the hip ones may have been ok.
Emily blunt , I love her style and ofcourse with her body shape ,the dress looks perfect , simple yet stylish , sexy but not over the top . Classic beautiful dress ❤
Agreed. I also don't like when so much boob shows though not that many in tonight's video seemed too exposed but I find no class or sexiness when an excess amount of boob is shown. It just looks cheap. I like to see elegance and class and a bit of sexy, too, if appropriate.
You saved the best for last imo. Love, love Cara's dress! But with my short neck and short but well-proportioned torso, I would never be able to carry it off. Beautiful dress!
How, how did I miss this!! You were so spot on with everything. I’m not even going to consider the blow up doll. Worst were the pink opera coat disaster & the pink flower stick ons. Best is always Taylor Swift because I’ve never seen her in anything bad. So, I’m discounting her and giving best to Salma Hayek’s leather ensemble minus the necklace and the stunning red dress at the end. Flower pouf & all. Thanks Beebs! From Oregon with ♥️ Jessica
I’m glad you mentioned Sam smith, Sam has a misdirection when it comes to fashion. Sam doesn’t know how to use the body to carry off what is being worn, it’s like Sam thinks that’s arty, that’s edgy I’ll wear it. Sam’s not David Bowie, Little Richard or Bjork, they knew how to move to look comfortable in everything. Sam looks as if it was plunked it on, and that is all it takes to wear a one of a kind outfit. Nothing Sam wears looks natural, it looks like a person who is trying but not succeeding. Sam’s devil costume at the Grammys just looked cheap, not edgy, but Amazon. Sam needs to listen to other peoples advice, or get new stylists. It is memorable for all the wrong reasons.
Nicole Kidman---I would've kept the flower at the shoulder, and lost the one at the hip. Or perhaps, I would've moved the hip one to the shoulder to make it even MORE of an asymmetrical contrast with the long sleeve on the opposite arm. OR, I would've removed all of them from the shoulder and hip and wrapped them around the wrist of the bare arm, like a huge corsage. They way it showed, they looked, as you said, "tacked-on", almost as if they were excess material they wanted to use up.
Thank you. Great video! The balloon-guy at 3:54 was hideous beyond belief. I really wish they’d move on from that let’s-have-one-leg-sticking-out trend. To me it looks like they ran out of fabric after creating some huge bulky, poufy thing over the hips and/or the back. My favourite was probably the white dress worn by Emily Blunt at 8:53. At 10:03 I think I liked the dress except I couldn’t really see it due to the pink monstrosity of the opera coat. The rich, deep red at 18:06 is to die for - so fabulous. If only they had managed to buy enough of the fabric so the lady’s leg didn’t have to look like it was struggling to escape to some other place that gown would have been my number 1.
Does anyone remember the designer in Project Runway or Next in Fashion who used a lot of macrame? I think that is what Anne Hathaway’s dress was. Halle should fire her stylist.
Hoi sweet Beebs, spot on as always, dear!! Taytay is always on point, she is so stunning, every time!! Love her looks and outfits, she is WAUW!!!! Love from an old rebel-Pinkie
The 'half-exposed breasts and side slit to mid-hip look' does nothing to suggest these women reject being treated as sexual objects. It's TOO MUCH!!! Salma appears to have had facial surgery. Once actors/actresses no longer resemble the person I remember from a good role I stop thinking of them as that person. I wonder what effect it has on their children if they have them?
Hi, Every time I see a columnar plisseéd chiffon dress, it reminds me of Fortuny's Delphos dresses. I've loved them from the first time I saw one, most likely at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, internet library. Just showing up with something having any resemblance to those makes me forgive a multitude of sins. Like the macramé dress in the beginning. Truly not the best idea from the designer, but the skirt had a little bit of Delphos so it's okay-ish, maybe. And now the dramatic curtain dress, by Alexander McQueen. Yes i agree it's not flattering at all, but the skirt looks a little bit like a Delphos... The black with the flowers, that you wanted a tiny bit of feedback on... The flower on the shoulder looked a little bit of a flutter sleeve, so yes, okay. The one on the hip, not so much, but I'm the most amatuer dress reviewer you could ever find. Oh I almost forgot. That midnight blue dress with all the beading, on my screen you were wearing exactly the same color. And you look so good in it. I do love your fashion commentary, so thank you for putting this together. Yours, Ann
Wow Beebs, what an interesting array of red carpet looks! Who thought that awful dress looked good on Rooney Mara? No wonder she looks miserable. I like Nicole Kidman's dress although i would've preferred the flower only on the shoukder. Agree regarding Halle Berry's dress, the flowers were stuck on because they were lying around and someone thought it was a good idea? Didnt like Salma's dress at all, she needed a whip and handcuffs- tacky. Loved Cara's dress, that is divine . Great video ❤❤
Nicole Kidman dress: imbalanced; sleeveless on opposite side to slit would have balanced the look, then both flowers *might* have worked; otherwise, lose the hip flower, shoulder flower draws your eye "up", as would an up do All things considered, *incredibly* tired of the leg stuck out of slit in 98% of gowns.
I loved Emily Blunt's dress. So simple and elegant.
Emily Blunt has really good style. She never looks overly sexed up or trashy (like so many others do)
Taylor, Emily, and Cara definitely did their homework. Their dresses had the right color for the silhouette, had elegant designs, and were tailored/fitted cleanly to their proportions.
I feel like the aim of a lot of red carpet outfits (for both the star and the designer) is for the dress to attract buzz and be considered cool and creative, rather than for the star to look beautiful in something that suits them. The white column dress proves this point; among all the outfits in this video that one stands out not because it’s avant garde or edgy but because it’s simple and flattering.
Totally agree. They are all vying for attention.
Excellent critiques with reasons why. You would be a great judge on Project Runway, lol.
I cannot stand super high slit with the entire leg hanging out and then they always stick it out like we don't see it. It looks like a Barbie is going to get a leg ripped off. Slits can be so subtly sexy and even classy, but too high and bad posing ruins them.
I agree. The high slit and then they all have to stick the leg out like a bunch of copy cats. It looks dumb.

The Salma Hayek get-up was a major fail. She looks best in classic glamor.
Def the last red dress on Cara. That color is 💋 mwah! Just gorgeous.
I love Emily ‘s look. She's gorgeous and hilarious!
I think TS would have looked better without the midriff baring.
Me too. It's a miss for me because of that. It would have been incredible if if had been a dress.
I noticed in the last photo she was carrying a matching jacket for covering up.
Selena's red vine dress was a miss all the way around. I agree the skirt needed volume to work. The top looked like the cups were too small so she was not only spilling out of the top but could have used some support also.
Agree with Beebs, she needs the neutral underlining to flow into a skirt to support those vines.
She needs to go for dresses with structure on the top like Vivienne Westwood
Low neckline and tall slit-one or the other.
Emily Blunt in that white column dress was my winner. Simple and elegant. She wore the dress -- it didn't wear her. The rest of them, except for Taylor Swift's crop top and skirt (which I think would be better as a dress) were definitely misses. Sam Smith's was the worst.
Thanks. Nicole Kidman's hair --it was all I could see. The hair needed help.
Halle Berry looks like she has just got out the pool and is wearing the table cloth and table decorations.
Cara's dress is absolutely divine....love the colour, so rich and vampy. With the volume of the cut and the shape with that fabric it is totally decadent.
Apart from the bow and the cheap crotch-high slit.

Oh that poor cat and the flower. I needed that laugh, really Beebs , you don’t know how much I needed that laugh. The look on the cat’s face was priceless.

Really? I love when men are a bit daring with their wardrobes. I'm extremely bored with blue and black suits.
Taylor and Emily were really on point, just perfect!
Cara’s dress in the dramatic cut and bittersweet red was my favourite as well.
Praiseworthy in Purple, Beebs! 💜
Am I alone in preferring hair up for evening? Very long hair hanging down unadorned is just so ... ordinary. So daytime. So un-done. Just me?😊
No, not just you. I can't understand why the PsoW is still doing that.

The pink dress was gorgeous, but the huge opera coat looked ridiculous and was unnecessary. I liked this video, Beebs!
Well Done Beebs. THX
Happy New Year dear Beebs. Terrible boots on Salma.
Omg great selection I’m loving the red dress on cara Delevingne and those shoes 🤩😍
Again, agree that the midnight blue cropped top and long skirt Taylor Swift wore lends itself best to someone how is tall and narrow. As banging as their bodies are, the same dress would not have been as successful on Salma Hayek, Sofia Vergara, or Scarlett Johansson.

Sam Smith is Sam Smith. Although I adore his voice and songs...his fashion style is atrocitious
He looks like he’s wearing pool floaties (are they called water wings in the US?) like he’s afraid he’s going to be thrown in the deep end.
Sam’s nothing more than a gimmick more popular for his controversial persona, rather than discernible talent.
A joke through and through
I was thinking Oompa Loompa or a walking ink blot.
Another great video Beebs 😊 Do you think Ms Hathaway’s dream catcher number might have looked okay in another colour?
Yes, totally!
Burgundy would have been a better color.
Hi Beebs ❣️ thank you ❣️
Thank you Dawn! 💛💛💛
I really enjoy your presentations. Thank you. ❤
If Halle had lost the flowers and lowered the slit/hemline down to mid-thigh, it would have been a stunner. If the waves in her hair were finger waves more sculpted to swoop across part of her forehead, it would have added old Hollywood glam. It seems worse somehow when they got so close to something wonderful than when somebody just totally missed the mark. My fave is Emily's dress.

Designers seem more interested in executing the concept than designing clothes that are conceptual AND work for the human body.

Yes,the flowers on those two dresses and the pink monster too, like take coco’s advice, take one item off before you leave.
Emily blunt , I love her style and ofcourse with her body shape ,the dress looks perfect , simple yet stylish , sexy but not over the top . Classic beautiful dress ❤
I liked only two and that was the last stunning red dress and Nicole Kidman's dress. The rest made me wonder if they have mirrors!
Not a single dress was glamorous. It's really sad how these women have so much money and such connections and then look so tacky.
Yesss!
Couldn't agree more. It's like the more outrageous the look, they think it's sexy, I guess. The looks today just looks so trashy. No class at all.

Wonder if the was tied down so he wouldn't fly away.

OR, I would've removed all of them from the shoulder and hip and wrapped them around the wrist of the bare arm, like a huge corsage. They way it showed, they looked, as you said, "tacked-on", almost as if they were excess material they wanted to use up.
My favorite dress was the last one, worn by Cara, dark red ball gown with the shoulder flower embellishment! Divine.
The opera coat should have been left home....
Thank you. Great video! The balloon-guy at 3:54 was hideous beyond belief. I really wish they’d move on from that let’s-have-one-leg-sticking-out trend. To me it looks like they ran out of fabric after creating some huge bulky, poufy thing over the hips and/or the back. My favourite was probably the white dress worn by Emily Blunt at 8:53. At 10:03 I think I liked the dress except I couldn’t really see it due to the pink monstrosity of the opera coat. The rich, deep red at 18:06 is to die for - so fabulous. If only they had managed to buy enough of the fabric so the lady’s leg didn’t have to look like it was struggling to escape to some other place that gown would have been my number 1.
What the hell has happened to Shania twain??? Didn't recognise her,..
She's ruined her beautiful face 😳
Taylor Swift and Emily blunt were gorgeous.
Does anyone remember the designer in Project Runway or Next in Fashion who used a lot of macrame? I think that is what Anne Hathaway’s dress was. Halle should fire her stylist.
cara's dress was the most striking...and that balloon thing was ridiculous .
6:25 how bad is it that I know you prefer yellow and “Real Housewives Recap Jen” prefers blue.
Too much RUclips for me 😅😂
Happy new year Beebs❤
The last one was my favorit!
Cara looked stunning!
Love your pretty purple too😁
Wow B you look fantastic in purple.
I loved the last red dress sooo much! I also liked Selena’s red dress. I don’t mind the vines.
Hoi sweet Beebs,
spot on as always, dear!!
Taytay is always on point, she is so stunning, every time!! Love her looks and outfits, she is WAUW!!!!
Love from an old rebel-Pinkie
Very interesting!
The 'half-exposed breasts and side slit to mid-hip look' does nothing to suggest these women reject being treated as sexual objects. It's TOO MUCH!!! Salma appears to have had facial surgery. Once actors/actresses no longer resemble the person I remember from a good role I stop thinking of them as that person. I wonder what effect it has on their children if they have them?
I know when I like something and I love that you tell me why.
Hi, Every time I see a columnar plisseéd chiffon dress, it reminds me of Fortuny's Delphos dresses. I've loved them from the first time I saw one, most likely at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, internet library. Just showing up with something having any resemblance to those makes me forgive a multitude of sins. Like the macramé dress in the beginning. Truly not the best idea from the designer, but the skirt had a little bit of Delphos so it's okay-ish, maybe. And now the dramatic curtain dress, by Alexander McQueen. Yes i agree it's not flattering at all, but the skirt looks a little bit like a Delphos...
The black with the flowers, that you wanted a tiny bit of feedback on... The flower on the shoulder looked a little bit of a flutter sleeve, so yes, okay. The one on the hip, not so much, but I'm the most amatuer dress reviewer you could ever find. Oh I almost forgot. That midnight blue dress with all the beading, on my screen you were wearing exactly the same color. And you look so good in it.
I do love your fashion commentary, so thank you for putting this together. Yours, Ann
Wow Beebs, what an interesting array of red carpet looks! Who thought that awful dress looked good on Rooney Mara? No wonder she looks miserable. I like Nicole Kidman's dress although i would've preferred the flower only on the shoukder. Agree regarding Halle Berry's dress, the flowers were stuck on because they were lying around and someone thought it was a good idea? Didnt like Salma's dress at all, she needed a whip and handcuffs- tacky. Loved Cara's dress, that is divine . Great video ❤❤
Good evening BEEBS, I’m with you on the very unnecessary flowers. Taylor and Emily stole the show.
Nicole Kidman dress: imbalanced; sleeveless on opposite side to slit would have balanced the look, then both flowers *might* have worked; otherwise, lose the hip flower, shoulder flower draws your eye "up", as would an up do
All things considered, *incredibly* tired of the leg stuck out of slit in 98% of gowns.
I thought Halle berries dress was horrible! Omg
I agree, it also makes her look 'heavy' and her hips look odd.
