Let’s Break Down Kristen Stewart’s Sheer Dress, Shall We?

So kudos to Kristen Stewart for having an amazing body and a stylist who helps her take risks. She’s gone a little out of the box on her recent On the Road press tour, and it’s been fun to watch.

But Stewart’s most recent look — a bra top and boy shorts combo covered with a sheer, floral-print overlay, worn to a premiere in New York Thursday night — has us a little stumped. The Erdem spring 2013 creation — seen on the runway this fall — was for spring, when it’s not 40 degrees in New York. And that’s not the only issue we have with the dress:

1. The midriff. Stewart has one of the hottest bodies in Hollywood, yet her toned tummy is looking a little scrunched in this bra top, thanks to the low bra band, high boy short waistline and satin material, all of which are very unforgiving.

2. The side. The back of the dress is solid, made in the same ice blue as the bra top and shorts. That means an unsightly side seam that makes the dress even busier, and cuts her profile in a strange way.

3. The length. On the runway, this dress was knee-length, making it more appropriate and much more feminine. Though we’d give anything to have Stewart’s killer legs, cutting the dress right at the middle of her thighs isn’t particularly flattering — or ladylike.

On the plus side? Her hair and makeup are flawless, and we’re lusting after those hot heels. But sorry, Stewart: We’re going to have to call this one a major miss. Tell us: How do you feel about this confusing dress?

I say She looks a whole lot better without the funky dress.

Nicole on

What’s so hot about her body? She looks typical to me. If she looked like COCO maybe you could say that.

A on

Um…Stewart is normal skinny. She’s very pretty, but her body is not one of the hottest in Hollywood…by a long shot. Don’t get me wrong, she’s talented and beautiful, but her body is just normal skinny, small bust, pretty face.

Manana on

It looks like she has a shower curtain on over the outfit. It’s weird but not as bad as some I’ve seen

Stop hating on

She’s sexy, daring and original…what’s not to love?

Debbie on

The emperor (empress!) has no clothes! She looks ridiculous! It’s winter, for heaven’s sake! This is not fashion, it’s parody!

Emily on

…….

fanofboardwalkempire on

the dress is very unflattering and unattractive.
Sorry but this is a total disaster!

RM on

She’s pale and skinny….what’s so “amazing” about her body? J.Lo, Jennifer Aniston, even Gwen Paltrow….they have toned, shapely, amazing bodies.

Jane on

The girl has the same body as a 15 year old boy. She is always wearing outfits like this that do nothing for her, but because the media hungry press want to make a dime off of everything she does they always compliment her horrible looks.

Whitney on

I can’t believe this is a story, on today of all days. 20 babies were killed in cold blood this morning, and you have nothing better to do than critique her dress? Shame on you, People.

a on

she is beautiful but the dress is horrible hope it was free cause if you paid for any part of that you should be arrested

sbb on

It looks like an old fashioned bra and girdle under a see through dress.

Stacie on

The dress was Horrible but those shoes were Everything . I loved her shoes .

Jenn on

“Stewart has one of the hottest bodies in Hollywood”
Seriously?!?!? I think not, you will NEVER hear anyone say “Damn, I wish I had her body” …..EVER! She’s a stick, no curves and not to mention one of the WORST actresses in Hollywood.

Way to go Hollywood… trying to encourage people to look anorexic! No thanks!

jenny on

I’d kill for her legs! And face!

Journey on

I can’t wait for the comments on the ‘Fashion Police’ with this number. She’s attractive, but this outfit is absolutely horrible. This would even look silly at the beach.

LAYLA on

I think this dress is horrible. Stewart always use the same style. She´s very boring! :(

SMSinTX on

I would LOVE to see this publication – or ANY publication – give a point-by-point critique of any man’s outfit with specific commentary on his individual body parts/sizes and whether or not the outfit adequately emphasizes each part. I’ll be waiting.

Jenny! on

Don’t like this look… btw i don’t think she has “killer legs” just throwin that out there. I see legs i envy but they are not the pair. but on a brighter note i do like the shoes :D

Pam on

She’s a hot mess.

robby on

That is not a dress – it’s something covering a sports bra and some shorts.

Sunnie on

She dresses to attract attention, then gripes when she gets it. Go figure!!

Denise on

I can see Rihanna wearing something like but not for Kristen> Her body goes straight down with no hips or curves. I just dont think its very flattering. Not the season for it either.

Kelly on

hot body??? please….she is just a skinny straight up and down little girl. She has no curves at all. She looks like a train wreck 90% of the time. This is no exception. The original dress would have been more appropriate.

jenni on

does this girl ever smile??? She always looks so fed up and uncomfortable. Her posture sucks as well for such a young person.

Annie on

I don’t think her body is all that great. She’s skinny, but average looking, on the whole. And the outfit – horrible.

crisk on

Kristen is an amazing actress and a beautiful girl, what she wears does not matter! OTR is a wonderful movie, I’ll be in line at the box office!!

kim on

an amazing body? according to WHO?? its bland at best. if you cut off her head, her body looks like that of a transvestite.

Melanie D on

She can do no wrong <3

Just Me on

WTF? When you have that kind of money, are young and beautiful, why? Fire the stylist!

JennE on

Dress is HORRIBLE! Please, Kristen… dress for you bony body type and smile once in a while! Your not-so-smart boyfriend already took you back after your indiscretions, you make ridiculous amounts of money for your below average acting…. The least you could do is be happy!

Miki on

I am so sick of seeing pictures of Hollywood Stars, half naked prancing their A$$ down a red carpet. That is not a dress, it is something that should be saved for your boyfriend in the bedroom.

Sarah on

True this dress isn’t appropriate for cold weather. That is probably why she didn’t stand outside for pics, too cold. And we all know that those aren’t her actual underwear, right? Her hair and makeup are beautiful.

Ella on

Beautiful figure, horrible dress.

Bailey on

I really like Kristen but I have to agree with everything said in this article about her outfit. She has done the see-through look to death it has now become boring even when the dresses are nice. Wrong cut, wrong length, wrong season…just wrong.

Susan on

The first thing I thought when I saw the picture is that she must be cold ! The thing is she isn’t showing anything she shouldn’t be. Rihanna and many more show more with their tops and dresses. It’s not the prettiest outfit I’ve ever seen but it’s not the worst.

crisk on

I LOVE HER

laurie on

i like it

Garb on

who cares?

Donna on

Sad, just sad.

mrs sanders on

I LOVE IT

Pixie not for me on

I would feel so conscientious and uncomfortable wearing that I could not enjoy myself all night. I would be more comfortable in my pj’s – perhaps I have aged myself greatly. Yes I am older than Kristen – a lot older.

Girl on

SHe always looks like she’s about to vomit. And she has no boobs. To die for huh? I just can’t get over her emotional range. Blah.

Smells like Kardashian on

Well, we already knew about her morals….

Tammie on

how come all her clothes are see through now? it’s like every time she’s on the red carpet now, her clothes are all sheer

Natalie on

It actually does nothing for her figure but make her look wider in all the wrong places!

TheNiteNurse on

Weird but I somehow like it. I’m usually not up for the weird dresses.

Lee Ann on

Her “stylist”? I didn’t think she had one. She looks horrible.

lilah on

Kristen, please go away! Not interesting at all and definitely not a style setter.

Lisa on

Kristen…no. Just…no.

Jeff Miles on

Hubba Hubba!!

Kim on

Certainly not something I would want to wear, but it’s okay on her I guess. I’ve certainly seen worse!

Napple on

We are really talkin about this when 19 kids and 8 adults were shot and horribly killed today.. impressive! Good job People!

milena on

i like it!!

matthew kegan on

Anyone else notice that ever since her infidelity shes worn see through clothing???

Erin on

Love or hate Kristen Stewart…I wish I was able to “pull off” that dress.

deutsche001 on

She is skinny with no legs or @ss; no t@ts either. Never thought she is too cute.

Kristin on

Does she know how to smile?

Evian on

She is skinny flab… there is no tone definition to her at all! She definitely needs to kick it up a notch at the gym! Not sure who her trainer is, but she needs to be toned!

Lynn on

Don’t really like this outfit, but she usually dresses beautifully and has the figure to pull most everything off. Seems like more curves are limiting. The see-through thing is getting a little tiresome, though.

Sam on

The dress was cut off to spotlight her crotch and sell sexuality because of the movie. Where do your eyes go when you look at the photo? Her crotch.

sw on

she totally rocks it.

jj on

Runway version of this dress is much classier and prettier… but, I still like this on her.

Glen on

She is not the sexy girl type, no matter what she dresses.

Joey on

She always looks so awkward and uncomfortable, I find it hard to call her fashion forward and willing to take a risk. She looks like she’s going to bolt out the door the first chance she gets. And those shoes may be hot but she just doesn’t know how to stand in heels to make the most of her legs and posture. She is certainly thin but she doesn’t have the rocking body other women in Hollywood do. She needs some muscle tone and definition (and maybe a nice smile) before you can say she’s got one of the best bodies. And the coy, I-don’t-care attitude is just getting annoying. If she doesn’t want to be there, go away.

Redcarpetcritique on

She keeps wearing all this sheer junk looking clothes lately. She should go back into hiding like she did after the affair. Now she is wearing all this stuff that makes her look like a ho that supposedly she didn’t want to be sized up as after what she did. And she isn’t any thing more than an average looking woman anyway.

Jenna on

DaFuq!!??

Marie Mullin on

Come on first she cheats. Now she wants the world to see her. Stuff. Yuk

Tara on

that is one of the ugliest outfits i’ve seen anyone wear.

teyha on

I think she’s naturally pretty but when I think of a rockin hot body, her’s is not what comes to my mind…Try Carmen Elektra, J Lo, Sophia Vegara. Kristen looks like a lot of 22 year old girls who don’t do much except be their naturally skinny selves. Just because she’s skinny & wears revealing clothes doesn’t equal hot either. She has good people who make her hair & make-up look good. To me she looks “hot” when she has more say in how she dresses & sticks to her signature dark, more goth like styles & makeup.

Mia on

its not all that bad, although if the dress had been kept at knee length- just as on the runway.. it would have been a better silhouette.

Skes on

I have to agree with other commentators…what is so great about her body? I would disagree that she has a toned tummy and killer legs. That girl looks like she’s never worked out a day in her life and couldn’t run a mile no matter how much you paid her. Why are we holding her physique up on a pedestal? She’s far from sexy and far from healthy!!

rotsne on

It looks like a bedroom output. It is not something I would allow family members to wear in public.

R on

Normal skinny as opposed to what? Anorexic skinny? What empty comments.

loum on

Whoever her stylistic is…sucks. This chick can’t pull off any outfit she wears. The clothing always looks cheap, tacky and thrown together in the dark….hmmm, maybe no mirrors??

crisk on

I have immense admiration for Kristen, her strength and personality are amazing, it’s so authentic, a great actress!!

Mary on

The face (and body ) of new Hollywood – Spectacular

Sarah on

Eeeekkk…that is all I have to say.

eliannparker on

She’s wearing a ponytail and regular makeup. Hardly “flawless” unless “going to the grocery store” has become the new glamour. Her outfit is a poorly executed mess that had potential at one time. Her body is nice but touting it as one of the “hottest bodies in Hollywood” is a bit much. And lusting after the heels…please. If no one knew who she was most people would wonder why People was featuring a hooker. Let’s evolve, shall we? Next…

Pam on

It doesn’t matter how much money you have….you just can’t buy class.

Overit on

I think she’s great. She’s a normal woman, not super skinny, not surgery enhanced, just normal. She’s awkward, so what? She knows she is and doesn’t make excuses for it. I think she looks fabulous!

Olivia Davenport on

She does not have a hot body; what are you looking at. No shape to her legs at all; kinda soft if you ask me. I just don’t get it. The outfit is ridiculous; no sense of style. Seriously can someone stop the madness

Annoyed on

Why is this a topic of discussion on a day filled with such tragedy? And why must we constantly cut women down for how they look? Disgusted!

val on

ew what is that thing

crisk on

Kristen is a true artist in literal sense of the word, she does not want to please you, she wants to do their job as best as possible!! If you do not understand this, is an idiot!!

Kaitlyn on

SHE IS A REAL PERSON WITH FEELINGS.THE SEE THEOUGH DRESS WOULDN’T BE MY CHOICE BUT SHE IS BEAUTIFUL! I DONT THINK ANY ONE WOULD WANT TO READ THIS ABOUT THEMSELVES.

cara on

Let’s not talk about Kristen Stewart ever again, shall we?

Monique on

What dress? That’s a short and tank top type outfit covered in a sheer cover. Something for Summer maybe? Don’t care for it this time of year

Kristi on

I am starting to think this girl does not own a mirror.

shannon on

Looks like she stole that horrible mess from Cher’s tour bus.

Redcarpetcritique on

Her stomach looks like its full, there is no waste, like she has been drinking alot and it is still in her stomach.

Mystic Meadows on

She’s a person. People sometimes pick a bad outfit. Maybe she likes it and doesn’t care what anyone thinks.
She has bad acting? She has made good money for it. No I don’t know her but for once let’s stop attacking others and putting them down because we can.

austin on

her dress looks like a project runway major mishap. and she makes it look even worse. hag.

ntravel on

I have learn several just right stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how much effort you put to make this sort of wonderful informative website.
