Octavia Spencer: ‘I Refuse to Wear a Muumuu’ to the Oscars!

Glad she is enjoying herself.

um and why does she think she needs to wear a muumuu to the Oscars?? strange

She is beautiful

Danielle, I guess nobody told Lauren Hutton or Anna Pacquin that a gap between their front teeth was unattractive…perhaps you better stage an emergency intervention or at the very least, a private meeting with their stylists.

This woman spends more time talking about her weight than anybody else does.

It’s easy to dress a size 0 actress, but a real designer can dress a more “traditionally built” woman whose physical assets deserve creativity & compliment. Hooray for Octavia for demanding more than the minimal efforts of stylists. Enjoy your big night & flash that smile – it’s part of what makes you beautiful! Looking forward to seeing your ensemble!

She looks like a normal lady of her age . It would be a plus if she works out, but she tries at least to look good without obsessing about it.

Go Octavia! What good is wealth if you can’t sit down and enjoy a proper meal?
Somebody like Angelina Jolie is just bones, you can count the veins on her arm, that’s not healthy at all.

she needs to say the designers name correctly it’s Miu Miu. @ Danielle when your as talented as Ms Spencer is a gap in your teath is almost unnoticable and the Co Host of Live with Kellys name is Michael Strahan not Stratman. look at Vivian Leigh and Joanne Woodward for starters both of them had/have a gap in their front teath and it never affected their careers 6 oscar nominations and 3 wins between them from 1940-1991 correct Vivian won both her nominations Gone With The Wind 1940 & Street Car Named Desire 1952 and Joanne won on her first nomination three Faces Of Eve 1958 and received 3 others Rachel Rachel 1969 Summer Wishes Winter Dreams 1974 and Mr & Mrs Bridge 1990

Um, @Courtney, she literally meant a muumuu. Not Miu Miu.

Maybe she talks about weight so much because she’s in an industry where she’s inundated with vanity and stress over her size! And to whoever would not like someone because they have gap, are you serious?! Why should they have to change a genetic trait to please some other imperfect person? Michael Strahan gave a point blank reason for why he CHOOSES to keep his gap and that’s his perrogative. Grow up.

good for her! classy lady. I’m sure she’ll look lovely

She doesn’t look that fat??? Oprah finds clothes, don’t know why she cant?

Haha!!! I love the comments more than the story. Danielle seems outright ignorant and Courtney made an ass out of herself with a pompous attitude (who doesn’t know how to spell teeth and know what a muumuu is?!?!)

Octavia represents what most women look like. The average woman in the U.S is a size 14, not a size O or 2 like most Hollywood starts. For most of us who are not naturally thin, a size 0 is not attainable. I’m a size 22-24 and I’m fine with it. I dress nice and look good when I go out. And, I don’t have any health issues pertaining to my weight. Good for Octavia!

Trust and believe – she won’t be wearing a muumuu this year or any other year. I saw her on (I believe) The View last week. Looking good, girl. Looking real good!!
