Yay or Nay: Christina Hendricks in Leather on the Red Carpet

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday October 15, 2012102 comments


I loved Christina Hendricks in Drive and I loved her in Mad Men but I don't love her in this leather, A-line skater type dress. Don't get me wrong, trying new ways to wear leather is tons of fun. A cute little dress in this cut can be extremely flattering but both of these done together just isn't working for me. 


I think Ms. Hendricks deserves better from an outfit, don't you? She's got that incredible curvy figure and I just can't understand why she insisted on covering it up with a turtle neck and long sleeves. I'm a big believer in balancing your outfit. So with a longer hemline, I would have appreciated a bit of skin on top. Why not? She's trying to play dangerous with leather, but the outfit has absolutely no sex appeal. It's dull, boring, and just plain no fun. Christina, you can do better. It's time to break up with dress. 

What do you think of Christina's leather dress? Is this one a yay or a nay? Leave a comment below by October 21st and you could win!

yay! I think its a cool contrast between her red hair and the black dress.... It looks halloween themed though! Probably not good for any other time of the year...

Horrible horrible looks like a backwards leather rain coat. No detail. And the turtle neck underneath bad choice. I think a long sleeved white sheer top would havr been a better choice.

The dress is great but WHY the heck did she put a long sleeve turtle neck under it? Thats what the problem is. A peep of lace at the neck line and shoulders would have been much nicer. Having a bag and shoes with a bit of colour or bling would have lightened it all up too.

If the bottom was more form fitting I think it would look better but it is not a bad dress at all. I'm a big fan of leather and the black in contrast to her beautiful hair color looks fantastic! I say yay!
