Yay or Nay: Jennifer Morrison Red Carpet Menswear
As a guilty pleasure fan of the show Once Upon A Time, I'm actually a kind of a closeted Jennifer Morrison fan. I like her cute, unique style and her tough as nails attitude, which is why when I saw her rock a men's suit on the red carpet, I was pretty impressed with her moxie.
I'm usually not a fan of women doing menswear, it always feels a bit like a novelty and too kitschy to me. However, I'm inclined to give a 'Well, played' nod to Ms. Morrison here for this androgynous look. I think it works mostly because she's contrasted her masculine look with very feminine makeup and hair. That crimson pout is gorgeous with her porcelain skin and her milkmaid-esque braid goes surprisingly well with her suit.
There is one thing that seriously bugs me about this look: the cut. It feels way too bulky and casual to me. I would have loved to have seen Jennifer is something a little sleeker and fitted to show off a bit of curve. However, when it comes to fashion, I think everyone should just go for it and have fun with it! Never play it safe! So, for this menswear look, I am going to give Jennifer a pass.

NAY, I'm all about pretty feminine outfits. I do agree that her makeup and hair looks nice but I just do not like this look. | |
YAY! She looks awesome. Pulling off the menswear look and still keeping keeping it gorgeous and girly c/o her hair and makeup. Lovely. | |
Yay! But the hair is a bit off. | |
I'm on the fence here. Her tidy hair and bold lips if anything add to a starker look in my view, so I don't feel like that softens anything even though it's feminine to be sure. And yet I'm not sure if looser hair or a softer lip shade would have worked... | |

YAY | |
I really like it! She looks amazing and very well put together! | |
Yay. I agree that she should have chosen something more fitted, but it's not completely horrible. I will say that her pants look too long and she must be really warm in that suit because her face is very shiny. | |
YAY! She looks great! Its a very literal take on the look, but it really works for her. | |
yay, she looks good. |
