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.

I say yay. She wears it well. I like the style and she works it better than most. If it were more tapered I think it would take away from the "menswear style" and would be too reminiscent of the 80's version minus the big, sharp shoulder pads. | |
I gotta go with nay! I've never liked this trend plus I feel like it covers up her femininity. A red carpet event deserves a little more pizazz in my opinion. | |
yay, it looks very sophiscated. | |
Yay - strong and bold look. Not a fan of the hairstyle though. | |
Yay! Some women rock the male suit perfectly and she is doing just that here. :) | |
