Celebrity Style on Trial: Alyson Michalka at the Los Angeles Premiere of ‘Bandslam’
From the front, this dress looks fairly demure: in fact, you could almost describe it as "boring". A quick turn to the side, though, and it suddenly becomes a whole lot racier.
This is Alyson Michalka, working the now familiar "giant chunks of my dress are missing!" look at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Bandslam'. Is she committing a crime of fashion, though, by flashing much more of her leg than we're used to seeing, or do you love her look?
She looks cheap – hair, dress and shoes.
I like the idea but think the dress is a little overdone.
-the neckline looks odd
-there is too much lace detail for me – the arm, back, leg, AND neckline are oversaturating the effect
-the leg cut is too large – almost like it’s highlighting part of her butt too…
I’d chalk this one up to a miss.
ditto the last post- I like the idea, but for a disney star (or anyone, really) its a bit overdone for me.
The lace is nice, though. I would say keep it to the neckline and the legs.
I love the dress..but as the other said, the neck line is too odd
It would be great in a zombie flick but after that, it looks like someone spilt acid on the dress en route to the carpet.
The dress along with the makeup & hair is a little too “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” for me. I’d give it a cap sleeve, change the leg lace to a more slit-like slice shape…use half as much hairspray. I think the fun of cut-out dresses is to make the peek-a-boo inserts a fun surprise. Keep the make up, hair, and cut of the dress is demure so it really plays up the naughtiness of the lace. Like wearing lacey knickers under a tailored power suit.
I could forgive the neckline and sleeves, but the sides and skirt are just too much.
Love it from the front, hate it from the side. And her hair is a little too Dolly Parton for me.
I’m surprised that no one mentioned that it looks like HAIR
You know, I love the hair and I love the shoes, but that dress has crossed the line of trashy-but-fun and gone fully to the side of “Oh, honey, no.”
Her dress looks like it’s decaying.
Love it EXCEPT for the leg. I think the sleeves look very cool.
She looks like a Pam Anderson wannabe. Tacky, cheap, and whorish.
i hate it even from the front
disney star absolutely not. but for selma hayek absolutely yes.

Wow! Everyone is so hard on Aly! I like it! The WHOLE package. It’s definitely something I’d wear if I had some place special to go with my guy!
