This dress would look much better if the black satin (it looks like satin, could be a taffeta or silk satin) was a better fabric. It shows all the wrinkles and looks cheap. Sad day.
This was a vintage Charles James gown, which would have looked better on her had she worn vintage underpinnings such as a merry widow style bra and a better tummy control. Women wore girdles when this dress was made as well as serious bras.
Colin Firth’s wife had a dress on that reminded me of another famous Charles James piece, I wonder if you thought the same…
I would hope correct underpinnings would do it more justice, as I stated earlier the poor thing just looks sad.
Bad photo of this gorgeous dress. I didn’t like the weird hairstyle, and I was not the biggest fan of the jewelry (although the “big bling” aspect was perfect), but this dress is BEAUTIFUL and it looked great on her!

My personal fave. Gorgeous colour, really suits her – she looks like she is having fun and is not half-starved
I want to like it, but I think it’s the hair that pushes it too far into prom territory. It looks good on her, though.
Zero bust in a all-about-the-bust dress, did it all descend into her stomach!? Fail, epic fail, together with the hair.
The dress looks horrible on her, very ill-fitted. Showing off her belly on the red carpet? Why? Don’t like the hair either.
