20 Photos That Prove a Dress Can Either Make a Famous Woman Beautiful or Ruin Her Look

Everyone knows that an outfit can change your look significantly. And if ordinary people can easily wear the same T-shirt and jeans more than once, world-famous celebrities have to regularly walk in many different dresses on the red carpet. But even they can’t know in advance what reactions their outfits will get. Will they be praised or criticized in glossy magazines?

At Bright Side, we decided to figure out which celebrities’ outfits fashion experts found flawless and which were deemed less than perfect.

Emma Stone

Stylists are sure that the right color of an outfit will literally make your skin glow. So, the warm golden color of Emma Stone’s dress in the second photo, combined with the classic retro style, made her look like a statuette. But the unusual big-shouldered dress in a dark chocolate shade made her look pale and even a bit sickly.

Nicole Kidman

Sometimes, too bright an outfit with many details can overshadow the beauty of a famous actress. The laconic style and noble color, on the contrary, emphasized Nicole Kidman’s aristocratic features and made this one of the best Oscar looks of all time.

Julianne Moore

The fact that laconic dresses often look more advantageous can be proven by the example of Julianne Moore. Even the most pedantic stylist won’t be able to find anything wrong with the luxurious burgundy dress in the photo on the right, while the green gown on the left looks frumpy and simple.

Keira Knightley

At first glance, it seems that both Keira Knightley’s dresses are similar: light shades and nature-inspired print. However, it’s all about the little details. The dress in the photo on the left has a fancy collar and hem, as well as a belt that visually cuts the silhouette. And the dress on the right is simply a fairy gown.

Kate Hudson

You should be careful with the abundance of ruffles and lace on your clothes because such an outfit will rarely look elegant. However, the classic lines in the dress on the right made Kate Hudson the undisputed star of the red carpet.

Charlize Theron

Any dress, even the most magnificent one, must perfectly fit the figure. Otherwise, it will look, well, a bit wrong. But the black dress in the photo on the right perfectly emphasized Charlize Theron’s gorgeous body and received a lot of positive reviews from fashion critics.

Drew Barrymore

Wearing a fancy dress is always risky. At the same time, in a classic blush-colored dress, Drew Barrymore looks very fresh and truly perfect.

Winona Ryder

And here’s even more evidence that a classic cut can’t spoil a dress. In the photo on the right, Winona Ryder looks like a goth princess straight out of a ’90s film, and we love her for it.

Margot Robbie

Everyone has likely heard that wide horizontal stripes on clothes make you visually wider. The laconic white color made Margot Robbie’s look much more balanced and fresh.

Angelina Jolie

The classic black color is not always a win-win option for a social outing. In the year 2000, Angelina Jolie’s gothic dress made from a thin, tight fabric was unanimously recognized as one of the worst Oscar dresses of all time. But in 2012, the heavier fabric and rigid forms of the actress’s dress were praised by fashion critics.
