The Admin Diaries: "This is a hobo suit, darling. You can't be seen in this. I won't allow it. Fifteen years ago, maybe, but now? Feh!"

~~ Edna Mode from The Incredibles

Back to basics faithful reader. Though we segue from fashion from time to time, this blog was founded on it.
Therefore...it's time to play...

Celebrity vs. Runway - Who wore it better

Anne Hathaway
Mrs. Hemsworth - I think the colour washes her out and I actually prefer it without the modesty panel in the skirt. I give it to the Runway. Buffy??

Buffy -

Sarah Jessica Parker

Mrs. H - Line backer pose notwithstanding...I give it to Sarah. She's filling it out better and I prefer the skirt more opaque and without the slit. I will give props for the model's styling - I prefer her shoes and belt and the fact that her hair is back so we get the full affect of the purple lame top.

Side bar: You know your shoes are too high when....

Geez!!! She's going to burst a vessel in her foot from the strain!!!

Jessica Biel

Mrs. H - I am a fan of drama and this dress has it in spades...on the Runway. The sleeves are fuller and the belt is ornate. I love it. I think Jessica toned it down too much. It's couture for a reason!!!! If you can't take the glam...stick to ready to wear. Buffy? Do you agree?

Maggie Gyllenhall

Mrs. H - Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Oh boy...I needed this. Runway! Hands down. Maggie's crazy style never ceases to amuse. A hobo suit indeed!! Meaning absolutely no offence to her body type -- It doesn't flatter her at all. She's too busty and it's throwing off the print. On the Runway it looks great! If I was the body type of that model I'd wear it in a heartbeat. And Maggies styling??!! The tights...the shoes! It totally weighs down this light and mildly whimsical look.

Abigail Breslin

Mrs. H - This is a toughy! I'm going to say neither! Where I applaud the teen for trying a bright colour we have the bust problem again and the flat chested model is pulling the jacket off better. Further, the outfit seems too mature for her and I'm not a fan of her shoes. The model's styling is weird! I hate the bag and shoes though I get where they're coming from. It's just too bright for my taste. Buffy? Are you up for some lemon sherbet?

Ashley Greene

Mrs. H - Perhaps its the seated pose but again!...The bust!!! 1 Point to the flat chested model. I think the colour on the beachy blonde works better --score 2. And hair and make up? Two more points for the Runway -- the loose style and light shades are a better completment than Ashley's severe hair and dark eyes and lips. Runway is the clear winner!

Gemma Arterton

Mrs. Hemsworth -- Oh Gemma. Not again. It's like she's never gotten over playing the demi-god Io in Clash of the Titans or the princess in Prince of Persia. She appears to be a fan of the white, Grecian look But this jumpsuit and her styling make her body look disproportionally bigger than her head and I am not a fan of jumpsuits on anyone so -- Neither for me.

Buffy --
