To think that Julianne Moore should have worn tights

Do these stars not look in the mirror?
Or have honest friends to tell them?
Why does no-one wear tights anymore?

Ugly shoes and lavender legs are kind of her thing, not my cup of tea either OP.

HoneyDragon · 15/02/2016 20:30

How the fuck does one have good looking knees?

They are leg hinges.

Op, would you like a ?

JassyRadlett · 15/02/2016 20:32

Tights would have dragged the outfit down and made it look entirely pedestrian, even without the shoe issue.

Make up your mind, OP: is it that it's a formal occasion and tights must be worn, or is it that her legs are apparently less than perfect and thus must be covered?

MorrisZapp · 15/02/2016 20:32

A man in his fifties with thin pale legs wouldn't really get away with shorts at a formal event either.

ZiggyFartdust · 15/02/2016 20:32

Her knees look like knees. How can that spoil a look?

Ghostly - there was nothing I posted on the VB thread that warrants being called a 'hater'. I have nothing against her but was asking if people thought her outfits looked daft. You're wasting time abusing a stranger on AIBU which hardly makes you a 'grown up'.

So basically you're jealous OP.

ghostyslovesheep · 15/02/2016 20:36

ah Ipad you saw that post - you can read then - so why not answer the question 'why should she wear tights' we people have asked you - repeatedly

you sound like a slightly bitter celeb obsessed teenager

Lottie2611 · 15/02/2016 20:37

Why is OP jealous ???

Botchit · 15/02/2016 20:39

She has wonderful, shapely legs. She is very pale skinned but I think that adds to her appeal. She looks edgy and super sophisticated. It's less usual for pale skinned people to stay natural and not false tan, but I love it.

expatinscotland · 15/02/2016 20:40

'This post wasn't about black peoples legs.'
Well, no, but your post implies that her legs would look better if they were another colour, her own skin colour is unsatisfactory. Wow.

MistressMerryWeather · 15/02/2016 20:40

I thought we were coming to the end of the fake tan era.

Why the feck would Julianne Moore want to look like she's been dipped in gravy?

Lottie2611 · 15/02/2016 20:40

Wonderful, shapely legs?
I was advised to come to this site for its no nonsense and honest threads and discussions.

PurpleHairAndPearls · 15/02/2016 20:41

Well I may well be biased as I am much paler than JM Grinbut how can anyone's natural skin/limbs "ruin" their appearance and be deemed not to look good.

What standards are you judging people by, and why exactly do you think you should be the arbiter of what looks good or not?

Christ, I'd be embarrassed to post like this, demonstrating exactly how arrogant and shallow I was.

Gabilan · 15/02/2016 20:41

She looks great. She has lovely, slim legs.
I'm not sure whether to blame TOWIE or Strictly for this obsession with looking as if we've been crispy baked.

Lottie2611 · 15/02/2016 20:42

They would look better if she had tanned them a bit!
Or shall we just all sit and pretend her legs look wonderful .... Confused

DecaffCoffeeAndRollupsPlease · 15/02/2016 20:42

Oh come off it, she looks better than you and you know it.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 15/02/2016 20:43

I highly doubt she does use L'Oréal. She'd be the first ambassador in a while to actually use it, if she does. There's no requirement for it ever to have been near her - the suggested results just have to be possible.

And her knees are knees. She'd still have knees, even with tights on, but then she'd look older because tights aren't really a young person thing. In fact, I'm surprised anyone wears tights. I can't remember the last time I did. So far, I've blinded no one with my knees.

MistressMerryWeather · 15/02/2016 20:43

You really think she would look better with fair skin on her face and tan legs?

NoelHeadbands · 15/02/2016 20:43

We are. Some people are a little slow to catch up though.

expatinscotland · 15/02/2016 20:43

'Or shall we just all sit and pretend her legs look wonderful .... confused'

I think they look wonderful just as they are, the colour they are, too, and I'm not pretending. Hmm

ZiggyFartdust · 15/02/2016 20:44

I can't say as if I noticed hers or anyones legs. But why would tanning them look better? They'd look a bit darker. And a different colour to the rest of her, which would be weird.
Plus they'd look a bit more susceptible to skin cancer.
Is that somehow "better"?

MrsTedMosby · 15/02/2016 20:44

I thought she looked lovely, but what do I know, I spend my life in jeans and hoodies.

I hate tights, but have to wear them (on the rare occasions I wear a dress) as I get thigh rub. I'm just jealous that they don't seem to have that problem.

The comments on DM were vile too. Apart from one about "bear legs" I'd probably wear tights if I had bear legs, bit hairy! Actually, that's me during winter. Wink

HoneyDragon · 15/02/2016 20:45

Is op the fashion police?

Caught by the fuzz
Well I was wearing my Uggs
I'd forgotten my vans and had sleeves over my hands
Just like a bad dream I wasn't wearing McQueen.

If only Ipaid could see me now
She breakdown and throw me out for sure
I knew I should have worn some fucking tights.
Some tights, some tights, some tights
