I’d take off the belt. Fit and flare works when you’re apple/barrel shaped and anything that hangs from the bust, but cutting the line of the dress with a thin belt takes all the oomph out of it.
Swap the kitten heels for a wedge, maybe an espadrille.
I like the red lip and nails, but I think for this dress with the fresh spring colours a nude pink might hang it all together better.
I love the platinum pixie.

Would the blue kitten heels go with something like this

or a patterned dress

maybe if they were block heels they’d work better

Why would Eddie Izzard want or need styling tips?

I'm pretty sure that, along with every other area of Eddie's life, Eddie is more than capable of choosing clothes, hair, shoes and makeup.

At least they refer to themselves as a "trans woman"

I think the pixie cut is too harsh. Slightly longer and softer/wavy would be better.

I was a big fan of Eddie, he’s incredibly talented, and on that basis I will always loyally love him.

But all this stuff…no. I preferred him as an action transvestite. Sexy as hell back then. Eyeliner, heels, whatever. He was hot.

I agree. Forget styling, how about a conversation regarding men cosplaying as women. Stealing women's places on all female groups, as Eddie has done in politics.
I'd like to go into 'boy mode' when I'm having peri symptoms. So many instances when 'boy mode' would improve my life. What do I do to achieve 'boy mode' I wonder? Wear a pair of jeans and a blue T-shirt?

Oops, think I accidentally misgendered Eddie there, it's a hangover from when Eddie consisted herself a he.

AlwaysTheBabysitter · 08/09/2022 09:31

Definitely had a different Eddie in mind when I clicked on this.
(And hmm wonder how he'd look after trying the Curly Girl method...)

Eddie has actually got quite good legs. But I think as someone with a tummy on them that belted dress is a no. They would look better with a softer shape.

That neckline isn't flattering. I'd go lower but if that's not possible, then a shirt dress with a collar would suit better, ideally in a block colour. That print is fussy, the colour too pale.

Tan tights are also not ideal, maybe fake tan?
