Thoughts on Quinta Brunson’s dress at the Emmys?

[fridgefullofplums]

Hmmm. Quinta Brunson chose this Christian Cowan dress for the Emmy's. Thoughts?

What are your thoughts, OP?

Was there supposed to be a photo @fridgefullofplums?

It’s a bit zombie bride Halloween costume ish….. Like the Golden Goose trainers, I don’t get the point of making something look old and wrecked.
Is there some sort of message behind it?

Sorry, was waiting for Mumsnet to approve the image. Let me try again.

It’s just a fairly basic standard dress, odd thread.

Not really my preference, with the fraying edges etc.

Also I think the flesh coloured mesh bit at the top did weird things to her breasts. They looked a bit squished.

I quite like it, particularly the frayed hem. The distressed look hasn't been in fashion for a while, broadly speaking, so I think this feels quite fresh from a fashion perspective.

Oh give over - it's far from a fairly basic standard dress. Most red carpet dresses aren't fraying at the edges!

Clearly I mean for the red carpet, not a trip down Tesco,

I like fraying. I don’t like satin but realise it’s what most people wear for evenings. It fits her well.

But the mesh bodice was a huge mistake and her dresser needs firing.

Still waiting to hear your opinion, @fridgefullofplums …

No I think it looks cheap and as if she got into a fight on the way! Not very flattering either.

That dress makes her chest look uncanny, so I'd say it doesn't work .

She's a stunner, the dress is fun and I like the frayed zombie-vibe. But she and the dress were not a great combo.

Oh God I thought she had a rash!

I don’t like it. Looks like something that was stored in the attic and the rats got hold of it.

Liked it in theory, I practice her breasts looked uncomfortably squashed

I am generally in favour of everyone wearing whatever they want...but I can't my head around this dress. With all the options available to you, why would you want to look like you had been mugged on the way to the ceremony? I genuinely don't get it. The whole style of the dress - ripped/frayed/snagged/pulled through a hedge backwards - why??! I agree she is a very lovely lady, and this is certainly a talking point so maybe that's it? But I just think she's pretty enough already not to need THIS.🤔

Ripped and frayed are perfectly legitimate and established style choices! 😂

It looks like the washing machine tried to eat it 😅🙈
