Leighton Meester doesn’t dazzle in Balmain

By  | 

Leighton, if you promise to throw this dress away, we’ll pretend like we never saw you in it.

Our fave Gossip girl was at the MTV Movie Awards the other day, in this metallic minidress from Balmain’s A/W 2011 collection. Was she on a mission to prove that there is such a thing as ‘too sparkly’?! The dress is a magpie’s dream, with every kind of shine you can imagine – mirror pieces, sequins, beads. I think I can even see some chain! On top of that, the different materials make up a mix of designs, including a huge wave shape running down the front of the dress.

Anyway, the combinations are just too much for me. The dress is too bling and the shape and design don’t flatter Leighton’s slim frame. The only saving grace is her beautiful face, as she hasn’t gone for too much make-up and over-done hair. Leighton’s Pierre Hardy strappies are a bit busy, but don’t look too bad.

Don’t get me wrong – I love sparkles, but I much prefer something like this Scala minidress by All Saints. It’s densely covered in sequins for that glam look and I love the cross-over straps at the back. For just £195, you get plenty of bling for your buck.

What do you reckon? Does Leighton leave you dazzled or hassled in this dress? Vote away!

    Heidi Klum wore something similar except if possible, it was even sparklier-rr. Could have been Grammy’s, I think? I do not think L looks “that” bad because she kept the accessories simple. Not the worst dress on a RC.
