Jennifer Connelly for Balenciaga

Now, I’m no queen of fashion or anything (hahahahaha), but these ads with Jennifer Connelly just seem… off. Her awkward pose? The colors? Too pale, airbrushed? I don’t know. My great-grandmother used to say, “It hurts to be beautiful,” and while I don’t necessarily disagree, I wonder what her thoughts would be on the issue of being simply uncomfortable for the sake of fashion. Hm.

Here’s Jen dressed head to toe in Balenciaga at the L.A. premiere of Reservation Road in October:

It just kind of looks like a Laura Ashley dress. Also, her legs look dismembered in that ad.

girl, you crazy. these ads are awesome. They present the dresses in all their floral-suit-of-armor glory.
