Beauty Tips for Ministers
Because you're in the public eye, and God knows you need to look good.
Crazy Leopard Lady!
November 30, 2007 on 12:06 am | In Accessories |Speaking of animal prints, here’s Nicole Kidman proving the point that they can make a dame look a lot like a society matron if she’s not careful.
This is just awful. The helmet head, the huge lapels, the prim little shoes, ugh! If she had paired the blazer with… no, I don’t think this garment can be redeemed, friends. Nicole, you’re so beauootiful! Knock off the Botox and go back to strawberry blonde, we’re begging you!
Thanks to GoFugYourself.com for the photo.

Know what? It’s not my favorite look, either. But she still looks good, and I fear that SHE is the arbiter of trend (if not taste), not PB — sorry, it’s just the way our culture is set up. My hair gets looser, the longer it grows. But I just might try to find a way to incorporate wider lapels (one of those fashion things that changes periodically) and animal print (maybe not in church, but also one of those fashion things that changes occasionally). Lighten up, my good friend. Change happens.
[She’s gorgeous, but she looks matronly in this. This isn’t about change, it’s a total steal from the 1980’s in every way and she’s getting blasted all over the fashion world for it. Even La Kidman makes the occasional misstep, and this is one of them. On another subject, I always wonder why some of you think I need to lighten up. I’m sitting here at 1AM hashing out a sermon on the religious search for truth and meaning; this blog IS my lightness!! Who the heck is taking what I say about Nicole Kidman as “heavy?” :::shaking head, going back to sermon:::]

Oh sweetie, don’t scold. It’s clear Nicole is working out of Brooke Astor’s playbook. (Perhaps there’s money in it.)
[I’m looking at the location and wondering if that wasn’t some highly uptight society luncheon, which would make the outfit a perfect sly mockery of the bouff’d ladies who lunch. I think Nic and her stylist were having some fun, the more I think about it. No one would wear that jacket in an unironic way.]

I’d say that the looks of the building behind her support this theory.

What’s Helmet Head?

I think she looks hot.
And while I wouldn’t use the word matronly, she is older than the teeny-bopper set, at least she’s dressing like it. [That is cause for celebration, now that you mention it! - PB]

I guess I am getting to be “of a certain age” because I lurve that jacket. When this photo appeared on GFY, it was one of the few times I disagreed with the Fug Girls.
The hair and shoes, meh. But I loves me some leopard. Which, when fake, is pronounced LEE-oh-pahrd. The trick with beast prints is always err on the side of too little rather than too much. I think that’s why this jacket works for me: it is only half fur-print and half black. And I’m guessing it’s outerware and so only makes an entrance and then an exit, but doesn’t join us for dinner.
PB, I think YOU could rock this jacket. To me it says super-confident and able to poke fun at fashion. But probably not a Sunday morning look.
[I just hate the lapels and how 1986 it looks, like something Joan Collins would have worn on “Dynasty.” — PB]

I’m sorry, but that woman needs to eat more before any clothing will look good on her. Too bony and plasticy, yeesh.

what i dislike about nicole’s jacket is the fade aspect of it, like her stylist said “too animal!” and took spray paint to it. also, the kulottes she’s wearing with it, what are those things? it looks like somebody sewed a slip at the crotch

Wait, y’all. This is clearly her publicity look for The Golden Compass. Watch the trailer, and you’ll understand. That said, I think she looks hot as well, in a slightly menacing movie villainess way.

IF Henrietta’s right… that works; I can see Mrs. Coulter there.
If not, she’s trying to channel Glenn Close’s Cruella DeVille.

Ugh, sorry, Nicole Kidman in the past decade has represented to me everything that is wrong, wrong, wrong with the female beauty industry…she has dieted and exercised herself way too thin, she has clearly had so much botox or whatever anti-wrinkle treatment done to her face that it looks like an eggshell…and would crack if she smiles too hard. Also, tons of ghostly pancake make-up and whatever else she puts on her face have really made her look clownish, IMHO.
I just don’t get it; all of this work to allegedly look younger and stop the aging process, and these Hollywood women just end up looking freakish (hello, Joan Rivers, et. al.). Whatever happened to aging gracefully?
