To SAG or Not to SAG

Honestly, if I see one more award show where the women have more sagging out of their dresses than is covered up by them, I think I am going to scream.  I understand the desire of women wanting to look good and to draw attention to their assets, but, oh my goodness, I just don’t get the bare it all attitude. When I get all dressed up, I want people looking at all of me, the total package, and thinking, “Wow, she looks great!”  Watching the SAG Awards the other night, I spent more time wondering if the actresses’ wardrobe malfunctions would happen “on-camera” or “off-camera” than I did thinking about how they looked in their dresses.  In the end, I remembered the dress or, in some cases, the lack of a dress more than I remembered the woman wearing it.  Somehow I don’t think that was the ultimate goal.  It is kind of like remembering the commercial, but not the product  — it doesn’t do much for branding.

I’ve always been a firm believer that some of the sexiest looks leave a bit to the imagination.  Suggestion is highly seductive. Take a look at how these classic women dressed and share your thoughts about baring it all on the red carpet.

  1. I completely agree with you! I do not get these styles with the deep V (to the waist) with the girls hanging out. How unflattering!
