It's kind of silly people are complaining about the flowers. She was at a luau party. It's not really a "necklace".

I'm sick of celebrities in Marchesa I think their clothes are not flattering on women. For some reason it reminds me of Holly Hobby

J.Lo looks great! That color is so lovely on her skin tone.

Catherine looks great, except one thing: bubble-style dresses don't really work if you have any amount of boobs--everything sticks out too far and it doesn't come back in for the waist, so it winds up looking matronly. The color looks amazing on her, her legs, face, hair, etc. all look incredible--it's (ironically enough) the boobs ruining the overall look. [although shoe choice might have been better]

Thandie: stunning, as usual; the most consistently amazing dresser out there--not too boring, rarely a misstep, never overly made up and never trashy

-- a study in contrasts ... --

Denise: the opposite of Thandie, or more specifically--ridiculous hair, too much make-up, stupid shoes for the dress (they attempt to eliminate the bohemian chic), dumb bag and a total demonstration of her utter lack of fashion sense, appreciation, understanding, you name it ...

Jennifer: boring, she's done this umpteen times and the model trumps her in freshness--again fresh rather than contrived hair and make-up, as well as breezy lack of belt (that perhaps J-Lo may not have been able to pull off)
--To me, she looks like she's not only stolen her grandmother's dress, but hair and make-up too.

So that's my apparently-not-so-humble opinion ... for what it's worth

Jennifer looks insanely beautiful to me in that Marchesa gown, I loved the original version but Jennifer really brings it to life and makes it look so feminine and gorgeous!!

[elly9]

wooow jen looks amazing! so much better than runway, the color is perfect with her tan and wearing it with that belt is a really smart choice

[Inaya]

Thandie and Jlo look wonderful

[serenade]

Jennifer looks great in the Marchesa dress, much better than the model!

[Squizree]

JLo does look better than the model, but thatts not saying a lot. JLo has had better outfits.

I like the model better than Jennifer. I like the look without the belt better

[seanutbutter]

Without the added belt, the Marchesa gown in question is hardly a step up from a garbage bag.

With that being said, the piece is none too flattering anyway and it highlights Jennifer's tan lines. And as you probably realize, I'm picky about people and their tans.
