Olivia Palermo

[Caroliiine]

I don't think she's a good model because (as the recent shoot demonstrates), she doesn't take other styles very well, especially in regards to make-up. She is limited to looking good in her classic style (some have referred to it as 'ladies who lunch') and the same make-up she always wears. They switched up her hair/make-up for the Tatler cover and she didn't look good. They did the same thing here and again, she doesn't look very good.

Basically it's a lack of versatility. She's only really able to look good in one style... can you imagine Olivia trying to pull off a hipster outfit? On the other hand, models need to be chameleons and able to pull off anything, hair/make-up/clothes-wise.

I think her face is too tiny and delicate for all of that hair right around it...

WHY these ugly fake bangs !! OMG, first time she looks so bad....And this eye make up is not for her that's for sure !!,

 

[IceePriincess]

She is not modeling material, definitely, her expression in all photos is the same and she looks much more older. Those photos don't even make justice to Olivia's beauty. The makeup and hair, its just ew. Really prefer her in her classy look.

 

[Ciao!Manhattan]

I really don't like the bangs on her, I hope it was just for the shoot.

 

[godsavethhequeen]

I don't like the bang on her face...

 

[RedAzalie]

i don't know what the problem is - i think not the bangs - which is not good of course but still - the main problem here is make-up - it's very bad and make her look sick looking, the eyes esp.

 

[farou7a]

horrendous pic in my opinion.
i cant believe im actually saying that about liv.. but oh my.. the bangs make it worse!

 

[gossiping]

i like her hair best when it is in a tight bun. looks so pretty.

Olivia is definitely not print material. she looks better in real time and candids.

 

[chanelslungbags]

Um is that even Oliver? lol i hear she has a bad past anyway.

Although I think she's a gorgeous girl, I don't think she's a good model either and I agree with everything you said.
I think she's just trying to get he face out there...too bad her face looks bad in these photo shoots.

But- I guess there are few models/celebs who look better walking down the street than they do at a photo shoot, so that is certainly in Olivia's favor....!

Her editorials should just re-create her walking down the street - she looks best being herself, she is certainly no model material. I would also like them to give her a rack of clothes and see how she styles herself.
Reality TV is also her thing, writing beauty and style tutorials maybe ...

I think Olivia should concentrate he efforts in styling since her talents seem to lie with dressing herself. Her beauty has granted her opportunities at modeling and hosting but she has revealed that she has no aptitude for either and I expect her opportunities will dry up. Those fields seem simple but they do require some training and innate abilities that Olivia doesn't have. I got a kick out of Joe Zee assuming Olivia would be this great interviewer and TV hostess because she was good at schmoozing at parties.

 

[Boomer]

^ Yes, I have to admit that the British girl, who's name escapes me, made her look pretty silly when she stepped in to do the interviews on The City...

Agreed.

And from what I've seen on The City and here, Olivia isn't quite magazine material. Her editorials are quite insulting to her and I feel she can do a much better job at dressing herself and posing for paps on the street. Her facial features are too pointy and mousy for fashion shoots, perhaps unless they are of her doing her every day things. She should stick to the basics.
