When Bad Clothes Happen To Good People
Filed under: Fashion Smashion
Why???? Why???? WHY?????
No, this is not her Halloween outfit.
Former Cosmo editrix Helen Gurley Brown showed up to the New York Landmarks Conservancy's 14th Annual Living Landmarks Gala on Tuesday night dressed like that.
Blame senility!

soooooooooo wrongggggggggg!
UGH!!!!
She doesn't look that good for an old hag!
SO WROOONG
ouch
lacy nylons,,,,,, yummie at any age!!!!
I don't think Perez has the right to judge anyone's fashion choices, sorry. Not that this woman looks good, but still.
eeew.
eww.
why oh why?
awwwthink about it… what if people tell her about thisss. could you imagine being a celeb and seeing this? like thinking how cut eyour outfit is and then having someone bash it
dont get me wrong i love this shit, but awww.
WTF does this corpse call herslef doing?
I like it…for me….but not someone HER age.
I like it…for me….but not someone HER age.
wtf
i know its halloween, but comeone, theres a certain age when its like enough with the fishnets
5th
edit: i'm trying to read for an exam tomorrow and i fined myself coming back to this. when i refreshed and saw that bag of bones in that horrid outfit, i became motivated to get back to studying.
SHUT YOUR FUCKING PIE HOLE!!!!
YOU MAKING A COMMENT ABOUT H.G.B.
WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE
WHAT IS YOUR CULTURAL REFERECNE?
WHERE DID YOU GROW UP, WHAT UNIVERSITY DID YOU GO TO?
WHO IS YOUR FAMILY? YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A SELF PROCLAMED EXPERT
I hope a house doesn't fall on her.
oh my goodness, someone needs to freshen up the embalming fluid.
Well, if tacky 85-year-old hookers are for you…
what an ugly hallowwen costume
greetings from Argentina
this confirms that not everyone should attempt to look like a cosmo stereotype.
Wrong again,Mario,the style rule in this cata-GORY,is,,anything goes!!
She is anything she wants to be and she earned it!! YOU LOOK GREAT HELEN,,
THE GAY BRIGADE IS JUST JELLO-ISH
Just a guess, Perez, but I'd think that her being an ex-editor for a womens magazine would give her a little bit more credibility as far as fashion goes…especially considering the shit you wear…
She's been looking like the living dead since way before she left Cosmo. I have to say that it really was a better magazine when she was there though.
Helen needs to dress her age. Dress does nothing for her. It's a shame ’cause she is still very beautiful for her age !
Not a good look for her.
The comments on this site are beginning to get more interesting than the articles themselves!
Pity that poor dear, she's obviously slipping into Alzheimers. Doesn't she have people?
spunk on her old trunk!!!! j/k give the ol' bag a break…. spoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooky:(
This is a free country and I think this lady looks old enough to decide what she wants to wear. I hope next time this lady sees you, Perez Hilton, she flips you the bird and tells you to lose some weight.
Oh please - thank God she can still have fun regardless of her age. Good for her. We'll thank her when we are old. Nasty ignorant ppl on here.
She looks fine, none of you haters are going to look half as good when you are her age so shut your collective pie holes.
She should know better! How depressing.
GHB you are a classy lady and can dress better than this !!?? Your belly is sticking out ugghh….
I LOVE Helen Gurley Brown, and she looks great here. She is a legend.
HGB you can dress better than this??!! Your belly is sticky out of this dress…ugghhh
i think she got dressed in the dark.
That dress is WAY too short for a woman her age. She should know better.
This little old lady needs to take off those hideous clothes and put on her flannel nightgown with her fuzzy slippers and bed jacket and go to be early with her warm cup of cocoa. She looks so out of place!
I fucking love it. Stop being a prude!!!!
She is 85 so I say she gets to do whatever she wants! She's looking GREAT.
She is such an icon, though, that I'm a bit surprised, too. She completely PUSHED the envelope in her day, so maybe she's just doing it now, too.
Someone get Grammy a girdle!!!
IT DOESNT PHOTOGRAPH WELL
The woman is going to be 86 in February. I think she looks stunning for her age.
i like that she is dressing how she wants to dress; not how society expects her to dress. thank god! when we all get to be that age and want to dress in something other than leisure suits and polyester frocks, we'll be thankful that someone changed the norm, pushed the envelope. listen, you're going to be 'old' sooner than you think. why are all you people so hateful? what comes around, goes around.
she looks hot… maybe just could've different tights
1life i'm feelin it….u go guuuurrrlll
You know Perez if you're going to trash someone you should try to get their employment title right: Helen Gurley Brown remains the International Editor of more than 70 issues of COSMOPOLITAN and is still employed by Hearst. Also, she's well into her 80s so she can be forgiven for not looking like a perfect 10.
She's 85 years old. Give her a break.
OMG….I didn't even know she was still alive. Does this woman not have a girdle plus you can see her fat f'n stomach and the hose right thru the skirt and she's like 100. I just threw up.
You are out of the loop Perez, this works at these events — where YOU are not
invited.
She looks like Kahty Griffin in 5 years!
OK, seriously people, we have an animal without a handler…either that or her children HATE her. One or the other people. I say "Elder abuse!".
HGB? that is funny. Don't you get she gets to dress how she likes? like, she
earned it, where you are playing it before you earn it –like on credit like the
rest of your generation…. but oh yeah, we
love you perez! make fun of the folks at the big magazines all you want!
but pleeeseeeeeee go on the biggest loser soon so we can cheer for
a real accomplishment like the weight we are so excited for you to lose.
I think she looks really sexy. I want to look like that when I grow up like her. Perez… you were retarded for that remark. She is doable for an older gal.
1st. What the hell is that thing? & what the fuck is it wearing???
And 2nd of all, be a little more original FAT ASS & quit taking shit from magazines! The whole "When bad clothes happen to good people"" is from US WEEKLY & you know that & so does everyone else Jackass! Cabron estupido!
there are stars and celebrity's then are people like Helen Gurley Brown who can do no wrong. Perez be careful she far more powerful than you could ever imagine
I am so sick of your ageism Perez…I think she looks darling…good for her for not staying home in her rocking chair knitting!
Helen is a pioneer! Let her rock!
Good for the old lady!!! I hope she snagged some old fart to take her home and do the nasty!!
Let's all pray that we are still kicking at that age!!!
I'm all for unusual style and anyone who intends to sincerely represent their unique sense of style. There is no excuse for that outfit, which is wrong in so many ways. 1) As a former Cosmo editor, she should KNOW that if you can HIDE your gut, you will do it. Here, she just lays out that pouch for all to see. 2) The outfit is busy. The outfit is garish. Sequins arranged in a pattern such as this will only clash with those strange fishnet panty hose. 3) The outfit, however hideous, is far too young for her. Lop off her head, and you would think this was an overweight actress… perhaps someone who is funny instead of a size 0… around the age of the 35-40. Then you see her head. The HAIR is even wrong for this dress. God. Can someone E-Mail her and tell her she looks like a faaaar-over-the-hill cocktail waitress?
stupid old cow , wonder what kind of undies she wearing . yuk I'm grossing myself out
Over-priveleged rich biatch.
Her now deceased husband was pretty huge in the movie biz. big director. i know he worked with some of the big comedians. read the John Belushi bio last year and he directed Belushi and i think others from SNL. i'm gonna google his name. David Brown is his name. that bio was hard to read. the whole thing was about how many drugs Belushi did. it wore me out just reading it and i had to put it down many times and take a break.
actually, kacky, that's totally incorrect. She was a trendsetter in the movement of women working and being career women. She might be wealthy now, and she did marry "well," but she worked her as* off to get where is is.
OMG…what is she thinking with those stockings? She's supposed to have exceptional fashion sense. Not!
Looks like she is wearing something out of her great neice's daughter's closet…Woman….No matter how old….Please….Please…..Dress Your Age…Very cool woman…Someone should have stopped her before she left her house dressed like that…Sad….
xox, ilona rose
Of course she's wearing it. It's Halloween! You go girl!
Wow, Kylie looks a bit rough. Age is sure catching up with her. She needs a new stylist STAT!
Lighten up fatso. It's halloween and all women should dress kinda slutty!
Looks kinda hot actually…. makes me want to bend her over and stuff her like a thanks giving turkey!
any teen age r would have been more than happyt to wear this outfil
come on
get real
SENILITY HAS GOT TO BE A BITCH!!!!
SHE IS DRESSED LIKE "KELLY-O". NICE OUTFIT FOR HALLOWEEN, ALTHOUGH NOT SCARY!!!!
Sure it's her Halloween outfit; she's dressed up as someone with the youth, body and style to pull that look off!
Honey, You should stay home.
******What is wrong with her outfit?
The colour is all correct.
It's not too revealing for an older woman…
It's fun, in sync with her look.
Yallz is not gonna be lookin like this when you're her age. Read it and weep people, because you wont match this. She looks amazing.. and you SHOULD and all WILL be jealous. Ciao, you shallow pieces of shit.
older women should go for elegance - she has plenty of money - she could wear beautiful 'grand lady' clothes - the hot slut look does nothing to help her -
This outfit dose not look good. Not just on her but even if a young women wore it she would look bad. Give her a break. Ive seen alot of old guys dressed worse. This lady still looks good for her age just bad outfit.
Re: Mia –
Are you fucking kidding me, mia? The woman is 86 and doesn't need to be wearing a friggin mini dress w/fishnets! The waist up is fine but she's insane to wear this.
I get a migraine by looking at it. Bling, checkers, dots, lace, a-symmetrical, see-through AND it's too small! A colourful floralpattern is all that's between that dress and everyone in the room having an epileptic seizure
Nothing speaks louder than WRONG for Helen. Simply a bad combination. She could do better.
WTF, HGB?!?! Sooo, on first look, this ensemble is, to borrow a phrase from Gem, "TRULY outrageous". But the face and legs, for a woman of her age are simply amazing! This is nothing that a high-necked, longsleeved, TO THE KNEE black dress wouldn't cure. And some Spanx.
WTF?? is she still alive???????? She is like 100 something isnt she??? I give the old gal credit for just getting out of her pajamas and leaving the nursing home for a minute to be anywhere… GOOD GOD !!!

Mutton dressed as lamb.
The picture is from 2005!!
New gossip please
It's nice to see she got in the Halloween spirit by dressing up as a zombie. Oh wait, that's how she normally looks?
HOLY SHIT! YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!
I met her once at the Beijing Airport, we were on the same flight. She is a pushy bitch. She was bossing her husband all over the place like a little child!
She looks like a fat bloated old hag!
I thought that cabrona was all dead and stuff.
She looks like one of the band members in the Supercalifracilisticexpialidocious scene in Mary Poppins! When they get done the carousel horse race!
Now I know where an old ho goes to die. Oh, excuse me, KEPT WOMAN. Much better.
……JEEEEEEEEZ, THAT LOOKS LIKE THE HOOKER AT MY GREAT GRANDFATHER'S NURSING HOME.
You should find out more about Helen Gurley Brown, read "Sex and the Single Girl" originally published in 1962. Mrs. Brown was ahead of her time and took a lot of heat for it back in the day. She is a cool lady and doesn't deserve for a bunch of ignorant, shallow, snot-nosed kids passing judgment on her. We all know what Perez looks like, so what do you all look like? Dick heads.
OMG…LOL I'm all dizzy and confused…don't know quite where to look…
