You either love it or you hate it.

We're feeling the hateration!

Jennifer Connolly made a bold choice for the Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC on Monday night.

The only person that could pull this look off is Michele Pfeiffer in Scarface.

Or maybe Gwen Stefani!

    25. In need of some eyebrow waxin' says – reply to this


      25

      Seriously, can she not afford for some waxing or plucking on those bushes above her eyes. She's almost sporting a unibrow. Yuck.

      Re: Imyustalker – no shit, i got better shit to do but i'm kinda high off the whiplash of my fingers

    27. KELT says – reply to this


      27

      She never looks good at the entertainment functions; not polished enough. That too strong brow with unflattering color palette on her lips & cheeks. CONNOLLY tends to go without stockings which make her look like she got dressed in a locker room. Overall, she looks a like blue collar gal who tried but couldn't carry couture . . . .

    28. Cristobal Balenciaga says – reply to this


      28

      I am rolling over in my grave. I hate you, Nicholas. Look what you have done to tarnish my name.

    29. Mommkf says – reply to this


      29

      Lousy hair. Could've made a little effort! The dress might have worked with more volume.

      ***RARE*** IS THE WOMAN WHO'S GOT THE LEGS IT WOULD TAKE TO MAKE THAT DRESS WORK.
      -
      KUDOS TO HER FOR ONE THING, THOUGH: IT TOOK SOME MAGNIFICENT VALOR TO TRY TO PULL IT OFF.

      Nothing about this says Costume Institute Gala. If you can't get it right w/ all the theartics, then don't go!

      Re: Victoria Beckham – First of all that's Jennifer Connolly and secondly, learn how to spell.

    33. Jon says – reply to this


      33

      Honey where do I start, it looks like she took the waiters tuxedo and and made it into a dress , if you can call that disaster a dress more like pilgrim chic

    34. Jenna says – reply to this


      34

      She is wicked hot, though. I'd do her.

    35. Lizzie says – reply to this

    38. Shannon (Vancouver, BC) says – reply to this


      38

      MY EYES! MY EYES! DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY AT IT!!!! Evil bad dress needs to burn….and those brows need some desperate curvage…wow.

      & what's up with the chick in the background wearing saran wrap??

      Or the twit carrying the shitzu handbag????

      WTF??????????????????

    39. Angela says – reply to this


      39

      Hate it. Plus I'm all for embracing ones own beauty and look and I have brooke shields eyebrows myself, but gf needs to get those wooly boogers waxed and shaped and get a smidge of color. She always looks angry and sick.

      P.S. Perez why arent you listing what designer they are all wearing? I like to get the info.

    40. gared says – reply to this

      That's a unibrow waiting to happen!

    41. mich says – reply to this

      gwen stefani could pull this off.

      NO! She used to have big tits! Now she looks like she's going to be showing up on The L word. Love that show. The characters are terrific.

      43

      With that unibrow she looks like one of the polygamist wives.

    44. threenine says – reply to this


      44

      This is the most unflattering thing I've ever seen her in. Considering the event, I think she should've worn the dress from Labyrinth!

    45. jenbunny says – reply to this


      45

      she ain't nut-tin but a Hoo-Chie Ma-Ma! hahahahaha, just kidding.

    46. i agree for the first time in a long time says – reply to this


      46

      she needs to give the sharp severe look a rest . not flattering.

    47. CABBOT says – reply to this


      47

      SHE WAS SO HOT WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER, BUT AS AN ADULT SHE HAS AN UNATTRACTIVE BONY LOOK. SHE MUST HAVE GOTTEN BAD PLASTIC SURGERY

    48. Devore says – reply to this


      48

      she's one of my fave movie stars and one of the best looking gals in the biz. working 2day.

      but the dress does not suit her and her makeup looks pasty.

      fail.

    49. lionel r says – reply to this


      49

      she is one hair short of a unibrow. needs a stylist.

      #57 Acidtrash and #54 Mario are the only smart ones here! I can't believe I'm wasting my time here but class is boring! This is fresh off the Balenciaga Runway and Nicholas did a fantastic job!! You all are no fashionistas to be bashing on someone, I may be doing it now but at least I have a reason, you all are Hollywood posers!! How about you all pretend you have an amazing life and buy your fake Louis Vuitton or Chanel bags and fake Dior glasses!! Yeah, if I just described you, do us all a big favor please and just stop being retarded poser!!

    78. Telly says – reply to this


      78

      I fucking LOVE this outfit! Perez, you have no taste. You drool over that Blond Brittish boy (Deyn) with the dark eyebrows and hate on the Oscar winner. Only in your world, "dude."

    79. Kira93 says – reply to this


      79

      It looks beautiful, very simple. I'm guessing it's Yves Saint Laurent..you can never go wrong with YSL.

      80

      Black stockings would have helped.

    81. Claudiapaola says – reply to this


      81

      it's not so much the dress that makes her look bad, its the hair style, her pose and her makeup. Though I admit that the dress is simple, and oddly cut in shape and style, but put that dress on a stunning pose and curvasious body, and you have a different dress.

    82. jackie says – reply to this


      82

      looks like she bought that dress at a garage sale

    83. Julia says – reply to this


      83

      Eyebrows. Those fucking eyebrows are HIDEOUS. The dress isnt bad- its her ugly ass eyebrows! Maybe shes never watched any of her own movies to see what her face looks like.

    84. JJ77 says – reply to this


      84

      she is fugly and so is the dress

    85. Laura says – reply to this

      Someone needs to knock the catepillars off her forehead. Poor choice and poor grooming.

    92. mali says – reply to this


      92

      its her "oscar the grouch" eyebrows that kills this look!! AND i am soooo sick of her hair being pulled back, her features are so sharp… long loose curls would soften her up a bit…and red lipstick would've been a nice pop…that it all :)

    93. melanie says – reply to this
