Uma...Stylist.... Stylist...Uma


Gothamist's favorite criticism of Uma Thurman's dress comes from Michael Gallagher, who tells the Post, "Christian Lacroix performed an abortion on Uma Thurman. The dress was hideous. She looked like a nun in a Cossack factory." If only everyone had a style maven to brutally dissect what you thought was the dress for you to wear on such an important night. And at least her dress gave us something to talk about like: "A giant doily." "Exploding kimono." It's one thing if you're Bjork and expected to dress all wacky and shar...it's another if you've started the trend of couture at awards shows.

whatevs pointed out criticism of the dress yesterday (the Daily News saying, "The blond glamazon gave bed sheets a bad name when she wrapped herself up in one and tied her middle with what looked like a dishrag.") And Uma did change after the ceremony, into something more sparkly and less-criticism-prone.

Kill Bill, Vol. 2 opens on April 16.

I also like Merle Ginsburg's take:
Uma Thurman: We hardly knew ye! A milkmaid at the Oscars but no cows in sight. All that Golden Globes glory, and this is what you came up with? That’s Lacroix, sweetie? http://www.fashionweekdaily.com/content/templates/gallery.asp?articleid=828&zoneid=2

I've always thought the Academy should base their awards on what everyone is wearing that day. "We were going to give the Oscar to so-and-so, but we can't let him/her on stage wearing THAT..."

I think it was Cintra Wilson (yesterday's Salon) who called it a "Faberge baked potato".

what's up, st. pauli girl?

The irony is that when she was doing the press for Kill Bill her clothes were impeccable--not a wrong note.

And her dress at the Golden Globes was terrific.

Oh well.

i thought she looked lovely.
well, ok the dress is a little bit hideous.
but at the after-party,
she looked flawless.

just one question.here.
everyone seems to get the "sting" joke
will farrel made during the show.

just saying "sting"?
