Tomima's Blog – Lingerie & Underwear Expert

Like most, I watched the Golden Globe Awards last Sunday.  I usually don’t watch the Awards ceremony itself, but I love to tune in to the pre-event runway to see what everyone is wearing.  The whole event seemed rather tame this year.  Probably no one wanted to stand out as looking too expensive in this recession.  Jennifer Lopez, looked rediculous in her to-the-navel gown.  Unlike her infamous green Versace gown of years ago, this one looked like she had been wrapped in aluminium foil.  She could barely move for fear of something falling out, and unfortunately, she’s not back to her fighting weight since the babies.  It was not a good look.

The star that had my eyes popping out though, was Renee Zellweger.  "What is she wearing?" "What am I looking at?"  Her Carolina Herrera dress had an oh-so sheer black bodice that was so sheer you were instantly drawn to the bra she was wearing.  At first, I thought she had a strapless bra on, but upon closer review saw vertical lines that were a tell tail sign boning was present.  She was wearing a nude strapless bustier.

Being in the underwear business, I had to wonder if this was the best choice.  I later read that her ensemble was actually a blouse and skirt.  I think this bustier was not the best choice because your eye immediately went to it. Only later did you pull back to take in her entire outfit.  Instead, I would have put a nude crewneck tank over this bustier to remove the sweetheart neckline and give the total illusion of nude.  Or, an alternative would have been to wear a camisole in a different color if you didn’t want the totally nude look.

I do give Renee big points for risk.  With the flashing lights, you run the risk of your lingerie standing out under sheer outfits.  She selected something that at least afforded some modesty, and looked pretty if seen.
