What to Wear Under See-Through Dresses

Well, the answer is "SOMETHING!"  Have you noticed all these sheer dresses showing up on red carpets lately?  How about these cut-out dresses like this one on JLo?

 Is this really all that sexy?  My mind instantly jumps to concern over a seam or piece of fabric accidentally moving and creating a TMI moment.

Here’s another example of what not to wear.  At the Cannes Film Festival Mallika Sherawat arrived at the screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" wearing a sheer black gown and obvious black panties underneath.

The solution is really two-fold.  First, try and resist the look altogether and find something classy to wear.  But, if shock treatment is what you want, at least give everyone’s eyes a tease by wearing shapewear or lingerie in the same color as your skin tone.

Lindsay Lohan’s “Bra-Free Lifestyle”

May 17, 2011

 

lindsay lohanShe’s young and has a beautiful bust line.  But, she’s been seen out all too often bouncing along without any bra support.  Now rumors about her lack of support are suggesting that her career could be impacted, should her breasts begin to sag.

So, here’s the reality about  breasts and sagging.  Breasts do not have muscles that you can exercise to make them firm and supported.  Rather, breasts are held in place by ligaments called "Cooper’s ligaments."  Gravity, bouncing and walking around without breast support will, over time, cause these ligaments to stretch.  It’s these stretched-out ligaments that cause your breasts to sag.  And, Hollywood does not like their starlets to have anything but perfect-looking breasts in nude scenes – which is the kind of movie opportunities Lindsay is being offered these days.

A perfect case in point is Kate Winslet’s Academy Award winning performance in "The Reader" where she had several nude scenes.  I heard more than one man comment that she had "lost her rack."  Shortly afterwards, Kate announced that she will no longer do nude scenes… I wonder why?

So Lindsay Lohan, get some support!

Breasts at the Oscars

March 01, 2011

Okay, I can’t help it.  I watch these shows and my eyes always go to the starlet’s chest to see the bust/bra situation– Did she wear a bra?  Did she need a bra?  or, What did they do up there?   As I observed, there were definitely some winners and losers.
 
One theme I saw was the strapless dress that came up high enough so that seeing cleavage was not an issue.  Personally, I think this is a terrific look.  It is so elegant and classy.  It allows you to stand back and take in the entire look, rather than instantly honing in on their great (and many times not so great) cleavage.  Examples of this were Nicole Kidman, Hillary Swank  and Reese Witherspoon.

Strapless dresses can be a big miss when they make the breasts look unnatural or strange.  This usually happens because instead of a strapless bra, the starlet has opted for duct tape or some other bizarre underpinning in an effort to get her cleavage where she wants it.  A perfect example of this last night would be Giuliana Rancic who tried pushing up what she has very little of.  And, it looks like she even tried putting make-up on her cleavage to accentuate it.

 
Mila Kunis looked beautiful last night in a soft and feminine lavender gown, and being young, she was able to go braless (which the gown required).  And, kudos to her on behalf of all the less-than-endowed women for not trying to fake her breast size.  That said, I still would have liked to have seen her neckline hiked up just a little more.

Finally, here are my two worst examples of cleavage last night.  And, it’s really a shame because both had on beautiful dresses.  If proper cups had been sewn into their gowns, their looks could have been a home run. Matthew McConaughey’s girlfriend, Camila Alves could have used some lift. And Jennifer Hudson…. girl, what was going on under that dress?
