Snob Essentials

Snob or Slob? – May 18, 2007

cameron_diaz.jpgThis is a rhetorical question of course. What is she wearing here? This is like half of a 5 year olds overalls she has on. I am really trying my best to be nice these days but I have to step over the line for just a second here and say that I think she is trying to recapture the youth her face has given up on. Let’s just be totally frank and objective and say that she has not aged quite as gracefully as she would have liked (although she is nowhere near Melanie Griffith’s head to toe tragedy of the skin). It is so important to look and act your age and this is not easy for me to say because it took me a long time to give up mini-skirts and t-shirts that are 3 sizes too small for me but I would never consider wearing demin mini overalls. The only thing that would be worse here is if she did a Jessica Simpson and opted to not wear a shirt with it.

  1. That outfit would be perfect if she were going for the part of Elly May Clampett from the “The Beverly Hillbillies”.

  2. It’s Cameron Diaz. This is a particularly bad outfit from Cameron. However, I think that sometimes she looks really cute. And, she has the body to pull off outfits that others can’t.

  3. Total slob. However, I think she looks loads better now that she’s back to blond. I just can’t stand when women don’t dress somewhat age appropriate. One over the age of 10 should not wear overalls. Ever.

  4. the outfit is atrocious but she looks a bit better than usual. the blond makes her look more glowy and her legs look great. but that’s about it..

  5. I must say if I looked even half this good in this outfit I would wear it. You are only young once and the time goes so fast do it while you can. I also must say I agree she should keep the blonde locks.

    a fellow bag snob…

  6. It’s so sad when women try to cling to thier youth not matter what their age. Cameron is usually such a quirky dresser. I like her style. This was some crap she wore on MTV’s TRL. Most actresses dress badly for that show becaue it appeals to a younger audience.

  7. I’m in the mood to be contentious 🙂 I think she dressed appropriately for the occasion – she WAS on mtv – and she is looking pretty good lately. Her legs look amazing and even though it is a mini-overall dress, it’s remarkably figure-flattering. I wouldn’t wear it around town but for a show targeting young teens who wear this kind of crap all the time, I think she looks great. Fab accessories too. I’d even go so far as to say she looks better here than at the Costume Institue gala, with that awful Wilma Flintstone jewellery and the once gorgeous and unique, now completely overplayed Dior confection.

  8. I can’t see nothing wrong in her appearance, she is only trying to reach her fans and since she is not character actor you can’t expect her to dress differently than her fans does….

  9. i’m going to have to disagree with you. Her legs are fab, she should play them up & she has the body to dress like this.

    She looks fine.

  10. I think the overall/dress/jumper is totally ridiculous (and a halter no less!) on a grown woman. Love the shoes though!

  11. I have a British friend, and she has a wonderful expression that I often say to myself when I get dressed, reminding myself of my age and what to wear or not to wear. “Mutton, dressed like a lamb”.

    That about says it all. If the event was MTV, that does give her a pass. Great everything else though, shoes!!! especially.

  12. IF EITHER OF YOU HAD HER BODY YOU WOULD NOT COMMENT NEGATIVELY.YOU HAVE TO BE TALL AND ATHLETIC TO PULL THIS OFF.

  13. I think Cameron in general has a great body and she’s aging just fine. I refuse to engage in bashing somebody based on aging–hell, it happened to me, it happens to pretty much everybody who doesn’t get injected and operated on every time you turn around.

    However, I wouldn’t put this outfit, except for the shoes which are fabulous, on anybody whose age is in the double digits, and I’d lengthen it for a girl because who needs that short length on the monkey-bars? IOW, I just hate the thing because it’s a uselessly short romper, not because it’s too young for her specifically.

    Don’t get me wrong: I love overalls. And denim. But both belong in the art studio (where I wear mine) or for housecleaning days. Think about how darn cute (and young, and informal enough for MTV) her white tee and those shoes would have been with a simple black, red, or green mini?

  14. It’s so funny, I saw this exact same overalls the very next day! Lol, it looks like something I wore back in the 8th grade…

  15. And she used to be so impeccably turned out…must be a mid-life crisis. Ridiculous get-up and too tan but fantastic body. I hope that’s not botox she’s got on her face! I wish I was her nevertheless.

  16. I think Cameron looks hot. She’s a former model, she doesn’t have spider veins or flab sticking out so i say, if you got it, work it! Or be sad and end up in rehab again today like nicole richie (May 23rd 2007) or dress hideously like Jessica Simpson or way too young like Ms. Heather Locklear…

  17. Cameron recentlty broke up with what’s his name girls,so let’s not judge her too harshly.We have all been there!Yet sister to sister, she would look beter in a long slinky thang.Just my opinion.
