Love it or Hate it: Gemma Ward in Balenciaga

Models usually rock the red carpet and runway without much effort and still look amazing. As they very well should as it’s what they do for a living. But what is happening here with Gemma Ward wearing an outfit from Balenciaga’s Fall 2007 RTW collection? Is it her dark roots or stringy hair? Is it her blah makeup? Can we really blame her for not looking 100% confident in those open toed boots? Or is her outfit really hideous and I’m just not saying it because it would almost be sacrilegious to blast Balenciaga? This could also be what it must be like to be without the benefit of the right hair, makeup and style experts. When you’re someone in the public eye, or know that you’re going to be photographed for the whole world to see, your mantra should be “Don’t leave home without them!”

What do you think? Love it or hate it? And why?

      I think the runway version is kind of fierce. The head paint is pretty awesome so it just comes off as gypsy chic. But gemma looks a little sloppy in that outfit and tired so it doesn’t work very well.


    2. G.G. Says:

      Hate it – there’s too much going on – she looks like she’s run off from a wild-west show or a poorly costumed version of “Annie Get Your Gun” at the local high school.


    3. Mimi Says:

      the heavy eye makeup looks good…but not with the dark clothing. its too much. and with the hair it looks just unpleasant. if she did something better with her hair and lighten up on the makeup just MAYBE it would work


    4. Chelsie Says:

      Maybe she should have straightened her hair, and worn more natural looking makeup. No jewelry is needed because the outfit is a statement all on its own. The shoes length is too short. It looks odd how there is a little bit of leg showing between the bottom and the shoe. Gemma should have posed with her hands in her pockets. It looks a lot more chic.
