Rate or Slate Rashida Jones, Nicola Roberts and Jessica Biel’s outfit choices?
The Contestants
Rashida Jones attended the New York premiere of Celeste and Jessie in a printed Resort 2013 Thakoon dress. Valentino sandals and a killer red pout completed her look.
Nicola Roberts arrived at the Styled to Rock photo call in a Montreal Canadiens hockey jersey dress and white strappy platform heels. Channeling the sporty vibe, we guess Olympics fever has really gripped Nicola!
Jessica Biel appeared on Good Morning America in a teal, bijoux print Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012 dress. Completing her look were Louis Vuitton toe-cap pumps, a perfectly tousled mane and her signature smile.
Opinion
Fashion News Ed, Maria says:
‘As Rashida’s dress is so busy, some simple nude pumps would have sufficed. I like the idea to use a waist-defining belt, but a skinnier one would have been a better choice.’
‘Nicola does kind of look like she got out of her high school boyfriend’s bed in a hurry, wore his top by accident and then legged it out of the house doing a walk of shame. I do like the idea of this look in theory… maybe some hotpants, tights or a different choice of shoes would have been better though.’
‘Jessica Biel showcases her style versatility here, and proves that she is equally as gorgeous in a more demure, casual and feminine creation as she is when she goes high fashion/edgy. Definitely my favourite – and nice touch on the natural make-up and shoes!’
The Verdict
RATE to the the power of one!
Rashida Jones flipped the ‘less is more’ mantra on its head, and really lived up to it with this busy outfit. More never was more, Ms. Jones! Although the sporty trend hit us majorly for SS’12, Nicola Roberts’ rendition really wasn’t suited for a photocall named ‘Styled to Rock.’ It’s a fashion fail this time, Nic. Our winner this week, Jessica Biel in a delectable Oscar de la Renta dress, did the classic, timeless-beauty-in-pretty-dress trick and clearly won us over. With such perfect tresses to boot, no wonder Mrs. Soon-to-be-Timberlake’s outfit is rate-worthy!
