Fashion Assassin: Mariah Carey Is Not A Trendsetter
|
She may have one of the best voices around (at least if you ask her; I don't think she's done anything particularly exciting or innovative in years), but Mimi should not be allowed to dress herself. Everything she wears is a variation on the same tired theme: maximum cleavage, cropped jacket, scantily clad lower end. Yawn. Someone has to tell Mimi that she's not a young girl anymore, even though this ensemble makes her look like the easy girl on the short bus. The Barbarella thing she's done with her hair just makes her big moon face look even bigger, and those bug-eyed wraparound shades just make her look cheekier. What exactly do you call those shorts - corset shorts? Vestaloons? It looks like something an oversexed senior would wear to bingo night. They don't create the slimming effect I'm sure she was hoping for, and by the looks of things, I'm guessing those tights aren't the control top type. I'm just guessin'. I realize that Mariah is one of the most diva-rocious of all divas today. She's got a sippy cup holder, a sweat blotter, a towel fetcher ... God knows what else her help does for her. It's downright creepy. But like Britney, she's her own worst enemy, and no one has the balls to stand up to her and tell her she looks lame dressed like a teenager. |
