I have a Ralph Lauren dress that I like very much and, for me at least, spent some big bucks to buy it, yet I've worn it only twice in more than two years. The first time I wore it to dinner with a friend I noticed the waiter kept looking at my chest. I knew it showed some cleavage but didn't realize that the dress pulled away when I moved showing a bit too much--at least for me. The next time I wore it was to a family dinner but I wore a top underneath, which ruined the look of the dress, so it sits in my closet.
So, my point. Everywhere on Google today and yesterday are columns about Anne Hathaway's wardrobe malfunction. Now, if you want to show cleavage or your unclothed crotch, please don't play the ingenuous ingenue, which is what Anne Hathaway is doing. When she was getting out of the car her thigh high slit showed everything--everything (and she was not wearing underwear), and now she's condemning the paparazzi that sold the picture to various news organizations.
Anne Hathaway is a major film star and knew she would be posing for pictures all evening at the opening of Les Mis. Impossible to believe that when she decided to forego panties she didn't strike various poses, standing, sitting, etc. to be sure that nothing untoward showed when she moved. Her outfit was planned carefully down to the wine red lipstick and if she sat down even once in her dress before leaving home, she would have known the possibilities. I'm rather disappointed as I thought Hathaway was one of the more genuine actors (a new Meryl Streep perhaps). I'm not such a prude that I would snarl at her for showing all, just very critical of the fakery. And let's stop using the phrase "wardrobe malfunction." Wardrobes don't malfunction; people do.
