Silk is a hard fabric to pull off. What's the rule? If you're wearing a silk top, don't wear a silk bottom. Well, this is an entirely silk dress. It accentuates the body in all the wrong places.

And the award for the craziest-looking 2012 Oscars guest goes to Brian Glazer, the co-producer of 'The 84th Annual Academy Awards.' We can't even make a sound judgement on his date's attire 'cause we're too busy wondering if this guy got electrocuted.

This dress is not glamorous enough for the 2012 Oscars red carpet. Maybe on someone else this would be okay, but on Woodley, there's just no sexiness whatsoever.

What is that print? Is it a bird? A flower? And what's up with those creases? It already looks like the morning-after dress with all the wrinkles and it's not even the awards ceremony yet.

Didn't you get the hint from Ludovic Bource's guest about this kind of print? This is a dress for old women, what with the lace poking out from the top and the fact that it doesn't really show off any part of her body.
