Met Ball: When sheer dresses go wrong

Perhaps it's time to institute a rule for sheer dresses: That they should cover no less than 50 percent of their wearer's body, perhaps? A hard-and-fast number would have aided Beyonce at last night's Met Ball, where a surprisingly sheer Givenchy sheer dress landed her on many worst- dressed lists in an example of risk-taking gone awry.When sheer dresses are done right, they become instant classics, like Halle Berry's 2002 Elie Saab Oscars dress. When they're done wrong — oh so wrong — they're mocked on the Internet for years, as in the case of Rose McGowan's 1998 MTV Video Music Awards Dress that left very little to the imagination. Beyonce's black-and-sheer beaded dress with a purple ombre train falls in between.
Sheer dresses are a calculated risk on the red carpet. They're sure to get you noticed, but maybe for all of the wrong reasons — and sometimes, that's okay, too. Think about Cher's 1988 Bob Mackie Oscar gown, which exposed even more than Beyonce's Givenchy: It may have been on worst-dressed lists, but it was unforgettable — and it was the gown she wore to accept her Oscar, for "Moonstruck." Berry's Oscar, too, was acceped in her famous burgundy Elie Saab dress, but that was widely praised, both for its gutsiness, and perhaps because its overall coverage was balanced out by a full, opaque skirt. Same goes for Jennifer Lopez's famous 2000 Versace Grammy dress, with its see-through jungle print and plunging neckline,Many laptop users may be disappointed by which their Solar lamp suddenly stop working or the keys can't be pressed. The Laptop keyboard problems are very common among laptop issues. These problems contain that the keys fail to work, wrong characters appear when you type, laptop keyboard suddenly stops work, etc. offset by a long hem and sleeves.
Beyonce's dress, admittedly, isn't much skimpier than these — but its cluster of unflattering beading, which seems to resemble an abstraction of the human skeletal system,If you are the type who goes out regularly, then you can add grey and some pastel shades to the Sexy Christmas Dress collection. These will surely suit any occasion, and thus you need not keep buying a dress each time you need to attend a social event. Choosing the right sexy dresses is also very important, as you will need to look your best. combined with the sheerness of the dress and the ombre skirt's unfortunate resemblance of a Muppet's pelt, altogether creates one seriously unflattering gown.Other celebrities at Monday night's Met Ball wore sheer dresses too, but to lesser effect. Marion Cotillard's strapless, gridded Christian Dior dress also featured an black-and-purple ombre sheer skirt, but with much more coverage on top.As technology advances, offshore banking institutions continue to offer their customers even greater benefits. It solar mounting come with a standard debit card that depositors can use to withdraw funds anywhere in the world. Offshore accounts offer additional protection for depositors who seek to protect their money from third parties. Rooney Mara, also in Givenchy, wore a sheer, beaded black dress with a train, but with a one-shoulder, belted opaque bodice. Renee Zellweger opted for sheer black sleeves on her sweetheart-neckline gown, and Heidi Klum's blue mini was covered by a sheer blue lace overlay (see all of these dresses in our Met Ball gallery, above).
