   you definitely are right, but i just love the way angie wears it other-way-round. i think she looks amazing and i love the way shes not wearing figure-hugging dresses like everybody else.
   but than again, as you said it, she would look great in a potato sack…
   xD

   I liked the dress on her, but thought the hair made her look matronly. It’s far too old for her.

   WOW ! she doesn’t look bad AT ALL !

   I would never think about wearing a dress back to front.
   But she pulls it off SO WELL !

   All I know is I have a couple of pieces I wear back to front — because they’re low in the back and I want them low in the front!

   If Angie wasn’t going to go for a plunging front then maybe she should have worn the beige-y dress shown - even that would have been a little bit more exciting than wearing the blue dress back to front!

   looking good in a potato sack does not actually mean you wear a potato sack though

   which she has done

   again and again

   I think I have the answer to this issue. JustJared posted a full body pic of Angie. The back of the dress appears to have quite a train. If the dress was front to back, she would be tripping all over it and it would have looked odd. She may have had it modified so that the the bottom of the dress stayed the same while the top of the dress was sewn front to back. As she's added to her family, it seems that she's gotten a lot more modest. I think she wore the dress the way that it was intended to be worn.

   Here's JJ's pic: http://justjared.buzznet.com/gallery/photos.php?yr=2009&mon=01&evt=pitt-sags&pic=brad-pitt-sag-awards-2009-04.jpg

   She’s been looking matronly for a while, nothing new here. Obviously the designer sorted out the length of the train for her since she was wearing it back to front.

   You’re right about this. She wears the blue dress ‘wrong’, only the designer modified it for her in that way.

   Btw, that other beige-y dress looks perfect for her for the Oscars. Now that Katie Holmes stole that black shapeless Escada dress in front of her nose. I mean, let’s not kid ourselves, we’re only gonna be even more disappointed. It’s not like she’s being saving Monique Lhuillier all this time for the finale.

    I know this is the same style she’s been wearing alot lately, but she does look amazing!
    I love how she wears it back to front! Not many people would even chance doing that but she did and she pulls it off!

    I agree she wore it front to back, The other dress is a totally different dress.

    we thought Angie’s outfit was a bit too plain for a formal event - so we gave her Aretha Franklin’s hat - http://www.bloomacious.com/bloomacious/2009/01/mapping-inaugural-influence-arethas-hat-is-sweeping-the-nation.html

    THIS WOMAN IS SO BORING
    everyone is starting to notice:

    http://www.tmz.com/2009/01/26/angelina-please-change-ling/

    I much prefer to see fashion disasters walking the red carpet… at least they’re TRYING

    Is she doing this for her image?
    Because bland clothing does not correlate with being a good mother. There are tons of great moms in Hollywood that look consistently amazing on the red carpet: Heidi Klum, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Beckinsale… the list goes on

    She needs to either make an effort or get off the red carpet.

    And you’re right about the dress.

    I watched Fashion Wrap on TV Guide tonight and her stylist said that, yes, she wore it back to front.

    I don’t really care if she wore it back to front. I love that she has a different style to everyone else and I also respect that she’s trying to be a little more conservative now that she has kids. I would be horrified if my mother wore some of the dresses that appear on the runway.

    Good work Angelina for sticking to her magnificent style that truly does work so well for her.

    I know Jess, I makes me laugh.

    They all had to be told by the stylist, whereas I spotted it straight away.

    The sad thing is the person who prompted me to write this story, has not even come back and said, “So you were right and I was wrong”, I would have if I was wrong.

    I wish she would have worn it the right way to cover those horrid tattoos.
