Malin Akerman joined Julianne Hough and Catherine Zeta-Jones on the red carpet yesterday evening for the ‘Rock Of Ages’ world premiere, held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California.
Dressed in a Reem Acra gown inspired by the Fall 2012 collection, the Swedish actress showed off a lot of skin.
Her black gown with cut out details, silver metallic panels and a hip-high split is a very risqué look for Malin.
From the side dress appears to be held together by a single thread. God help her if someone had stepped on her train.
Black Giuseppe Zanotti mesh sandals, an Edie Parker black clutch and side-swept wavy locks completed her look.
Too revealing or just right for a rock movie premiere?

How to Achieve the Classic Blowout
The cut-out detail seems a little too much. The hip-high split would have been enough.
+1 true.
seems like Angelina Jolie’s high split (and pose =)) ) had a huge impact on celebs. they insist on showing more and more and more skin.
God, Malin Akerman, you’re beautiful. you don’t need to become tacky and cheap just to capture our attention.
You look gorgeous – love that dress!
Definitely toooo much! Had she worn the fabulous runway version, she would have knocked it out of the park but this is just coming off as cheap and trashy to me.
definitely not the right dress for her body.
I agree. If she had had abs like J-lo it would have looket awesome! Not to be interpreted that Malin’s body isn’t beautiful, she is skinny but not as toned and fit as other celebs. Cut out dresses can look great, but if you are gonna show half of your stomach area it should really be toned.
J-Lo’s amazing abbs:

She doesnt have that hourglas figure, her stomach area is straight, its trashy and its open everywhere.
Well, it’s not the classiest gown I’ve ever seen but she looks great and not tacky at all. I like the shoes.
Sometimes more fabric is more flattering. I would never call a dress too revealing or shocking, because there’s really nothing that hasn’t been done before, but in this case the cut-outs aren’t even flattering so there’s no point to them.

LOVE IT!
It’s Rock of Ages premiere not Tea party with grandma.
It might be risqué now, but 5 years down, this will probably look tame.
She looks amazing, it’s a risk that paid off and she just oozes confidence!
i love this look. i agree with others that the dress is nit so right for her body, but i do love the styling and she’s got the right attitude for a dress like this
I just can’t take my eyes out of this picture half ninja half sexy
The runway dress is so much better and it looks better on the model also.
I tend to agree, but their respective postures are quite different, which might contribute to this impression.
I usually like what Malin wears, but unfortunately not this one. It looks tacky to me.
I have to agree. I love Malin’s edgy feminine style usually, but this is just too much.
And also she needs a little colour in her skin, too pale to show that much.
she doesnt have the waist for it..and its too revealing.
Is it just me or does the dress make her look as if she has no waistline?
I think it’s too much plus unfortunately it reminds me a bit of Anja Rubik horrible dress at Met gala. She should have wore the runway version – much more classy.
she is considered canadian…she left sweden at 2 years old..
i like the look but maybe for a music awards gala…compared to the other celebs she looks overdressed and a bit out of place
i love Malin but the runway version is wayyyyy better
This dress needs a more defined waist.
Runway version is very nice but Malins is to much
She looked amazing when she was being interviewed. I think she got away with this for a rock movie premiere, but any other event and it would be inappropriate. I love the look on her. She is confident and working it.
Runway version would have been preferred, this was not tastefully done in my opinion. Other than the fact that there is just too much skin, she is rocking this dress and it fits with the rock star persona.
OK, let’s collect the facts: cleavage, (half a) waist, leg AND back. It’s one of these looks that don’t work for me “intellectually.” Even if it looked good (which imho it doesn’t), my head would still scream “wrong, something’s missing here,” sorry.
On and off the runway, this is dress is awfully revealing. SO tacky. It’s never appropriate to show that much skin, especially not on the red carpet!
I think that the runway look with a high bun would have made more impact. Also, I think that she chose this dress to reflect the movie, as other actresses appear to do on their promo tours.
I think that her sandals are the giuseppe Zanotti ones that Jaime King wore a few weeks ago.
thank you
trashy.
+1
She is trying too damn hard in this dress.
I liked the version on the model much more. The thigh-split looks to be more a hip-split on Malin, vaguely reminding me of the dress Anya R. wore to the Met. It’s just a bit too much, especially combined with all those cut outs.
+1
Someone forgot to inform her that was movie premiere not a playboy magazine or any other masculine event. She looks painfully cheap and trashy. The runway dress with the cut out waist and split gives a sophisticated and sexy look well enough, she really didn’t need to go there and change it the way she did. Awful, awful. And she doesn’t even have a defined waist to pull off the cut out detail, so if anything, she should’ve changed that in the first place.
I hate it. Not because it’s revealing but because the cut is not right for her figure, this makes her look wide.
The dress suits the model much more than Malin because the model’s body has more of a curve. Also, Malin is Swedish-Canadian. She’s a Canadian citizen.
This is the same problem Naomi Watts has with her Versace gown. When you don’t have a defined waist, cut outs just draw attention to it.
She should have worn the runway version. It’s far less tacky than her modified version.
She looks great and I disagree with the other comments about Malin not having the body to carry it off – she has an incredble figure. For me, the problem here is that the higher neck on the runway version made the dress very sexy, but still classy enough for a premiere. Showing cleavage in addition to her stomach and all that leg was just going too far and ruined the incredible structure of the dress.
i honestly hate it! the dress is meant for a woman with curves and nice legs!she doesnt have any sort of a curve ! this is a sexy dress and sadly she doesnt have the least bit of feminine in her! sorry Malin i like ur smile though
Her top looks like the bra. She should have kept the top of the runway version. This way it looks too slutty.
I like the runway version better. this version is just tacky, and not especially flattering.
I think it’s a bit too revealing. I don’t mind the modification at the bust area, but, at the split, like you said, it “appears to be held together by a single thread” and I find this too much. She shouldn’t have made that many modifications.
She looks beautiful. Malin is a fashion risk-taker so I’m not surprised to see her experimenting a bit. This is very much inkeeping with her edgy style. No two of her looks are the same. Only tacky people look tacky on the red carpet. And she’s not.
