Lara Bingle was back on the red carpet earlier today for the Cleo Annual Swim Party held at the Water Bar in Sydney, Australia.
The girl-about-town donned a gorgeous Josh Goot strapless dress.
This urban futuristic dress would’ve looked perfect with the right shoes.
Lara’s black leather over-the-knee boots don’t cut it for me; they are overkill with this summery frock.
Isn’t it summer in Australia at the moment?

This is major fashion crime in my book.
+1 how to destroy a look in 2 seconds
OMG.
How could she do that to such a nice dress?
Aaaaaack. Unbelievably awful.
Terrible.
I have no words. What was she thinking???!!
Can’t find a single thing I like about this look.
The hair and lack of mattifying powder are killng the look. The boots I have no words for.
It’s definitely hard to see the details of her dress because all I’m focused on is her killer leather boots. For some reason she reminds me of Stella Mccartney at a, very short quick, glance. I can see maybe another type of pair of boots like of Emilio Pucci lace ups or even open toe OTK boots. I really can’t make out the details of her
Olive heels would’ve been perfect.
Oh my god! I saw Lara had instagrammed a few photos from this event and I thought, wow her makeup looks better/less dirty and that dress actually looks rather stylish and flattering… But now I see she paired it with knee high boots!!!?? What on earth was she thinking!? It defies logic!! Ruined what could have been a (rare) good look!
The try hardness from this look is insane.
LOL FC, I’ve noticed how clever you are with your monikers for Lara. Since some give you beef (unnecessarily) when you call her a socialite, you’ve gone totally creative! “Girl about town”
As for this look, it’s horrible head to toe. Don’t like a thing about it.
I am always learning
Hate the look, but it’s not summer here yet, not until December!
Futuristic dress … I couldn’t tell. The styling buried it. But this girl looks like from the future. Anyone remembers the sci-fi flop starring with Al Pacino, “Simone”? Here, Simone goes to a party.
It is Spring at the moment FC and we are having beautiful warm and sunny days, so her outfits of late have been baffling with respect to seasons. Unsurprisingly, this look is also a trainwreck. It is a shame because I really like the dress itself.
The over tan and the boots kill this great dress. I hope it gets a rerun.
