Vanessa Hudgens put on her party best for the ‘Spring Breakers’ Paris premiere at Le Grand Rex on Monday.
She took to the red carpet dressed in a Rafael Cennamo dress from the Spring 2013 collection.
The strapless creation was a riff on the lookbook version, cutting the floor-sweeping length to an above-the-ankle hem and inverting the soft colour palette to a harsher, less sophisticated contrast of black and ballet pink.
The effect caused the rosette embellishment to appear more like dark spots than dainty petals.
I also missed the edge of the metallic belt, but that would have overwhelmed the pretty and petite Vanessa even more.
An elaborate updo, dagger-shaped black-lacquered nails, and heavy black, rosette-topped pumps were the over-the-top finishes to this look.
Yes, girls just wanna have fun. But, here, the fun seemed too twee and appeared more suited to a prom princess than a red-carpet starlet.

Horrible
+1. The only word for it.
This is prom dress gone bad. I don’t know what’s worse, the dress itself, the updo or the shoes. That put together with the fact she’s selling a movie called Spring Breakers (which presumably requires a fun look) only makes me more puzzled at her choice.
Agree on everything you said.
Totally agree
I love the dress on the model with the softer colour combo and full length. Her extra height and the belt give a completely different silhouette. Ms Hugdens lacks the stature to carry this off. The overall effect is heavy and overdone.
She looked so tacky and cheesy she’s qualified to be a judge on X Factor.
LOL! you are a cheeky one pipsqueak!
It’s all a bit of a mess really.
Nope.
Awful. Just awful.
I’m quite taken by the lookbook version, the colours are lovely, the silhouette works better. What Vanessa made out of it, is just wrong: the colours, the lenght, the shoes, argh!
From the ankles up this look precisely resembles the Barbie-topped cake at my best friend’s 4th birthday.
I had similar prom dress, with roses and all of that, in 1998..
Vanessa looks gorgeous, in my opinion. Not the biggest fan of the dress and I would have chosen black strappy sandals instead of those heavy pumps, but the look overall is lovely on her. And she’s taking risks, for a change. Yes, it is cheesy but not as bad anyway.
i don’t think this look is that bad actually it suprised me how you loved emma stone tragic look at the berlin festival and not this look i’am pretty sure vanessa doesn’t look as bad as emma
Vanessa is a pretty girl and she does look cute from the neck up.
But everything else is a disaster. Her height doesn’t allow her to pull off this type of dress and the shoes are kinda ugly imo.
FC, you should really start making worst dressed of the week poll
can I say that I hate everything of this look? the awful color and shape of the dress,awkward length,heavy pumps,unmatched skin color and her messy hair. UGH.Everything was just so wrong.
I really like her hair and makeup but the dress and shoes are bad.
Pretty girl let down by an awful dress. Honestly if the fit in the bodice and bust were better, it would look 1000 times better. This does not work.
Someone pass some eye bleach! This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
the sad thing is this dress looks beautiful on the model, but vanessa ruins it. granted it is a nice change from her try hard over accessorising hippie “chic” look.
Head-to-toe disaster, WDOTY worthy.
That dress is eating her alive. Petite girls cannot pull off that much fabric and the voluminous shape isn’t helping either. If the dress was shorten to the knee or tapered in some how and paired with a nude or strappy heel, I could have gotten on board. It’s a real shame too because the dress is really beautiful. Just doesn’t work with Vanessa’s built.
This is horrific and WDOTY worthy as Nat39 said. The dress might have been fanciful on the model, though it wasn’t perfect there, but Vanessa’s modification make it the dumpiest look every to make it from 1985 to the present. Seriously, the black splotchy appliues, the frumpy and voluminous silhouette, the too-tight bodice and overly revealing neckline, and her ridiculous hair and shoes…just a dreadful look.
Whoo boy! This is a mess. This is making my WDOTY list.
What on earth just happened? This is so bad that I am lost for words. WDOTY??
