Elizabeth Banks Wore Alaïa To The ‘Cocaine Bear’ LA Premiere

Elizabeth Banks Wore Alaïa To The 'Cocaine Bear' LA Premiere

Elizabeth Banks attended the Los Angeles premiere of Universal Pictures’ ‘Cocaine Bear’ on Tuesday (February 21), and I think I didn’t post it yesterday because I was so incredibly disappointed.

As you know Elizabeth Banks is my girl, so it pains me to say, “Girl. This is not your dress.”

I had such high hopes for this Alaïa Spring 2023 gold and silver embellished draped dress.

Before I get to the styling, I have to point out the top half of the look.

Why is so much of the material gathered on her chest?

I can’t imagine this was to make the dress shorter, because you would do that around the waist…surely?

So I can only conclude that this dress just did not fit, or the modification from a scoop neck to a v-neck didn’t work.

So why wear it?   Where was Plan B?

And then we get to the styling; specifically the hair.

This blowout doesn’t work with this style of dress.

Copy the runway.  Give this dress the slick back ponytail or high bun it was calling out for.

I like the tights but those Versace Aevitas pointy platform pumps were the final nail in the coffin.

This is a truly shockingly bad outing by anyone’s standards. 

It’s almost like those bad dupes you get from Wish or Ali Express.

I’m praying for a rerun because this is so cringe, and the craftsmanship of this dress deserves better.
