It's a mizzy, rainy, muggy Saturday, so let's all practice our judging.

In or Out: Leighton Meester

LET'S GET BITCHY!

Leighton Meester attends the opening of the Klutch Nightclub in Miami Beach, Florida wearing a Christopher Kane dress and YSL suede ankle boots.

Y'know, with a little illusion netting, she totally could have been a walking "two faces kissing or a goblet?" optical illusion.

Christopher Kane Spring 2009 Collection/YSL Fall 2009 Collection

Ooooh, honey. That's just a no. There are a lot of elements to this little frock and they're just not coming together in any way that looks flattering. In fact, there's so much going on here that you really need to be a professional clothes-wearer (i.e., model) to get it to work at all. We don't exactly love the dress on the model, but she's been dressed and tucked and pinned to perfection and her only job skill is the ability to make clothes look good. Besides, she had that dress on for a total of about 20 minutes, if that.

On Leighton it just looks sloppy and overdone. Please note that we are NOT saying that she's not model-thin enough to wear the dress. This has nothing to do with body types (and let's face it, Leighton's body is pretty much flawless by real-world standards); it has more to do with...well, having the skill to wear a dress like this. We know that sounds a little silly, but the higher up you get on the fashion chain, the more you have to possess some sort of skill at wearing clothes, especially if you're regularly photographed. An unusual little dress like this requires boatloads of attitude, perfect posture from every angle, and the kind of (occasionally delusional) confidence that says "I am the SHIT in this frigging dress!"

So, even though her shoes are fabulous, her hair and makeup are pretty and the dress is unusual and eye-catching, it's more of an OUT for us. Leighton honey, pay attention. We're going to give you the advice that your stylist obviously didn't but your gay uncles will:

Chin up, tits out, feet spaced at shoulder width, hand on hip and through it all, keep telling yourself over and over and over again "Everyone wants to be me or do me."

2009 Emmy Awards P1

Let's rip on some celebrities! Remember, they're all too thin and too rich so they deserve it.

Blake Lively in Versace Fall 2009
Model: Vlada Roslyakova

Yawn. Some interest around the armhole there but we never understand why starlets insist on wearing a dress that matches the carpet. She looks like a floating head.



Chloe Sevigny in Isaac Mizrahi Resort 2010
Model: Karolin Wolter


Wow. She looks surprisingly good here. It's a plainly pretty dress that fits her perfectly. A shame she didn't have time to do anything about her hair and makeup. Apparently she learned about the Emmys at the last minute.



Christina Hendrick in L'Wren Scott


Go Joannie!

Fits great; color's great. It's maybe a little shiny but we'll give that a pass. No jewelry around the neck. Wise choice. When you're that racktacular, you just don't need it.



Debra Messing in Michael Kors


Yow. What's SHE so pissed about?



Drew Barrymore in Monique Lhuillier


It's a cute, sweetly romantic dress in a pretty, but slightly washed out color. We like it on her and we like the hair, but that lip color is all wrong.



Elizabeth Moss in Reem Acra Fall 2009
Model: Mariana I.


This is the kind of dress one can wear if one is a near-6-feet tall size 2 who gets lowered into events on cranes and never has to do anything but stand and pose. Mere mortals who have to get there in a limo and move around should probably avoid it.



Heidi Klum in Marchesa


She is holding that dress up with superior German willpower.



Katrina Bowden in Christian Siriano


Cute. Needed to be jazzed up with the hair and jewelry more.



Leighton Meester in Bottega Veneta Fall 2009
Model: Toni Garrn


This makes her look old.



Mila Kunis in Monique Lhuillier Fall 2009
Model: Dasha Malygina


We kind of love this. It's youthful and it's got a slight edge.



Sandra Oh in Marchesa Resort 2010
Model: Iekeliene Stange


Yawn.



Toni Collette in Monique Lhouillier Resort 2010
Model: Rachel Clark


It's fun, but the bodice looks all kinds of wonky on her. And from the neck up she looks like she's doing her grocery shopping.



Victoria Rowell


Okay that shit is just crazy.
