Oh dear

Normally this is the kind of thing I would leave to the Go Fug Yourself girls, since they do this for a living and are brilliant at it. But I just could not leave this one alone, and so far they haven't said anything about it. Once they do, you can forget whatever I've said.

First off, please let me say that I admire Emma Thompson so, SO very much. I think she is gorgeous and talented and smart. She started her own comedy troupe. She dated Hugh Laurie in college. She writes and acts and gets Academy Awards for both those things. She wrote the screenplay for Sense and Sensibility and got the lead role and got all her friends to be in it. And then she married hottie Greg Wise who played Willoughby. Take that, Kenneth I'm-So-Great Branagh! So, yes. Nothing but admiration.

The only thing that's tricky about her is that despite all that sense and wit she sometimes turns up in public dressed in really, really strange and unflattering outfits. Which brings us to today, when I saw this picture of her at the premier of Stranger than Fiction. (Sorry I can't post the photo here but I didn't want to sign up for a WireImage account.)

Seriously. What. Is. That. It looks like an ice-skating outfit gone wrong. Maybe she thinks the scarf helps, but it would need to be lots, lots bigger to cover that up. It gets worse when you see the whole thing. I bet poor Dustin Hoffman didn't know where to look.

Even though Emma Thompson is fabulous and has the credibility to dress however she wants, I really wish she wouldn't. It kind of makes me die a little bit inside.
