Balmain certainly has done worse.
But Balmain could also have done better. I’d have made the top a plain halter, perhaps, instead of designing it to resemble two crossed neckties over a tube top. I’d also have lined the skirt and taken away the strip of midriff. And fit it properly. The only thing here that’s correctly sized to her figure is the footwear, made all the more obvious by the fact that we JUST saw Kate Beckinsale in a visually questionable midriff-baring dress that still perfectly tailored. It can be done, Balmain. Please look up from the Kardashian Instagram feeds long enough to make it happen.
