A typical outfit, this top does nothing for her body. I'd imagine that these jeans also add like 20 pounds. I understand that she wants to wear tight-fitting clothing so her sleeves don't get caught in flames or whatever, but I still don't like it. PS: watch the show on TV--this image is definitely photoshopped. Those highlights are also too unnatural, distracting us from her eyes and instead focusing our gaze on the distractingly ugly bleach they slapped on there arbitrarily.
And this is just bad. Cap sleeves rarely look good on women (though for some reason they still make them) and these colors do nothing for her. Oh, and visit youtube--there are some great vintage eps.
Basically, RR is all over the place. I can't adequately convey it in a blog post, but here is a moment of complete randomness. Why they dressed her this way for the cover is beyond me--maybe they're trying to combine audiences for Mad Men with that of RR? I feel like I'm one of the only ones that overlap. Mad Men viewers would more likely tune into Barefoot Contessa, I think.
Part of why they dress her in bad v-necks, I think, is to cater to a particular audience--it's an audience that finds terms like "EVOO" and "Yum-O!" endearing, or comprehensive. These people don't necessarily watch Ina and her flamboyant friends in the Hamptons have a ball put together bouquets. So why, all of a sudden, is she dressed like a Stepford wife on the cover of her own magazine?
Like I said, RR needs some styling advice. Maybe she should call Stacy London--perhaps she'll deck her all out in the latest Searle knits.
