11/14/2006: "Rooftop Déjà Vu?"
Hello to all my little fashion victims! 
FINALLY Mimi is emancipated from her what feels like year-long vacation (haven't we missed her?!), just like a butterfly from its cocoon. Sooo, to the question on everyone's mind..! Did our favorite diva stun her ex, New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, at last week's Joe Torre Stay At Home Foundation Gala? Well, let's just say I hope this, what looks to be a leftover from her tour collection, was just her arrival/departure ensemble...
Okay, first off, the good: the top surely frames those two big stunners well.
And... okay, that's all I got.
This dress looks cheap, thanks to those unflattering side cutouts. Why she keeps insisting on those is way beyond me. The thing is, you can't really go wrong with a long black gown, IF you just choose to accentuate your advantages. Why not ditch the Barbieish cutouts and opt for a nice long slit to show off those gorgeous legs (and what looks to be a pair of fabulous matching pumps)?
A lovely black ensemble also gives you the fabulous opportunity to really go all out with the make-up - so where are the dramatic, seductive smoky eyes? With such a demure lip make-up, you really need a sharper eye make-up to avoid that washed out look. Also, with a halterneck cut, sweeping up the hair (think "Don't Forget About Us" video) would leave the shoulders exposed, which would make for a more slimming effect.
Grade: C-
