Jessica Biel sparkled at the Golden Globes in a glimmering beaded Valentino dress, but it was a familiar look: Hilary Swank wore the same "vintage" dress three years ago for the Oscars. That's a major fashion faux-pas for any stylist.
This morning I saw a cab promoting Disney's Princesses on Ice 2.
The ad showed all of our favorite Disney princesses in the same outfits we first met them in. Belle in her yellow Versace dress, Cinderella in her Armani gown, etc.
The thing is, these girls, er princesses, have been committing crimes far worse than Jessica Biel. They've been rewearing these same dresses for years, and the tabloids, ET and Extra never cite them for it. I didn't see any headlines reading, "Snow White hit the red carpet in the same dress she wore 70 years ago."
Are they somehow above the fashion mores of Hollywood? Is there a double-standard? They would never, ever let heiresses Paris Hilton or Ivanka Trump get away with this. Perhaps in spite of their iconic status, they may just be D-List actors now, and can't afford new wardrobes.
If this is the case, I'm writing to ABC in hopes of seeing one of them on Dancing with the Stars next season. Not Ariel though. That would be weird.
