When bad styling happens to Celebritiies

Madonna was just listed in this outfit on OMG as one of the worst dressed outfits for 2008. While Janet Jackson, Solange deserve their honors, Madonna's outfit is an example of bad styling. I actually think the dress is fun and flirty and a style departure even for the most reinvented master, Madonna herself. What should have been considered when accessorizing this grassy number. I always say, busy and busy make simple but in this case one simple mistake was made that threw off the whole look. Had Madonna worn black opaque tights instead of sheer panty hose, she would have achieved the look she was going for. The hose are simply too Vegas showgirl and Madonna's legs aren't long enough to pull it off. On top of it. Madonna has very short, masculine arms, loading up her arms with thick chunky bangles brings your eye right down to the belt in the middle of her waist, which is just too much going on in one area of her body.

Styling tip- Balance is very important when planning a risky outfit of your own. Black opaque tights are a fantastic neutralizer and when you put something heavy with heavy it will balance the weight of your outfit.
