Amazing to think blogs are buzzing and the press are talking about Angelina Jolie wearing her dress backwards to this year's Sag Awards. I ask the question. What is backwards? Clothing is meant to be explored and individualized. Tags are signals from the designer on how to wear their garment, but so are care labels telling you to dry clean only. Most items don't even need to be dry cleaned, the care tag, sometimes awkwardly placed is simply to protect the manufacturer and annoy the wearer. Angelina Jolie the mother of six and global ambassador or AKA, the HOTTEST women in the world, is not about to Jennifer Lopez up her appearance as the wild child she once was. Angie's choice to wear her Max Azria dress in a more demure manner should not be considered news-worthy. Especially when Max Azria intended the gown to be worn both ways. The fact that there is so much controversy around Angie's styling choice shows that we are not wearing our clothing, our clothing is wearing us. The back is a beautiful statement and is always the quieter choice to a spilling cleavage. Would have loved to have seen Angie throw this season's thin belt in the center just to punch it up, but kudos for showing the world that clothing does not have to be worn just the way it was intended.
Style Tip-Make your own style moments, never think of clothing with a front and back only. Problem solve your own red carpet appearances and watch your wardrobe options flourish.
