Very attentive fashion watchers noted that Angelina Jolie, wearing a lovely blue dress from the Max Azria Spring ’09 Collection, appeared to have worn her dress backwards this past weekend when she attended the 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Today, US Weekly reports that Angelina‘s stylist, Jen Rade, admits to the mag that yes, Angelina wore the dress backwards and did so purposely. Uh huh. Here are pictures of Angelina on the red carpet at the SAG Awards this past Sunday evening and of a model wearing the very same dress properly (ie. not backwards) on the runway this past September at NY Fashion Week:
Blogs have been buzzing that Angelina Jolie wore her cornflower blue Max Azria gown backward at Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles. Well, she did. Her stylist Jen Rade tells Usmagazine.com Jolie purposefully turned around the dress — which was from Azria’s spring 2009 collection — to make it “more blouson.” (The actress was also able to show off her tattoos more.) sked about getting ready, Jolie told E!’s Giuliana Rancic: “I just like to be comfortable. I see what comfortable options are out there.”
Um, right. I mean … I suppose this explanation makes sense but are any of y’all buying it? Doesn’t this wearing one’s dress backwards thing remind you of anyone else who already tried to make this look work?
I mean, if I were Angelina, I wouldn’t want people thinking I copied Céline Dion either so I might have my stylist come up with a rational explanation too! I suppose, in any event, Ange still looked nice in her dress … even if she wore it wrong. She did show off her beloved tattoos and looked good in the process so … no harm, no foul. At least it gives us something else to talk about … rather than the fact that she keeps losing all of her award nominations, that is. I can’t wait to see what outfit she decides to wear to the Academy Awards next month … and whether she’ll wear it frontwards or backwards. Mebbe she’ll wear THIS dress? It’s sure to cause a sensation whichever way she wears it :)

Blurg– I didn’t read before I posted– I meant to mention that the show was called “the comeback”.
@ Klkl – There is nothing else going on with them right now, so its understandable that’s what Trent brings up. If it annoys you- skip the post.
I like the dress backwards much better. I think it was a smart move.
she probably did do it on purpose. but did anyone else notice that the last 3 red carpets appearences have basically been all the same dresses? i expect more from her lol
UGLY dress. It’s odd when you know someone has or at least CAN GET damn near any kind of clothing they desire… and then they end up dressed in something ugly.
christine i couldn’t agree with you more. i think she’s an ok actress and personally she’s done a lot of good, but wtf is up with her attitude. every time she’s interviewed lately she comes off looking like a stuck up beeyatch who’s too cool for school. and why is it that she’s allowed to show up for awards/events looking like she put in zero effort and no one calls her out on it. fine, you have a zillion kids and don’t give a crap what you look like. but its an awards show – at least pretend like you care about the industry that got you where you are.
It’s not like she has any really nice/pretty tats to show off anyway…
she looked fab and i say the model looks like shit! she needs a burger bad
How can you be “so over” someone when you say you were never a fan anyway?
@Nicole, you are SO right on..Her last 3 looks are totally similiar..Boring..And I think she’s looking sickly skinny..I’ve never been a fan of her acting, but I’ve always thought she was gorgeous with a banging body..Now she almost looks anorexic..I’d understand if she was always this skinny, but she used to have some meat on her!
That Angelina shes so avant garde!!!
im kidding by the way
Kinda snarky to talk about how she isn’t winning awards. Bottom line is that she was nominated. That is truly saying something, considering that there were countless other actresses that were not. In no way can she, or other actresses who aren’t winning awards, be considered as being a “loser”. She is in a very small group of actresses who were deemed worthy. Give her some credit for that.
This goes for the actors as well.
Celine’s doesn’t look good because is too obvious the dress is backwards.
Angelina looks beautiful and it gives her a chance to show off her tattoos.
Well, Celine’s isn’t a dress, but you know what I mean :P
Nahh Trent, she’s just trying to show off her tattoos, of course!
who would wanna get tattoos and hide them all thier lives?
:)
The dress is fug.Why don’t she just go away and raise her village
Well, Celine is less of the visionary since the Smoking she wore was designed to be worn backwards by John Galliano for the spring/summer Dior collection of 1999. It wasn’t Celine’s idea.
i don’t get it. of all the amazing gorgeous dresses practically (or literally) thrown at celebrities. why can’t they wear something beautiful and unique? this dress is just butt ugly – from the front, from the back, from the side…
LOL@all the fat cows leaving negative comments about Angie. Probably had your husbands leave you for a much prettier woman like Brad did STFU and GTFO.
I think her dress looks a lot better backwards!! I’m not a huge fan of it worn properly, but backwards isn’t bad…
