Kate Bosworth in Erdem | LACMA Art + Film Gala presented by Gucci

When I first saw this yellow lace dress from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection by Erdem, I sort of fell in love with it — which is why it kind of pains me to write this post.

I really want to like Kate Bosworth in this off-the-shoulder look at the LACMA Art + Film Gala honoring Clint Eastwood and John Baldessari in Los Angeles…but, I just can’t.

There’s something very 8th grade spring dance about it.

Not even in recent times…like…circa 1995.

Add in the satin nude accessories and I’m just miserable looking at this.

What went wrong Kate?

I know if she had left her hair out it wouldn’t have helped because it would’ve just been messy.

Perhaps a fun ponytail? No, that would be too much like Sandy from “Grease”.

I still love the dress though, and I know that even a peep-toe pump would have been better than the extreme point toe.

Kate’s bag is by Christian Louboutin and her pumps are by designer Jonathan Kelsey.
