Color gradation on a dress looks good when it's subtle, but Claire's Prada gown is anything but that. The bright orange center looks like it's been spray painted on. I would have much preferred the dress in all gunmetal grey. Now, I'm no beauty expert, but I'm sure Bella would tell Claire that pink lipstick with a grey and orange gown doesn't work. Thoughts?

Stunning color, I like it!!
1Close up, I quite like it. But the hair is a mess. And what's with her face in the second picture.
2she is really able to carry it off! Not a lot of people could wear that dress! I like it!
3This is my fav dress. Amazingly unexpected. And I like the hair around her face.
4I love Claire. She is always one of my favs and here she looks stunning.
5Don't like her, don't like the dress. Even more don't like how her bag doesn't even match!
6Hmm... I don't like the clutch. But she does seem to make the dress work.
7I like it! A bit different, but it's nice for me.
8I think this looks really cool! Very interesting looking. I like the contrast of the pink with the orange.
9Nice!
10Not feeling it. Prada should stick to what works for them - muted and understated. Plus, the clutch doesn't match, and it's way too big (not to mention looks empty). And someone with a strong jaw like hers should not wear their hair up. I don't even like the necklace!
11A world of eww.
12I like it, she's a little off with the lip color, but i like the orange with the grey on the dress.
13Love the dress and the jewels, not feeling the lipstick. Is it just me or does Claire look like a young Nicolette Sheridan in the pic to the right?
14~Didn't yo momma tell you SexyNeverLeft!
yuck---- very yuck
TINA!
15i dont have an issue with it, it just different
16L!VE !N LOVE
I usually agree with the majority, but for some reason I LOVE this dress.
17That color combo could have been incredible. But, somehow it's not quite right, IMO. I don't hate the dress, though.
18Love the dress, not the lipstick with it, or the clutch. I can see where people would not like the dress though, but for my eyes it is a feast!
19why, claire? whyyy?
20i don't like the way the dress fits it makes her look too boyish.
21i like the concept of the dress and the color but that the fit is wrong and the hair and makeup need to be different
22wouldnt it be good if we could hop a flight to anywhere,so long to this life, so much fun pretending, cause bad luck's never endin
Love the dress, love her, but not loving this look.
23I thought the dress was hot and I don't even usually like those colors on anything...or anyone!
24classy...simple..
25She looks like a mess.
26Its horrible! Looks like she spilt a really large bowl of punch on herself
27Daisy-Chainsaw
hideous.
28It's actually not so bad; the thing disturbing me most is that the dress looks a little too STIFF!
29I actually really like the dress, especially with that necklace. I would have chosen another colour for the lips, though. Anyway, I love Claire Danes...

Of all the things I've lost, my mind I miss the most.
30i really like it, it´s like, i don´t know, just perfect, the combination of the colors, and the shape of the dress, incredible!
31The idea of the dress and it's colors is a nice attempt, but the orange should've been paired with a warm shade, not a cool gray. And the pink lips are sooo wrong. A soft, pinky lipgloss would've worked, but the butt-bright pink and the butt-bright orange equal sad makeup artists everywhere.
32That IS Hugh Dancy!!!!! I thought I'm hallucinating or something!!!! Lucky girl... *sigh*
33I like that dress very much. Though I am not a huge fan of her
34I like the color gradation but the fabric looks to stiff. A bit more flex and drape would be nice.
35For some reason I really do like this dress.
36Dress isn´t so bad. Material is interesting. But pink lipstick is not very good with orange dress.
37God it looks like her dress is rusting.
38I like the dress. I understand the comments of the people who don't like it, but I think she looks great.
39I don't think I can get behind this. Maybe if it had been executed differently... I don't know.
40I don't know why, but I liked this. Minus the pink lipstick which I too noticed the first time I saw it.
41I actually like this dress a lot, but the lipstick looks horrid in combination.
42The clash of pink lipstick and orange on dress is first thing I noticed....
43I like the dress, hate the bag and lipstick choice.
44I like her, but I dislike the dress, and that second shot is just unfortunate.
45I absolutly LOVE it! Stunning colors and modern! What a relief to finally see something mordern cut! The only thing is, that it could have been taiored better under her boobs so their shape had been better.
46Maybe I'm missing something. I like the dress in an odd sort of way but her make-up is all wrong.
47I'm divided. I like the color but hate the cut...what to do
