Socialite Actress Byrdie Bell Wears Bell-Bottoms to Winter Wonderland Ball in New York City

Byrdie Bell in Bell-Bottoms: Love It or Hate It?

by 8

Byrdie Bell let her cocktail pants bloom at the Winter Wonderland Ball in NYC recently. The socialite-philanthropist-model-actress had one of the most intriguing outfits of the night, standing tall and proudly flare-legged among the more traditional crop of ladies in dresses. The '70s bell-bottom has resurfaced recently, but the evening bell-bottom could be ushering in a whole new trend in party dressing. What do you think?

The pants are ugly enought; but with that long top, the outfit is hideous.

There's a reason bell bottoms went out of style in the 70's..... This is it.

The fabric looks cheap and they're too long. They look homemade but in a bad way, love the rest of it though.

From the knees up, the outfit is lovely. The bell bottoms are so exaggerated she looks like a clydesdale horse!

The girl is beautiful but those pants are little out there. I like the other pieces of the outfit especially the jacket.

Interesting! I wonder if she was inspired by that, or it's just coincidence?

This looks almost like a type of Indian outfit that consists of bell bottoms and a tunic called a gharara that is becoming popular again amongst indian brides. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gharara
