The picture is from the professional photoshoot in GQ magazine of popular new actress, Kat Dennings, who is the alt-rebel half of the "2 Broke Girls" cast.
What do you think of the look? What do you think of her? Have you seen the TV show?
A more interesting question to me is -- how often do you deliberately show your underwear?!
I don't know about the color blocking but.. holy moly, her boobs are mesmerizing! :lol:
ReplyDeleteThis look is nice for an actress photo shoot, but not for real life people like us. Well...unless you are a hooker who likes colorblocking, lol!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of her (anyone named Kat grabs my attention for obvious reasons!), but I haven't seen her in any films or anything. Not too sure about color-blocking with undergarments, though.

I've seen her around for years, and I like her! I am not one for showing undergarments in daily life. My daughter and her friends often choose bras with cute straps for wear with spaghetti strap tanks just in case they show a bit, but showing the cups is just trashy imo.
ReplyDeleteI could care less about her bra but I would LOVE to get her eyelashes!!!!
I knew underwear as outerwear had sort of come back as a fringe trend, but I don't see myself doing it anytime soon. I've just gotten to the point where I'll wear a black bra under a white shirt!
ReplyDeleteMhm, this one's difficult. I don't generally object to wearing *some* underwear items as outerwear, in fact I find it quite stylish and creative: Vintage slips as dresses, vintage girdles as miniskirts, corsets on the outside, or just lacey, lingerie-"inspired" items... but just exposing more *actual* underwear than bra straps under spaghetti strap tops, and in particular that picture with the half-exposed bra, feels gut-reaction-weirded-out-*wrong* to me.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the reason is that those items I listed are all underwear of times past, and the average person doesn't wear them as underwear today, so their use is clearly marked as non-accidental and not-primarily-for-sexualization-purposes-but-for-personal-expression. Whereas her styling for that picture seems to be purposefully sexualized for a hypothetical viewer exercising the infamous male gaze... well, it's GQ, so that is to be expected.
In any case, I went and read the article, and she seems to be a really cool person! I frequently describe myself as "weird" (with positive connotations, and certainly applicable to the fact that I take a colorblocking picture and subject it to a feminist analysis!) so this really resonated with me :)
Eek! It's called UNDERwear for a reason. I never let my bra straps or thong show. I want to be taken seriously.
ReplyDeleteI don't let my underwear show at all - I don't like how it looks!
ReplyDeleteI really like Kat Dennings and Terry Richardson(who was the photographer). And I think it looks great! But it's not something for everyday life.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that you can see almost always are my brastraps and I don't care about it.
Eh, I'm not a fan of exposed underwear... but I do keep wishing to find a solid bustier type thing (a la Madonna?)to wear this summer or possibly under cardigans.
ReplyDeleteI think sometimes the lingerie look can be hit or miss.. but I believe people have the right to be sexy if that's what they want.
That said, I don't know who she is or what show she's on. So my opinion is totally based on personal preference.
Nope, no underwear showing. I like the show she is in. She is sassy and funny in it. She is very well endowed!
ReplyDeleteWow. This girl n pic is hot. I like this take on colour blocking, but it kind of reminds me of something I did when I was a teen.
ReplyDeleteI love the show ... but NO underwear showing for me ... though she looks HOT! :)

While this photo is really intriguing, I can't think of a practical place to wear something like this.
ReplyDeleteI concur with Poet's thoughts on vintage underthings showing, but I don't like my actual underwear showing at all (although a bit of strap is okay if it's a pretty one).
ReplyDeleteI love her SOOO much!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Poet on that! She couldn't express my thoughts more accurately. Nothing wrong with the girl, but it's a picture made for men magazines only!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the show just the previews...
ReplyDeleteI don't show my underwear. I try to keep it "under".
I just love Kat Dennings. This is super sexy for her from what I've typically seen, but in Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist I just...I love her. Her character is so endearing. She's self conscious the way all high school kids are, but also confident and tough. Plus her blog is HI-LARIOUUUSSSSS
ReplyDeleteOh no! I never show any part of my underwear! Though Carrie Bradshaw would say differently! ;) I love Kat Dennings as an actress, but I am so not down for this look - I guess it appeals to a certain market, though!
