Yay or Nay? Hilary Swank's Red Carpet Style

In theory, Hilary Swank's outfit at the premiere of New Year's Eve has everything that I love. She's elegant in a jewel tone shade and sophisticated with just the right amount of sheer and sequins. That being said, there is something holding me back from really loving this look.

I think it's the weird choice of sleeve. Tell me I'm not the only one who notices the bat wings? A loosely tied together bow at the waist over a sheer overlay, is not the best look. There is way too much fabric on her very athletic and slim frame. I really hate this because cut a different way, or even styled differently, this would be totally chic!
However, I do need to give a shout out to Hilary's hair and make up team- girl looks beautiful! I read some complaints on her shoe choice, but here I diverge, I actually really like them. They're interesting enough to make a statement but don't take away from the dress.
What do you think- are the bat wings blinding your judgement too? Is this a yay or nay?

![]() | I agree. The hair and makeup are gorgeous but the outfit is definitely a NAY. Not a good look for her or really for anyone in my opinion. |

![]() | This one is a YAY!! This type of dress sort of fits her style and body. Surprisingly enough, i think it suits her |
![]() | I'm a hesistant YAY. I like it. You're correct about the sleeves being a bit much, I don't mind it. She is completely able to pull it off. She looks gorgeous! :) |
![]() | Yay for me. Her dress reminds me of a beautiful starry night. Mind you, I don't think I can pull off what she's wearing but she looks great. |
![]() | I'd try it to see how it looks on me... but for her, she looks good! The sleeves don't bother me too much. |

Nay, the dress would look a lot more chic on her if the cutting of it wasn't so simple. |
