All long black dresses are not created equal…

It's hard to ruin a women's black evening dress, but Sigourney Weaver showed that all long black dresses are not created equal.

Long black dresses were a huge theme at the 2013 SAG Awards, but Sigourney Weaver's black evening dress was a definite dud.

How do you ruin something so seemingly foolproof as a women's black dress?

Actually, it's all as simple as proportion and fit. And 60-something Sigourney Weaver's lacked both.

The long satin dress had a boxy, unflattering fit. And the shapeless dress was made of satin which simply magnified the problem with too much drape and fabric on the bodice.

Sigourney (she's 6'0) can carry off lots of looks thanks to her height. She's frequently photographed on the red carpet in red, which looks amazing with her coloring.

The dress also suffered from side ruffles on the bodice which made her shoulders look even broader and a high-low hem with a full skirt: this black evening dress was simply too much look even for statuesque Sigourney.

Sigourney rocks no matter what she wears and who ever made that statement should be ashamed of themselve. She is an excellent actress and an unforgettable Ripley!

What a stupid headline: "...bombs in women's black evening dress". Guess it could have been worse; she could have bombed in MAN'S black evening dress, maybe?

I really think "bomb" is a poor choice of words at this time.

AWWWWWWW MY EYES 1!! WHAT AN AWFUL AWFUL DRESS ... WHAT was she thinking ??? Not only does it look like a big shiny Hefty bag, black is a terrible color on her. Sorry, no woman of 60ish should wear all black ... she shouldn't bare her arms like that either !!!

Why use the word Bomb? Boston is still suffering because of one.

I think the lady has gained considerable weight and the dress reflects the problem
