Too Old to Wear a Sheer Dress?

I hope Susan Sarandon will forgive me for this. But her recent wearing of the infamous Stella McCartney polka dot sheer dress really made a mess out of things.

I'll be the first to tell you that without fail, like 99% of the time, anyone can pull off anything regardless of age. But this sheer dress on 65-year-old Susan Sarandon may just be the 1 percent.

Let me explain.

For starters, seen on other, younger celebrities the half-sheer dress was sexy, chic and fitted. On Susan Sarandon it looks, well, not so much. She – quite inexplicably – opted to wear a very visible nude bra with this dress. And it's totally obvious.

The dress looks to be a size too big, which doesn't help matters much.

And then there are the shoes.

These look like the kind of comfort shoes women wear with grainy suntan-colored pantyhose, not with a designer dress that cost well over $1000. Not that there's anything wrong with wearing comfort shoes – it's just that if you need them, you may be past the age of wearing see-through dresses.

Susan Sarandon is a gorgeous woman who looks like she took some pretty bad styling advice. Let's hope she goes back to her great-for-her-figure dresses that feature a knotted bodice and shapely styling.
