Much has been said about Angelina Jolie’s revealing Oscar dress. So much, in fact, that her leg now has its own Twitter. But does lots of buzz about one great gam mean the outfit was actually awesome?
Personally, I think Angie looks incredibly awkward in every gallery shot here. Naturally her face and hair are stunning, but what’s with the stance? It’s as if she’s trying too hard to make us notice the obvious: yep, that’s a gigantic slit in her dress, and yep, that’s a nice leg. It’s the equivalent of when I (a big-chested girl) used to stand up unnaturally straight in high school to flaunt my goods. That game wasn’t fooling anyone, and I looked really strange!
I can’t quite tell if it’s the cut of the dress or Angie’s constant stance that makes it unappealing. But I’m suspecting that it’s the latter, and think she may have ruined a great outfit with an odd pose! [via Buzzfeed]
What do you think of Angelina’s dress?

Is that velvet? At least it can easily double as a rug or bathroom mat!
Maybe she was really warm in it and continuously needed to “air out” her legs to cool off. Otherwise it reminds me of a horse stance for some reason.
guest
@ashleynicole - Or how about a throw blanket?! I agree that she looks odd with her leg sticking out. I would have to say that the weather wasn’t very warm last night.

I thought it was tacky. She did that shit for attention. But I loved how the winners mimicked her posing. Lmao!
guest
The dress didn’t bother me but the fact that she was thinner than jack skellington put me off a bit.
guest
I like her and the dress too much to care.
This post sounds a bit… catty, no offense intended. My first reaction in my head was, someone’s jealous! >.>
guest
…that’s not even a nice leg.
guest
The dress is nice. Her stance is odd…

If it were any other material I’d love it.
@himynameisTARYN@xanga - Why?
guest
the dress was pretty… not sure about the whole let posing thing.. is it just me does her leg look fake?.. maybe it was something the designer suggested??…
But hey, her hair is gorgeous!

The dress is fine; not my style, but fine. it’s the way she’s standing that makes her look like an idiot.
guest
It’s so unusual for her to make a gaffe… of any kind.
guest
I’m sure she will be absolutely CRUSHED by the disapproval…
guest
@fungusamungus33@xanga - that’s what made me cringe the most lol…
Later on I realized she had been hitting that pose all night. What’s weirder to me is that the shape of the dress on her hips makes it look like she’s poppin out her hip like sassy bitch. I’m not saying she is one, it’s just very unlike her to “pose” like that. It’s all very “check me out bitchessssss” which I find weird for her. I’ve never been a fan, and it’s not gonna keep me up at night, lol…it’s just odd.
guest
I’m disappointed that we’re talking about her dress/leg/pose when we should actually be talking about how she needs help. Let’s stop talking about her “great” leg. She should not get any attention other than “Help her! Put her in a health center ASAP!”

the only thing that bothers me is her need to show off in it so much.
guest
She’s so pretty, but why Angie, why?
guest
Her leg’s so toned.. LOL but she has the same pose in every picture. Looks a bit unnatural to me..I just think it’s hilarious how her leg has a Twitter now and people were making jokes about it.

the dress was gorgeous but the way she stood when she was presenting was just crass.
guest
We get it, Angie, you’re beautiful. But you just look ridiculous standing like that all night. Did her PR people tell her “okay, strike this pose, we need you in the headlines”?
She just looks attention-grabbing here, as a few people said above. And am I the only one who thinks the dress kind of looks like a velvet trash bag?
guest
And then this is what happens… http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/213850682275863417_ZUq1mGd4_f.jpg
guest
that’s the ultra hideous version of the jessica rabbit dress. that’s the paris hilton “psha! bite me hard, bitches” pose
guest
i think it’s just the pose.
guest
It’s the pose…and the velvet. The dress itself isn’t too awful, though.
guest
@fungusamungus33@xanga - @Kitzress@xanga -
Thank you! Especially when presenting on camera, she looked so unhealthy. Who cares if her leg was sticking out.
guest
I’m sorry but I don’t like it. Her awkward pose makes her seem even she does not like it either.
guest
whats wrong with her leg?
guest
Her awkward pose, material and cut of the dress make me think she’s trying to hide a baby bump. That’s just my opinion though… I know… it’s crazy sounding.
guest
@millionofstars@xanga - agreed.
I was not a fan.
guest
hahaha I agree, its like you can just imagine how weird that stance would look without the dress on – she’s just awkwardly sticking her leg out there hahaha

It’s a dress with a slit on it, usually you’re supposed to pose in ways that it can show the leg because that’s the purpose of the dress, show some leg. The dress is quite lovely, this is actually few of the times I’ve seen any celebrity dress elegantly. Having so much money and they get ugly or weird dresses? No thanks!
guest
She definitely did not wear that gown, it simply swallowed her (minus the leg). I think she may have tried too hard to emphasize the slit. . . Maybe next time, Miss Jolie!!

I think the way the dress is structured makes Angelina’s pose look awkward. In most of the pictures, it seems like she’s doing almost a lunge in order to really accentuate her leg, but as you can see from the second picture, her legs aren’t really all that far apart from one another. The fabric is just draped so that there’s more volume around the hip so that it looks like she’s really bending forward/sticking her leg out. You just can’t see the draping that well because of the dark material. Stop hatin’, she’s gorgeous!
guest
I’m sure she cares what you, a writer for a site that hardly anyone in the world has ever heard of, think of her outfit.
guest
Angie- sweetheart- we love you… even with that ugly dress.
Will you please make Brad cut his hair? Thank you!
guest
i’m biased because i really dislike her, but even when i try to forget that, i think she looks silly.
guest
lololol this makes me laugh
it’s like she’s trying to be a parody of herself

I’m Angie’s #1 fan but I agree, that stance is awkward. It does look like she’s purposely trying to stick it out and show it off…it may be the cut of the dress contributing to it, but I think she could’ve done without the pop and pivot and still looked amazing.

The dress is classy, but she didn’t wear it properly.
guest
I don’t think she looks too thin, nor do I think the dress is ugly. The pose is ugly, but for all we know…she was doing it to be funny. All in all Angelina is a good actress, but an even better humanitarian. So, personally I couldn’t care less about what she looks like.
guest
I think the issue was her insistence on ONLY posing that way.

I really liked it
guest
If it wasn’t velvet, I would like it. The cut is good for her body. I’m not liking the stance either. I see why she is doing it, to show that the slit is so high, but in every photo? Not necessary.
guest
I really like the dress, but she was definitely trying too hard to stick her leg out in like every photo. My leg hurts just looking at it.

I think it’s just that she has to contort her body a weird way to get that particular leg sticking out entirely. That said, her leg is TOO BONY for me. It reminds me of a chickenleg, already consumed of the meat and stripped to the bone. YUM.
guest
I enjoy her looks to much. She’s my #1 girl crush. I can’t fathom myself saying anything negative about how she looks right now LOL
guest
She’s Angelina Jolie….She can do whatever the fuck she wants. She just does it to laugh about it later when people get their panties in a twist over something so stupid as to how someone stands. She seemed like she was drunk the entire time anyway.
guest
I think she looks great. I think what people don’t like is that she clearly knew she looked great.
guest
She’s dumb. She is trying WAY too hard with that pose.
guest
Oh and I can maybe understand posing that way for the cameras but to stand like that in front of the mic… COME ON! Over it. Over her.
guest
She looks incredibly stilted in those photos. As for her leg, if it poked out while she was walking, yeah, I can understand that, but for her to constantly show it off like that is just ridiculous.
guest
I didn’t think it was even a big deal until everyone started shoving it in my face. Then, when I realized just how many pictures there are of her posing like that, it dawned on me… this needed to be shoved in my face. It needs to be shoved in everyone’s face. Everyone needs to realize that Angelina Jolie posed weird a lot at the Oscar’s. She was like, “BEHOLD!!!” *LEG* and not enough of us beheld. What she needed was to be chanting, “Angelina Jolie, Angelina Jolie, ANGELINA JOLIE!” the entire time, then maybe enough of us would be talking about it. But as of right now, not enough of us are recognizing how important this is. Angelina Jolie’s leg, people. God fucking damn it, Angelina Jolie’s leg. ANGELINA JOLIE’S LEG! Why are there still people not thinking about it? ANGELINA JOLIE’S LEG!!! *sigh*
guest
Yeah.. Not fond of the dress…
guest
I sure am enjoying the hell out of the Angelina’s-leg-tumblr-lols though.
