Once upon a time.... award nights were exciting and we clammered to watch the beautiful dresses, the gorgeous fabric (some people who were good at sewing, would try and create the dress for themselves) gorgeous hairstyles, sparkling jewellery, perfect make-up and the posh, unreal fairytale atmosphere.... now, I rent a movie if there's going to be award night on TV, as I can't stand the hideous crap they stagger out in...looking like death warmed up and bits we really don't want to see, hanging out of holes and gaps!!! Hollywood has gone down the drain and it is dragging style and glamour with it!!!😢😢😢😢

I like the Angelina dress, but always thought that sticking her leg out of the slit in every picture took away from the class and elegance of it. The pose is exaggerated and deliberate; it took a perfectly effortless look and made it try too hard, IMHO.

Agree!

[@michanone]

Absolutely. The pose got annoying.

[@oneminuteofmyday]

Have you seen the meme that has her leg copied and flipped so it looks like she has both legs stuck out like that? It’s perfection. lol

[@heronumber009]

@JF-up9jn While yes the dress look beautiful without the leg pose, HOWEVER the leg pose is for the drama/shock value (and the right amount of it). And it's a great thing. Many people love it, many people hate it. BUT people will talk about it and remember it. There are tons of other elegant dress, but after we are like "it's beautiful", we will unlikely remember them. BUT people still remember that moment of Angelina dress with that dramatic leg pose.

Great selection. Have to say the worst 1,2,3 looks are incomprehensible. Lady Di's revenge dress is still a knockout today. What I remember from that period is that she finally dropped the 80s looks & however styled her new sophisticated (almost french) look was a genius. It screams confidence.

Billie Eilish should've given the money spent on her dress to charity and worn a duvet for comfort. I admire your positive help Beebs but nothing would've made that dress look better. The #4 and #5 bad dresses look appropriate for the "best porn actress" awards.

[@gremlin5622]

People choose to forget that Diana held her "pity me" interview without protecting her children. She "shyly" confessed her multiple affairs (omit the marriage she broke up) BUT blamed others for her behaviour. William was at boarding school and became aware of it only when his fellow students did. Imagine their gossiping and side glances. Imagine his pain and discomfort. Then she flounced off in her FU dress and the press and other women/mums! praised her for it. It's nasty stuff. I see that Diana in H's manoeuvers.

[@lva9821]

@keithgiblin2636 I was around in the 80s and her earlier outfits were awful, dowdy etc. Her style improved over time as she found her look.

[@jill2871]

Fun Fact. I remember reading that the designer was commissioned and delivered The Revenge Dress a full year and a half before it’s debut so it appears that Diana was waiting for the most opportune time to unveil her little black dress. 🙂

[@TheSuefriend]

In my opinion her timing was perfect!

[@rt66vintage16]

Diana was hitting the gym during this time, and she was proud of the results. The Revenge Dress looks great!

[@dominaevillae28]

No, it wasn’t. Charles entered the marriage honestly (we barely know each other but from what I’ve seen, we have enough to build on), Diana did not. Diana misrepresented who she was to Charles (I love all the stuff you love! and though we barely know each other I feel only the very deepest love for you!), and her family hid their knowledge of her instability. Charles’ romantic relationship with Camilla was over and he was ready to build a relationship with Diana, only to marry her and find out on the honeymoon that she was not the person he thought she was. Mountbatten’s “play the field advice” was not helpful to Charles. By the time he was 30, he was getting pressure from all quarters to marry and did not take the time to really get to know Diana; they only met about 15 times before the engagement. Charles didn’t get the opportunity to see that Diana actually hated all his interests and had some significant mental health issues. Diana would have had a more difficult time keeping up the facade over 2-3 years. Maybe a few of her bunny-boiling tendencies would have made their way to the media given more time.

[@eliseintheattic9697]

I used to work for a jewelry designer and for the most part he had a great sense of style. From time to time he would get all excited and come out to the floor to show us something new and exciting. He'd say "You have to see this, it's great, no one has ever done this before" and he'd show us some really weird combo that made no sense. We'd all look at each other as if to say "there's a reason no one has done that before". We never told him. He was so excited, we didn't want to burst his bubble. I feel like that's what happened with the "avant garde" dress. Someone should have told him. Or at least told her. What a travesty.

Hi Beebs sending my love from 🇿🇦 I love these fashion conversations thank you very much About Diana’s so called revenge dress personally I hope she was sending a message to herself rather than to the then Prince Charles because I believe he knew exactly what he was missing and wasn’t bothered one bit For me he and the current queen have proven that true love is real ❤

[@terryKessler42719]

I don’t agree about Angelina. She would have looked so much better if she hadn’t stuck her pale, white leg out through the slit in the dress. The dress itself didn’t need that.

[@oneminuteofmyday]

I remember the newscasters making fun of her for that after the awards were over. Others now pose like that when wearing similar dress slits and they look just as bad.

[@cathyrowe594]

I agree. Just the ankle out to show off the pretty shoe was all that was needed.

Love this black dress video!🖤 I choose Audrey Hepburn as the LBD legend. The dress in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sabrina, and there are more to talk about! Yeah those are costumes for movies　so it might be different category, but actually Audrey was choosing her own costume quite often. She understood her body type and knew what to wear. Hope you would give a chance to one of her style if you make next black dress video🥰

I recall that the Revenge Dress was actually a long dress, and the designer and she decided to shorten it in response to Charles's interview. She definitely rocked it!

[@lisakaz35]

I looked at the "revenge dress" as a declaration of independence. Diana could never wear a dress like that as a Royal. Too revealing on the leg as well as shoulders (though obviously not tasteless). It looked mature (versus early royal fashion choices especially). I don't doubt it was appropriate for the occasion but had just enough edge or non-royalness to be a statement that she's her own woman and looks good as it.

[@mimib95]

Great video again. I also thought that Julia Robert’s vintage Valentino Oscar dress was a big fashion win.

[@mimiwhite1963]

The most iconic for me was Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. You would still look stylish if you wore that today. But I agree Julia's dress deserved mentioned.

[@jessk7240]

So many thoughts re the Diana 'revenge' dress! She looks fabulous, as she always did. Extra fabulous. And I hope it made her feel great that night. It was certainly a grab for the headlines - a reminder to Charles that she could always get the attention no matter what he was doing. Also of course a kind of 'look what you're missing' kind of dress. But at the same time, sad, to me - because yes you're so beautiful and you can wear a fabulous dress but it isn't those things that make someone in love with you or make your marriage work.

[@LisaAntonelli-bz7ly]

Sorry Beebs, but I have to disagree with you on Zendaya's mermaid dress. The neckline is too low. It looks like it's about to fall off and tan lines are visible. Her eye makeup is too harsh. She usually looks absolutely amazing, for me this was not one of her best looks. On the other hand, the strapless ball gown is gorgeous! I do agree that the look is a little "old" for her, but I think that's due to the bouffant hair, and not the dress itself which is giving me Audrey Hepburn vibes.

[@D1331D]

Diana's was stunning in that dress. I think it was a statement of freedom. Angelina, Catherine and Zendaya are on par with Diana ❤

Simply Breathtakingly Beautiful - describes how both Princess Diana and Princess Catherine look while walking along or in a still photo - both equally wonderful looks. Both of them just glide along with such grace nothing faults their presence whatsoever in my view or observations. Both of them are absolutely fashion icons of the times. Who wouldn’t want to have such elegance and grace as that. With some other styles in a black dress on some other peoole, i just leave it at the question mark - ? Why? What? How? did anyone dream up an outfit like that. Costume party maybe? 😂

[@maryk3458]

I was alive when all this drama was going on in the RF. Chas was doing the Demby interview when Diana was wearing the Revenge Dress. Charles was hanging around with Mrs. CPB who was a bit matronly in comparison to the glamourous Diana. Accordingto those who knew her, it was totally meant to say, How can you leave the beautify Di for this older matronly girlfriend? I sometimes wonder whether Diana knew that she was praised for her appearnce, not her mind or charcter.

[@judywright4241]

I remember the side by side of the interview with Charles admitting to cheating on his wife and then the picture of Diana in ‘that’ dress plus high, high heels, that she had avoided due to hubby’s hurty feelings over her height. She looked breathtaking AND happy, it was a definite win for her.💕

[@mimiwhite1963]

Those were high for the day but i consider 5" heels going into the high high range. Regardless she was breathtakingly beautiful

[@esterbengoa6077]

I hate the dress. It made her look cheap, no classy. If it wasn't because she wore it when she did...

[@Beruthiel45]

The dress was a knockout alright but my reaction was that she looked very downmarket and was trying way too hard. Shock value rather than admiration. It's rather annoying when people are put on pedestals and deemed beyond reproach. Diana had excellent qualities but also faults, she was a human being like everyone else and not some goddess. I liked her but I didn't idolize her. I admired her more for touching a sick person in hospital rather than for how much trouble she took getting tarted up.

[@lva9821]

[@astayathome]

Regarding the Revenge Dress which was worn by Diana, Princess of Wales - I remember this time well. It was a stressful time for the Royal Family. Everyone seemed to be upsetting the apple cart and airing their dirty linens in public, with divorce and difficulty everywhere. The shimmer of the Royal Family had been dimmed a bit during this time, but certainly not for the first time (Duke of Windsor scandal). I think of this iconic dress as a symbol of liberation and new beginnings for Diana. Which makes her untimely death a few short years later, all the more tragic. Diana also wore red nail polish on her manicured hands - no ladies in the Royal Family were permitted to have longer nails or nails other than nude. But the Princess of Wales was leaving behind the old rules of royalty for a new life. Diana had also always been a nail-biter, so I felt that the new nails were also symbolic of conquering outdated habits and her body was now healthy and strong. That and her body language showed her new-found confidence in herself and in her abilities. (I don’t actually like this dress) but it certainly caused a stir, and reminded everyone what the Prince of Wales had given-up. In hindsight, I think that the Prince of Wales had simply chosen to be with the love of his life. Many things can be said about this timeframe and about the behaviour of the participants in this real-life drama, but no one can now doubt the love that the King has for the Queen.

About the ugly dresses: I kept thinking "Nothing can top this!", but nooo, there was something worse yet again! Angelina Jolie's dress: IMO, it was ruined by the absurd look-at-my-leg pose. That's all I can see. I liked the first Vandea (? never heard of her) dress. The other dress had that dropped strap/band/sleeve around the upper arm that looks like it would constrict movement and that I dislike on _any_ dress, even Catherine's. Finally, about Tilda Swinton's first dress: I agree with Beebs that she can get away with it, except for the one-sleeve business which is another one of my bugbears. No sleeves, or two sleeves: pick one, please!

Word.

@@keithgiblin2636 She could have done that with a better dress

It’s the rights!! I dislike black low denier tights…. No matter who wears them they will always look a little bit trashy

[@cathyblackhall5237]

I disagree about the black tights, I think they look far more elegant and sexy than bare,usually orange legs..

[@Miaow610]

Love this video, yes I want to see more! 🖤 still on a mission to find THE perfect LBD for my body that would work for lots of occasions P.s. I really like how you switch between worst and best looks throughout the video

[@susanjennings7709]

Thank you Beebs, loving the black dress series, keep it coming - as with all you do so well!

[@marblehead2500]

I love both Zendaya black dresses! Thé full skirted one is gorgeous and classic and I love the pockets. The fishtail is slightly more perfect for her.

[@esterbengoa6077]

Don't be sad to critique people's dresses. Women, thin, fat or curvy, could be dressed horribly.You saying you don't want to "body shame" focus on you mentioning the size. Don't worry about being misinterpreted, we follow you because you are FAIR. Do not change, please ❤❤

[@Rando15]

Although Diana's dress is famous, l didn't like it. It came after her admitting adultery on national television. I thought the look was too much for the occasion. All of the terrible dresses are really bad. I love your kindness when critiquing outfits.

[@missives3894]

"Notice.. No tail." omg you got me laughing out loud there

[@r.j.powers381]

I'm not sure how I ended up here or why your video is recommended to me. That stated I did give this a go. Not knowing zip about fashion this was interesting. Also you talk about the 5 worst dresses but you offer suggestions as to how the look could have been softened. Also, and this is phenomenally important, you did not attack the women but the choice of dress or its shape or cut. It is refreshing to hear a woman of fashion support and care for other women even if the look didn't quite work. This is the kind of support teenagers need to hear and see. I wish you must success in the future. I may pop in to check out other videos in the future. Kudos.💐💐💐💐

[@BeebsKelley]

Thank you 💛💛

[@annatjiekruger77]

I think Diana did with this dress that every woman will do when things is going haywire around you. Put on a dress that will make the world say wow, you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

[@sharonalbanese8084]

Another really interesting video, thanks Beebs ❤. Gosh some of those worst dresses are really......hideous! That last one looks like they ran out of time and only got halfway through making it! Catherine, of course, is always a shining star 🌟 🤩

[@jillsirignano5025]

Would love to see more black dresses ❤

[@jswjanjan]

When I was young I wanted to open a specialty boutique called LBD with only black dresses and accesories.❤😊

[@mimiwhite1963]

I like the black dress looks. ZENDAYA always looks gorgeous but I do like your number 1 choice best.

[@florenciabalori3625]

I absolutely LOOOOOVE the POW's gown. It was so refreshing to see her in (what to me look like) such "matronly" dress. She looked like a million diamonds tiara and yet it was achieved, like you said, with simplicity and editing. Simply perfection.

Charles’ interview was a mistake, but after reading The Real Diana, I can see how he got there-Diana just played the game better. Diana was sure that she would marry Prince Andrew when she grew up. Her family took to calling her Dutch because they were also sure she would marry Andrew and become a Duchess. Once Diana realized that she could actually catch Charles, the chase was on and facilitated by her family. Diana feigned interest in Charles’ interests and hobbies (Balmoral, fishing hunting, etc.)-basically, she pretended to be who Camilla is, a hunting, shooting, fishing, reading country girl. Then as soon as they were on their honeymoon (most of which was at Balmoral), Diana declared each of his interests as borrrring. When the honeymoon moved on to Balmoral she would have have fits of screaming and crying when he wouldn’t do what she wanted when she wanted him to do it (the court was at Balmoral for the summer so there was official business going on and many witnesses). After the honeymoon she proceeded to, one by one, separate him from his friends (he would give in to avoid conflict with her), then his staff (who would quit because she would not look at or speak to those she wanted to leave. In her mind, she loved him, but then attempted to change everything about him, and if he wanted any kind of peace, he would comply. Diana and her family, particularly the Spencers, were very ambitious and misrepresented who she was to the RF, particularly regarding her emotional health & stability. The Spencer’s actually had a bit of a reputation for unstable men (Diana’s mom cited abuse in the divorce), but the RF didn’t think the mental issues affect the Spencer women. Diana actually refused to cooperate with mental health professionals provided by the RF when they realized how unstable she was, and wouldn’t accept mental health help for years (yes, the RF tried to get her professional help) until a friend threatened to out her bulimia to the press because she was afraid it would kill her. And that is just how she treated Charles. As a grown woman she held hostility towards her mother for leaving her abusive father (she took Diana & her brother with her but lost custody), pushed her stepmother down the stairs (long after Diana married btw), threw her stepmother’s things out the window in trash bags after her father died, fired one staff for claiming expenses with the palace for some trips with Diana (completely legitimate expenses), and the staff who was the currier who delivered tapes to Andrew Morten for her for accepting reimbursement from the publishing company. The virginal “Shy Di” persona was completely a creation of a press. A bit like the common impression that the Queen Mother “sweet ol’granny.”

[@mrsterious5845]

The family misrepresented her reminds me of Jane Eyre and the wife in the attic. It's a shame people choosing ambition over what is best for the individual. That route rarely leads to happiness.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I think a lot of what you said is true..although I think she was a bit of a shy Di at 19, she also wanted to marry Charles and be royalty, for sure... and although she bragged she "brought good looks to the family" (bit of an insult there, as the Queen herself was a beauty), I think Diana also brought poor mental health to the family (as very evident in Harry).... thank God William got mums good looks and the Queen/daddy's brains... and married such a grounded, intelligent and stunning woman as Catherine, to give us all hope for a more sound royal family in the future.

[@charmaccents6278]

Queen Elizabeth was stunning when she was younger! @@lynettefinnigan9540

[@greatworld8230]

​@@lynettefinnigan9540Prince Philip was a stunner. One of the most handsome men of his time, so for Di to say she brought good looks into the family is an insult, even William couldn't match Prince Philip in the looks department.

[@deneentorkelson5705]

Diana’s “ revenge “ dress has always been interpreted by me as “ Look what you are missing, and I’m not missing you!”

[@MiksaMeeks]

CoCo Chanel once gave her most sage advice for wearing accessories and knowing how much to wear. She said that as you're walking out the front door look in the hallway mirror and take off one piece off. Just one. If that's how CoCo rolled then who am I to question? Her advice has served me well.

[@marciacahoon3512]

I loved this black dress iconic vs. fails video! Would love if you would do more for us to enjoy!. It's nice to see and hear your comments about what makes them stellar and what makes them a fail. maybe a list of the top 20 iconic vs. fails.... Thanks! I always enjoy your critiques and tips. it would be nice for tips for us more mature women with maybe short legs, smaller busts and not as young and slender legs. siiigh!!! haha!

[@crystalheart9]

Those first three dresses I said trash bag before you said it. 10:57 My eyes don't know where to go! Great video Beebs.

Yep I've always thought the black dress looked like the hem rode up.

More please. You know your stuff! Loved this video❤❤❤

#3 just hideous and she looked so depressed; #2 totally cheap looking. Definitely more of these...and love your red outfit

Love the iconic dresses best and worst! Would love to see you feature the Blake Lively green/gold dress from the Met Gala.
