Fashion Disaster Of The Day: Shirley MacLaine

August 3rd, 2008 // 12 Comments

Seems veteran actress Shirley MacLaine has resigned to dressing her age… sort of. That vest looks like something she picked up on clearance at C.J. Banks, which is a little endearing to me because that’s my mother’s signature style.

Those parachute pants and the sneakers make me think she’s making a half-hearted attempt at dressing younger, but it’s just not happening. If nothing else, it’s bright and bold like her personality. Maybe she had a little too much tea with her breakfast.

    Almost all of us reach a point when we decide to wear what we want instead of what someone else thinks we should. I love being comfortable and hope I can do so with as much grace and dignity as she has.

    im more intrigued by the dude or lady in the background of picture whose calves are huge. s/he’s wearing heeled wedges.

    Good for Shirley. I don’t think she really give’s a rats ass what anyone thinks and that’s really the way that it should be. She looks comfortable, crazy and to me endearing…. Love and Light to you Miss MacLaine.

    Yuck. Those are some freakish calves. And you know they belong to a woman, she is in wedges after all.

    God I love Shirley MacLaine. One of the greatest actresses ever. I’m sure I’ll be wearing similar crap at her age. She’s earned the right to wear whatever she wants.

    That’s the joy of being old. You don’t give a rat’s ass what anyone else thinks anymore. She’s the coolest. Anyone who says otherwise can suck an egg.

    Shirley had the hottest legs in Hollywood for a LONG time!

    Put HER on “Dancing with the Slags” and let’s see who’s the last broad standing!!

    Shirley rocks that outfit. What the fuck do you expect her to wear, those walmart snap mummus because now that she is old and supposedly useless and unfuckable she shouldn’t leave the house?

    Fuck you.

    Not necessarily.

    I agree that Shirley rocks – the outfit and just in general. (Besides, she’s just out doing errands!)

    Someone on another blog pointed out that she probably picked up that sweater in the Andes, since she spent some time there.

    She looks cute in that. We should all look so good at 74.
