Match Much: The Butterfly Effect

March 22nd, 2009 at 3:57 pm . by Payal

Another Sunday at the racecourse and this time Natasha was spotted in an Alexander McQueen butterfly print dress complete with a McQueen butterfly hat fascinator. She also carried a black butterfly jewelled clutch (which I suspect is a Leiber) to complete her ‘butterfly’ look.

Wish she had skipped the clutch, because the hat butterfly fascinator was enough to make a statement.

    How could anyone take this dress and make such a mess of it. It looks so good both on the ramp and on SJP. Natasha looks like a joke.

  2. Clueless says:

    I think she should have skipped the belt and the clutch. I would wear it like SJP has.. let the dress do all the talking.

  3. kimmy says:

    Overkill! he dress itself is such a statement- why mar it with that ugly unflattering belt and gaudy accessories? Though I’m sure SJP was styled, she looks effortless. Take a cue, Natasha!

  4. k= says:

    aww such a waste of a pretty dress! she should drown her belt, clutch and bracelet. with a hat like that, you don’t need anything else! she needs to rewear that stunning hat with a black dress.. this outfit just doesnt do justice to it!

  5. PeachBellini says:

    okay, as cute as she is, she looks a bit ridiculous here. the hat has to go. it’s making her ensemble look too busy, as it is the dress has a lot going on with it.

  6. zainab says:

    SHe’s no SJP! Infact she looks like a Joke-always an overkill.

  7. annie says:

    This is the perfect example of how not to wear a dress.

  8. Kav says:

    the hat doesn’t go with the hair…the dress doesn’t go with the hat..i could go on and on….wish she had gone for a neutral shade with the hat..(i love the hat but butterflies to me are more for young girls)….her hat’s not really making an impact as it should…its the races after all..

  9. Kav says:

    oops i mean a neutral shade dress….

  10. Archana says:

    hey thats the same fascinator that princess beatrice was caught wearing last year at a royal wedding…those very same butterflies! I love fascinators and I like this one too but the dress is already busy and colourful for the fascinator to go with it.

  11. Archana says:

    plus guys, its not a hat..

  12. Payal says:

    Archana,
    You got that right. Not a hat…

  13. anon says:

    Beatrice also wore the same dress with the fascinator.

  14. Sonia99 says:

    I didn’t even know what a fascinator was..thanks Archana.. :)
    Love the dress. How much money does this woman have??!!

  15. pdaervo says:

    I LOVE the fascinator, and the dress
    seperately
    but SJP got it right, if you want to wear a statement headpeice like that, try it with a different dress
    and vice versa

  16. madhu says:

    this women must be loaded

  17. Surbhi says:

    check the bling on the hand!! wow!! but i agree.. the dress is so OTT that she doesnt require anything else really

  18. KK says:

    I agree madhu — this woman must be loaded!!
    Who is she and seriously, how can she afford this stuff??? I think the clutch and that thing on her head kills the dress.. I like it how SJP wore it. Totally over the top!

  19. PeachBellini says:

    So is that what it’s officially called, a “fascinator”? Reminds me of baby words, like bassinet and safety pins. I’d rather just call it a headpiece :)

  20. swee says:

    SJP is fab…this woman’s is drab!

  21. josie says:

    chaneling Ms.Parker ???

  22. p says:

    this women is such a victim of fashion….

  23. Lalitha says:

    SJP–YES.
    Natasha–aiyo rama!

  24. monika says:

    Did not know anybody dresses like this in real life!!

  25. mg says:

    I think the clutch is overkill but everything else looks great on her. I love the headpiece and the dress. plus she’s pregnant so it’s hard for me personally to criticise a pregnant lady with all those crazy hormones racing around.

  26. gina says:

    Is this the same runway version she is wearing?Coz i dont see red mid part of Natasha’s dress in the runway version or SJP’s one.

  27. Such says:

    She looks terrible, but she still looks better than SJP who looks like she just tumbled out of bed.

  28. Fatima says:

    here she’s wearing
    Chanel clear jelly flats
    thats if anyone really cares to know! :P

  29. a.j. says:

    i love the mad colours of the dress and the headpiece is cool too.

  30. phoenix says:

    did that thing grow on her head?

  31. k= says:

    ahh thanks archana! didn’t know that. i’m actually quite embarrassed :p

    and thanks fatima..i did think her flats were really cool. wouldn’t wear them with that dress though :s

  32. k= says:

    p&p: did u mean fascinator and not faschinator? ;)

  33. Annnmmmm says:

    what in the world is that thing on her head….nice butterflies though – would love to hang them in my kid’s room!

  34. CocoNUT says:

    love the dress so colorful, and the hat matches well ;)

  35. sony says:

    Nice dress but Natasha looks not so gud. SJP and the model look grt. I like that dress

  36. sia says:

    she looks much better in the dress than sjp but then she’s lucky as she’s got age on her side.

  37. Roni says:

    Some one please show her the route to Amazon Forest……..her outfit is better served in that environment..LOL

  38. viz says:

    love the dress !!!! not so much on her though..she has overdone it

  39. chic chick says:

    oh.my.god. should totally be a whtthey…the dress or the ehad piece alone with the rest of the look toned down would have been awesome but put both together and add some cheap gaudy looking accessories and you havee the fashion faux paux of the century…Im very disappointed in natasha!!

  40. red says:

    natasha has a knack of ruining a perfectly beautiful outfit with her hideous choice of acceseries every time.

  41. lara says:

    you cant get any worse than this, i wouldnt be stepping out like this unless i want to make a spectacle of myself!

  42. zena says:

    how can a butterfly multicolour hat match a full multi colour dress. coordination????

  43. rose says:

    I’m sorry loaded or not, money cant buy stlye.

  44. bo says:

    natasha has tried to copy the outfit of deepika on gracia, but soooo ruined the look….

  45. Jazz says:

    Hey P&P how come these posts dont come on the homepage???? I always end up reading some posts much later : Guilt reading, although there’s not one day I dont visit HHC. Like this one. People have seen this way before : March 09. And its oct 09,and Im seeing this for the first time??? How come?? Am I missing something??

  46. Jazz says:

    i meant I alwyas end up reading some posts much later VIA guilt reading.

  47. Maggie says:

    Love the dress. Don’t think SJP or Np wear it well. It looks amazing in the runway and magazine images. It looks drab on both women – perhaps you need to be 6 foot, slender and very leggy to carry it off.

    Hate the fascinator – there’s enough going on with the dress.

    Where would you be able to buy one of these dresses?
