Hot or Not: Rose Byrne's Elie Saab Couture Jumpsuit



It doesn't really matter how finely tailored it is, or how intricate its embellishments: The jumpsuit is often a fast-track to worst dressed lists, particularly when worn to high-profile industry events like the Screen Actors' Guild Awards. Rose Byrne is a brave, brave lady.

The stunning Australian actress chose to completely commit to her look at Sunday evening's awards show, pairing her elaborate ice white Elie Saab jumpsuit from the Fall 2009 couture collection with a shiny, shapely bob and gold jewels. As Michael K of Dlisted noted, "she came out looking like Elvira Hancock from Scarface after getting twisted up in a roll of bubble wrap."

But even bubble wrap has its place in fashion. Byrne's jumpsuit is clearly exquisitely crafted, and, with its structured shoulders and plunging neckline, flattering to Byrne's petite figure. Should Byrne go bold more often, or should she leave looks like these to those with more attitude?
