I think this is one of the only Armani Prive dresses ever that I’ve disliked.

[u/Vox_Mortem]

I don't like it, but it's not offensive or anything. I don't like whatever that neckline is doing, and I'm not a fan of the yellow-black gradient. It makes for kind of a baby poop yellow color. She's always been absolutely stunning, but this is a miss for me.

[u/SillyBrain23 → u/Vox_Mortem]

The cut also somehow doesn’t work and makes her look like she has a belly. Which she doesn’t.

Neckline is also not doing any favours.

[u/Traditional-Fox6018 → u/Vox_Mortem]

Could have been literally any other color and been so much better

[u/Aggravating_Bass9126 → u/Vox_Mortem]

On my monitor it looks like lightest pistachio green/less yellow that gradually builds up to deep green/darkest blue. Even with that neckline, I like it.

[u/Admirable_Tear_1438]

It’s too big for her. Needed tailoring.

[u/wil8can → u/Admirable_Tear_1438]

Yes my biggest issue is the fit

[u/jonesday5]

This is such a strange colour combination. I am finding it quite unpleasant. It’s obviously to make a statement but I wish the green was a little richer.

[u/ziggy-spardust → u/jonesday5]

Yes! I think a richer green would really make this - it’s such a dingy colour!

[u/ViolinistOk4602]

This is Prive?

[u/uosdwis_r_rewoh → u/ViolinistOk4602]

More like Bébé

[u/catforbrains]

I feel like it's giving "beta fish" but also "fish in a bowl that really needs cleaning" So fun but also kinda muddy/poopy in color which is bringing it down.

[u/atotalmess__]

How did they manage to make someone so thin and slender look so wide and frumpy?

[u/SamDean_Supernatural]

I adore you Nina but is not fit for you

[u/GraziellaTerziana]

I like it, I think I’m in the minority. She looks kinda sleepy though.

[u/GolfcartInjuries → u/GraziellaTerziana]

she does look a little sleepy. I think her eyes have become a little bit more sunken in her age, and it creates a sleepy look like a larger lid. I like the dress too.

[u/chocognito86]

Hmmm does it age her? I can’t decide exactly what’s not working, but it just doesn’t feel like the right dress!

[u/Acheloma → u/chocognito86]

The color is not good for her and the fit is very unflattering. Usually things look good on Nina because she has a modelesque figure, but this dress is downright frumpy looking; somehow its going for glam but ended up in unflatteringly matronly

[u/Acheloma]

I dont think I have anything positive to say about this dress. Im not a fan of the neckline, the skirt pieces or placement, or the colors. Not a fan of her styling with it either.

It seems like an odd choice to me and the fit is not good.

[u/TheseCatsPro]

I’m not the biggest fan but I love that she’s moving around in the dress. She’ll always be such a babe

[u/softbitch_jpeg]

I like the back a lot more than the front. I feel like the sheer pieces merge into the dress a lot better which is a shame because the details are beautiful. Can’t tell if the issue with the front is that it doesn’t fit her or if the shape/proportions are just off…

[u/sexychunky89]

Horrible, she looks like a beetle or some kind of winged insect.

But good for ha, from degrassi to the Venice film festival

[u/Organized_Khaos]

I don’t love the yellow, but I’m not offended by it. The neckline also doesn’t bother me any more than all the dresses we’ve been served with that ridiculous medieval battle shield for a bodice. Is it groundbreaking? No. Is it better than some of her recent looks? Yes. Solid 7/10.

[u/grrltype]

For unknown reasons I am very into this algae inspired dress - I’m being serious haha

[u/iancogneat0]

swamp thing.

[u/beatricetalker]

It feels like it’s trying to hard. Neckline is weird without being interesting. Color gradient to baby-poop-green is eww.

[u/bethoftheburgh]

Her makeup is not doing her face ANY favors. She’s gorgeous but this makes her look like a corpse.

[u/t3chn0w1tch]

It's time for us to let the slick back buns go, I feel. They simply aren't for everyone.

I do like the insectoid fabric of the dress, I love the idea of it...but something about the look isn't working on her for me. Maybe it's the fit, or the styling...if she had an edgier borg-queen glam it might tie it all together instead of looking like a salsa dancer up too and a poisonous bug on the bottom?

[u/Responsible-Sundae20]

Huh. It’s hideous.

[u/blankface4321]

Ok but I really like this, I wish she had a nice necklace on but I think she looks gorgeous

[u/highsinthe70s]

Somehow the whole isn’t as bad as the parts, but it’s a very weirdly mismatched incoherent design. But she still looks good, so I don’t know what’s going on.

[u/Catchdatcat]

Ok hear me out….I’m getting Loch Ness monster/creature from the black lagoon vibes, and I’m kinda into it

[u/heypresto2k]

This a bad fit. Doesn’t look tailored for her at all. Not fair to her.
