A little leopard goes a long way...a lot of leopard...well...

i hate leopard print. actually any animal print with a passion so this is definitely a no-no. especially not on Oscar night!

I think it would have looked better if only like the top half, or the wide part at the top was the pattern and the rest was black... but we never said every celebrity had fashion sense.

I think the minimal jewelry and hair makes this a good look. She could come off looking trashy, but she doesn't at all.

can you say "cougar power"? lol...sorry, i meant leopard....

Wow...that is horrible

I don't like the way it falls from the hips down. The detailing just doesn't work. Otherwise, it's just meh.

Love the earring's though.

I like the halter style but I'm really not a fan of animal-prints.

I really don't like the fit of this dress. And I don't think leopard print is appropriate for the Oscars!

Her hair and makeup look fine, but the dress is really bad.

I hate animal prints. Hate them. So, obviously, I don't like this look at all.

Only someone like Gwen Stefani can pull this off.

Oooh - good call, Wicked!

I swear to god, this is one of my favorites. I'm ashamed, so ashamed, but I have a weakness for the leopard print. Go for it, woman. If I had the bod and opportunity, I'd do it.

People, we've gotten so crazy critical about these women. Compared to a decade or two ago, the sophistication on the red carpet has been through the roof. I mean, we're debating whether or not Rachel W has overdone it with her necklace and if gun metal grey looks good on Cate B! But really, they all look stunning, at least overall...

i don't think it's appropriate for oscars. it'd be good for something like the grammys

This is a very trashy oscar- ew.

~~"There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it."~~

interesting look, she pulls it off, but it's not my style

I'll just say, Why?

i think its pretty! but not on an oscar night, though!

I like it, and it looks good on her, just not right for the oscars.

I LOVE IT!!!

the dress really seems to chop her up at the mid section. not the best choice. although leopard print rarely ever works.

Great dress but not for this occasion.

She pulls it off, but that's it. She could have done much better especially on Oscar night.....not VMAs Kelly!

I'm soooooo over animal print!

My 7 yr old would love this...she is in her Cheetah Girl phase. I am not quite sure what print it is, but it doesn't work for me.

haha it does look like Cheetah Girls...i think its tacky for oscars also

The make-up is beautiful! The rest is awful, awful, AWFUL!!

One word: Tacky.

UGH! Her hair and skin color seem to just blend with the leopard print and it doesn't fit her well at all. I think it looks like something she a stripper would wear!

That dress makes her lovely figure look lumpy.

I have to agree with jadeelephant and lonewolf, I don't like animal prints...they look really tacky AND I'm an animal lover so it's a no-no in my book, although I do have a little lionness in me.....rrraaawwr!

I don't like it, but not many people could wear this and not look completely trashy. At least she managed to still look classy.

this looks terrible on her...leopard print? why?

Oh god no. No. This is not good. It's in fact all kinds of bad.

This is not the Funniest pets awards.

**~~Everyone who's anyone has been on sesame street.~~**

No, no and no.
her har color looks good though.

WTF?! This is the Oscars not some cougar dinner party! Her makeup and hair looks good though

Couger dinner party! Ahh, you got me laughing kendalheart!

Yikes. Gwen Stefani could've pulled this off. But not Kelly.

She looks lumpy and in one shot she looked like she was really pregnant. Not a great look.

Its still a bad dress choice.

I don't think this dress is appropriate for the Academy Awards. This dress is also not very age appropriate for her...

Cheese It!!

Yuck! Trashy look, especially for someone her age.

Come on now...leave the animal print out of the dress and perhaps it would be nice...barf

i think she pulled it off, but just barely... way too much animal print!

It's just too much print and the fit isn't the best.

She is so beautiful, she could have done much better. Hate it.

I think her hair/skin/makeup all looks great, esp compared to the pale skin/dark red lips look on so many people. However, the spots get bigger in the places she gets bigger, like her hips, which only makes her look even bigger! Not the right optical illusion, Kelly.
