Trend I won't be trying anytime soon


Hmmm, not really sure how gold sequin pants work in any wardrobe really, even Eva Herzigova's. How can they possibly be flattering when they tick all the wrong boxes:
  • a light colour = more size
  • reflective = more size
  • little bits hanging off = extra bulk
Only girls with supermodel long, skinny legs could hope to pull this off, and as you can see, even Eva doesn't do a great job. It has partly to do with that t-shirt which looks like it came from the bottom of the wash basket and hasn't been worn for a decade. I know she was going for the "don't razzle on top when you dazzle on the bottom" rule, but this tee is so played down it's not even a basic anymore. You need something with a bit of shape to give the pants a chance. Unfortunately, teaming the pants with that tee and those gold shoes blew every chance the pants had.

What they needed, to really succeed and earn a permanent place in Eva's wardrobe, was a silky black singlet with a bubble hem (simple but shapely) and some fierce, black gladiator heels to take away from the "I should be tapdancing on stage in these" feeling.
