No-Mo here, but this dress looked like something to be worn in some kind of temple ceremony

The high neck line, long sleeves, and then the weird little apron. Very reminiscent of the temple outfit. Remove the train, jewels, and turn the apron green. She's temple ready.

She'd probably not be so poised if she knew what that dress reminded some people of. Glad the designer didn't put some weird head piece veil thing on her head.

Not white enough.

'50 Shades of Kolob'

Creepy and weird. Can't help think the designer has seen a temple ceremony and it made an impression of some kind.

It was nice to see ex-mo Amy Adams and her "anti-temple outfit" dress.

I had the very same impression of the dress. I thought it looked terrible on her and made her look 50 years old. I also thought her hairstyle was awful. It looked like she hadn't washed it in days.

It looks like a fancy evening dress from the thirties or do. Too bad she didn't match it with a hairdo from that time.

Without the weird bow, I think it would be fine and she really should have an updo; Long, full coverage dress, hair up so you don't look like everything is dragging you down. Cream is a nice colour as long as it doesn't wash you out.

I assume because she just premiered a sexually explicit film that maligns the BDSM lifestyle, she wanted to appear a bit demure. Image is very crafted in Hollywood and if you don't want to be pigeonholed into one role, you swing the other way for the red carpet.
