We had a semi-rude awakening Saturday morning when we caught a glimpse of Britney’s new album cover on Jezebel.
She looks healthy and happy, sure. And maybe we can’t stop humming “Womanizer,” (though we’d attribute that more to Chuck Bass than the songstress), but the pink Rodarte dress kind of knocked the wind out of us. From Alyona on Spring 08’s Runway to Britney on the front of something called “Circus?”
We wondered:
1. Did Britney buy the dress at Barneys last spring and save it for the album cover?
2. Or, more likely, did a stylist buy the dress and give it to Britney for the album cover? Because then we’ll wonder which stylist she’s working with. Rachel Zoe works with Keira Knightly, one of the few celebs ballsy enough to wear Rodarte, but would Zoe work with Britney?
3. Are the Mulleavys secretly huge Britney fans? Which would mean, and this would rock our fashion world, that they actually loaned her the dress.
4. Does Britney know what Rodarte is? If so, will she dutifully sit front row this February?
If you have answers to any of the above, inquiring minds, (that means us), want to know.

The visible netting and the way the fabric is coming up make it look less like the fragile beautiful runway dress and more like a forever 21 prom dress.
