Fashion Is Fun

Festival of Faces

closeupdrew-barrymore-bonnaroo-music.jpg‘Tis the season of the outdoor music festival, which tends to bring about some very cool, and also some very bizarre fashion choices.

Gwyneth, the Kates (Moss and Bosworth), and Sienna have all perfected fashionably bohemian rock festival garb over the years, throwing in a pair of wellies when the weather demands, or wearing the tiniest of dresses while grooving in the desert at Coachella. Drew Barrymore, on the other hand, we’re less sure about.

Now we usually love Drew and all her fairy dust sensibilities. We’ve even lately embraced some of her colorful beauty choices. This one from Bonnaroo over the weekend (while enjoying a little Bon Iver) is not one of them.

She looks like she just finished playing dress-up with a group of five year-olds. And while we love embracing our childlike innocence as much as the next girl, this just seems to be taking it a bit too far. Really, a feather? Though we will give her credit for picking a rather lovely palette of glittery face paint to work with.

I love the feather, its the eye shadow i find more worrisome; that said i would totally do this and probably will sometime this summer.
perhaps not at a music festival, sadly. cottage bonfires with battery powered radios are similar, right?

oh and how is bonnaroo pronounced?
because every time i see it i think of polkaroo with a boner.

i disagree. i actually saw her at this show, happily drifting and rocking to Bon Iver. I thought (along with all those gawking at her around me) that she looked adorably eclectic. besides, who cares what she's has on her head? feathers ARE in...no? and people are naked at Bonnaroo covered in body paint in place of bras and no one looks twice.

let it be!

I know this is a fashion blog, but Drew looks like someone who came to enjoy the music. Not like some starlet who was concerned about being photographed while hanging out with her boyfriend and his band.

I actually think this picture is reminiscent of someone who passed out at a college party with their shoes on and got sharpied by their friends. Not an okay look, especially if you're the one willingly doing it to yourself.

#5, methinks Drew enjoyed something other than the music prior to painting her face.

In her defense, she's most likely high as an effing kite and therefore the pretty face paint is acceptable in my book! Love her.

It's so obvious that you guys are trying to rile up the readers to hate on her style. Doesn't seem to be working, huh?

She's way more interesting and accomplished than the lame-o models you guys idolize (coco rocha, etc.)

We love Drew!!!!

It's stupid. She's a try-hard. Although, it's just something you come to expect from hipsters at music festivals.

Carine was wearing this exact glitter+feather combination at one of the Resort '10 shows last week! She opted for a rosier hue above the eye and an entire headdress rather than the single feather though.
