Fox's not-so-foxy transformation
by Jean Marie Tan

Jennifer’s Body?

It’s more like Megan Fox’s body that everyone’s been talking about.

Especially after the sultry 23-year-old actress stunned the world back in June while taking Transformer: Revenge Of The Fallen overseas in jaw-dropping, slit-up-to-there gowns of every hue from Donna Karan, Roberto Cavalli and Kaufman Franco.

It was an impressive start for a red carpet novice.

So I was expecting much more from her promotional tour of horror flick Jennifer’s Body, since she’s moved on from supporting starlet to lead actress.

In it, she plays a demon-possessed, flesh-eating cheerleader intent on seducing and killing all the teenage boys in her high school – sometimes while in a state of undress.

Unfortunately, Fox’s red carpet reign has come to a screeching halt.

She’s still beautiful, leggy and oozing sex appeal from every pore, but there’s something disturbingly trampy about every look.

Talk about a transformation – for the worse.

1 Yes, it’s a Valentino cocktail dress and Christian
Louboutin ankle-strap heels. But how on earth
does Fox manage to cheapen such high-end
labels?
At the Toronto International Film Festival
premiere of Jennifer’s Body, she appropriately
flashed a lot of skin.
But nothing ruins a fabulous black
2 A day later at the movie’s press conference, an
unnaturally pale Fox trotted out her worst look
ever.
The frightful Morticia Addams-esque gothic
styling just doesn’t go with the surprisingly modest
origami-cut Zac Posen black plaid dress with puff
sleeves, cowl neck and ruffled asymmetrical hem
– or the tan Brian Atwood pumps.
But those unnecessary nude mesh stockings
really take the cake.
3 This woman has never worn anything that
leaves people feeling merely lukewarm – but
there’s a first for everything.
At the Comic-Con party for the movie in San
Diego, Fox tries to vamp it up in a ho-hum black
cutout Emporio Armani sheath dress and overly
harsh dark plum lips.
I’m sure she’ll set more pulses racing as the
new face and body of Emporio Armani Underwear.
4 Just because you’re starring in a horror movie
doesn’t mean you have to wear black all the
time.
Fox finally breaks out of her emo monochrome
palette at a Hot Topic fan event in Hollywood,
donning a flirty dusty rose Antonio Berardi Fall
2009 strapless mini-dress with a ruffle cascading
down the hip with her hair girlishly tousled to one
side.
I just don’t get why she would match it with
clashing gold animal-print Brian Atwood peep-toe
pumps.
