Sarah Michelle Gellar

How do you know when you’ve chosen your couture badly ?

For the teeny-tiny Sarah Michelle Gellar, it’s when you’re sporting clavicles so pronounced gymnasts could balance on them, but because of your blobby, oddly belted dress, people start to wonder whether there might be a Freddie Prinze III on the way.

This subdued-to-the-point-of-catatonic Vera Wang column, with its shoulder accoutrements seemingly made from old hair nets, might have been fab on a more mature actress, but on the erstwhile "Buffy" star, it’s merely drab, the kind of thing the vampire slayer might wear to her 40th class reunion at Sunnydale High. Gellar, who remains steadfast in her belief that she looks better as a brunette, accessorizes her humdrum dress with an equally unexciting expression, which is understandable giving the critical clobbering her flick, "Southland Tales," took at the festival.
