The look in question? This styling that she donned for the 2011 Critics’ Choice Awards — but, in case you were thinking to yourself, “That dress is nice, though!”, it’s not because of the dress.
Specifically, Emma wishes she hadn’t had gone so hard on the spray-tan side of things. “I’m from Arizona, and I don’t have any pigment in my skin, so growing up, I was really obsessed with the idea of being tan,” she said. “I thought, if you were dressing up and if you wanna look great, you should get a really, really dark spray tan.”
“My hands…look like I’m wearing gloves because [the spray tan] it’s not on my hands. I love this dress. I felt so great in it, so great that I had to get a spray tan to really enhance how great I felt.”
Emma also referenced her look at the 2011 Golden Globes as a similar example of the tan-tastrophe she was experiencing around this time. “I looked like one solid thumb, and that dress is so pretty. Why did I decide to match my skin tone to the dress?” she asked rhetorically.
Hey, it was the early 2010s. We’re all older and wiser now! Watch the entire video here.
