Maria Mefugnos
Maria Menounos is very pretty, taller than you'd expect, and very slim. So WHY she chose to wear this outfit is beyond me:

Aside from the fact that the pants de-emphasize the length of her legs and can be described stylistically as "avant-garde French clown," the whole outfit manages to make her look oddly and unnaturally dumpy. It's not that she looks heavy or anything -- it's just an aura. Look at it. Something just sort of seems off.
Indeed, the weird way it frumps up her figure is reminisce of those TV commercials for terrible weight-loss pills or potions, where they take a really fit woman and CGI some extra weight onto her in a totally unrealistic way where you can just tell something's wrong about it. And then they backbrush her hair so that she looks extra downtrodden, and make her cross her arms over her chest and frown and whine at the camera, "I'm out of shape. And diet alone isn't working!!!! What can I do????" Cut to her poping a pill or drinking some kind of powdered gunge, and then suddenly "two weeks later" she's not only 15 pounds thinner but completely ripped, and walking on the beach in a tiny bikini while a hot pile of male muscle laughs at whatever she just said about her asparagus diet. At which point she beams into the camera, "I feel fantastic -- and I look it, too! Thanks, Dynapoxilactiphan-Omega-10-X-Plus!"
All of which is a healthy indicator that Maria should eighty-six the pants and the poncho-sweater-throw rug.
