Jessica Chastain may be earning Oscar buzz for her performance in Miss Sloane, but her recent fashion choices have sparked mixed reactions. In December 2016, the actress stepped out in New York City wearing an outfit that, while bold, didn’t quite hit the mark for some fashion critics.

The star of “The Help” wore a black A-line dress under a large orange trench coat. We love the bright color of the coat, though it did look a little too large on her small frame. The zipper detail on her Dior dress was a nice touch.
Her wavy locks and simple makeup matched her attire well. The rose blush brought out her cheekbones, and her nude lipstick accentuated her gorgeous smile.

She finished her attire with black Salvatore Ferragamo striped suede and calfskin pumps featuring cute Gancio buckles.

While the dress, coat, and pump combination could be perfect, Jessica’s fishnet stockings shifted the look from elegant to less refined.

We understand the need to cover up in chilly weather, but we think she should have opted for nude-colored stockings. They would have better complemented Jessica’s outfit by providing a seamless, polished look.
Wearing stockings in a shade similar to her skin tone would have kept the focus on the bold orange trench coat and sleek black pumps, subtly enhancing her legs without distracting from the overall ensemble.
