We’re usually pretty big fans of dresses with pockets. Not only do they hold our stuff and keep our hands warm, but they can also provide a little bit of a interesting detail to an otherwise boring look.
However, Britt Robertson missed the mark with the pocketed-dress she picked for the Hollywood premiere of her new Netflix series “Girlboss.” The 27-year-old actress was lovely and radiant, but we think her outfit could have been a bit better.
Britt’s white frock from Fendi’s Spring 2017 collection featured floral appliques on the bodice and really big side pockets that were awkward and bulky. The mixture of the feminine florals with the huge, awkward pockets was a little confusing. Unfortunately, the misplaced and too-huge pockets made this dress look like an apron — not flattering at all. She completed the outfit with ‘Harmony’ velvet sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti and Meira T earrings.

These pockets are too big and bulky for the lovely white dress.
