Izabel Goulart At The Brazil Foundation Gala: Love It Or Leave It? (PHOTOS, POLL)

It's hard for supermodels to look bad. With perfect skin, hair and figures, models can only be marred by truly bad fashion choices, reminding us that they, too, are human.

It's with that in mind that we examined these pictures of Victoria's Secret model Izabel Goulart, who attended last night's Valentino-sponsored Brazil Foundation Annual IX Gala in New York.

Posing along with fellow Brazilian models Alessandra Ambrosio and Isabeli Fontana (remember her?), Izabel wore a white, semi-sheer, ruffled dress with bell sleeves and lots of frilly edges.

Ambrosio also chose a slightly odd look, wearing a pale brown dress with a giant ball gown skirt. But Goulart's was by far the stranger pick, unfortunately reminding us of this -- but, y'know, backless.

Can even a gorgeous girl pull off an ugly dress? Hey, if Kate Moss can rock double denim, maybe anything is possible...

See below and let us know.

Just two observations - 1) the dress has a very Spanish look about it, which partially explains it, and 2) When you're young is the time to rock this stuff, 'cause when you're my age, it's too damned late! I think she looks fabulous, even while agreeing with the "pose her with Fabio" 'bodice-ripper' comment. Why not? So much designer couture makes women look like badly bagged groceries, and this at least has the romantic - well, ok, bodice-ripper - look, and it certainly compliments her looks. Good for her!

Pose her with Fabio and you have the cover of a bodice-ripper.

Her hand is bigger than her abdomen. That just makes it gross.

I have a question for the ladies. I'm not trying to be sexist or anything like that. So let me qualify my question. First, I think she is beautiful. I think most women are beautiful. But, I have always been curious WHY every woman wants to be displayed naked on the pages of a centerfold, the web or any other media. Yes, I know some men have giant EGOS and want to show off also. But, the majority of men want to keep their clothes on in public. Women on the other hand seem like they all want to be on display in the raw. Yet, they are the first to complain when a guy looks to long. Am I right or wrong? Do women have an obsession with their own bodies or is it a way to over come an inferiority complex so they put themselves out their to attain a sense of self worth? I like it. But was just wondering. Don't get mad at me for asking.

I think Danica Patrick would be the perfect female to answer those questions for you because she seems to feel the need to make up for her lack of confidence in her driving abilities so much that she needs to strip down and pose on the hoods of cars. Personally, I don't feel the need to get naked because I love clothes ... I'd better for all the money I spend on them

I could never get mad at such a well written post!! And I know some other women that do complain...life's too short for complaining IMO :)
I don't know the whole answer either, the self worth thing might be part of it?
A lot of us want to be noticed I think...there's nothing worse than that feeling of being invisible...

Oh my goodness! Are you people serious? What body? What figure? She clearly is anorexic. All I see is a bone with a dress and a pretty photoshopped/air-brushed face. She looks to be suffering from an eating disorder. No wonder why young girls have such increasing cases of body dysmorphic disorder since it is images like these that are paraded in the media that blatantly support unhealthy, anorexic, malnourished appearing women. Looking at her body, stature, and hands, I would even venture to suggest that she have some chromosomal karyotyping done, looks like a textbook case of androgen insensitivity syndrome. It is so unfortunate that images like this are praised. So unfortunate...

You do realize that men are going to think of us as "jealous" because we don't agree with what she's wearing. I wish there was a way to be constructively critical without being labeled as jealous. I agree with you by the way

It looks like she put her bedsheets thru a paper shredder? But she does have a very pretty face and figure.

Beautiful woman... Not fond of the dress, but she still rocks the look. My first thought was, "Ok, so the dress isn't that bad for something made out of toilet paper."
