Word has it that Selma Blair got fired from the sitcom ‘Anger Management’ because of Charlie Sheen. Do you think it’s true? Or do you think she decided to quit because working with Mr. Sheen felt like hell?

Speaking of Selma, the actress was spotted on Melrose Avenue the other day. It was hard not to notice her because she wore a catchy maxi shirt dress. We couldn’t tell if it was printed or tie-dyed, but it came in a bright orange hue and looked really easy and breezy.

Now, here’s the thing. Although the dress was pretty, somehow, it didn’t look right on her. Or maybe she just wore it wrong. Check out Selma below, and tell us what you think.

Well, what are your thoughts? Do you think she looks hot in the dress or not? Could she have worn it any better?

The dress has quarter sleeves and a high round neckline, covering one from head to toe. While that may not be bad, such a silhouette tends to make whoever is wearing it look shorter, wider, and shapeless—mainly because it also comes with a distracting print.

Selma is shorter than average and considered petite at 5ft 2 ½ (158.8 cm). She also has a “V” body shape (her shoulders are the broadest part of her body), so the sleeves and structured style of the dress didn’t flatter her. Perhaps the effect would be different for someone like Miranda Kerr. Of course, Selma could have worked around the problem by adding an accessory or two — like a belt around the waist. Would you agree?
