Cosmo Names Maria Arena Bell Among Seven Worst Dressed "Celebs" of The Week



Kids, I couldn't make this up even if I wanted to! Cosmopolitan has come out laptop keyboards blazing against The Young and the Restless showrunner Maria Arena Bell's fashion sense. The magazine listed Bell as one of "The 7 Worst Dressed Celebs of the Week." Cosmo cracked on Bell's attire at The Museum of Contemporary Art Gala, saying:

We can't believe Christmas decorations are already on sale and it's not even Thanksgiving yet.

Maybe this is a sign MAB should be spending more time at  the Y&R studios and less time striking poses on red carpets?

AMAZING ... I'm laughing so hard over this. The former fashion consultant named as one of the worst dressed celebs. AWESOME!

Now if just only someone would tell her that not only her fashion taste is horrible, but that she also makes an awful show - would be brilliant.

MAB probably will think, "OMG, I made Cosmo! I am such a star!" No publicity is bad publicity.

Usually I refrain from criticising others appearances. Today I will make an exception. Ouch!... Innocent

Oh she should just quit writing already and get on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and get payed for doing nothing but talking shit. For her it's no difference to what she's doing now ... and she would make a lot of soap fans happy with that.

MAB's fashion sensibilities are least of her problems! And given her reputation to go against the masses I expect her to go out and buy that same dress in green, blue and yellow.

WORST WRITER in daytime and WORST DRESSED!!!!Her fashion sense is a DIRECT reflection of her overall poor judgment and poor taste!! No vision! No long-term notion of how to tell decent stories!! No reason for CBS/Sony to keep her around! Off with her head!! Grade

Amen alstonboy!

And Jillian, you closed on this article perfectly. Less time on red carpets, more time writing and on the durn set of your show, Maria!

LAMO...her dress looks like a skirt for under your Christmas tree. Now add some green jewelry and silver bells to her awful pumps the Christmas decor is complete!!!

I'd let her pass if this was a Wizard of Oz Fan Event, but I am going to have to cosign with Alstonboy on this

No lie!

Your fashion choices say a lot about who you are, and this is screaming, "Tacky, no-class, attention-craving fashion victim."

That outfit could have been salvaged, but the hair, the shoes, the sleeves, and the fit sent it over the edge.

You know the funny thing about her outfit is, despite the fact it is ALL kinds of wrong & does NOTHING for her figure, is that it is SO very similar to one of Rodarte's Fall/Winter 11 runway outfits. I know this cause I blogged on it last week. LOL! And I actually like the Rodarte version. Anyways... bless her heart. She should just stay home & work on her day job.... her soap. If she has all this time to devote to party/socialite life, then she should sure as heck should have time to devote to fixing her characters & her sloppy TCM/Law & Order rip-off writing! But seriously... it should come as no shock seeing as how she dresses is a direct reflection of how terrible her show is.... just sayin.

The way she looks in this outfit is how her ideas for the show come across onscreen.

AlstonBoy, I see even Cosmopolitan magazine agrees about MAB being a really poor dresser. Voted one of worse 7 of the week, and should have been of the year. Her wardrobe matches her writing skills.

Look in the mirror before you leave your house! Lord, she can't even do THAT right!

Well the writer didn't need to write for this article because the photo speaks volumes by itself. Unfortunately, soap fans can handle bad taste in fashion. But we almost universally dislike poor writing.

Wow, there are six others that dress like this?

Doesn't surprise me, she seems to be as clueless about her wardrobe as she is her own industry. The way she treasures & goes after these old-time sitcom stars, and out of work soap actors from other soaps, has to be the butt of many jokes.

How hard is it to score a former idol contestant (who lost) for your show? LOL - a dime a dozen yet MAB keeps thinking she got a bargain. Former soap actors aren't in demand either. Why does she think she's getting such a good deal? There aren't any other bidders because viewers aren't demanding them so why does she think Y&R viewers want them? SOAP 101 ... Viewers want to see the characters they have followed for years/decades who are played by a veterans of that soap, not newbies!

I am no fashionista, I never proclaimed to be, but I would not be caught dead in that get up she is wearing in that picture.

She's not a bad looking woman--though that distance is really the right one for her, any closer and things start to fall apart--but literally EVERY element of her styling in that photo is wrong wrong wrong.

Hair: Awful extensions and way too long for a woman of her age.
Makeup: Clowny.
Dress: LOLLLLLL Where to begin? It's horrible.
Shoes: Tacky.

We should start a campaign and send Maria, those cheap plastic Christmas bulbs with all the characters name painted on them that doesn't get storylines to hang on her Christmas tree. And we should also take up a collection for a very nice pen set and have a note attached saying "if you ever decide to write a good story we will return watching" with card..."Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and hope fans new year will be joyous and rewarding in firing you and your cronies, Murdering Maria"....Off With Their Heads Wink

First of all, I'm more insulted by the fact that they referred to MAB as a 'celeb'. Secondly, ok the outfit is bad, but what is up with that HAIR?!

BTW, I'll second that Wizard of Oz comment...ugh!

She looks like a Witchipoo Reboot for 2011, sans the tacky makeup. I don't know what she was thinking.
