On May 21st, 2007 at the Mann Village theatre in Westwood, California, Universal Pictures presented its’ film Knocked Up, starring Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogan. The film is a comedy about a pair of singletons who get drunk and share a one-night-stand, finding out later they are about to become parents. Katherine Heigl plays the role of Alison Scott, a young journalist who faces the choice of either raising the child alone or taking a chance on the father, a confirmed bachelor about whom she knows little.

Katherine Heigl, no stranger to Hollywood, red carpets or relationships, leaves us a little lost in this beige ensemble we can only call confusing. After a brief liaison with “Roswell” co-star Jason Behr, she is now engaged to musician Josh Kelley, whom she first met on a shoot for a music video. Thanks to her role as the hot Isobel Stevens on Grey’s Anatomy, Heigl jumped from 57 to 39 on the AskMen.com’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women. Now, knowing that, and seeing as she is a former child model, we get very demanding of her. Meaning to say, when you’re blessed with good genes and acting talent, why throw it all away on a khaki outfit best suited for handling baby animals with Jack Hanna or going on safari in Kenya? All she’s missing is the hard hat! Not that looking after wildlife isn’t a noble cause, but it surely has nothing to do with pushing an A-list star on the world stage. Did she think she was sizzling in a conservative way? Or was she due at a parent-teachers’ meeting right after the premiere?
In any case, when she scorched the Oscar red carpet, it makes us weep looking at her sartorial spiral downward. The hair pulled back, the demure makeup, and the short-sleeved dress complete a look. Just not a film premiere look. It makes the cameras fall asleep, and frankly, we can’t blame them. Hopefully, the film she’s promoting will fare better at the box office than her outfit.
Knocked Up opens in theaters nationwide on June 1st.
