Hayden Panettiere in lemon yellow Disney princess dress as she attends White House Correspondents' Dinner


Hayden Panettiere fails to impress in lemon yellow Disney princess dress as she attends White House Correspondents' Dinner

On a night when most celebrities tried to cover up in an odd nod to political sobriety, it was always going to be difficult for those who dared to bare. 
Nobody proved this more than Hayden Panettiere who donned a pastel yellow dress by Katherine Kidd that made her look like Disney's Belle in a low rent dance competition. 
Featuring a draped design which swamped the star's petite frame, the buttercup-coloured frock failed to hit the mark as she posed up a storm on the red carpet in Washington, DC.

The actress' plaits made her shocking frock appear more horribly incongruous, while her bright red lips clashed with the pale hues of her dress. 
The gaps in the sides of the cascading yellow dinner gown were replaced with a noticeable netting connecting the front and back of the garment together so that it didn't fall off and become even more of a wardrobe malfunction.
And the shiny tuille seemed more appropriate for a wedding than a political writers' dinner.

There's too much happenin' here: The cascading yellow dress, the cut-out sides with visible mesh and the white strings hanging from the front were messy, at best

Hanging from the front of the gown were long white strands which appeared to be meant to frame the beautiful actress's torso, but only looked like lingering threads which hadn't been cut.

Panettiere's blonde hair was tied back, with a braid tracing the top of her head, like a princess's crown.

Her dangling oval earrings were covered in diamonds and emerald-coloured stones, perfectly matching her glowing green eyes.
If only the rest of the outfit had been as striking.
Panettiere's performance on the first season of ABC's musical drama Nashville garnered her a Golden Globe nomination.
Even with high critical praise, the network still has yet to announce whether they will renew the show for a second season.
