Kate Beckinsale didn’t receive much love for her quirky, baby doll minidress and boots look this week. The actress, 51, has been making headlines for her appearances at the Venice Film Festival, where so far, fans have deemed her fashion choices a flop.
Having raised eyebrows on the red carpet in a peach glitter getup that went down the corset route, Kate was back for more, this time slipping her slender frame into a tiny minidress teamed with the chunkiest ever pair of platform biker boots. Users reacting on The Daily Mail instantly slammed the look, with one user saying that Kate “looks ridiculous.”
Kate Beckinsale Turns Heads With Quirky Minidress Style
Rocking a boho-inspired look in pink, Kate sent out girly vibes in her leggy, segmented minidress.
Affording a stitched, patchwork finish, the Pearl Habor star flashed her super-slim legs while allowing the dress to swathe her upper body, but there was plenty more to look at down below.

Fans also suggested that Kate was suffering a “mid-life crisis” as they shaded her.

“No, actually, I watched my stepfather die quite shockingly, my mother has stage 4 cancer and I lost a lot of eight from stress and grief…,” she began, adding:
