Jessica Alba Spotted Wearing Harem Pants - Hot or Not?

Can't touch this! Jessica Alba goes MC Hammer-style. Photo: Jeff Rayner, Coleman-Rayner

What a difference a day makes!

The morning after she turned up at the Aug. 25 L.A. premiere of "Machete" shining like a movie star in a metallic Balmain minidress, Jessica Alba took a tip from MC Hammer and hit the town in a pair of harem pants.

And would you get a load of that!

Though the drop-crotched duds looked fashionably drapey from the front, they gave Alba -- who has the perfect waist-to-hip ratio for attracting men, according to a recent study -- a decidedly droopy derriere.

According to the Daily Mail, the 29-year-old actress wore the genie bottoms -- which she paired with a simple black tee and pale blue scarf -- as she headed to an interview with Piers Morgan.

No word on whether she conjured up something more stylish for their sit-down.

Do you find Alba's harem pants magical or monstrous? Leave a comment.

In related news, Victoria Beckham was seen buying a pair of harem pants.

  • Jessica Alba's Take on the Pastel Pants Trend Jessica Alba's Take on the Pastel Pants Trend Play One trend that we are looking forward to for Spring is pastel pants, and we spotted Jessica Alba rocking not one but two pairs of these while sightseeing in Paris. First, she wore a mint-green pair when she landed in the City of Light, and then selected a bright pink version for soaking up the beauty in the famed Jardin du Luxembourg. Since these pants definitely make a statement, we love that she tempers the bold color with a black coat and matching black ankle boots.

Gwen stayed true to her punky style by mixing a checked jacket with striped pants, while Jessica styled up an adorable floral maxi dress by Karen Zambos. Reese took her two kids to church and showed a hint of her baby bump in a magenta Vanessa Bruno frock. See all these fabulous Easter weekend ensembles!

I totally agree with you! Better yet, can you imagine how she looks wearing nothing at all?! I have yet to understand why Brad Pitt didn't go for her. Angelina looks nice but she isn't quite to the level of Jessica.

What's this business about "the perfect ratio to attract men" She is a happily married woman for god's sake. When she dresses hot for an awards show or a magazine it's only an attempt to keep herself in the public eye. She has chosen to devote her time to her daughter instead of her career for the moment. She just doesn't want to be forgotten when she returns to the silver screen. Remember she is a wife, a mother and a good catholic girl. They generally don't flaunt themselves in public all the time. I agree it's a bad look, but even celebrities are not required to look good all the time.

Harem pants have come and gone over the years and one question always pops up: WHY wear them? A pair of loose-fitting slacks are just as comfortable and a lot more attractive, so buying these can only mean you're trying to draw attention to yourself for some reason.
