Fantasia Barrino Is a Hot Mess!

Posted Apr 23rd 2007 2:19PM by TMZ Staff

Playing Miss Celie in "The Color Purple" is causing Fantasia Barrino to bare more than just her soul!

The Season Three "American Idol" winner arrived to the musical's after-party on Sunday dressed in a trash-tastic, skin-tight, green, leopard print dress. Maybe she was headed to a "Flavor of Love" casting?

Fantasia may be starring on Broadway, but decked out in this hoochie mama ensemble, she looks more appropriate for Times Square! Need a date?

76. Well it not like she can buy any class and good taste. She has looked like a tramp from day one.

77. I just had to make a second comment after reading through more of the other comments.
First off, I dont think she is all that talented. I dont know what her first CD was about, but the second is nothing I would listen to if it was given to me FREE. She dressed terribly. Has no class and carries herself as if she is still very much connected with "the hood". Being a black female myself I would feel comfortable saying , "She is NO role model for any young female."
She came out with the "sob story" of how she had a baby at a young age - something about her not being able to read followed and everything was blamed on her being a young mother. WHO CARES!? Plenty of young mothers continue on with their education and learn how to read. Thats no excuse . . . thats just sorry of her. . . .

79. More boredom I see. Does TMZ think by attacking every aspect of a human being that they are gifted in the art of writing. You give one paragraph insult a person and then expect to have rave reviews for your genius. This is not good news this is trash news. At one time TMZ had better headlines then this. It must be that the stars are not talking to you anymore. It must be your headlines.

81. she' great-her manager is at fault for not dressing her right. She's a hell of a singer and a hell of a woman.

82. I love Fantasia. Contrary to a couple of remarks here, she CAN sing and has already been nominated for multiple Grammys. But, as much as I love her, I have to say she has NEVER been a great dresser. She really needs a stylist and could stand to tone up (as most of us could). Anyway, as someone said... no matter what a person wears not everyone is going to like it, so even if she gets a stylist (or a new one if she already has one), she'll probably land on this site again for another Fugly-Fashion infraction. :)

83. I LOVE FANTASIA AS A SINGER, AS A ACTRESS DON'T KNOW YET. BUT I WOULD SAY THIS, HER FASHION SENSE WILL GET BETTER ONCE SHE START MAKING SOME REAL MONEY. SHE REALLY HAS TO HIRE A BETTER STYLIST, BECAUSE SOME OF HER FASHION CHOICES HAS NOT BEEN FOR THE BETTER JUST WATCH THAT HOOD BOY VIDEO. I LOVE THE SONG AND THE VIDEO, BUT HER FASHION IN THAT VIDEO COULD BE BETTER

84. I have to agree. The dress is way to small for her. She needs clothes that will flatter her body shape. There are clothes that can make you look and feel sexy without revealing so much skin. I hope someone will explain it to her. Though I am not sure if she can take constructive criticism.

85. She was trash when she lived in HIgh Point and she still is trash. She has learned nothing and has done nothing to improve herself. Trash tells.

86. I think that if it was Brittney Spears or anybody else that is half naked these negative comments wouldn't been made...At least she is covered up!!! Must stars her ages aren't wearing as much or undergarments..I don't see you making negative comments about them or maybe that some people still upset that a very talent black female won American Idol.Plus Jennifer Hudson clothes aren't all that her breast be hang out ...Any woman that can call other woman a B*tch and you don't even know them you have problems yourself..You need to take a look yourself..
