Dave Kotinsky/Getty ImagesIf you think that Britney Spears has lost her "it" factor think again!
The 30-year-old pop veteran still has the same very special X Factor that first made her a tabloid darling more than a decade ago: Taking any garment and bringing out its inner hoe bag in a matter of seconds.
Check out the Alexander Wang dress Brit-Brit wore to the Fox 2012 Upfronts presentation this week in New York. It's a sleek, simple, even understated number...
Ditto with the strappy Zanotti sandals—on their own, nothing wrong with them.
And yet, just by touching Britney, this whole borderline couture getup suddenly collapses under the weight of some invisible trailer trash je ne sais quoi.
Maybe it's the singer's Hulk Hogan coif, the mystery tan—fake bake? Mazola?—or the posture that screams Miss Teen East Baton Rouge 2012...Some things even we can't explain.
Just know this: Britney hasn't made her official TV debut as an X Factor judge yet, but we already pity her wardrobe stylists.
