Holy left shoulder, Batman!

We're rarely bowled over by a red carpet look, but Gemma Arterton's Lanvin look is more OTT than we were expecting, and that's saying a lot!

The giant puffed sleeve makes this British beauty appear as though she's protecting her left side from an oncoming tackle, and the all-over brown color makes it look like she already got thrown into the mud...

We'll admit the sweetheart neckline on the Clash of the Titans star's right side is far from that football feel, as is the body-hugging shape.

Considering all that, we should probably try to appreciate the one-shoulder explosion as a work of modern art? It is rather sculptural, impressively draped, and defying gravity with that puffiness.

Our final assessment: here's hoping it goes right from Gemma's closet to the Museum of Modern Art, so she never wears it again... What's your take?
