Michelle Trachtenberg Is Snow White
November 20, 2009 in Michelle Trachtenberg by Versus
Michelle’s ultra white, immaculate skin, the red background, the hot pink carpet, the red lips, the dark dress plus the flash of the camera all made the GG star to look like Snow White herself at the Victoria’s Secret Show last night.
How do you find her look?
One more after the jump!
Blindingly pale. I’m all for lighter skin but when you’re that pale, I think a self-tanner can do wonders to make you light instead of paper white.
Do you know what that looks like on pale skin? It looks orange. If you’re lucky. Otherwise it looks yellow.
dude, if you think her skin is too pale, do you think black people’s skin is too dark? Should they “lighten up”?
I agree. It’s interesting how people will pick and choose at what features should be left alone and embraced and others that need to be changed.
I for one think it’s refreshing to see that Michelle hasn’t fallen into the tanning-trend.
My my friend is as pale as Michelle and she got this self tanner, I forgot what it was called but she got it at a tanning salon. Anyway, it didn’t make her skin orange, it gave her a healthy glow. She was still pale but not paper white. She looked much better and it even made her look slimmer and toned.
Anyway, yeah I do think her skin is too pale. And no I don’t think black people are too dark and should lighten up because 1) they can’t, and 2) my personal preference leans towards healthy glows and darker skin tones.
Nothing to take personally here, I just don’t like extremely pale skin. If Michelle likes it, that’s fine and that’s the most important thing, but I have the right to say that I don’t like it as long as I’m not being insulting. And I don’t think I was insulting in my comment but if you think so, I’ll tone it down from now on.
sure beats fake orange. or orange ingeneral.
She finally wore a dress that is very flattering!! Way to go. She looks lovely, i think that the extreme paleness is due to lighting as well. It seems almost fake pale (the opposite of fake tan or something.)
You know what?i think she`s just special in a really beautifull way! such white,clear,almost immaculate skin makes her stand out.. And being tanned is not what all women around the globe prefer..For ex. asians hate having dark skin as it is compared with lower class people that work on plantations,etc.
Anyway, looks like Michelle also lost some weight..she looks really good,lean and healthy.Good on her.
and that’s what a tanned skin has meant in the european history too, but fortunately we don’t have to think like that anymore (of course after industrialisation lots of ppl worked in factories and then the rich ppl had time to stay in the sun, and tan became “the thing”) I agree Michelle is very beautiful, and i root for anyone who is working their natural skin color.
Fortunately? More like UNfortunately.
There’s a reason tanning is bad – it not only brings about skin cancer, but it AGES your skin terribly.
No wonder asians look on average 10-15 younger then a European or American of the same age.
And what’s with this idea that tanned looks healthy? All I see when I see tanned skin is roasted beef. And all it is is DNA damage.
Good for her for not trying to fit the ridiculous tanned ideal. Not only is it lame, but with skin that white, it would look ridiculous on her.
i mean it’s fortunate we can choose to be pale OR be tan if we want to, and not be seen as upper or lower class.
I think she’s pretty.
She looks good here, at least she doesn’t look disgustingly orange.
I know that she looks extremely pale in these pics, but I do have to say that dress & its color look AMAZING on her skin!
she looks like a vampire.
My thoughts exactly.
A glittering vampire on vampire day. Though I suspect she’s far less irritating than Edward.
the look is complete with the blood stained lips (haha). her skin blinded me so much that I didn’t notice the dress until now; it’s quite a beautiful dress.
I’m just a person who enjoys a tan. i mean, it’s not as if you have to be orange, since that looks good on no one but an oompah loompa, but a little sun won’t kill. I think looking this pale is highly unflattering. It’s also just a tad creepy, as if people are carrying this ‘vampire’ trend [which is sad] too far. a bit of a glow is healthy! plus it slims you naturally. this scares me.
Some people just don’t tan though, they only burn. For some people, the only way to get a tan would be to use fake tan, which is just stupid if they are fine with having pale skin. Why can’t people just have their natural skin colour?
i just personally don’t like it. that’s just my opinion. I have a friend that only burns, so I totally understand. but, you don’t have to be a fake tan either. i think if she just used a lotion that gave a bit of shimmer or glow, a bit less transparent, then i think she would have looked so much better. i’ve never actually seen anyone this pale, & i’ve seen her before in other pictures & she’s never looked this pale. I just feel its a trend [the vampire thing, again, like i said]. that or it could be the contrast of the colors behind her & what she’s wearing plus the flash of the camera, who knows.
i just personally don’t like it. i never said she looked ugly. she’s beautiful, but i’m just for a bit more color.
I have the same skin color as her….I’m sure it’s because of the “vampire trend”…
This is her natural skin color, and people are trying to criticize her for it? My gosh people will find ANYTHING to nit pick about. I prefer her natural color than her looking like a sun dried tomatoe
I actually think she looks really gorgeous. Obviously, all the elements you listed made her look paler than she is, but I think it’s okay.
Wow, she looks like she has the skin of a porcelain doll! I wouldn’t want to be that pale, but good for her for embracing her natural skin tone and not feeling like she needs to make herself look like a rotisserie chicken!
She will probably have amazing skin when she’s older! i bet she takes really good care of it (unlike so many of the leather-chair types you see in hollywood)
That dress is too old for her. It’s understated and elegant, but in no way youthful or particularly flattering on her.
i love this girl, she is so beautiful and doesn’t conform.
However i really wish she would stop wearing heels with ankle straps
I think how white she is might be due to the camera that’s been used.
I’ve seen other pictures of her at this event and she isn’t nearly as pale.

Definitely agree. I think i’m as white as Michelle seems in the other pics (just normal IMO), but i know in some lightnings i look like i have no color what so ever. (I always burn in the sun and i’ve only managed to make myself look orange when i’ve tried self tanners, so it’s better to settle, haahaa)
OMG, her face is crazy beautiful.. to think that Pete Wentz cheated on her makes me cringe… for Ashlee..
The light on the first picture makes her skin look a little blue.
But I love her skin colour. I have a friend who looks like that, like a porcelain doll, but doesn’t see how beautiful she is
That’s so beautiful.
In south korea all the ladies long to have beautiful white skin. It’s youthful and lovely looking.
Goshh, i would love to have skin like that.
she is sooo pretty, love the dress, and i do love pale skin
I don’t like anything about her.
I don’t know who told her that shoes with ankle straps hide cankles, but whoever it was should lose their job. All they do is make her legs look more stumpy. She needs something more open to elongate the legs, not cut them off there.
The pale doesn’t bother me so much as the choice of shoes.
I really don’t like her, I don’t find her anything special.
She always seems to wear shoes with ankle straps even though they are like the least flattering style of shoe to wear if you have thick ankles, which she most definitely does.
I’m not a fan of such a pale skin but it really suits her. It’s glowing and it seems she really takes care of it.
I like it
i think she has one of the most beautiful faces i have ever seen
Good for her for sticking with her pale look! She is looking a little smaller these days. Her legs are still thick though.
I’m not a fan of her body at all, she’s too soft. Her skin is good though
she is positively glowing.
she’s fine!
Meet her in RL, she doesn’t look like that.
her facial expression is very blank like a models, but her colors are nice!
her skin is beautiful, i wish i had that tone. the paler – the better, for me at least..
