Mid-Hair Collision: It's hard to go wrong with a
hairstyle inspired by two celluloid classics, but Ellen Pompeo finds a way with her Aquanet-cemented high-rise
hairdo. The "Grey's
Anatomy" star's neck-elongating, noodle-expanding tresses take style cues
from two empowering but... more calamitously coiffed female film icons: Dustin Hoffman's titular, be-wigged cross-dresser in "Tootsie" and the ever-vigilant, bouffant-topped "Spaceballs" robot, Dot Matrix. Pompeo's misguided mane is so
mountainous it even manages to draw the eye away from the sleek silhouette of
her strapless, sweetheart-necklined Michael Kors gown and flawless, almost
lifelike face paint, although on the plus side, it also downplays her
ticky-tacky, double-tassel necklace, which should be returned to whatever
graduation cap or dusty drapery cord she got it from. (Gregg DeGuire/WireImage
