We all knowTabatha Coffey, Bravos sharp-tongued Aussie style pro, from her stint onShear Geniusand her latest hit,Tabatha Takes Over. And now, shes bringing her talents online, joining us at PEOPLE StyleWatch once weekly to dish on some of the best and worst celebrity looks of the week. Keep in mind the opinions below belong solely to the stylist though shes probably saying what lots of you are thinking, anyway!

Today, she takes on Christina Aguilera, who chose this Grecian Pamella ! Roland creation for Sundays American Music Awards:

Raise your hand if you think Im going to be ruthlessly critical and judgmental about Christina Aguilera at the American Music Awards. Okay, now put those hands down because youre all wrong. She gets enough negative comments and reviews as it is and Im not going to play into that kind of behavior.

Christina often faces criticism about her curves from the media, something I find to be unacceptable and beyond inappropriate. What I love is how she embraces her voluptuous physique. Its as if she is telling the media to go f*ck themselves.

I must say this dress is absolutely perfect on her. The ombr color is flattering and the nip at the waist really draws the eye in. The halter is also a smart move because it helps elongate her. Overall the dress accentuates her in all the right places. The clutch is a great match, but Im not totally thrilled with the shoes. Dont get me wrong, I like the shoes, but not so much with this actual dress.

As far as hair and makeup go I have just a couple of things Id like to say. I adore her bob and I think it looks amazing, but Im just not loving it with this dress. I feel like there is a bit of a disconnect between the two looks. Maybe its because the dress is so Grecian and this hairstyle evokes a different period and time.

And her tan is just a bit too orange-y for this hair color and I find it a bit off-putting. On a more posit! ive note,! I think her makeup is the perfect palette, especially those lavender eyes with bold, black lashes. Overall Ill give her an 8 out of 10.
