They look pale, but still attractive.

These are perfectly attractive women without their make up on and suddenly they are "washed out" and "under the weather". They are totally normal! What would be odd would be if they wore their intensive, "applied for the lights and cameras" make-up all the time. Why is it "ironic" that Julia was named Best Dressed Oscar winner? Should she be wearing her Oscar outfit constantly to avoid the so-called "irony" of her looking like a normal woman occasionally? "Dressed" means just that... sometimes a woman should be allowed to be Un-Dressy without the world commenting on it.
