Did someone go crazy with the scissors? Jessica Chastain models dress with odd cut-outs on shoulders and neckline exposing her cleavage 

Jessica Chastain took a bit of a fashion risk on Tuesday.

The 38-year-old actress wore a tight blue dress that had some interesting accents as she headed to Live With Kelly & Michael in New York City to promote her new movie Crimson Peak.

It looked as if someone had gone wild with a pair of scissors on the neckline and shoulders as there were unusual cut outs here and there.
