I just can't stand her fashion. It's so ridiculous, so impractical.
I think she's a beautiful woman, and I get why she wears these horrendous clothes, I just think she'd look so much better in something more simple.
No she isn't a simple person, so the clothes is showing us that instead of telling us.

I know that, which is why I said I understand why she wears it.
But to me, this look doesn't speak of beauty. It speaks of trying too damn hard.
Remember ladies: Look however you want, because no matter how you look, you are doing it wrong.
People, man or woman, should look and dress however suits their personal tastes. If this is really what Vivienne enjoys as opposed to something she does just as part of The Game, then more power to her. If she does just do it as part of the game, she's a tool.
And in either case, it doesn't mean I have to find it appealing or take it seriously.

Something tells me that Vivienne couldn't give a nug's smooth behind if someone ELSE liked how she dressed.

Learn to embrace something that isn't to your liking… If she grew up in Orlais, this is probably what she was exposed to and know how to get farther in The Game.
Honestly, after reading through the Solas thread and 'can we have a hawt dude?' thread, it's hard for me to get too worked up.
The BioWare forums are apparently a hotbed of sexual equality when it comes to looks, just in the worst way possible.

The point of fashion isn't to look GOOD, it's to look trendy, popular, stand out from others, and look wealthy.

Which is why I've always detested fashion culture. It is so ass backwards as to be mind boggling to me.

Wish I could like this x1000 million times
Personally, I'm going to give her EVERY outfit I ever get, just to see how she'll wear it! All the while, I'll just be on automatic repeat: "Yasss Vivi yasss, you look so bootiful!!!"

Haha, me too XD I will make my lady inquisitor super froo froo as well and they can run around and be amazing!

You certainly don't have to find it appealing.
But is it worth the risk to not take it seriously? 
I put this into the "Sera" thread, but I thought it fit well here too. Note: Sera is merely a fan nickname I had heard before. Since calling her "Blonde Elf Girl" all the time was getting awkward, I figured I'd go with the fan name for now.
I had gone with the idea that Varric told Sera about the Elder Tree. I did one little bit where Sera just about makes Cassandra's face turn purple. This is my idea if she tried to do this with Vivienne.
Agree, nice one. 
Hey Allan, could you please tell the bosses that we need more Likes. We are always running out of them.

I'm not going to hate the entire character just because her outfit is garbage.
This IS Orlais, keep in mind. Everything's flamboyant, flashy, and impractical.
I'm more concerned about her personality. Which frankly, sounds unbearable. It would be like hanging out with a gay republican.
“Vivienne was fun to write because she let me play around with different ways for a character to be powerful. Any mage can destroy their enemies with fire and ice, but Vivienne can rip her opponents apart verbally, politically, socially—and make ice seem like the gentlest option. She takes great pride in her work, and her interactions with a certain unnamed Inquisition mage can be a little… explosive. In a good way. Mostly.”

My dear Ambassador,
I don’t believe we’ve met, so allow me to introduce myself. I am First Enchanter Vivienne, Enchanter to the Imperial Court of Orlais, personal advisor to the Empress.
A rumor has reached my ears that you plan on attending the salon held at the duke’s summer estate three weeks hence. I’m certain this rumor must be a scandalous falsehood, Ambassador, as neither you nor anyone else from the Nevarran embassy has been issued an invitation. As host of the party, I trust you did not intend to crash it like some unwashed workman drunk on three tankards of ale and a dare.
I know you are only seventy-third in line for the Nevarran throne, but that is hardly so lowly a position as to relegate you to trailing after Comtesse Montbelliard in the hope that she might give your suit a moment’s thought. She won’t, my dear. She only likes men with self-respect. Perhaps you might sober up and acquire some?
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, Ambassador, that the world has become a dangerous place. Wars rage across the continent, the sky is torn open, and many say the end of the world is upon us. During such chaotic times, it behooves those of us in power to aid in the restoration of peace and the establishment of order. Lives have already been lost; should we not save those we can? In that spirit, I give you this friendly warning: I am not to be trifled with. I would not be in a rush to hasten my own demise if I were you, darling. If the demons have their way, it will come soon enough.
Most sincerely,
Madame de Fer

She wants the people in power to help restore peace and order! 
I just gain a whole new respect for her! Also she can slay people with just words alone!!
It's a pity they didn't release a video for Vivienne... or at least a variety of screenshots maybe. She's very pretty and the concept art showed her wearing different styles of armot, but the only new info we seem to have gotten for now is that she has a buzzcut underneath her fabulous hats.
Also I would have expected that letter to be worded a little different. It sounded quite blunt to me, the insults were barely hidden and addressing the ambassador as "Darling" sounded quite disrespectful as well. Either his position is really extremely low or Orlesians are a lot more direct than I had expected them to be.

I think the Orlesians might normally more subtle. It could be that Viv was a tad more pissed off by what this guy was doing.
