eee1313As per usual, I did not watch the Emmys. They never give the awards to the people I like. It seems like this year things were different, so maybe I did miss out. But whatever, I don't really care, because it's time for the annual Emmy fashion round-up!
I don't know who Lauren Sanchez is, and I don't know how I feel about her dress. It makes her look all boobs & shoulders, and the cutout is weird, and the way the bodice is structured over her boobs it reminds me of Man-At-Arms and his chest plate.
Anyone else think that Mary Hart is scary?
That is some high hair, Lauren Bosworth.
Craig Robinson looks dapper! As a side note, one of my former coworkers was roommates in college with Craig. He said Craig was "crazy." I'd believe it.
Carrie Preston's hair matches her dress.
Wow, I almost didn't recognize Julie Benz. She's got some serious blingy jewelry going on. I'm not sure how I feel about the dress. Kind of blah.
Angela Kinsey could use a necklace. Or some bigger earrings. Something.
Jane Lynch looks fabulous. The makeup is tasteful, the jewelry is tasteful, and the dress is a great color on her. Radiant. Wait, hang on. I need to ammend that. From the hips up all of what I said stands. But I hate hate hate the way her dress cuts across the hips and forms panels in the skirt. That totally ruins the flow of the gown.
Chris Colfer is on Glee, right? If that's the case, big love to him for the treble clef lapel pin. LOVE IT.
OMG, Maria Menounos. OMG.
"I used to wear parachute pants and muscle tees on TV, and I had a Monchichi-style permed mullet. Look at me now, bitches! I clean up good." (While that is true, you are still an ass who cheated on your hot wife on your honeymoon. Boo.)
AAAAAAH! AAAAAH! AAAAAAH! Scariest red carpet photo EVER!
No clue who Sarah Hyland is (Modern Family, maybe?), but I love this outfit. Totally age-appropriate and cute. She's like a classy princess.
Jimmy Fallon looks totally adorable. I heard he did a good job. I saw clips of his song parodies and they made me laugh, so good for him.
Okay, so while I give Sarah credit for looking her age, I'm giving a thumbs down to her costar/boyfriend/friend/I-don't-know Matt Prokop. Hate the hair, hate the disheveled skinny tie, hate that he either has a red runny nose or was doing blow before this picture was taken. He looks like a skeevy emo boy, and that's not cool for the Emmy red carpet.
Henry Ian Cusick needs a tie or something. He looks like a post-reception groomsman after doing a few too many Jagerbombs. No.
Possibly the best photo of the night: Kathy Griffin and her mom.
Awwww, how cute is this kid? This is how you make a little girl pretty without making her look like a pagaent prostitot. Too sweet.
Damn, this is a lotta look, Rutina Wesley. A lotta dress, a lotta pattern, a lotta leg, a lotta shiny lotion. Her face & hair look great; why distract from that with the body glitter?
Oh, Eva La Rue. I hope this is just a trick of the light and you aren't actually made from a pumpkin. You're still super-pretty, though. But that dress, Eva, that dress...
This may be an unpopular opinion, I don't know. But I actually think I like Emily Deschanel's dress. The weird scallops offer a nice twist on the so-popular-it's-played-out one-shoulder dress. And the minimal jewelry really draws attention to her eyes, which is a nice trick.
There's something about Jayma Mays here that reminds me of a young Goldie Hawn. And that's a good thing. Not entirely sure about the makeup (she could have used some color on her lips, or something), but she looks good nonetheless.
However, someone who should have toned down her lipstick was Jewel. And no, I'm not using her last name. She'll always just be "Jewel." Her dress would have been a lot cuter without the final tier on the skirt. Show some leg, or have that second tier go all the way to the floor. Right now, it's way too chopped up.
Oh, Julia Ormond, what is happening here? Oh, man... Okay, credit to Julia for not getting Botox and plastic surgery, and for just aging like a real woman. But... wowza. I don't think her eye makeup is helping, either.
Lauren Graham's dress is totally different from everyone else's, so that's a plus. I don't necessarily know if I like it, but she's wearing it well. And her hair and makeup look great. On second thought, I think I agree with Matthew Perry here.
Oh no! Tracy Morgan's date looks great, except her dress went see-through with the photographer's flash, and you can see the stick-on she's wearing to hide her nipples. D'oh!
CZUCHRY! Cute as ever. Let's feed him cookies!
Kelly Osbourne looks fabulous. Cranky, but fabulous.
Ellie Kemper is frilly. She reminds me of a molting chick.
Hellooooooo, Boris!
Wow, Nina Dobrev, eat something! Maybe it's just the angle, but she looks TEENY-TINY. That's also a lot of look...
Go away. We're tired of you. ETA: dude, her eyelashes are like venus flytraps!
Alright, I'm going to say it: Anyone else getting tired of Betty White? I love her, but I think I have to agree with Cloris Leachman when I say that Betty's getting played out.
Courtney Ford is pretty, but plain. That looks like something you'd wear to a fancy charity dinner. Step it up, these ARE the Emmys.
Oh, Jorge, you're not still on the island. You can shave now.
Lea Michelle is ruffle-tastic.
Claire Danes is glittery as all get-out, but very pretty.
Anyone else getting a lingerie vibe off Jennifer Westfeldt's dress? But Jennifer doesn't care what I think, because Jon Hamm is kissing her.
You go away, too!
Wow, Tina Fey's dress is totally weird, and TOTALLY AWESOME. I love it.
Jenna Ushkowitz looks fab.
January Jones continues her tradition of wearing WTF outfits on the red carpet. At least she's consistent, but this one may just take the cake. The dress has scales that form cone boobs, people. Also, brush your hair. A word of :(
And while this is a better effort than some of her past missteps, Christina Hendricks still hasn't figured out how to pick a good dress. Another :(
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat is Anna Paquin wearing??? It's like some ancient Egyptian breastplate and epaulets. And Stephen Moyer looks ashy when he doesn't shave. Blech! Wow, her dress is even worse when you see the whole thing. Fugtastic.
Heh. Heidi's like "Flaunt 'em if you've got 'em!" and Seal's like "Honey, I've got my shirt open to my navel for exactly that reason."
Kyra looks great. Kevin, we've still got your tequila. Thanks again!
The Eva Longoria Parker checklist: sculpted hair? Check. Big earrings? Check. Dress with a tight-fitting bodice that ends in a giant fishtail train? Check. Conclusion: pretty, but SNOOZEVILLE. Mix it up a little, Eva!
Yikes.
Tom Hanks looks like Tom Hanks. Rita Wilson, on the other hand, looks like a cheap chandolier.
Sofia Veraga's dress is interesting. I don't know if I like this, but I don't know if anyone else could pull this off. Credit for not going one-shouldered.
Too bad Will Arnett is making a face in this picture, because otherwise he and Amy Poehler look great. Considering she just had a baby, I have no complaints about the weird bunching under her boobs. I just wish she wore bigger earrings.
Elisabth Moss is the best dressed of the Mad Men ladies, hands-down.
I hate whomever does Toni Collette's makeup. She always looks washed out. I like her dress, though. Very dramatic print, and it's not navy, and it's not one-shouldered.
Lily Tomlin's like "Screw you, industry! I've been around forever, and if I want to wear a tiger-stripe cardigan set to the Emmys, I WILL!" I kind of admire that.
His hair just keeps getting taller. HEE!
I hope it's just the angle of this photo that makes Keri Russel look stumpy. She's got orangutan arms in this picture.
HEE! Oh, Christine Baranski, you can do no wrong in my book. (You were the only bright spot in Mamma Mia!, and you're brilliant on TBBT.)
Uh, what's happening here? There's lace, there's bows, there's stripes... Too much!
It looks like Emily Blunt has barnacles. John looks classic, though his pants are a bit too tapered for my liking.
There is not enough YAY!!! in my world for these two. Remember how a few years ago, David would stand to the side, and sit behind NPH? Hooray for progress, and for Barney & Skipper!
I know Maura Tierney's short hair is due to chemo, but I love it. Unfortunately her dress falls into the Man-At-Arms breastplate category.
Rose Byrne continues her tradition of looking sour, but mixes it up this year with slept-in beehive hair.
Hot damn, Julianna Margulies!
Jenna Fischer, as always, disappoints me.
Pssst, Mariska, you look great, but there's a bridal veil stuck to your butt.
Oh, Mindy, Mindy, Mindy. No.
It seems the Emmys couldn't get Bai Ling, so they opted for the classier version with Naya Rivera.
While not as good as what he wore to the Creative Arts Emmys, Alan Cumming still bucks the trend by wearing something off-kilter.
I love him so.
Oy vey, what is Ty Burrell's date wearing?!?!?
Al Pacino may look crazy, but at least he's having fun.
Julie Bowen played it safe, but I hate hate hate those hip-flaps on her dress. If I were wearing that, I'd have my arms clamped against my body to keep those down, too.
I don't know who Gugu Mbatha-Raw is, but she's gorgeous.
Alexander Skarsgard looks like he's been crying. Weird. Also, please shave better.
I love Jim Parsons. Love him. However, he needs to step away from the bronzer. Actually, just make that the makeup table as a whole.
Yay, Nathan Fillion was a presenter! YAY!
Okay, I'm tired now.
