Let me tell y'all a few snippets from the Emmy fashions before I forget.
An after Emmy fashion critique panel from TV Guide Network voted on best and worst dressed. Worst was Mrs. Tom Hanks. Instead of a Hollywood glamour gown, she wore a short dress with a beaded net draped over it, with an uneven hem. One critic said she looked like she had stood under a chandelier and it fell on her. Her shoes were awful too. Wedgie's with dangly things on them that looked like something she had hot glued to a pair of shoes found at a thrift store.
January Jones came in for heat too. She plays Don Draper's wife on "Mad Men" and has that cool blond Grace Kelly look on the show. But in real life she always shows up in fashion disasters. She was wearing a stiff blue dress that stood up like a starched collar over her knees in front, as if the wind had blown her dress up--it had cones over her boobs, and had a long awkward train in back. Puzzling to look at.
Speaking of puzzling, Al Pacino seemed confused--he won an award for playing Jack Kevorkian in a TV movie, and it was surprising to see how tiny he really is and how out of it he seemed.
The fashion trend this year for women was long black gowns, some with ruffles. Hairstyles ranged from long and loose with some curl, to updo's where the hair was simple and pulled back. Also, a trend for long hair parted in the middle. Beautiful pumps on almost everyone.
Heidi Klum showed up wearing a ruched black mini dress (how she sat down without showing her goodies I can't imagine) and nice beaded black heels. She was accompanied by her husband Seal, the black singer with scars on his face, and painted black nails. Every time he started to talk, Heidi cut him off. Guess who wears the pants in that duo.
But most of the women were Hollywood glam, and the men looked great too for the most part, lot of tuxedos and bow ties, which looks better than a tie with a tux. Wednesday night on "E" there will be a post Emmy fashion review if you want to see what I'm talking about.
