2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards Fashion Review!

23 Jan

Eesh.  I think the dresses at the SAG award were either REALLY REALLY awesome or just plain awful.

**copyright claim** all photos are courtesy of just about every single entertainment website on the internet.

We’ll start with the WORST DRESSED!

Betsy Brandt

Betsy Brandt

HAHAHA WHAT IS THIS????

Cate Blanchett

cate-blanchett

I like the color and the dress in general.  BUT random pieces of fabric hanging with no rhyme or reason bothers me.  Maybe that’s why I’m not known for my fashion sense. (I’m still in my tank and yoga pants as I write this)

Claire Danes

claire-danes

This dress looks like an unfinished thought. To sparkle or not to sparkle.

Jane Krakowski

jane-krakowski-sag-awards-2014

Is it just me or does this dress look like something out of Back to the Future pt. 2?

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
julia-louis-dreyfus

Is it just me or are her boobs looking strange in this dress? Like the color but hate the weird chest action.    Congrats on your win though!

Julie Bowen

julie-bowen

You were on my best dressed on my very first fashion review.  It’s taking a long time to climb out of that fashion hole you threw yourself into.  You have the potential. Realize it. Go back to the beginning and start from there.

Juliette Lewis

juliette-lewis-sag-awards-2014

Are you imitating Lucy Liu from the 2013 Golden Globes?

Malin Akerman

malin-akerman

Yuck.  At least it wasn’t the fun bag fallout dress!

Mayim Bialik

mayim-bialik

You actually said to yourself, “I’m gonna wear this to the SAG awards tonight.”  WOW. You keep topping yourself Mayim!  However, congrats on all your success.

 Sandra Bullock

sandra-bullock

Ms. Bullock .. you have graced my best dressed list many times and this is the first time I have to say that this dress…. it ain’t it.  I don’t like the bow on the side, I’m not wild about the fabric or the color… I pretty much just dont’ like it.  But I love you and I can’t wait to see what you wear to the Oscars this year!! Congrats on your win at the SAG awards!! xxoo

Flower Patterns

It’s like all these fine actresses coordinated their dresses or something.  I love them all and they get a pass for their ill-fated fashion attempt … but I don’t like flowers on dresses.

Rita Moreno

Rita Moreno

Emma Thompson

emma-thompson

Helen Mirren

helen-mirren

“I’m the new Christina Hendricks” Award.  Holy Boobies.

Ariel Winter

ariel-winter

AWESOME COUPLES!

I love me some couple action. I love when they pose together and put on a unified front.  Love these peeps!

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Sari Mercer

chiwetel-ejiofor

What a gorgeous couple. First time I saw Chiwetel was in Salt.  Can’t wait to see more from you buddy! Congrats on yours nominations!

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves

matthew-mcconaughey-camila-alves

What a stunning couple.  I love love LOVE Camila’s gown.  What a beautiful color! Bravo!

  Justin Mikita and Jesse Tyler-Ferguson

jesse-tyler-ferguson-justin-mikita

Beautiful couple, beautiful people. I love the tuxes – perfect.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

tom-hanks-rita-wilson

Always a stand out couple.  I love Rita’s dresses.  She is always such a class act.

Undecided …. but definitely peeked my interest!

Abigail Breslin

abigail-breslin

I think you are on the right track and I love the shoulder jacket with sparkle.  I’m going to be watching you.

Amy Adams

amy-adams

I love the color Amy! So bold and just lovely.  I can’t decide if I like the cut of the chest/shoulder or not.  Either way, it’s not a total win but it’s not a total loss either.  You look gorgeous.

Natalie Dormer

natalie-dormer

You are so interesting to me.  I’m loving you on The Tudors and I really like you in Game of Thrones.  This dress fits your personality (without me knowing what your personality is actually like… HAHA). I love the sleeves.. they are interesting.

Bringin’ the Wonk… aye… WON-KAY!

Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts collage

I thought this was a dress at first. And I liked it (minus the horrible color). … then I saw it was a jumpsuit??? Yikes.  Wonky to say the least.

Kerry Washington

kerry-washington

I’m all about being proud of your bump. I don’t normally comment negatively on any preggo lady.  However, I will say I have never been crazy about your fashion choices….

Honorable Mention

Kaley Cuoco

kaley-cuoco-sag-awards-2014You always end up on the good end of my lists.  Not a best dressed this time, but you know what works and what doesn’t.  I love your hair too.

Mindy Kaling

mindy-kaling-best-dressed-2014-sag

Very nice! This dress looks beautiful on you.  Needs to be hemmed, but other than that the dress is lovely.  Your hair though… yikes.  Brush it.

Nancy O’Dell

nancy-o-dell

I hate sleeves on gowns with the exception of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress (which is a rule when you are married in the Westminster Abbey).  I love this dress and the color and surprisingly don’t mind the sleeves.

And Ta-Dahhhhhh!  THE BEST DRESSED YA’LL!!!!!

10. Anna Gunn

FINALLY!  I’ve been waiting for you to make my best dressed.  I haven’t liked anything you have worn until now and I KNEW YOU could do it.  Bravo.  I love the sparkle, the color and the halter top. Keep it up.

anna-gunn

9. Maria Menounos

How elegant! I love the color and the bodice.  So beautiful!

maria-menounos

8.  Sofia Vergara

Ugh. I’m so jealous of you and annoyed by you. But, you dress to kill and I’m willing to recognize it.  Can you send your stylist over to Mayim Bialik? She needs help. ASAP.

sofia-vergara

7. Sarah Paulson

You look like you are ready for tea and cake.  Go on, have some. You’ve earned it.

sarah-paulson

6.  Sarah Hyland

You know, I’ve been watching you for a long time. You look so sophisticated and beautiful.  Delicious. Perfect choice. I’m noticing that champagne is a popular color this year.  For good reason, it goes with almost everyone…. in my opinion of course… remember, I have absolutely no training or license to really critique fashion other than I am just an overly opinionated, frumpy, musician, stay at home mom.

sarah-hyland

5. Oprah Winfrey

Heck yea– Oprah, you rock. Perfect color. Love the neck and the flower, and I dig the curls.

oprah-winfrey

4.  Jennifer Garner

You are always so well put together.  I love the color and the waist.  You are unstoppable!

jennifer-garner3. Kelly Osbourne

LOVE the color.  Love the cut and fit of the dress. LOVE the fabric and the detail. I love the shoulders.  I’m done with the purple hair though. I know you are under contract, but sheesh.  Time for a change.

kelly-osbourne2. Jennifer Lawrence

YES YES YES YES!! I love love love this dress!!! OMG.  I love this dress. I would wear this. I totally would. If I looked like you.  Your stylist is earning his/her pay this year.

jennifer-lawrence

and… here it is…….

1. Lupita N’yongo

WOW.  This chick is fierce and ridiculously beautiful.  I am loving her gowns.  She was my number one at the Golden Globes and she’s my #1 here. I absolutely LOVE the color. I love the detail.  I love the make up.. You are so beautiful! I can’t wait to see what you wear to the Oscars.  Congrats on your win lady!

lupita-nyong

Remember, these opinions are just my own and have no weight in the world.  However, if anyone wants to pay me the big bucks to write silly fashion reviews, I’m totally down.  We’re halfway thru award season ya’ll!  Next stop…. The Grammys on Sunday January 26th on CBS!  Can’t wait!

2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards Fashion Review!

31 Jan

WHOA BUDDY!!  The good, the lace and the WONKY! This award season is fun.  I’m not wild about a lot of the styles.  However, there were improvements from recent disappointments AND there was a hard fall from the glamour pedestal from one of our big Oscar Nominees.   Two big things I noticed for the SAG awards: LOTS of Black and White and if you went with color then you REALLY went with a BIG color.  On a side note, what is up with people wearing part solid/part sheer outfits, cut out dimensions on perfectly timeless dresses, and letting the hem be WAY too long .. like “no purpose, doesn’t look like a train and you’re gonna trip on it ” kinda long?

 

 

**copyright claim** all photos are courtesy of just about every single entertainment website on the internet.

 

 

 

We’ll start with the MOST IMPROVED.

 

 

 

Kerry Washington

This by far is not on my best dressed list, however, what an admirable try for the SAG awards.  Everything looks well put together compared to your recent tries. I’m especially excited about your sleek hairdo. You look lovely.  Keep it up!

kerry-washington

Juliana Marguilies

BRAVO lady!  You look rejuvenated and beautiful.  Thank you for not wearing curtains with pockets.

julianna-marguiles

Gorgeous hairdo as well.  A+!

Julianna-Margulies-In-Chado-Ralph-Rucci-2013-SAG-Awards

 

 
What is up with all the LACEY looking gowns?

 

 

Nicole Kidman

Such a gorgeous creature and she chooses the sheer see-through lace look.  Eesh. I do like the color against your skin tone though.

Nicole Kidman

Mayim Bialik

You know, I’m just gonna say it.  You and I don’t see eye to eye on what looks good.  BUT despite this major difference, I do think you look nice in this frock but the color is ick.

Mayin Blailik

Look at all of these lacey numbers… what do you think? Are you a fan of the lace?

Edie Falco

Edie Falco

Jennifer Garner

She looks like the Oscar Trophy.  I love her.

jennifer-garner

 
Melanie Lynskey

WHY do people let the length of dresses look RIDICULOUSLY long?  How do they not trip!?!?!?!?!

Melanie Lynskey

Naomi Watts

Naomi Watts

 

 

 

For one reason or another… I have a SOFT SPOT for these gals.

Lea Michele

First off, I love Lea Michele.  Love her voice and respect her talent.   I personally LOVE LOVE LOVE this color.  It’s bright, bold and explosive.  With that said, it’s a little “prommy.” BUT maybe that’s the vibe Lea was going for. I mean, she just graduated from high school in Glee last year… right?  🙂

lea-michele

Julia Stiles

Man, I love Julia Stiles.  I have a soft spot for her. I am not a fan of this grey color for the red carpet, however, I like the cut of the dress and the detail.  It reminds me of paint splatter on a wall. Also, is it just me or does Julia look like a cat in this pic?

Julia Stiles

Sally Field

She’s quite arguably one of the best actresses around.  I love her free spirited look and keeping her style classy and fun.  I also love this color on her.

sally-field

The Plain Janes.

I can appreciate those who like to keep it simple, especially for the SAG awards.  The SAG awards, to me, seem to be the most relaxed compared to the Golden Globes and Oscars.

Elisabeth Moss

I recently started watching The West Wing and Mad Men.  I’m looking forward to seeing more from this chick.  She looks cute.  Simple. Understated. And Sparkly.  Nice. … and she married Fred Armison and divorced him all within a year.  I wonder what happened there.

elisabeth-moss

Gretchen Mol

OMG.  Have you seen Boardwalk Empire??? I can’t decide if I love her or hate her character.  I guess that means she’s doing a good job, eh?  I think this look works for her.  I liked the green against her skin. I just think this dress itself looks boring and kinda like a bridesmaid dress.  Right right?  IT does!

Gretchen Mol

Jane Krakowski

Ugh.  PEACH?  Seriously?  I like the sparkle (cuz I dig all things that shine), however, peach?  She’s taking her responsibilities for Trop 50 a little too far.  Blagh.  A wash-out.

Jane Krakowski

Tina Fey

Some people love her, some people hate her.  I love her. So smart, so funny.  I also think she has a knack for wearing things that compliment her personality and body.

tina-fey

 

 

 

Taking a risk and WINNING!

 

Nancy O’Dell

You get the big risk award.  I LOOOOOOOVE this dress.  I think it is SO interesting and it fits like a glove with her figure.  She’s only a tv host and she looks like a super star.  I love the color, train, fit, fabric…. I love the earrings and the hair.  JOB WELL DONE NANCY!

Nancy Odell

 

 

Not impressed.  

 

Claire Danes

First, let me say– I actually like this dress.  I love the black on the  one shoulder draped look and the detail up the slit.  However, for a nominee (and winner), I was hoping for a little more from Claire.  This is just a little… boring for my taste and don’t get me started on your hair.  Congrats on your win though!  Cannot WAIT for next season of Homeland.

claire-danes

 

 

Bringing the Wonk.   

Eesh. There are a lot of these wonky frocks.  I don’t know what is up with the choices this season.

 

Jane Lynch

Bondage anyone? Jane you are such a classy lady.  This look gives me the impression that you are auditioning for the next Conan the Barbarian movie.

Jane Lynch

January Jones

Now now now January.  You and I both know the only person who could possibly pull off this hideous frock and make it look remotely  good is Helena Bonham Carter.  Even then I still wouldn’t like it but at least she would own it like she came out of the womb wearing it.  You’re trying too hard.  C’mon. You’re a pretty girl.  You can do this.

january-jones

Jenna Elfman

UGH. I **HATE** sheer see through crap.  It leaves little to the imagination and is so tacky (in my humble opinion).  You are such a beautiful gal Jenna!  Why are you wearing something like this?   I like the halter idea but the rest of the dress is HIDEOUS. Sorry.  I do love your new show 1600 Penn.  Fingers crossed they don’t cancel it. You are super duper funny in it.

Jenna Elfman

Julianne Moore

Flower power!  No thanks on the cleavage dip.  Not a good look. At. All.

julianne-moore

Michelle Dockery

I’m really trying hard to like Downton Abbey … there are brilliant moments but I am still trying to figure out what all the fuss is about.  Eesh.  I do like your character, I just don’t care about you yet.

Michelle DOckery

And I don’t care about your sideboob here either.  The End. Cue music.

michelle-dockery

Morena Boraccin

I LOVE MORENA.  I don’t love this dress.  It resembles her reptilian side from her cancelled TV show V.  Don’t you think?  Kind of a weird design if you ask me.

Morena Boraccin

Rose Byrne

Huh???

Rose Byrne

Sigourney Weaver

This actually hurts my heart to write negatively about my dear Sigourney.  She’s Ellen frickin Ripley for crying out loud! Unless she is lighting blowtorches and beating the crap out of some drooling alien in this dress, she might as well be in a paper bag. What’s up with this cut?  When stars look in the mirror with their stylist (or with their BFF), do they get lied to about how they actually look?  You are such a classy, timeless woman … this dress doesn’t do you justice. In fact you would do much better with wearing fig leaves over this dress. On another topic, I CANNNNNNNNOT wait for your summer drama Political Animals to come back.  I adore that show and I adore you.  ❤

Sigourney Weaver

 

 

How fast they fall.

Julie Bowen

You’re killing me here lady.  Seriously WHAT IS UP!?!? Are you giving up all together?  This dress is poorly fitted to you knock out bod, the color looks drab, your hair looks like a hot mess and your hemline is too long. The best thing I can say is your face looks gorgeous.  I love the natural look for you with the smokey eyes.

julie-bowen

Anne Hathaway

I cannot wait for these sheer fishnet crap dresses to phase out.  Absolutely dreadful!  I am so disappointed right now.  You’re an Oscar nominee … you’re Anne Hathaway!!  WHY WHY WHY???? If the dress was just a little bit shorter and you had ice skates on I would think you were auditioning for a Nancy Kerrigan biopic.  C’mon!!!  I’ll be holding my breath for your Oscar dress… I expect BRILLIANCE from you!

anne-hathaway

 

 

Honorable Mention

Alfre Woodard

Such poise!  Wonderful color!  I love you.  Lets do lunch!  xo

Alfre Woodard

Jessica Lawrence

Very lovely!  I heard you had pneumonia on this night.  Good to see you are on the mend.

lawrence

There was a little “mishap” with your dress as you walked up to the podium to accept your award (congrats by the way).  Apparently though folks, I’m happy to report that it was just the lining that popped off and it didn’t actually rip.

tumblr_mhbfcohtou1qbnazvo1_250

Jessica Chastain

Great color.  Great fit.  Great hair. Great great great.  (WAYYYYYY better than your Golden Globe gown)

Jessica Chastain

 

 

And Ta-Dahhhhhh!  THE BEST DRESSED YA’LL!!!!!

7. Maria Menounos

Doesn’t she look amazing?? Holy smoke!  She is DEFINITELY one of the best dressed so far this award season. Hooray!

Maria Menounos

6. The chick who came with Matthew Morrison

I have no idea who this chick is but I want this dress.  If I was still performing classical music, I would totally wear this dress if I could.  I love the lines and the neckline and the concert black color.

ladywithmatthewmorrison

5.  Sofia Vergara

Yea yea yea.  You’re every man’s dream and you annoy me.

sofia-vergara

But I can’t deny that you rocked it at the SAG awards. Bravo!

4. Amanda Seyfried

This gal is on my radar.  I think she gets better and better with everything that she’s in (and believe me, she’s been in some stinkers).  BUT there’s hope. I see the talent– and she’s fun to watch.  She’s a gorgeous gal too.  I thought this gown was a gorgeous color next to her blonde locks.  I love the fit of the dress around all of her curves.  It just looks lovely.  Gorgeous look!

amanda-seyfried

3.  Idina Menzel

This dress (to me) is delicious.  If I had her body, I would be in this dress in a heartbeat.  It accentuates all the perfect spots.  I love the burst design on the rib of the dress.  My favorite part of this dress?  The straps on the shoulders.  I love the thick band and the dynamic neckline.  Definitely one of my faves.

Idina Menzel

2. Helen Hunt

I LOVE SPARKLE.  I love SILVER. This is a SUPERB choice for an awards show nominee.  I love Helen Hunt.

19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals

 

 

1.  Jamie Alexander

WOW.  This dress is STUNNING. To be honest– to me, this dress is SO cool. It’s daring and is oh so very sexy.  My husband says it needs some chainmail because it’s “costume-y” and would go well when she plays Thor’s sidekick Sif.  This dress reminds him of her character. Alas, this is my list and not his.  I LOVE IT.  And it’s my #1.  So there.

Jamie Alexander

We’re halfway through award season ya’ll!  Next stop…. The Grammys on Feb 10th!!!!!  Can’t wait!

Emmy’s 2012 Fashion Review!

25 Sep

My first fashion review. I’ll be the first to say that I don’t know ANYTHING  about fashion.  In fact, (especially these days) I pretty much wear a comfy tank, comfy pants and my birks for any occasion.   So what gives me the right to completely bare my unintelligent fashion soul on the internet?   Because I can folks, because I can.  Keep in mind that the dresses this year looked ABSOLUTELY awful. The colors were ALL wrong, the cuts made toothpicks look like wonka oompaloompas and don’t even get me started on Ashely Judd’s hair… Yikes.  Really and truly all the dresses sucked, but there were some that were “ok” which are listed as my best dressed.

**copyright claim** all photos are courtesy of just about every single entertainment website on the internet.

My top five WORST dressed at the 2012 Emmys are:

5.  Heidi Klum
Yes. Heidi has an amazing body. BUT, for someone who is all into fashion, she is trying WAY too hard to appear younger.  She looks YOUNG, she looks FRESH, she doesn’t need a tacky sea foam, high slit dress to prove it.  Start being a little more classy Heidi. Find a better cut because I expect better from you!

4.   January Jones
Remember when Gwyneth Paltrow got all goth and went to the Academy Awards several years ago?  Yea.  Total fashion stupidity.  January, quit consulting Gwynnie, get with it or don’t show up.

3.  Elizabeth Moss
Just no.  NO. NO. NO.  As my opera professor would say “Floral prints are distracting.  Wear them and fail.”   Liz, you TOTALLY crashed and burned.  Also, is your hair naturally blonde?  No offense, but I think you would look really nice as a dark headed lady. I don’t watch your show and I know nothing about your acting talent… but that dress tells me a lot about your willingness to say yes to people when you should have said NO! Feel the power of SAYING NO!!!!

2.   Julianna Margulies

W.  T.  F  JULIANNA!  Seriously, what is up with these floral prints?  It looks like a horrible shower curtain from 1972.  So ugly.  AND POCKETS?  SERIOUSLY?  POCKETS?  Also, not that I particularly care because I’m sure I have a farmer’s tan on my ankles from my socks.. but we totally see your tan line!!  You are SUCH a bold lady, with a STRIKING face… you do SO SO well in bold, dark colors.  Next time, DO NOT disappoint me.

1.  Lena Dunham
Lena, I don’t even know who you are. Please don’t ever wear something like this again.  It looks like the most horrible bridesmaid dress ever known to man. Except it looks like a blue lace doily on a sad pony.

My top five forgettable (not bad, but nothing spectacular) are:  

5.  Christina Hendricks
Ok .. so you have big boobs.  I get it.  As a lady who is extremely well endowed herself, I can honestly say that you have overexposed your assets.  Can we see something different?  Impress me PLEASE. You are being overshadowed by your boobs. The color of your dress sucks. You’re a pretty gal, and yes luscious boobies.  Your dresses are becoming….. nothing in the fashion history books.

4.  Claire Danes
This cut looks good on NO ONE.  Not a toothpick, not a full figured gal and certainly not a 2nd trimester preggo gal even though you still look like a toothpick..  NO one can save this style of a dress.  I’m not a fan of the mustard yellow either against your platinum locks either.  Washes you out completely.  Had you had a darker shade of blonde, the color might .. *MIGHT* have worked. But as is, no way.

3.  Zooey Deschanel
This is a mess.  Just a total mess.  I wish it had been just a shade darker with the fabric color. Also, did Edward Scissorhands cut this dress up?  Just saying.

2.  Mayim Bialik
Eesh. I don’t  like the cut or style at all for her.  She’s not 70.  Also, I’m not a fan of the drape fabric.  I like the color.. just not the fabric, cut or style.  You can do much, MUCH better Mayim.  On an aside, your hair looks gorgeous.

1.  Kerry Washington
You. Are. A. Pretty. Girl.  Did you forget to stop by hair and makeup?  You almost look like a lush that threw on a sparkly dress. Is that too harsh?  Well,  I guess it’s just my disappointment. I absolutely LOVE you in Scandal and I was really hoping to have that fabulous hairdo you have on the show and some beautiful color on your dress.  That color just ain’t it for you darlin.  Totally forgettable.

My top five for BEST dressed:

5. Julie Bowen
GORGEOUS cut and fit.  But the color is wrong.  You look a little washed out.  Your hair would have looked nice had it had some soft flowing curls, but it just looks like stringy rat hair. I think you can do much better!  Also, put some color on your lips… I can’t see you Julie!  You are such a pretty lady!  Come back to us!

4.  Jessica Lange
Madame Lange.  You are one of THE MOST amazing actresses. You are absolutely stunning in just about ANYTHING.  I truly think you could wear a paper bag and you would rock it like no tomorrow.  Other than the fact I am not a fan of this coral color for myself, you pull it off quite nicely.  I do think the dress could have been better fitted to you.. but you still owned the red carpet like the sexy minx that you are.  Oh, and I dig the sunglasses.  You are a SUCH a classy broad! I ❤ you and CANNOT — ABSOLUTELY CANNOT wait until the American Horror Story premiere! OMG! I cannnnnnnot wait!

3. Ginnifer Goodwin

I like this little ditty. And it looks cute against your pixie cut.  Again, not a fan of that coral color. BUT it’s a great cut, fit and style for you Ginnifer!  Bravo!

2. Kelly Osbourne
I have a soft spot for Kelly.  She used to be this kid who said “she was a chunky girl.”  Being a quite chunky girl myself, I am SO proud of her for getting healthy and looking fabulous!  I think she’s been amazing with her style and the confidence she exudes these days.  I also love how playful she is with her hair.  You are stunning Kelly!  Love the dress, love the hair, love the lipstick– love it all!

1.  Padma Lakshmi
Just about the ONLY dress that doesn’t need any change whatsoever.  Lovely cut, wonderful color against her skin, nice and natural flowing hair.  A+ Padma.

Again, what do I know about dresses and fashion?  Nada.. but that’s what makes it so fun! I’m a celebrity enthusiast and I just can’t help myself! Also, I intentionally left Sofia Vergara off.  She’s gorgeous yes and part of it is out of envy and jealousy … but I am SO ANNOYED by her.  WAY.  OVEREXPOSED.  Like Lady Gaga OVEREXPOSED. I didn’t like her dress or the color.  Her hair looked nice. But that’s about it. The End.

(Yea… I’m totally jealous of Sofia Vergara…. at least I can admit it)
