Best Dressed - 2011 Emmy Awards

The trends of the evening were... stunning reds, elegant creams, and brilliant blues. It was so fourth of July up in here!



Best Overall Look:

Sofia Vergara (#1 best look of the night. Sexy Sofia was perfect in a flowing salmon-colored gown. Perfect hair, perfect dress, perfect jewels... or as she would say 'yewels'), Kerry Washington (loved this look. Her hair was sleek and the dress was gorgeous and slightly see-through in just the right places),


Kate Winslet (she's used to be on the best dressed list and this year was no different. The Emmy winner had the right color and cut for her slammin' body), Emily Blunt (looking very fabulous in this flapper-esq gown)



Best Dress:


Nina Dobrev (not sure exactly who this person is yet, but the dress boosts a beautiful silhouette and color), Sarah Hyland (the hair highlights are ughhh, but the dress is very goddess-like and sweet),


Evan Rachel Wood (love the black sequins and the cut of this gown), Christine Baranski (this looks a lot like Winslet's dress, but the deep blue is gorgeous. Definitely the best over-50 look of the night... hell, she even got best over-40)



Best Hair:


Julie Bowen (I like a good ponytail and Emmy winner Bowen is doing this one pretty well), Christina Hendricks (although she is still stuffing her body into too-small dresses, the hair always looks fierce), Gwyneth Paltrow (she was doing the white-blonde thing for awhile, but obviously someone told her it looked like shit. Love the simple, straight, down-do)



Worst Overall Look:


Heidi Klum and Seal (these two have been giving Tim Burton/Helena Bonham Carter a run for their money for years. It's cheap carnations meets Euro-trash), Taraji P. Henson (I'm very upset that she did this... she's usually on the best dressed list. Her hair looks as though it was done in the car and the dress is ill-fitting and see-through in the worst way)



Worst Dress:


Gwyneth Paltrow (critics seemed to love this look, but it makes the rail-thin Paltrow look like a muffin-top. She could have loosened it just a tad), Dianna Agron (it looks like she took a ton of ugly blue satin fabric and cut holes for her head and arms)



Worst Hair:


Heather Morris (this up-do is horrendous... this isn't prom 1999), Anna Paquin (this might have worked with jeans and a cute top, but for the Emmys? Me no likey), Elisabeth Moss (I thought I asked Moss to lay off the football helmets)



Honorable Mention:


Katie Holmes (I'm not in love with the fabric... or her hair, but the cut and color are doing her long, lean body good), Kristen Wiig (the cut is great on her and doing a brown dress with her beautiful chestnut hair is good, but I don't dig the two-toned look),


Claire Danes (a lot of critics didn't like this look. They think there's too much going on. I actually think it works), Lea Michele (she would have made best overall, but this dress is far better from the back... the front is too much)

Flick of the Day


Film: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Director: Jodie Foster
Actors: Holly Hunter, Anne Bancroft, Robert Downey Jr, Dylan McDermott, Claire Danes, Charles Durning, Geraldine Chaplin, Steve Guttenberg, Cynthia Stevenson, Amy Yasbeck
Year: 1995

Synopsis: A divorcee goes to visit her crazy family for Thanksgiving.



Jodie Foster's hilarious ode to the joys of family is our flick of the day. "Home for the Holidays" takes a peak into the life of unlucky-in-love Claudia Larson. When her daughter (Danes) decides to spend the holidays with her boyfriend, Claudia is forced to deal with her nutty family alone. Full of laughs and witty dialogue, this film will have you rolling on the floor. Hunter shines in a role that seems to have been written for her. Bancroft and Downey Jr are also in their element as Claudia's overbearing, but loving mother and insane brother, respectively. Also look for highlight Geraldine Chaplin (Charlie's granddaughter) who plays loony Aunt Glady.

Best Dressed - 2011 SAG Awards

Creams, pinks, and lace seemed to be the themes of the night. We saw a bit of bright, vibrant color and a lot of form-fitting . Here are the looks we loved... and hated at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards.




BEST OVERALL LOOK:

Natalie Portman (looks lovely sporting a beautiful white gown, perfect hair, and baby bump), Lea Michele (takes the prize for #1 Best Look of the Night in a fabulous sparkling gown and fun, messy 'do), Angie Harmon (although it's been done before, she looks gorgeous... especially her elegant ponytail)



BEST DRESS:

Winona Ryder (she knows how to make a comeback in this fierce, cream-colored gown), Susan Sarandon (the purple in her dress goes great with her red hair), Sofia Vergara (knows exactly how to dress her body and the color is stunning)

Julianna Margulies (looks lovely in red), Annette Bening (a Greek-goddess gown that looks great on her)



BEST HAIR:

Mila Kunis (best down 'do)

Amy Adams (best up 'do)



WORST OVERALL LOOK:

Nicole Kidman (I'm not sure what she was going for, but Kidman has really been dropping the ball in terms of red carpet looks), Helena Bonham Carter (and the Queen of Horrid takes her place on the worst list), Jennifer Lawrence (this might have worked if the left shoulder straps were removed, the black belt bow was gone, and the color was toned down a bit)

Dianna Agron (the hair is terrible and the dress doesn't work on her at all), Christina Hendricks (it's a robe made of curtains), January Jones (the #1 worst look of the night. I don't know what you were sipping when you picked this out, Jones)



WORST DRESS:

Hailee Steinfeld (you're new at this, so we will give you a pass, but please don't ever come looking like a box of Crayolas again), Mila Kunis (I understand what she was trying to do, but I think she got the bottom of the gown caught in a blender on her way out the door)

Jayma Mays (hideous cut and bad color for her skin tone), Jane Lynch (why? Did you lose a bet?), Jenna Fischer (is that made out of sweatpants material?)



WORST HAIR:

Eva Longoria (she's such a tiny person. She should avoid big 'dos), Annette Bening (I would love for her to come to one awards show this season with her hair brushed), Winona Ryder (she did so well on the dress. I figured crazy Winona would rear her ugly head)



HONORABLE MENTION:

Mariska Hargitay (she's looking great. Would have made best overall look, but the cut of the dress is a little boring), Hilary Swank (the dress is great and the hair is fierce... I'm just not sure if they go together), Claire Danes (she looks just like January Jones in this pic. I'm not in love with the belt, but the dress is awesome)

Betty White (Best look over 80. Betty certainly knows that blue is her color. I love the jacket too. She's is one rockin' 89-year-old)
