Screen Actors Guild gowns left my spirits sagging. January 29, 2012 16:00 2 Comments
Ho hum. That's how the fashion — or lack thereof — made me feel while watching the Screen Actors Guild award show. Sigh.
Sure. There were women who looked quite pretty. Viola Davis for one. She glowed. Her Marchesa dress does indeed have an elegant 1960s vibe — and I like that — but it's more Lilli Ann than Lanvin.
And Juliana Margulies wore another dress that left me yawning. Certainly, it looks too good to wear while mucking out the stalls. But the Calvin Klein design looks readymade for Stepford.
There were a few gowns that lifted my blah de dah mood.
I love Kyra Sedgwick's Pucci. And how. The tomato shade looks as irresistible and cool as a bowl of gazpacho on a sweat-inducing summer day in the southern Louisiana. And the cutouts are sexy. Quite. I do think it's time for Kyra to stop channeling Farrah with her hairstyle, though. Be brave, woman. Try something new.
Love Natalie Portman's Valli Giambattista Couture. Love it. Love it. Love it. Absolutely. Talk about stunning. Especially the color. Anyone know a nail polish in that shade? It's perfect.
I'm also more than a little fond of the L'Wren Scott frock donned by the lovely Gretchen Mol. It's beautiful. It's comfortable. Those are two qualities I find most desirable in clothing. I do.
Do tell. I await your opinions. Most eagerly.

I loved the color Blunt wore. Green is a favorite, and especially that shade. I did think the cut was a bit off. Thanks for the nail polish tips. MAC polish wears so well.

It was a slightly underwhelming selection -they all look like normal people at a work function with a slightly ambiguous level of formal wear dress code. I do quite like Emily Blunt’s green number but it goes a bit wrong round the hips..
You could try MAC Nail Lacquer in Blueblood or Dark Angel, it even comes in different finishes so you could do shiny and sheer together as a nail look tribute to the dress!
