Emma Stone Doin' it Sneakily at The Tony's


Lookin' all kinds of radiant next to boyfriend and Tony nominee, Andrew Garfield (he did not win for "Death of a Salesman", though the revival itself won)


That pluning v-neckline on her Naciso Rodriguez gown and those Chrysoprase earrings... girl! You may have skipped the red carpet, but you are workin' it for the cameras!


























And while most folks are gonna rag on Mr Garfield for this awkward, finger to lip touch, I enjoy an awkward boy. Plus, who doesn't know the whole point to your pillow lips flirt trick? C'mon, boy know what he doin'!

Designers Want You to Cocoon for Fall 2011

(the original)



It appears more than a few American designers attended  the "Balenciaga: Spanish Master" exhibition at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute recently because there were numerous homages on this past week's runway to Cristobal's famous "cocoon coat"




(Marc Jacobs) 



The shape is simple: a coat made of a clean, fluid sphere that is like a shell for the body and provides a pedestal for the wearer's head



(Narciso Rodriguez)




Introduced in the 50's at the height of The New Look, Balenciaga went against the grain of over-emphasizing a woman's hour glass figure and instead opened the silhouette that allowed the woman movement and a certain air of chic


(Derek Lam's cropped shearling was a fresh interpretation for 2011)



(Lyn Devon's sweatshirt style felt new too)




(Thom Browne exaggerated the shape big time)



Will this trend carry over to Europe? Will retail embrace this harder to sell shape? Will everyone being doing the turtle this Fall? We shall see....

Last Nite's Party: Emmy Fashion

Ok, I watch a lot of tv, or so I thought. But I don't know who half these B's are on last nite's Emmy red carpet.

So I just gonna focus on the few I do....


I know Anna Paquin from True Blood and I know Alexander McQueen, but I don't think the two go together. She looks squat and too two tone. My high school colors were black and gold and that was probably the last time I needed to see someone wear just those two colors from head to toe. . 



I know Christina Hendricks because she's hot and all over the place from Mad Men to magazine covers to London Fog. I might be the only person out there who likes this lavender Zac Posen dress on her, but I think the milky skin, flame waves and floaty lilac number are all so rich and delicious. But I am also biased when it comes to redheads. I can't talk ish about them or Mr G will put the hurt on. 


 

Betty White straight doin' it and winning much deserved SNL hosting awards. Go Bets!



Another funny lady and SNL alum got it right. Sure, Tina Fey's Oscar de la Renta looks a bit like hieroglyphics but I think they read as "Go on now, Miss Tina!"



Another print, another True Blood actress. But unfortunately, another flop. Mr G and Miss GL are not fans of Rutina Wesley's Tara on the show and I always have to defend her. In this Douglas Hannant dress she looks ok and the print is fun, but the hair and makeup is indefensible. Honey, I don't need to remind you the face is the money. 



Who this girl? She's on The Office according to IMDB. She look like she on the way to prom. And I kinda not mad at that. 



I really not mad at these two. This is Muriel and Elaine Benes, together! At last. I'ma go fag out in a corner now. (Oh and if it matters, Toni's in Valentino and Julia's in Narciso Rodriguez, of course. She LOVE him.)




Cutest couple in love (notice the nerdy bow tie color matching her dress) Emily Blunt and John Krasinski



Attention whoriest couple in love Ty Burrell (who he???) and wife




Kelly Osbourne, are you even on tv anymore? Either way you look the best you've EVER looked in this Tony Ward dress, girl. Keep it up!



Prada is one of those labels that has a huge following and major respect in the industry. Rita Wilson is showcasing a prime example of why I always question Prada's reputation. Yikes!
