Emmys Red Carpet: Best and Worst Dressed

 

Red and pink dresses, pale blue gowns and side boob were the biggest fashion trends at the 2019 Emmy Awards red carpet. Here are my picks for the best and worst dressed of the night:

BEST DRESSED AT THE 2019 EMMYS:

Zendaya SLAYED the red carpet. She was one of the last stars to arrive and girl shut it down with this Poison Ivy-inspired corseted Vera Wang. She could, as the kids say, step on my neck.

 

Russian Doll’s Natasha Lyonne was dripping in gold Gucci. Impeccable styling, impeccable posing, impeccable attitude.

 

I feel like I’ve seen a version of Phoebe Waller-Bridge‘s Monique Lhuillier multiple times before but I don’t care. I still love her in it. If she isn’t going to wear the jumpsuit, this is a close second.

 

Regina King jumped on the baby blue bandwagon but added some extra flair with the straps on her Jason Wu dress.

 

GLOW star Betty Gilpin glowed in this sparkly Jason Wu dress paired with simple hair. I wish she’d had a bold lip but otherwise this is stellar.

 

WORST DRESSED AT THE 2019 EMMYS:

Look, I worship at the alter of Gwendoline Christie and I fully admit that she’s my personal Jesus. But that doesn’t mean I want her to dress like it.

 

The ladies of Game of Thrones should be taking a victory lap, as this is the last season the show is qualified for an Emmy. But they were uniformly underwhelming, especially Sophie Turner. She blended into her pale in Louis Vuitton — a dress that somehow managed to look both wrinkled and stiff.

 

There was a lot of weird bows or folds over boobs on this red carpet. There was also a lot of pale blue. Jameela Jamil in Monique Lhullier was my least fave in both these trends. It looked off-centered and awkward (though she gets points for admitting she did her own makeup).

 

It takes talent for a dress to look both too sheer and too heavy, but Amy Adams‘ dowdy Fendi managed to do just that.

 

Red and pink colour blocked dresses were a huge theme on the red carpet, worn by Marisa Tomei, Taraji P. Henson, Susan Kelechi Watson, and more. For my money (and I know I’m in the minority here), Mandy Moore was the most awkward in a droopy Brandon Maxwell dress that looked like it was always on the verge of falling off. The vampy hair and makeup were on point, though.

-In her Glamour UK cover story, Victoria Beckham recalls being “mentally and physically” bullied as a child. “I was never the popular girl at school and I never found anything easy and I was told ‘No’ constantly…I was bullied a lot at school, mentally and physically, and the fact that I can talk to Harper about that and how girls should be kind to girls – really I use my own experiences and share that.”

-Out magazine put Dan Levy on the cover of their fashion issue and this is a v. good choice.

–Lady Gaga just dropped a new makeup line on Amazon, and her eyeliner is already a number one best-seller.

–Kanye West confirmed that his new album, Jesus Is King, will drop next week.

-Meanwhile, Brad Pitt praised Kanye’s Sunday Service: “I think he was doing something really special there. It’s a pure celebration of life and people. It’s really delightful. It really is.”

–Mandy Moore just dropped the music video for her first new song in over a decade.

-Huh. One of the biggest TIFF deals was for Hugh Jackman’s Bad Education, which HBO bought. I thought it was just ok (though Allison Janney was predictably fabulous).

-Canadian Lilly Singh debuted her late night talk show last night — and she did great! Watch clips here.

-That fired SNL comedian might have just offered the worst non-apology in the history of Hollywood, which is really saying something.

-Much like his ex Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux has gotten himself a new Apple+ show.

-NBC’s upcoming streaming service is called Peacock and it will include a Saved By The Bell reboot with original stars Elizabeth Berkley and Mario Lopez reprising their roles, and a Battlestar Galactica revival, with a new take from Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail. Parks and Rec will also move from Netflix to this new streaming service.

-Speaking of the streaming wars, Big Bang Theory has set a record-setting, eye-popping multi-BILLION-dollar streaming deal with HBO Max.

-Even Tinder is launching a streaming service? We’ve officially entered TOO MUCH TV land.

–Jake Gyllenhaal shared some delightful Spider-Man bloopers on his IG.

–Scaachi‘s excellent Buzzfeed profile of Teen Vogue writer Lauren Duca is what everyone is talking about today. It’s a roller coaster ride of an article that started being about Duca’s new book and her Twitter fame, and ended up being about how her entire NYU summer class filing a formal complaint against her. This line took my breath away: “Congratulations, you thrillingly, thrillingly adept journalist, you have discovered that Lauren Duca is not perfect. Put it in the headline, baby.”

-The new Last Christmas trailer does nothing to allay fears that Henry Golding is playing a ghost or angel.

 

Italia Ricci and Robbie Amell Welcome Baby Boy

-Congrats to Italia Ricci and Robbie Amell, who welcomed their first child — a boy they named Robert Amell V. She’s been hilarious to follow on IG during her pregnancy. Also they got Thai food from Pai delivered to their Toronto hospital room last night, so they clearly have good taste.

–James McAvoy says Jennifer Lawrence‘s mother told him the actress was born with teeth.

-I like everything about EW’s cover story on Hustlers.

–Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello made fun of their kissing skills in a hilarious new video. I don’t know what’s really going on with those two but I must admit they’re winning me over.

–Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter reportedly “couldn’t keep their hands off each other” at a New York Fashion Week party.

–Mandy Moore is releasing new music next week and I hope it’s amazing and acts as a giant middle finger to Ryan Adams.

-Don’t expect Rihanna to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show anytime soon.

–Critics are divided on Taika Waititi’s Holocaust dramedy Jojo Rabbit, which premiered this week at TIFF.

-This article on a publicist whose job is to babysit actors during TIFF is a great read. “You would think that the Mark Wahlbergs and J.Los of the world would be the most demanding but, A-list talent like them know their job and know what they are there for. The C-listers are new and so excited to do whatever you need and they don’t question anything. They’re great. The problem, in general, is the B-listers. They are about to launch, but they also know they aren’t nobodies so they push [boundaries] with you. Some will demand, ‘Well, Julia Roberts got that why don’t I get that?’ And you’re like, ‘Because you’re not Julia Roberts?'” I’m very curious about who the indie-actress-turned-franchise star could be. Jennifer Lawrence? Brie Larson?

–Demi Moore has released a memoir, in which she reveals she was raped at 15 and abused Vicodin after a miscarriage during her marriage to Ashton Kutcher.

–Kim Kardashian says that she and hubby Kanye West may be moving to Wyoming part-time.

-SNL just added three new feature players — including their first Asian cast member. How is it possible that it’s taken this long?!

–Meghan Markle launched her charity capsule collection today and a lot of my Twitter TL were scrambling to buy the tan tote, which sold out almost immediately.

–J.J. Abrams‘ Bad Robot just landed a $250M all-encompassing partnership — including film, TV, video games, digital — with WarnerMedia.

–John Greene‘s novel Looking for Alaska gets the TV treatment in this trailer for Hulu’s new adaptation. All the music is from 2005, so it’s basically made for me.
