SAG Red Carpet

OK, tomorrow I will finally get to talk about my news, so this is the last post of fluff in the meantime. Did anyone watch the Screen Actors Guild awards last night? I didn't, but I did check out the red carpet photos, duh. All photos from here.

First, the bad.

Angelina Jolie? Well, she was wearing a color, a real one, but she's wearing her third or fourth boring sack in a row. What's with all the dresses that sag over her top half, are slightly cinched at the waist, and then hang boringly from her hips? I mean, seriously. Mix it up a little!


Now, I love Kate Winslet, and I think she's gorgeous, and I know the color of her dress is really trendy, but the whole thing was just very off-putting for me. It was just SO tight across the hips and midsection, and the top part made her shoulders look very broad and square and her boobs look very far apart, fifties-style.


Marcia Cross, no no no. So busy! Like an eighties prom dress, except without shoulder pads (at LEAST).


At first I thought that America Ferrera's dress had promise, but then I saw the skirt. Can someone please explain to me why sacks have come back into fashion? Because everyone seems to be wearing them. I once learned that skirt size was inversely related to the state of the economy--the worse off the economy, the shorter and tighter the skirts of the day. But in this case, apparently not.


If it's not the skirt that looks like a sack, it's the top. Christina Applegate, what IS this?


Maybe I'm very gender-normative, but I love it when Susan Sarandon wears dresses instead of pantsuits. But this looks like a nightie. And not in a good way.


The frills around Eva Longoria-Parker's boobs aren't doing her any favors, and the ones around her midsection are even worse. This dress just eats her.


I love Lisa Edelstein and think she is gorgeous. But WHAT is that thing hanging from her shoulder? It's even worse than Nicole Kidman's Oscars 2007 dress with the giant bow.


Now, the good. And maybe this is a sign that I am not so on board with the fashions of the moment? But I didn't see much that was good, and even less that was great.

Claire Danes looks nice. Her boobs appear nonexistent, but the dress has shape and is relatively simple.


I'm torn on Amy Adams. I love the color, obviously, and the fact that the dress has a lovely tailored shape. But that... THING on her torso? Not so sure.


OK, the top parts of the the dress look kind of like boob-wings? But this dress is super flattering on Paula Abdul, and for her, pretty tame. I think she looks great.


I wouldn't have thought that I would love Laura Linney's dress (I would certainly not have ever chosen that color myself), but I kind of do. I'm not sure what it is.


Teri Hatcher's dress is, for me, a clear example of how frills and embellishments can be done well and not look over-the-top. Love.


Rosario Dawson's dress is a bit much, but she can pull it off, and it's definitely dazzling.


I LOVE Viola Davis's dress. Great color, great cut, incredibly flattering. Heart.


So who were your best- and worst-dressed on the red carpet last night?
