I’m a sucker for a top hat … … and I love a mullet outfit almost as much as I love a mullet hairstyle … … so I appreciated Amy Sherman-Palladino’s look at tonight’s Emmy awards.

My Best Dressed at the 2017 Emmys Is …
I’m disgusted that the 2017 Emmy Awards gave Sean Spicer the opportunity to play all cutesy and “in on the joke” during the broadcast last night. For a time, Spicer was the No. 1 liar for the white-supremacist president who is trying to tear apart our democracy. This freaky eater of gum doesn’t deserve a…
Emmy Awards Postscript
I forgot to include Kerry Washington in last night’s post on the fashion at the Emmys. Embed from Getty Images Her sleek, cut-out dress by Brandon Maxwell — combined with her advanced pregnancy — was definitely a “Wear What You Want” look. I approve! Judith Light still gets the award though. Separately, Fast Company wrote…
My Best Dressed at the 2016 Emmy Awards Is …
The television folks at the Emmy Awards don’t always give great red carpet, but tonight’s 2016 event impressed me. First of all, Kristen Bell’s Zuhair Murad was one of the most beautiful gowns I’ve seen in a long time. Embed from Getty Images I would wear that in a hot second! Like Bell, Sarah Paulson…
10 Years Ago: MrB at the Emmys
The Emmys are on tonight. Normally, on Emmy night, I like to show off MrB’s Emmy. But I don’t think I’ve ever shared this photo of MrB holding his Emmy in 2006. Embed from Getty Images MrB received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Business & Financial Reporting from the National Academy of Television Arts &…
My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Woody and Matthew
Awards-show fashion has been all about the men this year. Once again, my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want award goes to the dudes. My Emmy favorites were Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, stars of HBO’s True Detective, who wore coordinated tuxes in autumnal hues. #454163748 / gettyimages.com Five years ago, people would have made…
My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Ummm …
I didn’t watch last night’s Emmys live, because I was at a concert. I sure didn’t miss anything fashion-wise. I thought last year’s Emmys were uninspiring from a style perspective, but this year was even worse. There was exactly one gown that I would want to wear myself: Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery’s red-and-burgundy Prada….
My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Emilia Clarke
Unlike this year’s Golden Globes and SAG Awards, the Emmy Awards didn’t inspire me to bestow my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award upon anyone. Too much cement, too many safe looks. But there was one dress that made me think, “I would wear that”: Emilia Clarke’s (Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones)…
Cement Strikes Back at the Emmys
Two years ago, I spent the Oscars complaining about the popularity of dresses in hues that reminded me of cement. Alas, the cement-colored dresses are back at tonight’s Emmy Awards. Here are two: Also representing the sidewalk were Morena Baccarin of Homeland in Basil Soda, Sarah Hyland of Modern Family in Marchesa, and Christina Hendricks…
One Sample Size Does Not Fit All. Deal With It.
Did you know the world revolved around voluptuous Mad Men star Christina Hendricks? Neither did I! Fortunately, I read New York Magazine’s The Cut blog, which alerted me to the fact via a story about Hendricks that ran in the The Daily Record of Scotland. The Record quoted her as saying: “People have been saying…
