Christina Hendricks in pale grey Siriano at the Emmys: awful or improving?

My mom and I were on the phone during the Emmys red carpet show, and when Christina Hendricks came up to talk to Ryan Seacrest, all my mom could say was “BELT.” All I could say was “Jayne Mansfield.” That’s what it was like. Christina is obviously an embarrassment of riches when it comes to T&A, but this dress… ugh. Christina’s Christian Siriano gown was not the right color, first of all. She’s so pale, and I wish she would get out of the habit of wearing such light colors. They wash her out. As for the design… well, at least she was showing off her small waist, you know? I think her boobs are so big, people forget that she has stuff below the boobs. But the dress was very “Ginger Jayne Mansfield.” Which is to say “How can you pay any attention to anything else after seeing that tit buffet?” Sidenote: I was genuinely disappointed that Christina lost Supporting Actress in a Drama.

January Jones in Zac Posen. I hated the dress and I loathed the styling. I might feel differently about the dress if January’s styling had been different, but I can’t unsee this mess. I understand that January’s hair is that color for a film or whatever – but there’s no excuse for that greasy-looking, unflattering hairstyle, nor for that immature-ish makeup job.

Jessica Pare in Jason Wu – she was the best dressed of all of the Mad Men women, I thought. That being said, I blame Mad Men’s 17 LOSSES on her and her stupid Megan character.

Elisabeth Moss in Dolce & Gabbana. It was really awful, all of it. I’m sorry, but she can’t pull off this shade of blonde. If she just went up a few shades, it might be better. But this is awful. And I don’t like the dress at all. The material looks dated and the cut of the dress is terrible.

    Amen. I shiver at the mere sight of her teeth.

    Wow. I hate all of those looks. I didn’t get to watch the Emmy’s (sat down to watch and PTFO on the couch after doing yard work all day) but if this is what I missed, maybe it was a good thing….

    I’ve never seen so many gorgeous women work so hard at looking terrible

    As for Christina: a different color for the dress and lose the belt and it would have really been wonderful.

      I saw her being interviewed on the red carpet and I thought she looked good (compared to her usual atrocities). Does anyone else think she looked better on camera than in the still shots?

      I gotta agree hat she looks pretty bad here….

        I think it depends on the light. The fabric of this dress does have some pinkish shimmer going on which goes great with her skin. But without the reflection she looks bit washed out. But anyway, it´s a great dress for her. Me likey.

        I´m still sad that she didn´t won :( I was all like -> http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_matzatu4Wj1qg7m07o1_500.gif

        I was going to say the same thing – On camera and in natural light, she looked great. And the dress had an almost lavender-silver hue to it. I really liked it on her.

        As for January, NO. No. no. The dress isn’t awful, but her makeup and hair are horribly wrong for the dress. Her hair and makeup *might* have worked with Nicole Kidman’s dress but absolutely not with this dress.

        …And also agree Christina should have won for Best Supporting.

      The draping is great, the belt is WTF and the top is just too constricting. We get it, you have amazing boobs. But making us nervous that they are gonna pop out any minute is not a good look.

      Is this Christian Siriano from Project Runway? Good on him for still working in the industry, and doing red carpet! Must be quite a challenge to dress a va-va-voom woman like Christina compared to the typical runway waifs.

    I’ll give a pass at Christina she has done a lot worst, it’s not that awful.
    I like January Jones dress, don’t know why.
    Elizabeth Moss blonde: NO.

    Atleast in Pictures the boob buffet looks more contained but when she was walking it was all a T&A mess everything going every which way. As For the color I don’t think I’m hating on it because her skin still looks rosie and she doesn’t really look washed out. I do find that a lot of things she wears, ok most things, look weird on her for some reason, whether it’s the color or cut. I feel for her shape.

    Awful. All of them.

    Now, Sofia Vergara…that dress was a tad tacky (just a little bit) but I liked it. It worked for her figure and WHAT. A. FIGURE!!! I couldn’t take my eyes off of her while she was on the red carpet (and on stage). I actually think my mouth watered a little.

    Love everything about Christine’s dress but the color. Put her in a deep purple or jade green, and she’ll look great. Pale girls need contrast colors! It’s the same concept as why darker-skinned or tanned women look great in silvers, whites, etc.!

    from the neck down i think january jones looks great, but her hair and makeup are unforgivably bad.

    christina’s dress is pretty but a dark grey or a midnight blue would have been better with her coloring. the belt cuts her in two.

    elizabeth looks like she’s going to a fancy lunch, not a major award show. she would look better with darker hair.

    jessica pare looks great but her character bugs the crap out of me.

    Christina Hendricks should have won the Emmy! This past year was her best work (brilliant) on top of past years of brilliant work. So disappointed!

    Is January Jones trying to look like a 19 year old anorexic fashion runway model? The hair is all runway. And who would want to look like that? It’s terrible.

    Someone with experience dressing curvy women with extremely large real boobs needs to help Christina Hendricks. The dress itself is not that bad, kinda boring, but it does not flatter her figure. I don’t think that color looks good on her either. She would look great in a deep jewel tone. Her face and hair look fantastic though.
    January Jones looks disgusting. She looks like she slept in her hooker makeup. She looks strung out. The dress is ok, but it is impossible to get past her strung out hooker look. Barf.
    Jessica Pare looks very pretty. Her dress is simple,but looks great on her.
    Oh Elizabeth Moss, WHY? She is so adorable, but that dress is wonky. Everything about it, the shape, the print, just no good.

  18. I think she looks stunning. This dress perfectly accenturates her beautiful body and look, very old Hollywood.

    Jessica looks okay, her dress i very simple but it works with her styling.

    January and Elizabeth look like crap. I know Christina gets a lot of hate for her style but IMO these two are always SO MUCH WORSE. And it’s particulary sad in JJ’s case, because she is so beautiful on the show.

    January Jones dress was interesting styling killed it, Elizabeth Moss just no.

    Christina Hendricks should thank Julianna Margulies for her terrible taste or she would have been the worst dressed of the night. CH’s dress was beautiful and maybe if she and purchased her size it wouldn’t have been so terrible. But seriously what is going on with the hair and makeup she looked like like a trainwreck.

    I don’t understand why this woman insists on dressing like an ugly drunk cross between Lucielle Ball and Betty Boop.

    I don’t care what Christina wears. She is gorgeous even without the implants. She has the perfect body. This skinny crap didn’t really catch on until the 80′s with all the cocaine love. Entertainment can keep the Pro-ANA types crafted for pansexual Hollywood men who really want teenaged boys. Before then it was all about Christina’s body type. I’m past ready to see beautiful skin, curves, pretty smiles, and many more cute redheads.

    The colour was awful but they style wasn’t all bad. I’ve seen her in worse…much, much worse! And really with knockers that gigantic, to quote Joe Simpson, “You can’t cover those suckers up.”

    Jessica Pare looks alright (I, too, blame the loss on her stuipd Megan character); January Jones looks TERRIBLE, the worst – easily.

    I like Elisabeth Moss’ hair that blonde and I really liked her dress.

    3 things I took away from this post:
    - tit buffet
    - MM’s beautiful women need new stylists and makeup artists
    - Megan is DEFINITELY the reason they were shutout. “Teeth” as my husban likes to call her, screwed up every scene she was in or even mentioned in. I hope she leaves Don next season and we never hear from her again. Then he can go back to his womanizing, boozing, macho self. Damn I love him.

    Time to put down the rose-coloured glasses. I’m going going to be controversial and assume CH isn’t the only person on the planet with a large chest and with that in mind decide that after all of these years that *that* isn’t her problem. Her ‘problem’ is that she has no taste, is allergic to learning and is allergic to fabric because it’s the same crap she always wears with the same crap result.

    I’m sorry, people but your girl crush is one of the worst-dressed women in Hollywood and all of the holy water you pitch at me for not loving a stranger’s wardrobe won’t change it.

    *

    The Megan character has been a problem, yes, but there were a A LOT of ‘I’m SO profound and troubled, give me the Emmy!’ moments in this season. After a while, assholes being assholes and resolutely hating their spouses (I think Ken and Cynthia like each other, but who else, like, in this show’s history?) is wheel-spinning at this point. Being stylish isn’t enough, now.

    *

    Too bad about JJs head, that would’ve made the difference. EMs hair should be lighter or should be that honey blonde colour she had going (that suited a bit more length) when she was divorcing Fred Armisen.

    Breakdown

    Christina: my soul sister in clevage. I feel your pain because anything that is not black will draw attention to those nunga nungas. But hey defying gravity is not always necessary. A black empire dress with gold detailing, like a grecian goddess of hades would be spectaculare.even a dark green ensemble and gold serpentine jewelry would work. And emilio phccie has the hottest grecianstilettos out right now. The boobies would be minimized but still on display and Seriano could take a break from trying to put Mackie and Armani’s lookbooks together. Think about this during awards season.

    JJ: look, I like the dress. It’s just not right for her. I see this dress on a Cbristina Ricci. I see chunky layered hair the color of coal or even some quirky accessories to go with it. JJ IS NOT EDGY!

    Hendricks doesn’t know how to dress for her body… and clearly no one around her know how to wrangle those curves either. It’s just a damn shame, so sad on so many levels. I think Jones looked okay, very Rooney Mara in her appearances for TGWTDT. Pare looked great, very elegant… but who is she? And Moss, well, let’s just say we know she was never part of the ‘in’ crowd. I’m sure she thinks the hair and the dress are so high fashion and edgy, but they really just scream “I styled myself, can you tell?”

    To be fair, I’d think it would be really, really tough to find dresses which flatter a figure like Hendricks’. Her curves are so VA-VOOM that most things are going to look like they don’t fit on one end or the other.
