This is just a little throwaway blurb from US Weekly, but it cracked me up since we do it here, too. Julianna Margulies’ husband is so pretty-hot that whenever we cover a story on the two of them at an event, we just can’t NOT mention it. The guy is lovely. He’s the type of dude that you see and do a double-take for while trying not to look obvious. You wait a beat, try to act like you’re interested in something else in his general area, and look back. (Why is it that women are so good at this but men are so obvious when they check something out? I’ve learned to never say to my husband “don’t look now, but…” since he looks right at that moment.)

Anyway Julianna wants us to know that people regularly tell her to her face that her husband is incredibly hot. She probably gets flattered, but it’s not like she’s going to admit that. She said that it makes her “feel bad” since her man is also a lawyer who got his degree from Harvard, and he’s not just gorgeous. So is that a humble brag? Yeah, my man is perfection and he’s a lawyer too. Here’s more, from US:

Julianna Margulies wants to world to know that Keith Lieberthal is more than just a pretty face. “I feel bad because people are like, ‘Oh, your husband is so hot,’” the Good Wife star, 46, has sad. “Truth is, he is unbelievably bright.”

Not that she can blame too much. When the pair met in 2006, she was drawn to his looks. “I said to him, ‘I think you are so handsome,’” she admitted. Once she learned the Harvard-educated lawyer, 40, was Jewish, she was smitten. “It kept getting better!” she’s joked.

Aw that’s sweet! And these two have that “lookalike” thing going on that I wrote about in that recent post on Leighton Meester and Adam Brody. They just look like they should be together. Gah I’m such a sap.

Julianna and her man are shown at the Producers Guild Awards on 1-26-13 and also at the Primetime Emmy Awards on 9-23-12. She’s shown yesterday at an event co-hosted by LEGO at a Barnes and Noble in New York called ‘Read, Build, Play.’ Those photos are so cute! Credit: WENN.com

When the E! camera panned to Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s arrival at the SAGs, I got a little jolt of hope that these two might actually walk a red carpet together. Jen whispered something in Ben’s ear, Ben kissed her affectionately, and I thought “this is it, we’re going to get photos of them together on the red carpet for the first time since that bad superhero movie!” But no, it didn’t happen. Ben talked to Giuliana and she asked him where Jennifer was, and he was all “long gone,” as if it were Jen’s decision not to do an interview with him because she was too busy posing. He did thank her at the beginning of his acceptance speech, when Argo took home the actor for best ensemble cast.

Ben’s speech came right at the end of the night, and he ended it on a perfect note. He was so psyched and he gave such a nice tribute to the other actors, and actors in general. (You can watch his speech here.) As Kaiser mentioned, I really think Argo could bring it home for best picture at the Oscars. The Academy Members get their ballots right around now, and they’re going to remember Ben’s awesome speech at the SAGs.

In term’s of Jennifer Garner’s gold gown, I was disappointed. Let me put it this way, I thought she looked hot in spite of the dress. It was probably the color, which kind of washed her out. Maybe the color looked prettier in person than it did on camera. I did like her makeup and her loose curls. I don’t remember ever seeing her hair like that in the past, and I like that she changed it up.

Viola Davis was one of last night’s presenters and she wore this bright teal one-shoulder Monique Lhuillier. I like that she chose such a bright color, and that she went with her natural hair. Plus her orange earrings are a nice pop of contrast. This is a gorgeous gown and a sophisticated look. Something rude: her shoes are kind of trashy.

Also looking bright we have Nina Dobrev in shocking pink Elie Saab, a designer she’s worn in the past. This dress is so sleek and gorgeous, and Nina rocks it as usual. I love to see what she wears to events, she’s usually spot on.

In contrast Julianna Margulies wore this black and white Chado Ralph Rucci gown that was like an uglier version of Marion Cotillard’s two-tone dress. I don’t like the way the skirt scoops up into the bustline, and I dislike the cut and the dripping asymmetric black band at the hemline. It’s a bizarre dress that strives to be contemporary and just fails, in my opinion. I’m not a fan of her fashion in general. Her husband is so hot, I have to say.

Bonus: Jennifer Garner and Julianne Moore!

I wasn’t expecting to see Salma Hayek on the carpet, and just like Kate Hudson, it felt like… no one was really excited to see her. Like, Salma, Kate and J.Lo come to the opening of an envelope these days and people are just bored with seeing them on EVERY red carpet. Salma’s Gucci gown was pretty-ish. It was really simple and basic, save for the enormous hip bow which could have been mistaken for a peplum. Did anyone else see how Salma was posing on the carpet? She kept throwing her head back and shaking out her hair and lifting her arms like the red carpet was a Fellini film or something. Try-hard. LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME. I guess she was happy to have a night away from her husband? He wasn’t there…? Interesting.

Giuliana Rancic in Celia Kritharioti – I just don’t understand why she changed out of her lilac dress which she wore in the pre-show red carpet special. That dress was really pretty. This one was terrible. Insert joke about goth drag queens or whorehouse madams here.

Michelle Dockery (from Downton Abbey) in Alexander McQueen. I think this might have been the best example of McQueen on last night’s carpet – I preferred it to Nicole Kidman’s McQueen and Kate Hudson’s.

Julianna Margulies in Emilio Pucci – I hated this. I hated her ponytail, I hated the fact that the dress wasn’t lined, I hated the lace throughout the skirt, and I hate that she didn’t win. I love her cute husband, though.

Katie Holmes attended the Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl’s launch in New York City last night, and she looks fantastic. This little black, ruched dress fits her figure perfectly and highlights her lovely, post-Tom waistline. Katie and Suri are doing well in the big city, and Katie always does the daily school run to Suri’s new school, which is located very close to their Chelsea apartment. Still no sign of Tom after more than ten weeks of absence, but whatever.

As for this look, Katie not only looks good in the dress did very well in the makeup and hair department as well. Those long, loose curls lend her a very youthful appearance, which is also aided by that dewy complexion once again.

Here’s Katie posing with Narciso Rodriguez himself. Now there’s a man who owns his height with no lifts required! Katie should get on that.

Emma Roberts and Julianna Margulies were also at the event, and it looks like they drew the short end of the stick with these color-blocked dresses. To make matters somewhat worse, Julianne got stuck with a black and white “illusion” dress. Oh how I wish Stella McCartney had never started that trend.

Julianna Margulies was one of my favorites last night, although I’m not sure these photos show exactly how pretty this Giambattista Valli dress was. What I like about Julianna is, for the most part, she dresses her age, she knows what looks good on her body, and she usually puts in the effort. Now, sometimes it falls flat, but this was not one of those times. The fabric was so beautiful, and it just popped on a pale brunette like Julianna. I was so crazy about her (IMO) too-flat hairstyle or what I think is some Botoxing, but still… she was one of my faves.

Here’s Julianna’s Good Wife costar, and one of my favorite people, Archie Panjabi. The way Archie is styled on the show, she always looks so sexy and badass, so much leather and great boots and her hair is always pulled back. When her hair is down, I think she looks “more Indian” if that’s not awkward phrasing. Does it make a difference if I’m Indian-American? She looks beautiful in Randi Rahm gown, but I would like to see her hair back.

Kat Dennings in J.Mendel… this was a beautiful color on her, and it’s a really pretty dress overall. But GOOD LORD this girl’s got an enormous rack. I was genuinely concerned that she was going to fall out of that strapless gown. STRAPS. She needs straps.

I knew that Kristen Stewart would at least show up for Robert Pattinson‘s big Cannes premiere of Cosmopolis, but she did more than just turn up and do her infamous eye roll. Kristen probably looks better here than I’ve ever seen her look before! She donned a red Reem Acra gown and looks unbelievably sexy here. In fact, Kaiser and I have both been sitting here and admiring how perky her boobs are in this dress. Did you even realize that KStew had boobs before she wore this dress? Probably not.

Bright red lipstick and glammed up hair and minimal accessories really set off the whole package, and while Kaiser doesn’t really like the lace detail on the sides and back, I do for very unexplained reasons.

But KStew didn’t walk the red carpet alone. Her escort was Tom Sturridge, also known as Rob’s BFF and Sienna Miller’s baby daddy. I guess Tom makes a good enough escort despite the scrunchie. God, I wish he’d just cut that thing off.

Kristen looked so good at this premiere that I almost forgot that she didn’t even star within the movie. So let’s check on Rob and his co-stars, shall we?

Sarah Gadon wore a strapless, royal blue Jason Wu dress with a black waistband. It was kind of meh, but so is Sarah. As for Rob, he pulled some excellent faces on his way into the theater.

Of course, there were lots of other gorgeous ladies on the red carpet, and several of them gave Kristen a run for her proverbial money by wearing red dresses as well. Some were more appropriate than … others.

Natasha Poly probably thought she was bringing it in this trashy-looking scarlet cutout dress, but she looked like she was begging for attention. Did she realize that the leading man’s girlfriend would also be wearing a sexy red gown? Probably not, but Natasha overdid it in a big way here.

In contrast, Beatrice Rose did better in red than Natasha did. She made a statement but didn’t go overboard.

Julianna Margulies didn’t look like a showoff at all in red in this Reed Krakoff color-block dress. Even with a strapless gown, Julianna manages to somehow look demure.

Next came a sea of greens and blues for several other ladies in attendance.

Doutzen Kroes wore this slightly ugly sequined Elie Saab gown with a black waistband. Her purposely messy hair and flawless makeup redeemed her look somewhat.

Lily Donaldson looked really cute in this green number. She’s an effortless beauty.

Finally, we have Aishwarya Rai in a midnight blue, embroidered Elie Saab couture gown. She is pure class and looked amazing.

These are photos of Julianna Margulies, fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez (the shorter guy) and JM’s husband (the taller guy) at last night’s El Museo Del Barrio gala. Narciso was being honored, and his girl Julianna was the one who got to present him with “the award for artistic achievement to honor his career and longtime patronage to El Museo del Barrio.” Considering lots of ladies love Narciso (Claire Danes, Sharon Stone, FLOTUS), I think Julianna was a good choice to represent Narciso’s friendships within the industry.

As for Julianna… doesn’t she looks great here? CB and I were just discussing The Good Wife and how… weird/different her face sometimes looks on that show. Don’t get me wrong – I like JM a great deal, as a person and on the show. But over the past year especially, she’s been looking rather puffy and Botoxy. She looks deflated here – in a good way. CB says she’s definitely lost some weight, but I think it’s just JM’s face that looks so much better. Plus, great makeup, good hair and a flattering, pretty dress.

Re: The Good Wife. Is anyone else obsessed with the show? What did you make of the “cliffhanger”? Weirdest non-cliffhanger ever as far as some of the major characters, although I do need to see what happens with Kalinda and her ex-husband (current husband?). Who do you think her ex will be? I mean, what actor will they get? I hope they get someone really big and sketchy – it’s always fun to see Kalinda take down a big guy (with a baseball bat!).

These are just some extra ladies from the Screen Actors Guild Awards that I wanted to cover. Does it matter that they’re all over 40? Does it matter that they all look kind of Botoxy? Does it matter that they’re all very talented and really hot? Does it matter that they were all up for awards for work they did in television? Television: Where over-40 actresses go to do great work once Hollywood thinks they’re “over.” Let’s start with one of my favorites, Kyra Sedgwick, BRENDA LEIGH (!!) from The Closer. Kyra wore this cut-out Emilio Pucci gown that for whatever reason really works on her. I’m mystified as to why I like her in this revealing, sexy gown, in this odd color (in these photos it looks red, but it was more orange on television), with her hair down and everything. I think it’s because she just looks so sexy, right? It just works on her, and her body looks so, so good. The Bacon looks good too!

Next up: Diane Lane and Josh Brolin. Diane was nominated for her TV movie role in Cinema Verite. Diane wore this beautiful David Meister gown, which was a great color for her. She also did her (too long) hair in a ponytail, which was one of the bigger hair trends last night – so many girls did ponytails, it was weird. For Diane, I’m not a big fan of the ponytail, but overall, I thought she looked really good. Plus, I like it when Josh comes out to support her rather than vice versa.

Now, I’ve grown to love Julianna Margulies. I’ve recently gotten into The Good Wife, and she’s doing really wonderful work on that show. In the first two seasons, Julianna looks great – AND like a woman in her 40s. But nowadays, she looks odd to me. At the Globes, she looked like a Botox-Monster, and she’s still looking “off” to me in these photos too. Her gown was Calvin Klein, by the way – it looked almost identical to Katrina Bowen’s, who was on E! right before Julianna. Rough. Oh, and what was with the earrings?!?! Damn it, Julianna. At least her husband is super-cute.

One of the things I noticed last night while watching the Globes was just how pulled and frozen everyone looked. It was hard not to see that just about every woman’s face was messed with, some noticeably more than others. So here we have Julianna Margulies, who has natural looking lines but still she looks very Botoxy to me. She’s been that way for a while though. I’m not a fan of her shiny tight purple Naeem Khan gown. I don’t like the very plain, formfitting style of the dress. Coupled with her tightly pulled back hair, it’s too sleek a look. Those green statement earrings are hot, and I do like the open back of the dress.

Jessica Alba wore a lighter shade of purple in studded sequin Gucci. She looks so fresh and glossy in photos, although her spray tan was very obvious looking on camera. I love the style of the dress, especially the bustline, the fitted waist and the slight delicate tail, but something about the pattern is off to me. While the dress was a little strange, overall this look was a win for Jessica.

Laura Linney made me a little sad last night. I love her and I wanted to see her well styled, but her makeup was just so bad. Someone rimmed the membranes of her eyes with dark black liner, making her look squinty, and then slapped some purple eyeshadow on her like a teenager trying out some sparkly Wet and Wild before the Junior prom. It’s so wrong. Her J. Mendel dress was theoretically amazing. I like the modern style and find the slight fold over the asymmetric neckline so clever. Coupled with her styling though, the dress just didn’t pop for her. Those star earrings are from Fragments and they’re cute, but they’re not bold enough for the red carpet. Laura was up for best Actress in a TV Comedy Series, which went to Laura Dern.

I love Andie MacDowell and one of my favorite things about her has been the fact that she looks so naturally beautiful. She’s gorgeous, she seems down-to-earth when I’ve seen her interviewed, and because she seems all natural she’s the perfect spokeswoman for L’oreal. It makes me sad, then, to see her looking all shiny and pulled at the L’oreal Legends Gala last night.

Keep in mind, though, that Andie MacDowell is fifty freaking three years old! I thought she was a hot looking 45, honestly, and I’ve covered her several times here and still had to look up her age. Some of you are going to yell at me and tell me she’s not getting anything done since she has some natural crow’s feet. She looks very waxy and fake to me, and like she’s trying to smile and can only wince. Whatever she’s doing, she hasn’t gone overboard yet and it’s possible the fillers or Botox she’s using will settle. For comparison here are two earlier photos of her. She looks different now, doesn’t she? Also, she’s shown below with her 16 year-old daughter, Sarah Margaret, she’s so pretty!

Oh and in terms of the fashion – both Andie and her daughter’s dresses are lovely. I really like Andie’s full length sparkling v-neck dress. Her daughter’s light blue chiffon gown has a subtle lace panel on the skirt and bow detail at the bodice. It’s very elegant yet sweet and age-appropriate. Sarah is going to be a stunner.

Andie In March, 2011:

In April, 2010:

Speaking of waxy, here’s Julianna Margulies in red. Her dress is ok. I don’t particularly like the way it’s draped but it’s not bad. Those shoes look orthopedic though! From the side they’re prettier with the heel, but from the front they look like sandals you’d wear around the house.

Kerry Washington wore a very ugly loose bronze dress that did nothing for her gorgeous figure. The cut is bizarre and it has some sort of scarf thing trailing down the back. I like her stacked necklaces and matching earrings though.

This woman Aimee Mullins is a double amputee and an accomplished athlete. But I have to point out that she has Wilma Flintstone hair. That dress looks like it could be a Halloween costume too.

Taraji P. Henson was so hot in form fitting blue. The shoes don’t seem to go with that dress, but I’ll overlook it.

Kelly Rutherford really bugs me for some reason. I can’t explain it really. This dress squashes her boobs and she needs to fill in those eyebrows. Looks like she filled in her cheeks pretty well.

Michael Michele is recognizable to me, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen her. IMDB reminds me that she was on “Homicide” and “ER.” She really owned the red carpet in that teal one shoulder dress. Her feet look like they’re hanging out of her shoes though. She’s another one that looks Botoxy to me. They pretty much all do. Maybe Andie MacDowell really is natural-looking – in comparison.
