Jennifer Lopez in Valentino at the Tony Awards: gorgeous or poorly styled?

wenn22568330

The Tony Awards were held last night and CBS is really trying to make the Tonys into, like, the Oscars of the theater world. The Tonys already are the Oscars of the theater world, but what I mean is that there’s an effort underway to make the Tonys into a major fashion event, with big-name celebrities in attendance. The message seems to be that regular old theater stars are not enough. You can see the list of this year’s Tony Award winners here. We’re just going to be talking about fashion in our coverage.

Jennifer Lopez was one of the biggest names at the Tonys. She wore this Maison Valentino Spring 2015 Couture gown with a starburst theme. We’ve already seen some of the Valentino gowns with the star theme (at Cannes), but I really like this. I’m glad she’s not wearing some body-con Zuhair Murad gown LIKE ALWAYS. But I do have to laugh at her styling – poor J.Lo. She’s always pissing off her hair and makeup people and you can tell.

Ashley Greene in Jason Wu. I have no idea why she was there or why her date was Jason Wu. This is not Wu’s best design either.

Rose Byrne in Delpozo. Rose was one of my picks for worst dressed. Such a terrible thing to do to such a pretty woman!

Vanessa Hudgens in Naeem Khan. Honestly, even though it was over the top, I really liked this. It was theater, it was drama! Good for her.

wenn22568318

Carey Mulligan in Balenciaga. She’s obviously knocked up, so I don’t know why we should even pretend to not notice it when she’s wearing an ugly tube.

Ivanka Trump in Prabal Gurung. Honestly, this was one of my favorite looks of the night.

And finally, Kat Dennings and Josh Groban. I hope these two get married, they’re really sweet together!

    She looks gorgeous – both her hair and her makeup are very flattering, yet different for her. I like it.

    • qwerty says:

      Yeah… this is J.Lo we’re talking about. You haven’t seen many of her pics if you think THIS is poorly styled. Anything other than a vajazzled pantyhose is great in my opinion.

    • Nikki L. says:

      I like it, but the corset gave her side-boob shelf. Could have been tailored better.

    • kirta says:

      I really like that she’s branching out from her normal nude-pinkey princess gowns. I also think the way her hair is styled and the color look absolutely stunning on her! Also her lipstick is a big change, and I like that 2nd picture of her where she seems to have a genuine, shy smile instead of her “sexy – opened mouth” thing that she always does!

      Rose Byrne is always stunning. What a beautiful lady. But I always thing the big, exposed zipper thing always looks cheap.

  2. Kiddo says:

    Vanessa Hudgens for the win.

  3. Kitten says:

    You KNOW it’s an awful dress when it makes Rose Byrne look bad.

  4. Denisemich says:

    Ms. Mulligan is very obviously preggers. JLO looks okay. But I don’t think that blue works for her.

  5. Tig says:

    FINALLY! I have been waiting for a Tony fashion post!! Agree with JLo- love the dress, but hair and make up were off. Sutton Foster dress was horrific. So happy to see Kelli get here well deserved Tony- but didn’t like the length of her gown. Too funny to see Debra Messing and Anna C present together wearing essentially the same dress- someone must have missed a memo!! But they handled it fine. Everyone knew Helen Mirren would win, inc her, so wish she had upped her gown game.

    • boredblond says:

      I was thinking, by the looks they gave each other, that the similar dress thing was planned..? Everyone looked pretty good except rose b..looked like retro call girl

  6. Abbott says:

    They really are trying to make the Tony’s a big event. I hoped they were better than that, inviting some of these people. Next we’ll see the Blurred Lines lady at the Nobel Prize Banquet.

    • Kelly says:

      Seriously, don’t understand why she would be there.

    • Kiki04 says:

      Agree with Kelly, plus I thought her bit on the Tonys was very cringeworthy when it clearly shouldn’t have been…….

    • Jegede says:

      I think now these award shows, appreciate there is an exclusivity to the work but are also wary of, in the words of one critic, “esoteric-ing themselves out of relevance”.

  7. Kelly says:

    I like the stars on J.Lo’s dress, but don’t think that’s the best color for her. I wish she classed it up more!

    I think Carey Mulligan may have more than a baby bump in her dress…maybe a small person, a bag carrier… there’s certainly room.

  8. Franca says:

    There is something so incredibly appealing about Carey’s face. I find her so beautiful and love her look here.

    • Naddie says:

      I feel the same way, but with Vanessa Hudgens’s face. Just catches my eye everytime.

    • EN says:

      I like Carey Mulligan’s looks as well. I don’t know what it is, but whatever is special about her face reminds me of Emily Watson and Helena Boham, I am not sure why.

  9. JudyK says:

    Are you sure that’s Jennifer Lopez…LOL. I honestly did not recognize her.

    • Cran says:

      There is a vintage Madonna look about her makeup. Somewhere about the Material Girls time.

    • Pace U. says:

      LOL I know, I can’t figure out why some are ignoring JLO’s very obvious Botox to the point where her face has no expression anymore. Her forehead has a big dent on the right side too at the hairline, like she had an injection and it’s still settling.

      The NYPost had a blurb in one of their columns that JLO had a facelift and major work, all nicely done of course.

      That said she’s still very beautiful but I totally see work on her face.

      • Reeely?? says:

        JLO looks super weird. She looks young/old and barely recognizable. I do like the hair, but what should be “fresh” just looks frumpy.

  10. Regina Phalange says:

    Wow, JLo’s real skin colour!

  11. kiren says:

    Love the direction JLo is taking here, but yep her hair and makeup crews aren’t doing her any favors! I like the hair length, I like the more stately dress, if only her boobs weren’t squeezed and bobbing over.

    Rose Byrne is stunning and I love her with Bobby C, but, this dress is quite unfortunate. I don’t get the trend of a wide deep plunging V and major cleavage — not flattering on anyone. I can’t imagine the amount of boob tape involved.

    Vanessa is absolutely GLOWING! She looks so happy in all of the street photos since she started the Gigi gig. She looks comfortable in this gown, which is so feminine, flirty, so fun. And, I believe it has a BUSTLE!

    • kaligula says:

      So her and Bobby C. are an official thing?? He is so attractive. Hope he’s not a jerk.

  12. Hautie says:

    Jennifer looks lovely.

    The blue gown is a nice change up for her. I am tired of all the naked glitter gowns.

    And her hair is her own. No wigs. And she does have a high fore head. So the oddity of her side bangs, is from that. But she gets points, for deciding to go with her natural hair.

    I also love that dress that Vanessa is wearing. That is a great halter dress. And it is a great Summer dress.

    I do not understand why more ladies don’t pick pretty Summer gowns. Instead of the heavy looking Winter gowns. When we know how hot and muggy it is outside.

  13. MediaMaven says:

    Bobby Cannavale for the win!

  14. smcollins says:

    I think JLo looked lovely. It was a nice departure from her usual plunging necklines and “I’m so sexy” hair & makeup. She should do this more often. 🙂

  15. Lara K says:

    Ashley Greene’s dress looks like lizard vomit. That’s all I got.

  16. Cara says:

    JLo needs to decide if she’s going to play up eyes or lips- the smokey plum eyes versus the red lips= Face looks like a bruise.

    • kaligula says:

      Ouch!! But now that you say that I can see that yes, it’s overdone. I bet it looked better in person.

  17. meme says:

    This is very sad. Next year Kimbecile will probably be there and bring her kids.

  18. bella says:

    it’s got to be the color of jlo’s hair that’s not doing her any favors.
    and that styling.
    flat styles on her don’t work, unless it’s an updo or ponytail.
    would love the dress on her if the boobs weren’t pouring out…she looks like she’s in pain.

    anyone else think she’s involved in the affleck/garner marriage shakeup?
    i do.
    especially since she’s bringing her young baby bear boy toy out in public again all of a sudden.

    ivanka trump is simply gorgeous.
    the face of an angel.

    • Jayna says:

      No one with any sense thinks she and Ben are involved. He was crazy for her in the beginning. By the end he was with a stripper. Then called off the wedding five days before. They stayed together a few months after so as n ot to humiliate J-LO but he barely saw her, hoping she would just end it. She didn’t until he refused to come to her big New Year’s Eve bash. Humiliated she cancelled the party and they announced they had split for good. That ship has sailed. Jennifer and her entourage and high maintenance aren’t a turn on for him. If you see Ben having an affair and leaving his marriage, it will be with some “new” thing that he has developed a mad crush on and everything is new and fresh and rosy and they are amazing because they are all new to him and probably a much younger woman than him.

      • bella says:

        are you saying i don’t have “good sense?’
        LOL

        i reiterate my POV.
        10-1 they are involved.
        and i base this on the word around boston…

        time will tell…

      • Pace U. says:

        If Ben wanted JLO he could have had her years ago. Ben humiliated JLO, dumped her at the alter basically.

        He will always be the One Guy, she could NOT talk into going through with marriage.

  19. Naddie says:

    Vanessa is the best one. Jennifer Lopez looks stubby in this dress, specially the upper part of her body (still, a better look than her usual naked looks).

  20. EN says:

    And so it begins, JLo doesn’t look like herself anymore. It looks like she got some fillers.

    • JenniferJustice says:

      Was waiting for someone to mention this. I noticed right away it doesn’t even look like her. Can’t put my finger on it, but something is definitely different.

  21. Mimz says:

    JLo is fine. No bodycon see-through stuff and it looks good. The hair not so much but I guess she’s trying to figure out what to do with the short hair.
    My favorite dresses are JLO and Kat Dennings. Really really dislike Ivanka’s sheer cutouts there.

  22. InvaderTak says:

    Kat’s kitties look like they’re in pain. But I guess there’s not much she can do. Jlo look a matronly for the first time ever. I think its the hair.

  23. Jess says:

    I think she looks good, finally something different!

  24. Rachel says:

    There was a story on GMA this morning about JLo being charged with something like public indecency in Morocco after a recent concert . Her moves were too salacious If convicted she could face up to two years in prison. Obviously, that would never happen, but just an interesting sidenote.

    • Pace U. says:

      Lol. Wonder what she did? Lol

    • Reeely?? says:

      I heard Morocco is very Muslim. I hope this is a rumour. JLO can be annoying but she’s still Jenny from the block, a national treasure.

  25. capepopsie says:

    Rose Byrne´s dress looks like a parcel burst open.
    Poor her!

  26. kri says:

    JLO in that get up is very Glenda The Good Witch to me. I love Vanessa here. Gorgeous!

  27. QQ says:

    Meh! i kind of agree with everyone, im tired of seeing her looking the color of a carrot with hosiery dresses on showing me everything but her cervix wearing 10 pounds of weave: this is by default a WIN

    I don’t Find Rose’s dress that Execrable at all, Not in a Carpet where Kendull Jenner and Kellan Lutz Soul Sister in Overreaching ( Ashley Greene) show Up

    Huzzah to the Girl with the Shrill voice from Thor For Not Showing us Her Sweater Meat Hiked up to Just Under her chin as she is Wont to do, This is a Win for Us All

    Carey Mullingan Can Stay home and put her feet up already if the option is doing Fug stiff dresses and Looking like a Puppy about to Pre-cry in all pics

  28. Otaku Fairy says:

    I actually kind of like Carey Mulligan’s dress. The rest are ok.

  29. GlimmerBunny says:

    JLo’s dress is one of the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever seen, but I wish it was on Rose, Carey or even Vanessa. It just doesn’t suit her look IMO.

    Vanessa’s dress is really pretty too.

  30. LadyoftheLoch says:

    Love the dress – it reminds me of a Sun Moon & Stars perfume bottle from the ’90s – just not on her. She looks sort of billowing in it, like she’s ready to climb up onto the pointy end of a ship. Vanessa ‘s gown is stunning.

  31. ¡mire usted! says:

    I love this look on Jennifer Lopez. It’s a beautiful classy dress and it’s still sexy around her bosom. I like the new hair style too. Maybe a little longer? I agree the make up needs to be a little lighter but over all this is a great look for her. Now I hope it attracts men her own age! LOL

  32. krtmom says:

    Why was she even there? Half of those people had no business being there…the Jenner sisters? Really?

    • kirta says:

      IKR?!? Don’t even get me started on Cannes. Reality stars should not be allowed on the red carpet at Cannes…..in my humble opinion.

  33. LA Juice says:

    Forget JLo- can we talk about how fabulous Bernadette Peters looked- or how weird Sting’s beard looked, or how about the fact that Jizzstain Lewinsky was there, in a Horrid red dress that even my Memaw wouldn’t be caught dead in at an enemy’s wedding?

    And Alan Cumming, I love you darling, but No! on the shorts. no no no, forever no. Unless you wore the blue short suit as some sort of shade toward Jizzy, then I take it all back and you are a prince.
