The Fox All-Star party at Soho House in West Hollywood last Thursday played a little free and loose with the the moniker “All-Star” (I’m looking at you Jenny McCarthy and Sinbad). Yhe fashions were hit and miss, as you’d expect at a Hollywood press event. Singer Meghan Trainor was trying hard to bring lounge wear back in a glittery robe/dress from Victoria Hayes, paired with marabou-topped sandals and obnoxiously long extensions. When I saw this, the only way I could describe this look was to steal some inspiration from one of her hits…”The robe is NO, the shoes are NO, the extensions are NO. You need to let ’em go, need to let ’em go. Nah to the ah to the, no, no, no.”
Two of the stars from my new favorite show, Pose, were in attendance. Mj Rodriguez, who plays Blanca, and the uber elegant Dominique Jackson, who plays Electra, were at the event (along with show writers Our Lady J and Janet Mock). Mj was looking fierce in a leather mini-dress paired with cute ankle boots. Dominique looked pretty in pink in a lovely, delicate mini-dress of her own. These women are gorgeous.
Speaking of gorgeous, let’s talk about the goddess, Angela Bassett. The 59-year-old actress looked dazzling in a black ensemble. My only complaint is why I can’t look this amazing…actually it’s the too-long pants. I love shoes and I need to see what footwear she’s working with.
Tom & Lorenzo commented that Jennifer Love Hewitt’s floral print outfit was a “booby church dress” and I can’t think of a better description. Her hair and makeup look nice, so there’s that.
And lastly, the “cutest cast award” for the evening goes to Chris Geere, Aya Cash, Kether Donohue and Desmin Borges of You’re the Worst. Their latest (and sadly, last) season airs this fall. I want to have so many Sunday Fundays with these people.

I see Meghan Trainor is wearing the latest in disco bathrobe chic.
can someone explain to me why she exists?
For the same reason you exist. A product of human reproduction.
Meghan looks like Marty’s mum in Biff’s (Trump) Tower in Back to the Future 2
Her jewellery looks like it was 80% off at Claire’s.
I thought Meghan was Paris Hilton from the header photo. NO to those extensions. The dress wouldn’t be so bad if it was shorter and not so long in the sleeves…
Jennifer love Hewitt is wearing the dress I would wear to weddings. Like it’s the exact silhouette I look for in this post-two-pregnancies body. I agree that it looks like a church dress. But I want it in my closet!
Jennifer love hewitt looks lovely. Megan Trainor….I feel like this is her schtick….The outfit looks like she would always have to be fussing with it though. It would be better in a different colour. The hair is dated.
I love Angela Bassett but her face is looking like Jada’s after her cheek (implants? Fillers?)
She’s the epitome of black don’t crack but I think she’s been tweaking her face and it makes me sad.
Meghan Trainor’s sparkly robe looks like something the wardrobe people for The Golden Girls would put on Dorothy, just to get back at Bea Arthur in one of her more cantankerous moods.
Angela looks amazing, I want that outfit! And her agelessness.
Megan’s hair is a big no.
Poir JLH, you couldn’t find a better picture of her not caught mid-smile?
Oh god no. To all of it and all of them.
I am HERE…for Mama Blanca AND Mama Elektra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And of course…Queen Bassett!!!!
Honk for MJ and Dominique!! Omg Elektra Abundance is just the best. Can’t wait for Season 2!!!
lol at the booby church dress 🙂
Dominique looks stunning in that shade of pink. It can be hard to pair 2 shades of pink without looking twee, but the sexy shape of the dress and the details on the heels make it glamorous. And with those earrings… ::applause::
I’m sad about the last season of You’re the Worst as well. Glad I’m not the only one who has been enjoying it, Corey!!
This and Being Mary Jane has been my fav for the last couple of years, oh and Claws. Oh well. Onward and upward lol
I’m going to miss it too. It’s been hit and miss over the years but the first season was one of my favourite seasons of TV ever.
Why does every single person in these photos look like a wax figure?!?!
