Seriously who dresses Christina Hendricks

Once again Hendricks is put in a pale neutral color gown that just makes her look blah


The dress is by Christian Siriano (he was a former Project Runway winner). It fits her well but it's just a hideous color on here.

This is Julianne Moore in Christian Dior. Sure the dress is a bit conservative but I would have never thought yellow could look good on a red-head but Ms Moore found the perfect shade that just makes her pop!

I think she was going for a Marilyn thing, but you're right about the coloration. Still, she somehow manages to make even blah look good.

The Moore dress, is, in my opinion, strictly from hunger, regardless of color. .. and I really don't like that color on her.
(I offer my comments, every year, at all awards events, as they appear on my tv. No one has ever asked me to be a consultant. What a waste.)

Is Julie Bowden in the formfitting strapless with the pouf below the knees? She's great in that color, but it is my considered opinion that Claire Danes looks washed out, too. (My little secret is that I never wanted to be a movie star...I wanted to be Edith Head.)

She looks like she has the typical slender actress look to me. Why would any woman not want that?

Tom and Lorenzo (www.tomandlorenzo.com) call them - the "babyheads"

When a woman with large breasts wear corset-like tops/bras that push them UP, quite often it does look like there are two babies sitting on her chest.

She's got an out-of-this-world figure, but doesn't seem to be able to show off the girls to their best advantage, or to choose the right colors to flatter her skin and hair.

and C.H. is a beautiful woman. Would make an awesome vampire if she ever hopped over to True Blood.

Julianne Moore looks like skelator with a wig.

Really?

Both women are attractive to me. Christina's dress would be better in a darker color though.

Her gown looks beautiful against the red carpet. Not so much against the white background.

Julianne Moore looks beautiful too. That color is amazing and the gown is elegant.

They keep them in a locked plexiglass bin. Perhaps they are good. I don't know. I'm not paying that much.
