The memo apparently read, “Guys, the Emmys will be REAL MAD if we steal their thunder.”

    Apart from Stowe, who would look lovely had her tailor not wanted to punish her for something, I think they all received a memo reading:

    “Dress as Taylor Momsen.”

    Are we sure this wasn’t a formal funeral?

    Nicole Richie: “X marks the spot.” I don’t know what the spot is for, but it is definitely marked.

    For Stowe: Pillows of Ickedness (yeah, not restaurant related, but I love “Carrie”)

    What is with all the black? This does not bode well for awards season. How many variations of awful black gowns will we be able to stand??

    You mean that’s not Nicole Scherzinger in #7? How is that possible?

    This doesn’t bode well for the upcoming awards season.

    Oh, Xtina – love your body, and all that, but you don’t have to dress ugly. Also, why the hate for the face? It’s like all the make-up from a high-end boutique ended up on her mug.

    Blah, all blah. However, was I the only one amused by Roselyn Sanchez’s updo being perfectly centered in the big red dot on the wall behind her?

    Nicole’s eyes are freaking me out…wayyy too much eyeliner! Kind of like zombie-like…goes well with all of the black gowns, I suppose.

    Dear Xtina:

    I want you go back and look at your hair color and makeup for Burlesque. I mean, crap film, but you looked soooooooo pretty. Softer colors and less slap all around.

    Note I’m not discussing your figure. You were skinny then, and you look lovely and curvy now. But I will note that you shouldn’t squeeze yourself into tight stuff with your current figure. Fitted isn’t the same as tight.

    Or the “TL;DR”? Get a stylist. I beg you.

    Christina. Oh Christina. She has SUCH a pretty face sans-makeup.

    Case in point: I re-watched Burlesque at the weekend (shut up, it’s awesome and I love it), and she looked genuinely beautiful with the ‘natural look’ going on. I understand that this still involves makeup (foundation, contouring etc.), but it was SO much better than this trowelled on style she’s been trying to pull off for years. Wipe off the lip, put down the false eyelashes, scrub the bronzer out of the peroxide and we’re in business.

    I just want to know how Ms. Stowe has completely halted the aging process without resorting to surgery. She looks effing amazing!

    Maybe it’s a Bizarro Red Carpet and everybody tried to find the ugliest dress she could. In which case, it’s a tie between all of them for the winning entry.

    Having been forced by a child to watch hours of “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic”, I can say this:

    “Christina, I know Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle, the spirit of magic, is a friend of mine, and you, Christina, are no Twilight Sparkle.”

      Can you say that in a Lloyd Bentsen voice? I think I might pay to hear that.

      @jen – this comment is AMAZING.

      +∞, because it’s not every day you cross one of the best political putdowns of all time with My Little Pony.

      Honestly, though, if anything – Xtina’s trying to pull off a broke-down Rarity (and failing because Rarity would NEVER be broke-down – filly don’t play that). Of course, this means that StayC (oh my God, and I thought Ke$ha and Kreayshawn were horrible stage names) is totally Pinkie Pie.

      …and I have now just outed myself as a closet brony.

    Apparently the theme for this awards season is going to be Ugly Dresses.

    never mind there clothes – were there no hair stylists available for this thing? really? let’s just scrape all our hair into a ponytail/bun and be done with it? Were you all too tired from the bad dresses to deal with it?

      Exactly. In addition to the woeful clothing, there’s some bad, bad headsuits here.

    Way too much black. Looks like they were going to a funeral. Need to have some colour.

    My first thoughts were Huh!!! It looks like they are having an early Halloween party and they are all going as a bunch of vampires or maybe witches. Anyway they all look awful bad. Why all the black lately? It looks like so many women are in mourning.

    We need an emergency intervention with Tim Gunn to explain the ” basic little black dress” concept to all of these women. None of these dresses are flattering and the designs are truly the epitome of ugliness on their own.

    Were these women styled by the Widow Longoria?

    I think Cote has worn this cut out foolishness the best it can actually be done. It’s still deplorable, but Cote makes it look decent.

      And she has one of the best-looking legs I’ve ever seen. I assume her other leg is quite attractive as well.

    Christina’s face looks so…matronly. Maybe it’s the makeup. She just looks old and settled. Wait, let me date myself. She looks like Ann Sothern.

    Nicole Richie looks beautiful actually.
