As far as I can tell, most of the attendees were not particularly new, only partially now, and probably not next. But whatever. Hardly anyone at the Oscars is actually named Oscar, so I can’t really quibble.

And this doesn’t even include the ones we’ve already covered — Kim Kardashian, Charlize, Jennifer Lawrence (well, her back, anyway). It was a bridal kind of night, albeit in some cases (okay, really mainly one), slightly more Hussy Bridal than is usual.

I feel like this must be one of those events that is sort of hard to dress for as a celeb. Like, you CAN NOT show up at the Courage in Journalism Awards with your boob hanging out. And it’s really not about YOU, so you shouldn’t come wearing something deeply fashion-forward and, like, covered in feathers and human hair. Which isn’t to say no one did that. (No one did that.)
Ever since we saw Aisha Tyler at Fashion Week one time, I have had a bit of a girl crush on her. She’s so TALL and GOOD-LOOKING and she seems like she’d be fun to get a drink with and talk about boys. So it pains me to do this:
There is just…a lot going on here. With the spats. And the chains. And the ruffles. And the piece of hair that kind of looks like a bird of paradise. I feel like if we WERE friends and she showed up to something wearing this, I would be like, “You look….directional.” And she would be like, “I thought it was just kind of fun! No? What? You have a weird look on your face.” And I would say, “I don’t know. It’s just a LOT going on.” And she would be like, “And the dress is like a really fancy shiny apron, isn’t it? DAMN. I KNEW IT. I HATE MY STYLIST.” And I would be like, “Here, have a mai tai,” and everything would be fine.
I caught an eyeball or two of Aisha Tyler at Fashion Week and thought to myself (as opposed to thinking to someone else. I haven’t mastered that yet), in the following order:
“a) Damn, she is tall and good-looking. I hate her.
b) Is that Aisha’s boyfriend? Hot.
c) Is that GWYNETH PALTROW OVER THERE? No, that’s a dude.
d) La Tyler’s been dressing so well lately.
e) I just really love bagels.”
And then this had to go and happen:
Yeah. This was not her wisest decision. I’d wager this hurts her more than that time the plane landed on her head on Ghost Whisperer and killed her off.
Fugs and Fabs: The CW Upfront
All hail the unexpected return of The Carrie Diaries! Between that and Hart of Dixie, The CW is thoughtfully keeping our fugcapping racket in business. However, the network also has a show about Mary, Queen of Scots, called Reign; some weird looking alien-human yada-yada called Star-Crossed; a remake of a show called The Tomorrow People (which I used to watch when I was a kid and will probably watch at least twice now), and The 100, about juvenile delinquents sent back to nuclear-ravaged Earth as test subjects, and (I assume) Lord of the Flies-style shenanigans ensue. Let’s face it: I will probably give all of those a shot, because nobody speaks my language like The CW, even when it speaks it fairly badly. Of all of them, I’d say Reign has the only Fug the Show potential, but then again, it’s not like I can speak with any authority on clothes from that era — although I CAN say I wish the romantic lead would manscape a little better.
