Fugger: Emily Deschanel

Golden Globes Mostly Well Played, Sisters Deschanel


I don’t know if you saw this on the telecast, but Zooey had someone actually twirl her ponytail for her when she arrived at the red carpet. I assume it was her stylist or hair technician, but I like to think that she has a dedicated Ponytail Twirler on staff. THAT is some manic pixie dream girl realness.

Golden Globes Fab and Fug Carpet: The Sisters Deschanel


I know Emily just had a baby, but she seems to be bouncing back awfully well. Surely a blue satin bathrobe wasn’t her only option. Couldn’t Miuccia have whipped out something cute and unique for her while they were custom-designing Zooey’s beautiful outfit? Like a two-fer? A Prada party? That can’t have been considered too adorable. I don’t think Zooey Deschanel is allowed to think anything is too adorable anymore. I’m pretty sure FOX put that in her contract.

Unfug It Up: Emily Deschanel


This isn’t as bad as I initially thought — when I saw the thumbnail of this photo, I didn’t see that she was carrying a purse; I thought it was just some random cutout in the beige part of Emily’s dress.

Now that mine eyes no longer deceive me, I’m still not totally enamored, but it’s certainly better.  All the lace is a tad overdone. She looks like a widow’s hanky. I think I’d be able to deal with it in one place or the other, and my vote goes with keeping the neck lace and changing the skirt hem. However, she does at least look happy, and her eyeliner isn’t all smeared under her eyes the way it normally is. Maybe marriage has been excellent for her eye-makeup-application skills.

And at this point, at first, I wrote this whole thing about how Emily got hitched to one of the new SNL cast members, Taran Killam — to whom my husband has had this really visceral negative reaction, until this past week when Taran did the animatronic dancing skit and totally nailed it; I think their relationship might be on the mend — and then I remembered that he’s actually Cobie Smulders’ baby daddy, not Emily Deschanel’s husband. SHE is married to an actor named David Hornsby, who is on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and was apparently in Pearl Harbor. So, you know, Taran Killam ended up here by accident, and I’m sorry about that, dude. You really were good in that one sketch. I would like to know how your murderous animatronic musician would change this dress.  Please advise.

Emmy Awards Fug Carpet: Emily Deschanel


This one got off to a bad start and never fully recovered:
God knows I stand behind a girl craving a new haircut — as a curlyhead my options on that front are limited, which has the effect of making me want to chop it in ways I know I shouldn’t, just for variety — but I can’t endorse Emily Deschanel’s new bangs. I don’t know if it’s the length, the thickness, or some other intangible, but they completely overshadow her face. The rest of the dress didn’t have much of a prayer after that: She is totally tangential to it. Other than the skirt looking like a criss-crossed homage to the fringe on her forehead, that thing could basically have walked down the red carpet without anyone in it at all and it would’ve looked exactly the same. Poor ol’ Temperance Brennan is just a mannequin in that thing, wearing it just so it can go back to its dress barn and brag to all its buddies that it went to the Emmys and touched hems with Kevin Bacon’s pants, or something. You deserve better, Bones. Like, say, Booth. Can you get on that please? For real. Saddle up and bring that stallion into the barn. It’s time. 
But go change first.
