NAOMI WATTS: I can’t believe we’re still doing this one-armed thing. Seriously, you guys? STILL? Even Kim Kardashian gave it up!
STELLA MCCARTNEY: I actually look surprisingly great here. This pattern is adorable! Yay! I win! I WIN!
RASHIDA JONES: Oh God. Zooey PROMISED this wasn’t contagious!
Every time I see Rashida Jones, I think of the way Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope addresses her on Parks and Rec. You know, like, “ANN PERKINS! You are beautiful and organized!” (Leslie is very into positive reinforcement of her ladyfriends, which is one of the reasons she is lovely.) Except I think, “RASHIDA JONES! You are beautiful and unnecessarily droopy!”
This is actually better in photos than it was in movement on the live-feed Monday night, but I am still consistently perplexed by how someone so gorgeous — sprung from the loins of Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones, for pete’s sake! — so often looks so much like the conductor on the last train to Dowdsville. Do you think she just decided, “eh, how can I top Peggy Lipton? I’m just gonna wear whatever”? This isn’t bad. But it’s also not a home run. I don’t know if I’ve EVER seen her hit a home run. HIT A HOME RUN, RASHIDA. I know you can do it. Rashida Jones! You’re beautiful and rich! HIT A HOME RUN!
PS to Brooklyn Decker there on the side: your Shit, I’m Totally In This Picture, Aren’t I? face is hilarious. Never change.
As Rob Lowe might say on Parks and Rec, I am LIT’RALLY speechless.
Does this even seem like her? She’s young, her career has her running with the Poehlers and Rudds of the world, she’s descended from music royalty. Shouldn’t Rashida look hipper than this? That’s a dowdy shift trying to hide itself behind a waist napkin and a mammarial mail slot. Although that does remind me that I need to go to the post office, so maybe I should write a thank-you note and pop it in the letterbox too.

I really want Rashida to find herself a hairdo that does her face justice. The bangs here kind of look like a stringy toupee that blew askew.
But the actual outfit is a lot better than she usually pulls off — it’s fitted at the waist, so it flatters her figure, and it’s… clean, and not tragic. Isn’t that a warm sentence. But I actually would wholeheartedly like this if the skirt were either dark OR light but not both. I keep thinking she got stuck changing the Pawnee parks department’s copier toner and it exploded all over her lap.

I’m sure my reaction to this jumpsuit is totally predictable.
But that doesn’t mean it’s WRONG, either. She looks like she’s in intensive training for the United Mechanics Association’s square dancing marathon.

@miss_om Was she the host? -H
Better Played, Rashida Jones
There are nits to pick, sure, but this is so much better for her:
I’m still not sure how absolutely flattering it is, but the pattern is fun and bright and summery, the shoes are adorable, and her face looks good. So maybe I won’t pick the nits too hard. I’m pretty sure that’s kind of like chicken pox sometimes anyway: It feels so good at the time, but later on, it leaves a mark.
