Emmy Awards Fugs and Fabs and Fines Red Carpet: The Other Ladies of American Horror Story


well-played

I feel like Jessica Lange’s character on American Horror Story is what Ryan Murphy is trying to recreate, comically, with Ellen Barkin on The New Normal, with much less successful results. Of course, Jessica Lange’s character is really just a VERY veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery cracked out Sue Silvester, so I guess this is really just the Circle of Life, right? Something like that. Let’s look at the collected ensembles of the ladies of that ensemble show.

    Jessica Lange looked fabulous. Love the dress, love the color. I love that she’s in her 60s but refusing to dress like an older lady.

      YES – I so AGREE! She’s bringing glam to aging and I love it.

        Everyone should just do what she is doing- age gracefully and glamoursly- she looks fantastic for any age, however. Nicole, Sandra B, Renee, the rest of the 40 year olds- quit slicking your faces- it’s awful to see. Go the way of Jessica.

    I don’t always (well usually never) like the one sleeve thing, It offends my sense of balance, but it’s kind of working for me here. It looks sort of old-movie retro, and I like the dress. (But people wearing slits, quit with sticking your leg out).

    The one-sleeve thing usually bothers me too, and I totally understand the urge to slice it off, but with this… I don’t know, it kind of worked for me too.

    I think they all look terrific except for Mara, whose dress itself I love and think would be very pretty on, I don’t know, Charlize Theron, maybe – someone a good deal taller, is where I’m going with that. And of course the hair is a disaster.

    But hey, one miss out of the group? I say they did very well! I particularly join the love for the pretty, pretty dress on Lily Rabe, and the movie-star glamour of Lange’s strong color and striking lines. I think those were the best here.

    What is going on in photo 6??? Is that a full-sized human standing next to Alex Breckenridge? They are so out of proportion, it looks like one of them is photoshopped in to the picture.

    I do not know if it’s just me projecting Kate Mara’s character from American Horror Story onto her real life personality, but I feel like every time I see photos of her from a red carpet, she looks like she is about to go on a psycho killing rage. Or at least some sort of psychotic rage. She scares me.

    Kate Mara’s hair reminds me of the millions of those braided hairstyles you see on Pinterest! Jessica Lange looks gorgeous! Love that color!

    I would love to look as good as Lange does here just once in my life, nevermind in my 60s.

    Also, Sarah Paulson was awesome on Game Change. Loved her dress here.

    The sparkly gal with the half up-do is Blue Steeling so darn hard …

    Do you know what brand of sunglasses it is that she is wearing?

    Somehow, I don’t hate the sleeve.

    “But I salute Breckenridge for the fact that she is obviously Doing the Jolie as a joke.” I seriously don’t think she was. There’s not enough fabric in that dress to actually cover her leg, and there are photos elsewhere in the web of her desperately trying to rearrange to split to cover her beige underwear – at aleast I hope that’s what it was. The dress is so tight and ill-fitting, and in every pic it looks crooked, like it’s been put on wrong.

    Holy crap, Sarah Paulson! I would never have recognized her in a million years.

    I love Kate Mara but she never quite gets it right on the carpet.

    I had forgotten about Lilly Rabe until now, she was by far the worst actor on that show and was just distractingly horrible in every scene I blocked her from memory.

    I love Kate Mara’s dress, but the styling was underwhelming! I’ll FAB the dress, though!
