I was so much happier with this until I saw the shoes:
I mean, they’re fine? They make this bridal in a way that I don’t enjoy. But just cover them up. Stick a Post-it over them. Pick a good one, like the one with your lunch order on it, or the one that is reminding you to set your fantasy football line-up….
…okay, better, right? Classy, understated, flattering. The lace feels on-trend, but the gray is a nice surprise. Kind of like the fact that Anna Chlumsky seriously has a viable career again. Which sounds snarky but I swear I am being sincere: I always liked her, and she disappeared forever to do….stuff (Broadway? College? Living with the Amish and turning the fine arts of butter-churning?)….and then, seemingly out of nowhere, she just popped right back on Veep, on which she is GREAT. The whole thing just makes me happy.

Love the gray lace. I couldn’t get into Veep but I’m happy for her. Vada Sultenfuss has come long way.
Love this on her. The gray suits her coloring – hair, skin and eyes – to a T.
Cosign on the shoes. I screamed “BRIDESMAID SHOES, HATE!” at the tv when I saw them. I think my neighbors were probably concerned, but oh well. Otherwise, she looks pretty great.
I felt the same when I saw her on the red carpet last night.
I love the dress, but the shoes have to go. They should match the dress. A higher heel, less wide strap across the toe.
These look like shiny bedroom slippers.
The dress is divine.
This is good. Well, except for the shoes but whatever I guess.
Im so glad to see her back looking fantastic. Every time My Girl is on I watch (and sob) and always wonder what happened to her.
I like the look, but I think it might be making her look older than she is (31, I think). But still fine.
Wow, that dress is just SO SO PRETTY.
That grey lace is gorgeous on her but I have to agree about the shoes.
She went to the University of Chicago (go Phoenix!) and then reappeared as Liz Lemon’s nemesis on 30 Rock.
I was about to say the same thing! She started at UofC in 98, maybe? Seemed nice, obviously smart, did a little theater… Love the grey and glad to see she has a great role.
Lovely, even with those shoes! She was also great in “In the Loop” (2009) – probably why she got a similar role in Veep.
She looks lovely, and I LOVE the smoky gray color.
Wish she had on a different lipstick though. The nude (or perhaps VERY light pink) makes her washed out.
That’s my cure-all for 90% of these celebrity red carpet looks though honestly. WHY WHY WHY with the nude lipstick all the time? Does not photograph well, unless you’ve got a crazy heavy eye or a crazy wild dress.
Oh, no no no. The only thing to keep is the shoes. Not the curtains from Aunt Fannie’s old farmhouse bathroom. And not the frozen forehead with vaguely snarly eyebrows, a’ la Kidman.
We spoke to her in person. She is definitely not Botoxed.
Reddish shoes, a slightly redder lip and we’re in bi’ness! Those silver Payless jobbers hurt my soul.
So, so pretty! Well done Anna
It’s obvious she’s been away tatting lace for this gown. So glad she chose that color.
As Smash and Mangle said, go Phoenix! She went to a school that doesn’t let actors traipse in and out at will.
I’ve had a girl crush on her since I saw My Girl (in the theaters! I am old!), so I’m so happy to see her looking great and back in the biz!
That moment near the end of the first episode of Veep where I realized who she was will go down as one of the most satisfying/exciting moments of my life. Sadly.
Such a lovely gown. But yeah, the shoes killed it for me.
The dress is beautiful but get rid of the train.
Loved her in “In the Loop” and glad to see her looking great on the Red Carpet! I am not generally into jewelry, but her earrings are speaking to my soul. Shouting, actually. Sigh.
That’s a really beautiful dress, and Chlumsky looks great in it. The shoes aren’t great, but maybe they’re comfortable?
