Emmy Awards Fug Carpet: Anastasia Griffith

So, this is totally confusing to me:

If you’re wondering where you’ve seen this actress, she plays Rose Byrne’s fiance’s sister on Damages, and she’s pretty good. And according to Wikipedia, her brother is Jamie Bamber of Battlestar Galactica, so….that’s an attractive family right there. But I would just like to state for the record that I do not understand why a dress that is designed to look like the bodice is made of two saucily placed ribbons is an entirely good idea. Unless, of course, the plan is for your evening to end with said ribbons unfurling at an apt moment. But a) these can’t ACTUALLY unfurl, thus throwing a wrench into that plan, and b) suddenly appearing topless at the Emmys is a ploy best left to those without paying jobs.
