I just realized that Jane Fonda is wearing, on her dress, the garment version of Heidi Klum’s jewelry.
However, Jane Fonda looks classy and elegant and frankly totally bangin’, whereas Heidi looked like a gilded boob clown. Game, set, and match to the legacy.

Too much going on here for me, I think.
We’ve got sheer smockage, we’ve got long hanks of fringe, we’ve got a minidress underneath… at least the yellow color makes it interesting (if it were a black dress we’d all be in a coma right now), but how could this be better? Less fringe? MORE fringe? More lining, and maybe… a belt? I don’t know, but I do know this: I wish Kerry Washington wore her hair like this on Scandal, because the immobile flip they make her sport is starting to distract me. I don’t think it’s budged all year. Olivia Pope deserves something sassy, not stiff.

For those of you who like to know the score going in, this yellow dress is Stella McCartney.
Jessica definitely got the makeup right; the red lipstick is exactly how she needs to work wearing canary. Things look a bit pinchy over on the left up there, but as Stella’s oeuvre goes, this isn’t as offensive to me. And isn’t THAT a glowing compliment… Frankly, I think, YET AGAIN, my immediate issue is the shoes. Why does Chastain always belly-flop with the footwear? They’re like that old Monty Python sketch on How Not To Be Seen, where yes, technically, you CAN’T see Mr. Nesbit of Harlow, but when there is only one bush to hide behind in a giant field, you know exactly where to put your explosives.
Then again, riddle me this: In this particular case, is it the frock color that’s making it hard? Would the shoes be easier to pair with this if the dress were not yellow? Those chilly blanks on her feet do nothing for me, but I can see why it might be tricky to find the right option — I almost think you have to go with a fun, bright, screaming contrasting shoe. But I don’t know. So even more than the dress, I really want to hash out the shoes you’d put with this. Chat it up, and post your links, if you’ve got ‘em, in the comments.

If we’ve learned anything from the Emmys, it’s that this is a tough color to wear correctly.
And this is not the way to do it — it’s the wrong combination of consumptive makeup and a whole lot of dress. We here at GFY HQ have a major soft spot for J.Lo.Hew and she’s had a tough year, so we don’t blame her for trying to inject a little sunshine via a day-glo demi-caftan. In fact, we applaud her for resisting the urge to go full caftan and bunny slippers. But, in the Fantasy Stylist spirit: I think I’d fix this by snipping either the sleeves or the skirt, just so there’s less of all the glaring yellow, then prescribe a red lip. But really, it probably needs to be a richer, gentler yellow — more dijon than canary. What would you do, Fug Nation? Embrace her with your tender healing aura.

If you’re a Hollywood star, and you’re pregnant, I would think awards season is an excellent time to do it. No Spanx, no sucking it in, no worries about whether you ate too many cheeseburgers in your hotel room before getting in the car. You can just let it all hang out and make the most of not caring what your stomach is doing. So freeing!
That’s why this was so disappointing for me. First, from a design perspective, I’m bored. If this were the back, we’d be wondering if it had gotten stuck in her panties during a bathroom stop. But beyond that, it felt so blah, so uninspired, as if she hoped that from the front nobody would notice or remember she is pregnant. I’m not saying a lady has to go so skintight that we can see how your belly-button is progressing, but… why not relax and enjoy it and have a little more fun with the whole thing? At least walk the red carpet with a sandwich, just to taunt people: “Hey, how’s that corset? DIG MY MEATBALLS ON BREAD?”

I can’t deal with this. It’s like the bodice is poking out its lizard tongue at me.
