2019 Emmy Awards Red Carpet Rundown: The MEH!

I have to say, as usual, I am mostly bored. 

THE MEH

Mahershala Ali!
This is very, very close to working. At first I thought the problem was the hue of the shirt, but now I think the real problem is the black bow tie and shoes. They pull a lot of focus and skew the whole look.

Ted Danson!
This is perfectly pleasant but I think we need a larger knot in the tie.

Annie Murphy!
Pretty but slightly matronly.

Kate McKinnon!
One time - ONCE- I would like Kate McKinnon to wear a dress that fits well.

Jameela Jamil!
I think the top is far too small on her and bottom is all wrinkled. Love this color for her and there's another coral lip so one more and it's a trend but you all know that I'm thinking: CUAN.

Kit Harington!
This looks great! I wish he wore a tie!

Samantha Bee!
I like the idea of this suit but the shoes are completely wrong and ruining all of the proportions.

Our Lady J!
I love this look except for the bottom 5 inches. It's too short and I haaaaaaaaaaaaaate those heels. 

Emily Hampshire!
It's fine, just a little bit boring for me and the bag clashes.

Andrew Scott!
The tux is a bit too large and I'm not feeling the bow tie. Also let me take this moment to say y'all can have your Hot Priest, I'm all about Moriarty. 

Laverne Cox!
Okay, I can be into this but one question: is that a HAT on your SHOULDER?!

Isla Fisher!
Shiny! Oh but darling, platinum is not your color.

Anna Chlumsky!
Oh wow I love her hair and makeup very much. I'm not sure about this dress. The pattern feels very 80s to me and I think it's a bit too long. 

Busy Philipps!
I think the hairstyle is wrong for this dress and to be honest, I think the dress is a little snoozy. 

Julia Louis-Dreyfus!
Tell me something I don't know, JLD.

Leslye Headland!
The fit is great and her makeup is excellent but the shape of those sleeves is incorrect. Imagine this with a tighter sleeve that ended in a point going down the side of her hands. That would be perfect. 

Amy Sedaris!
I cannot fault her for doing her Amy Sedaris thing, I just think that thing isn't working here. And it's a little casual. 

Aidy Bryant!
FAR, far too casual.

RuPaul!
Love the bellbottoms and the cravat but this pink really washes him out. 

Lilly Singh!
The dress equivalent of keeping one foot outside the covers while you sleep.

Jodie Comer!
What's up with the sleeves? More importantly, what's up with the shoe?

Sam Richardson!
I love this jacket! I love the idea of pairing it with navy pants! I would have gone with a navy bow tie and a different shoe. Maybe a dark grey shoe? Not sure that would be right either, but definitely not black. 

Mj Rodriguez!
Those bows are awful and the skirt is wrinkled. I think maybe instead of those two horrible bows, I would have done a sash right at the waist, maybe on a slight bias? I am really into how beautiful this fuchsia looks on her. 

Patricia Arquette!
General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

Kathryn Newton!
Okay, so you paired a halter vest with a handkerchief skirt. That don't impress-a me much.

Regina King!
Our queen! She looks stunning in this color and I'm digging the hair but for real... I look at this dress and that waist harness situation and all I see is a different Regina: Regina George.

  1. For me... MJ just needed two black strips of that satin above and below that interesting waist seam. That color is divine on her!

  2. 1) Amy Sedaris borrowed her brother’s elf shoes.
    2) The angle of Jodie Comer’s right leg makes it look like a left leg shifted over sideways and I can’t stop seeing it that way. IT IS FREAKING ME OUT.
