I actually really love Blake Lively's necklace, as it's a big fancy necklace I could wear. As a short, slightly well endowed women, big fun necklaces don't really work so well. I just wish her hemline was different, it looks weird for some reason.
Also I cannot be the only one who gets vindictive pleasure out of Nina Garcia looking awful at an event like this. #blakelively
The first thing I thought when I saw Blake was that old Edie Falco quote about not being in character as Carmela Soprano until she had her fake nails on. #blakelively
Leigh Lezark is gorgeous and I absolutely love her entire outfit.
I have two pairs of the stocking Helen Lee Shifter is wearing and I promise, they are adorable and very flattering. J. Crew makes them as well as Wolford and some other brands. That's my unsolicited fashion advice for the day! #blakelively
@Tchotchke: I'm always wondering how I can wear patterned tights without looking fussy or overdone. I retain a late-'90s allergy to wearing more than one design, pattern, or even color at a time. #blakelively
@Leucadia: I'm a huge fan of wearing patterned tights. My job requires me to dress fairly conservatively, so tights and jewelry are the best ways to add some character to my outfits. I would recommend sticking to black patterned tights if you're uneasy with them at first because the black (as opposed to say, plum) keeps them a bit more restrained. That said, I actually like the mixed patterns look, but I'm a bit of a magpie anyway. #blakelively
@Tchotchke: You sound very chic! I do have some of those sort of openwork tights (look almost like crochet) in black, worn with a simple black dress, and my fashionable undergrad students loved them. They were itchy, tho! #blakelively
I kind of want to be Blake Lively for a day. Really badly. And I am moved-yes, moved- to voice a complaint: Nina Garcia. Those highlights? Yes, those, in your hair. They are....unfortunate. They are dreadful. They are Played Out. I'm sorry but I expect better from you, dear, and your hair has disappointed me. Natural is always best. I hate to be such a nitpicker but this is such a huge peeve of mine. Especially when it's a woman who has such lovely thick hair-why ruin it with those awful, unflattering stripes? Ok I'm done being petty. #blakelively
@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: I had to look closely at her hair. If it was gray, I'd be all ok with her embracing her natural color. But nope, someone did that to her on purpose. And she probably paid for it. Although maybe they're filming Shear Genius, and the challenge was to do the hair of people who judge on shows that used to be on Bravo. Someone should check on Michael Kors's hair. #blakelively
@Ailatan: For me, there is always something about her hair and makeup that seem a bit off; not terrible, just off the mark. Maybe it's the brassiness and poorly matched foundation? #blakelively
@GiGiBird: I'm in Argentina, and I have seen those highlights, they were very popular in 2002, by 2003 it was the worst thing you could do to your hair. #blakelively
I love every single thing about Sofia Vassilieva's look. The black and white combo with the red lipstick is gorge with her skin. #womeninhollywoodtribute
The shoes are just horrible, bad, awful and outrageously so. And who was the photographer? All of these women look not-quite-right. I'd prefer to blame the lighting... #womeninhollywoodtribute
Cat Deely makes my insides happy. Also, Sofia Vassilieva looks like personified sunshine in every shot I've seen of her. I love it when celebs look like they're having fun at these things.
Big, ugly shoes have got to go. I love me my clunky Mary Jane holdovers from my more adventurous days, but I still have them for sentimental, not sartorial, reasons. #womeninhollywoodtribute
what is up with this shoe thing? there were at least 3 gorgeous outfits RUINED by those large chunky shoes that look like shredded rubber tire strings wrapped around ankles.
only folks with truly spindly legs can pull off an ankle strap, and even in those cases the strap should be thin, not wide and black.
I'm sure Julie Andrews has an umbrella somewhere nearby in case of emergency. That said, I think she should retrieve said umbrella and beat all of those horrendous shoes to death. #womeninhollywoodtribute
