TIFF 2017: Red Carpet Roundup

It occurred to me that I had a red carpet roundup opportunity right in my own backyard last week with the Toronto International Film Festival!

I didn’t spot any stars around, but I don’t usually hang out at the trendy spots, either. I mean, Angelina Jolie’s not going to swing by my local grocery store to pick up a mesh bag of avocados.

As with yesterday’s Emmys roundup, I’m starting off with my favorites:

This is perfect on someone like Halle—is that a hint of nipslip, though?

Jessica Chastain at the Molly’s Game premiere

Elegant, and the stardust sparkles are a pretty touch.

Bella Heathcote at the Professor Marston & The Wonder Women premiere

I wish she’d done simpler shoes with this, but I’m still loving it.

Emmy Awards 2017: Red Carpet Roundup

2017-09-192017-09-19 fivezero5 Comments

I didn’t manage to catch the Emmys this year and, honestly, I rarely ever do. I think part of the reason is that they continuously ignore a lot of shows I think are fantastic. I can rattle off many recent examples: Hannibal, Justified, Black Sails, Community, Orphan Black, Legion, and until this year, The Americans…but the most egregious snub of all-time is probably The Wire!

Well, at least a few of my favorites got a lot of love this year (The Handmaid’s Tale, Stranger Things, Westworld), and even The Americans picked up a few nominations in what was possibly their least exciting season.

In any case, I did manage to check out the red carpet looks after the fact and here are my very inconsequential judgments.

We’ll start with my favorites!

Top 10 Emmy 2017 Looks

I love this dress on its own, but it gets a boost with
a dazzling Ellie Kemper. This is a fabulous color on a redhead.

Lovely. There’s a little bit of the zig zag girl illusion going on in the middle.

The Oscars cap off the end of awards season in Hollywood. I posted my favorite and least-favorite dresses from last night’s ceremony, but here are some of my highlights from other ceremonies that took place earlier this year.

Yays

Golden Globes: **Drew Barrymore** (How To Be Single, ex. producer) in Monique L’Huillier.

Golden Globes: **Kristen Bell** (The Good Place) in Jenny Packham.

BAFTAs: **Emily Blunt** (The Girl On the Train) in Alexander McQueen.

Oscars 2017: Fave & Not-So-Fave Dresses

My Oscars thoughts:

That has to be one of Mel Gibson’s many daughters, right?
Seriously missing Cate Blanchett on the red carpet.
I like Jimmy Kimmel as host better than I thought I would.
Is Gael Garcia Bernal teeny-tiny, or is Hailee Steinfeld an Amazon princess?
So glad I stayed up for the Best Picture speeches.

But really, we all watch the Oscars for the dresses, anyway, right? I mean, I’ve literally only seen four of the Oscar-nominated movies this year—The Jungle Book, Star Trek Beyond, Trolls, and Zootopia. Such is life with little kids.
