Emmys Fashion: The Bad, The Boring and the WTF?!
Gwyneth confuses, Katie bores and Paz frightens.
-April Daniels Hussar
Oh come on now. What would Emmys coverage be without some sniping at the red carpet? Here’s our lineup of misses. (Click here to read our favorites, from Christina Hendricks to Anna Faris.)
THE BAD AND THE BORING:
Dianna Agron
Oh dear– such a beautiful girl, and that royal blue is a gorgeous color. But the cut of her Roksanda Ilincic dress does nothing for Diana’s figure.
Katie Holmes
Bun? And tank dress? We’re surprised Suri let you out of the house in this Calvin Kline number!

THE BAD
Zooey Deschanel
It pains us to say, because we heart Zooey (presenting here with Will Arnett, who looks equally surprised by her dress)… but is that a giant Pepto-Bismo bottle? Or an homage to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Oscar dress of years past? Or perhaps Zooey thought she was off to a hoe-down themed prom?
Olivia Munn
LOVE the emerald green. Do not love the unflattering fit of her Carolina Hererra gown.
Drew Barrymore
Yikes! What happened, Drew? If we didn’t know this was Givenchy Haute Couture, we’d have suspected you of DIYing your emsemble using some sofa upholstery. Drew somewhat redeems herself with Van Cleef and Arpels jewels and Jimmy Choo shoes.
NEW CATEGORY! THE “WTF?”
Paz de la Huerta
Perhaps we have been watching too many zombie movies, but Paz looks like she belongs with the undead. And it frightens us.
Gwyneth Paltrow
It may be Pucci, but it’s still a crop top. Ok, Gwynnie, we get it. You’re in amazing shape. Your tummy is flat.
Phoebe Price
“TV personality” (we had to look her up, too) Phoebe Price certainly didn’t bore on the red carpet. And we kind of like her boldness — we agree there should be more fascinators in Hollywood (why should the Brits get all the fun?). But we’re a little afraid of her raccoon eyes

Paz de la Huerte was the worst. Terrible dress, bored expression, horrific posture. She needs a make-over from head to toe, inside and out.
