But enough of that. What about the clothes, darlings?
Heidi in Michael Kors (which sounds so dirty). Hmmm. Not so much. Actually, if it weren't for the got-my-sleeve-caught-in-the-limo-door look, this dress would be hot.
The Duchess with Debra Messing. He cleans up well, doesn't he?
She's also wearing Michael Kors and we have to say, she looks stunning. It's a gorgeous dress and the color looks beautiful on her. She's always held up as some sort of fashionista, but we think she's usually more miss than hit. This would be a hit.
Anyone else sick to death of those "Starter Wife" commercials, by the way?
La Nina. Fabulous.
If this dress were on anyone else, we'd be ripping it to shreds because, let's face it, she looks like a centerpiece at a baby shower. But this is Diane Von Furstenburg, bitches, and she can wear whatever the hell she damn well likes because she could wrap herself in toilet paper and still come off looking fabulous.
Lorenzo doesn't like Iman's dress, but this is another instance of someone so flippin' fabulous that she could pick her outfit out of the quarter bins at Goodwill and still wind up looking better than anyone else in the room.
David? You are looking tired, girl.

I agree, Debra Messing looks gorgeous. The dress is beautiful and the color is just perfect on her.
"If this dress were on anyone else, we'd be ripping it to shreds because, let's face it, she looks like a centerpiece at a baby shower."
LOL. You bitches spare no one. LOVE IT.
Debra looks STUNNING! The other...meh.
Aww, that's just a bad picture of Bowie. He's way sexy usually.
I thought DVF looked gorgeous but the dress was channeling Austin Scarlett's Grammy challenge of PR1. I agree w/ BrianB that the photog just caught Bowie in a bad pose. Beside that, though, look at them. I think it's the reason you don't see (their daughter) Alexandria out in public much. That family could traumatize the average viewer from reproducing. Way too much pressure.
Debra Messing, yum!
Vast improvement on her appearance. Post baby she was looking rather frumped as juggling so much can take a toll on attention to detail (understandable). The color, the draping and the styling hearken back to some of her most alluring Emmy red carpet ensembles. Very impressive.
Love you guys!
Michael Kors looks great. Debra looks amazing.
Everybody looks great. I'm not so crazy about DVF's dress. Michael kors looks a lot better without the tan-in-a-can look.
How nice to see a group of adults looking their best.
i have been waiting all day for a new post! thank god one finally appeared. a day without the boys is like a day without (fill in the blank)
Didn't Nina Garcia have a baby like, last week?? I am no Nina fan but the bitch looks fantastic!

Yes, she looks great for someone who just had a baby.
I'm absolutely in love with Michael Kors' dress for Debra. It's so elegant and sexy.
Debra Messing's dress reminds me of the dress Laura Bennett designed for the jetsetter challenge. Very sleek and sexy!
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE DAMN UBIQUITOUS STARTER WIFE ADS!!!
I hate Iman's hair and that is too much shit around her neck. You can't even see the dress with that gigantic necklace.
If I may practice the art of bitchcraft...
Debra Messing: The dress is great. I wanted to move her part, however.
Heidi: She looks like an Erte figurine, but not in a good way. I mean, only a supermodel could pull off the drapey, gathery look but it proceeds to obliterate her smokin' bod. It's like you know there is a great bod under there, IF you look at what little evidence the dress reveals.
Michael Kors: Thank you, Jebus! He put down the spray tan for once.
La Nina: Eh. I thought this dress bordered on matronly with the scallop motif and weird length. I know there is more fabulous under there!
DVF: Eep.No comment.
Iman: I'd prefer a color closer to the merlot end of the red spectrum, not the 1986 Fiero end.
David: A bad pic? maybe. A bad haircut resembling plumage that is increasingly incongrous with his age? Yes.

ROFL. It's true. Debra looks amazing in that dress and I don't even like the girl.
Re the DVF dress. Anyone being reminded of Robert Plotkin's season one Banana Republic dress--the combination of leopard pattern with pastel blue? It wasn't a good idea then and it still isn't.
Maybe Ms Messing should use Mr Kors as her exclusive designer--she does look fabulous.
I think Heidi looks great... but it's hard to focus on the dress when she has that unbelievable smile going. Debra Messing = hot to DEATH.
But I have to disagree with you about Ninagarciafashiondirectorofellemagazine. That thing looks like my mom's favorite holiday tablecloth from the 70s--the goldish counterpart to avocado green. And it's all kind of shapeless and dowdy. Seems like if Nina was worried about her post-baby figure (which I'm sure is FINE), she should have tried for some of that very now "volume" that she was so into during Season 4.
Debra Messing is one of the most sutnning women in Hollywood...and a deadringer for Mryna Loy (also one of the most stunning women in Holloywod in her day.) Phyllis

Nina looked spectacular. She was my favorite look of the evening!

OMG, yes!
As for Iman, I'm not crazy about the dress, but I think what's really killing me about it is the gold necklace. Ick.
Oh and if you were so lucky as to be married to the fabulous Iman, wouldn't you be wearing yourself out too?
Debra = fabulous!
Heidi = It's alright.
Nina = It's OK.
Iman = Too much red.
DVF =
David = Bad pic, i think.
Michael = Looking good.
"Anyone else sick to death of those "Starter Wife" commercials, by the way?"
YES! AND they have ads with Debra sitting on a bunch of LV bags. HELLO???? LADY LAURA BENNETT DID IT FIRST and looked WAY classier and more fabulous.
Thank you for the pics, Boys!
Oh, I forgot DVF...love her but that dress is ugly.
nina looks like crap. jaundiced. very bad color for her.
I don't think the dress is what's wrong with Iman's get-up — it's the 12 pounds of hardware around her neck. What's with that?
Debra looks incredible. She reminds me of old movie stars in Hollywood's golden age.
Re the DVF dress. Anyone being reminded of Robert Plotkin's season one Banana Republic dress--the combination of leopard pattern with pastel blue? It wasn't a good idea then and it still isn't.
I was looking at it and all I could hear was Nina shrieking in my ears, "And there were sequins, on the spots! Did you see that?!"
Nina as matronly: you go, girl! I wanna see photos of the BaaaaaByyyy!
Definition: A married woman or a widow, especially a mother of dignity, mature age, and established social position.
I think those jewels on Diane's dress would've matched the colors more in proper lighting. Instead they look like a leopard with a taste for costume jewelery died for her boobage.

Heidi looks like she just stepped out of Studio 54. She does like to shine, doesn't she?

ROFL. True. Dress + necklace do not go together.
Michael Kors: LOL, boy, he does clean up well. Maybe he has read PRG and BPR and seen some of the comments about his spray on tan--dude, you look just fine without it. Put the last bottle in the trash and don't buy any more!
Debra Messing: Love it; great colour, and wonderful drape. She should definitely wear more Michael, if this is what he's designing for her.
Heidi Klum: Not overly fond of the asymmetrical sleeves, but great fabric and drape. And what a smile! She compensates for any flaws in the gown, IMO.
Nina Garcia: Like it/hate it/like it/hate it--okay, I think I like it. It works especially well with her hair.
Iman: Like the sleeves on Heidi's outfit, normally I don't like this shade of red (whoever said Fiero red... lol, that car in THAT COLOR is parked in my slot right now!), and normally I LOATHE necklaces like that, but she pulls it together and pulls it off. Iman can get away with stuff nobody else can. Dang.
DVF: Okay, I don't like the top (style OR fabric) but I really like the skirt. Very close to Austin's Grammy dress fabric, and I *loved* that fabric.
Debra looked amazing in the Michael Kors purple halter dress. Heidi meanwhile looked a little orange in her asymmetric brown dress, but I have to say that the brown floor-length gown that gathered at the hip created extra curves. She is a beautiful woman, and what a smile.
Heidi Klum is so gorgeous but I'm not liking this dress. I like the color, but its more of a fall looking dress. I don't like the one sleeve thing either.
I think Debra Messing is held up as a fashion plate because she is so thin that clothes just hang on her like a mannequin. She is gorgeous, though.
I met Bowie in the late eighties, and even then girl had some work done!
Come on, leave poor Dave alone ... if you were married to Iman, wouldn't you be tired (in a good way!)?
DVF = Simply D-I-V-I-N-E. Sans or avec ugly dress!
**sheepish grin**
I'm totally watching Starter Wife! I can't help it - plus you should check it out cause there is seriously hot surfer dude the Messing character is going after. I have no idea who the actor is and I'm too lazy right now to look him up, but he's yummy.
Diane is wearing the cursed blue/purple fabric from Austin and Santino's dresses!
Debra - Wonderful fress for her. Color and fit are perfect and classy.
Heidi - ....I'm trying so very hard to come up with a visual referance, but all I got is drag queen.
NINAGARCIA - I know she just threw one on the pile, but that dress just makes her look frumpy when she is NOT.
DVF - "Oh Jesus."
Iman - I'm having flashbacks to discussion about classy colors.
I've never understood Iman's penchant for red because it doesn't work with her skin tone at all. By the way, after all these years isn't she getting a little tired of being David's beard?
Debra looks gorgeous!
I'm loving the site, guys!
That dress makes Iman look like a pinhead.
Bowie's hair color at this event didn't go over so well on at least one of his fan sites; Fan that I am, it pains me to agree, he looks better with a softer color. I've seen some shots from different events like the High Line Festival and the on stage performance he did with Alicia Keys for Iman's African relief benefit and it was a delight to see him looking good and not as sick as we thought. After the heart attack and quitting smoking and blowing up like a balloon for a while, he's been looking healthier lately. Just not in this picture.
Iman's necklace and the hair together don't work for me. It would have helped if she was smiling too.
Liked everyone else but Zac Posen, gosh, didn't he look in the mirror?
