Jane Krakowski - No Sagging at SAG Awards

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends

Revealing on the Red Carpet

    This ladies and gentlemen, is what a superstar looks like: Beyonce wearing the heck out of a deceptively simple looking black turtleneck dress at the Gotham Magazine gala. She's gorgeous!

    This is what people are talking about when they praise Beyonce's curves. She looks like a fantasy creation, and even though she is as covered up as possible -- what kind of shoes is she even wearing? No one knows! -- nothing is left to the imagination.

    And this is how you put together an outfit for an event. Her hair: striking -- pulled back, out of the way, not fighting with the dress. The only jewelry: bold but simple earrings. She's not even wearing her 18 carat engagement ring, just some shiny red nail polish.

    She is, however, wearing 10 pounds of "You're damn right I'm fabulous" attitude, which is what really puts this in the StyleFab history books for us. Sasha Fierce rulz!

    Of course, Beyonce isn't the only celeb who goes revealing on the red carpet. The question is: Who pulls it off, and who's revealing too much?

    Rose McGowan's barely-there "dress" is a little (OK a lot) too much.

    Keira Knightley's tattered rags look like a stiff breeze could make the actress considerably less decent.

    Someone should've told Gwyneth Paltrow that you can see right through that dress -- and we'd prefer not to.

    That's an interesting place for see-through fabric -- fortunately Teri Hatcher can make anything look amazing.

    Backs are sexy, butt cracks are not -- even when it's Heidi Klum's.

    Tess Smith leaves very little to the imagination with this super-skimpy wrap-dress-thing.

    Anne Hathaway appears to have forgotten something -- it's called a bra.

    Kate Bosworth uses some strategically-placed stripes to conceal her private parts.

    Uma Thurman also seems to have forgotten her undergarments.

Jane Krakowski hit the Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet last night, looking gorgeous in a red dress with a deep, deep neckline. And from the front, it was daring, but sexy and fun. From the side, it simply looked like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. All we can say is that we're pretty sure she wasn't stingy with the tape.

Is this a 30 Rock trend? Tina Fey showed off her cleavage at the Golden Globes, and now Jane showed how perky she can really be at the SAG Awards. Who's next? Seriously, if Alec Baldwin shows up at the Oscars with his shirt unbuttoned past his sternum, we're going to have a problem.

Ugly "Wudi" Only Loves (Sponsored By) Dove Products

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style


The opening credits for Ugly Wudi

Sure, all shows do some product placement. 30 Rock even makes a big joke of it, building it into the storyline. But Unilever has taken it to a ridiculous level in China. They aren't just doing product placement -- they own a whole show!

Unilever is the parent of Dove products, which were selling poorly in China under the "Campaign for Real Beauty." Rather than try a new campaign, their agency came up with the idea of producing a Chinese version of Ugly Betty -- Ugly "Wudi" -- who becomes beautiful by using Dove products.

(Wait, isn't the point of Ugly Betty about internal beauty?)

Anyway, as the exclusive sponsor, Unilever owns all of the commercials, all of the product placement, and even the script!

The show's star, Lin Wudi, gets gorgeous when, inspired by the ad campaign she is creating for Dove products, starts using them. The marketing team from Unilever managed to get 3,300 seconds of Dove brand into the first season of the show.

So what is this? A season long infomercial? Some kind of hybrid ad-tertainment? Genius marketing? Or an evil melange of all three?

Or is it just the future of ads and network television?

Loomstate: Organic casual

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Jeans, Men, Style for a Cause, Green Fashion


We were watching 30 Rock the other night and realized that those crafty types at General Electric had stretched Earth Day into Earth Week. The nerve. We're okay with it though, because we live every day like it's Earth Day. We also live every week like it's Shark Week. Carpe Diem is not lost on us.

It's not lost on Loomstate, either. "Loomstate was founded as a casual brand dedicated to creating demand for certified organic cotton using socially and environmentally responsible methods of production."

If your favorite show on TV is MILF Island, then you are in luck. Don't let the fact that the show doesn't actually exist, yet, keep you from showing your support. We understand that there is also talk of a potential, and equally fictional, spin-off.

iPhone: How do I love Thee?

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Men



On Christmas morning there was one gift left. It was for me. I was a bit surprised as I had already been sufficiently spoiled by all in attendance. I opened the box and looked inside. An iPhone was resting there, gentle and content. Oh, how my heart skipped. I jumped up, still in my pajamas and announced to the 9 family members around me that I would be back momentarily. I had an iPhone and I loved it so much that I just had to be alone.

Actually, what I really said was, "I'm going to take this behind the middle school and get it pregnant." Yes, I stole that line from Tracy Morgan, but damn, I really loved it.

I still do.

The iPhone is sleek and stylish. It is compact and powerful. It is a laptop in your pocket. I'm writing this post on it right now. In a park. That is what the kids call a tax write-off. I'm also using it to listen to Seu Jorge on the built in iPod. When I'm done here I might watch a movie. I rented some flicks off of iTunes and I purchased Season 1 of MTV's classic sketch comedy show "The State."

I won't. I don't want to show off, plus I have kids to play with. I promised them Daddy would be "it" as soon as I was done writing this love letter. Yes, that's exactly what it is.

Now excuse me, I have a phone call.

Suddenly, Thursday seems more complicated...

Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Not to dwell on what I consider a pretty good problem, but my Thursday night prime time television consumption has suddenly become a little more complicated. At issue is Naomi Campbell's recent announcement that she will be joining the cast of ABC's hit show "Ugly Betty".

"Ugly Betty" is a great show, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't come close to my current television favorites "The Office" and "30 Rock". So I suppose my decision to stick with NBC or jump ship for ABC will ultimately come down to a single question: Who do I love more: Tina Fey or Naomi Campbell?

vs.

Tina Fey: Attended my alma mater, the University of Virginia
Naomi Campbell: Wrote an unreadable novel called Swan

Tina Fey: Proves that smart girls can be hot.
Naomi Campbell: Proves that beautiful girls can be lousy human beings.

Tina Fey: She's fun to watch.
Naomi Campbell: She's fun to mock.

Tina Fey: Wears glasses.
Naomi Campbell: Wears wigs.

Tina Fey: Wrote Mean Girls.
Naomi Campbell: Is a mean girl.

Tina Fey: Co-stars with Alec Baldwin
Naomi Campbell: Derides bald men

Advantage: Tina Fey
