Madame Shock has returned home from her Hollywood mingle with many sharp-eyed (and perhaps sharp-tongued) observations. First, she will unload her celebrity gossip, since even Madame is not entirely immune to the thrill of tinseltown closeups.
The Good:
Jennifer Morrison & Eva Longoria Parker have ungodly amounts of shiny, beautiful hair - simply stunning. And nearly every starlet had gorgeous skin - is it the makeup, the botox, the air? Whatever it is, Madame wants some!
The Bad:
Much to Madame's surprise, the usually chic Anne Hathaway wore a dreary, dumpy dress and seemed very slumpish in general (but does have the MOST incredible skin). Perhaps the bad posture comes from being beautifully statuesque in an industry populated with Napoleon-sized leading men?
And the lovely Ali Larter desperately needed a bra under a very beautiful dress (stylists do have mirrors, yes?) while Amy Smart appeared to need full-body Spanx under a very frumpy dress.
The Indifferent:
Being interested in Hollywood personalities primarily for their fabulous access to (and parading of) fashion, the Mesdames Chic & Shock were a bit out-of-the-loop on the stars with Y chromosomes, as they present less fascinating sartorial statements. They were told that Steven Moyer, Joshua Jackson, and Amaury Someone were there, but really - the Mesdames can only say that there were a lot of men there, some well-dressed, some less so. And many were sporting scruffy facial hair without the good looks to carry it off.
The Personal & Pointed:
Madame was very glad that she did not add a temporary long underskirt to her vintage green silk-satin dress (see: Bash Aftermath, Part I), as nearly everyone was in short dresses (and some not even that dressy, alas). As always at these events, the "real" people were more dressed up than the stars...but badly so (more on that later). Unfortunately there is no photographic evidence of the latter, since cameras for "real" people are mostly forbidden (in order to protect the stars' privacy, bien sur) and only prominent names are allowed to walk the red carpet for official photos. But never fear! Madame Shock has a photographic memory for terrible clothing choices, and will discuss them at length later.
