Well, we can all give a cheers to Zooey Deschanel not showing up at the Emmys looking like she just rolled off the cover of *Entertainment Tweekly*.

But, even though that ice blue is fabulous with her eyes, I think she pushed herself too far the other way. This is a bit stiff and matronly. The wearer of this dress should be some fabulously jaded, cynical fifty-something former trophy wife who makes one of her son-in-law's groomsman check her stockings for runs, wink-wink, and then makes a man out of him in the coatroom.

Emily didn't fare so well either:

If it had been strapless, I might not mind, but that sleeve -- and what I suspect is an improperly fitted midriff -- drag this thing into marm territory as well. In the above scenario, she's the gentle-tempered sister of Zooey's drunken grande dame, and she sits at the table all night surreptitiously drinking everyone else's Champagne dregs because she's in love with Zooey's 75-year old wheelchair-bound cuckold and can't ever tell him. As much as I love a good boozy family drama, I wish they'd wait on dressing for it until they're closer to the right ages.
