I don't usually remember to watch the late-night shows, but I happened to catch Jimmy Kimmel the other night when La Chastain was the guest in this very outfit:

And it was exactly as you'd expect: A VERY cute idea and a wonderful color, but too tight in the waist, which you can see even a little bit in this photo. When she sat down it got all bumpy and pinchy. Which happens to us all; I just figured her people would have a really good tailor on speed dial. I wish I did.

The snug waist looks better in this Lela Rose dress:

Still very form-fitting, but in a way that I think honors her figure rather than cuts into it. The shoes give me a touch of the Zzzs, and she's hiding her wrists, so I can't see if there are any adornments there (I suspect not). Her cocktail-wear is often "preeeeeeeetty cute" (which I say in my head as if I am Bobby Moynihan as Anthony Crispino, the second-hand news correspondent) but not totally solid. She and Kate Middleton need to confab. I should probably be there. Actually, Chasty was REALLY likable on the Kimmel show, to the point where I feel like a long liquid lunch with her would be a gas. One of the things she talked about is her long and enduring friendship with Jess Weixler, whom I LOVE (and who has been woefully underused) as Robin on *The Good Wife*, and how they would furnish their apartment with old chairs Pottery Barn had stabbed (so they wouldn't be stolen) and disposed of; they'd drag them home and just toss blankets over the wounds. It made me laugh. I wonder if Pottery Barn appreciated the press, or sent her a bill.
