JULIE BOWEN
'Joe Somebody' Film premiere, Los Angeles, America - 19 Dec 2001
We begin near the top of her reign on Ed. Truly, this pandemic has taught me that sheers were pervasive long before I realized.

75th Anniversary celebration of NBC at Rockefeller Plaza, New York, America - 05 May 2002
I appreciate so much that she went with bright stripes. Once again, a very early gown is one of my favorites.

This feels... let's see... stately. For her first year at the Globes with MF, I'd have hoped for something more fun.

"Why, yes," her cocked eyebrow is saying. "I did rip off one sleeve and use it to tie my enemy to a chair."
2010
This is what happens when you put your gown on the day before the Emmys, and then run there.
2011
Listen, I've made a lot of jokes about industrial paper towels in my day, but I'd sure love some right about now.
2011
This almost works. It needs visible shoes.
2011
Gorgeous.
2012
This feels a little TOO much like Grace Kelly cosplay?
2012
I like the idea and the color, but the top feels almost TOO sloppy?
2012
This was a surprise: a gown designed to look like it got caught up on itself during your bathroom trip.
2012
With bonus photobomb from Leslie Mann.
2012
I want to like this, but the bunching at her knees is so tough to take, and her head looks AGAIN like she arrived after a marathon.
2012
I like the gown but her makeup is washing her out a little.
2013
Again, I like the dress, but I think her hair is overbleached so the head-styling lets her down again.
2013
I kind of want to see THAT hair with the previous frock. This one is a beautiful color, but so messy. She also really seems to prefer layering up that left arm.
2013
Leather was a bold choice.

This is a Marchesa dress that originally had a bare midriff. She was correct to have it altered, but it's a bit... wedding-y.

And the last time we saw her, that I could find? FUR SLEEVES. Her face says, "I know. Oh, believe me, I know." It's one hell of a swerve.
