This looks better than it did when she was walking around on the live feed.

I happen to think Debra looks better than she did in her *Will & Grace* days -- I think she's one of those people, kind of like Julianna Margulies, who was always pretty but *really* clicked in her late thirties/early forties, and she'll probably look exactly that good for the rest of her days, which will be endlessly irritating to those of us with early-onset crow's feet. But she paints herself into such a boxy corner. All that gathering up in the navel region is giving her a weird shape, and I keep wondering if it'd work better if she wore it backward. Still, because this photographs much more flatteringly than I expected, I'm throwing it up to a vote. Because it's possible I don't know how to judge her anymore when she's not swaddled in her *Smash* swobes and scarves, like a refugee from one of those old *Top Model* challenges where the winner got to keep everything she could put on her body in thirty seconds.
