I read in People that this look on Ellen is from her own clothing line. (Well, the suit is; the shirt is Saint Laurent.) I admit to not being a big fan of the cream/white combo. I actually think the track jacket is potentially really cute -- like, imagine it with jeans -- but the color combo is distracting to me. As for Portia, I am an avowed hater of the jumpsuit -- AVOWED! -- but that thing fits her gloriously. I have to give her that.
Don't look so cranky, lady! This is the first time I feel like I've really gotten this hair on you. Also good: her whole face, actually. Whoever was on hair and make-up team tonight must have been like, "you guys, it's a weird napkin top/culotte bottom jumpsuit. We've got to REALLY knock her head out of the park!"
I feel like this says, "you guys, I'm here for PR purposes and I understand that but I'm just presenting and then I'm going home to lie around and watch The Good Wife, so please let me wear something that doesn't require Spanx. Thanx!"
Her head looks FAB -- I actually have mad love for Meredith Grey; I've been rewatching early seasons of Grey's Anatomy earlier, and I think she's really underrated on that show -- but this is totally something that Jane Fonda tried to pawn off on her one day on the argument that the color might work better on Ellen than it does on her, and ELLEN SHE LIED.
