For a while on the Emmys red carpet, everyone was talking about poor Claire Danes. Like, remember when Claire used to win tons of awards? Remember when we couldn’t wait to see what she was wearing? While no one seems to be watching Homeland anymore, some of us do still care what she’s wearing. And her Emmy look last night was… not great. The Schiaparelli couture gown itself was inoffensive, I guess. I mean, I don’t like the little cleavage-blocker in the center of her chest (and yes, it’s part of her dress), it looks stupid. But the rest of the gown is fine. No, we were talking about Claire because she either has a bad sunburn or she was aggressively fake-tanned. Or both. Like, in some light she looked burned, in some light she looked like she was 10 out of 10 Boehners. It was not good.
In lieu of an actual Beyonce sighting – Beyonce did not deign to attend, which was a good call because she lost! – we had to make do with the very fabulous Laverne Cox. Laverne was totally serving up some Beyonce Realness in this gold Naeem Khan gown and big, bouncing hair. I loved this on her and I thought she looked amazing. She presented at the Emmys too, and she said something nice about Jeffrey Tambor and Transparent, saying that trans actors do need more chances and more trans stories need to be told.
