it's tony night
The 61st Annual Tony Awards were tonight, but I have to say thered-carpet fashions were a little disappointing.
Disappointing because there were no huge faux pas, no shower-scrubby dresses or outlandish tuxedo stand-ins. Everybody was pretty low-key and classy, especially the guys.
So tonight's criticisms are a little tamer than usual, but still heartfelt.
To the designer of Felicity Huffman's generally nice dress: Was it really necessary to put those three bows at her waist? Did you look at your one-bow sketch and think, "I don't know -- it just needs more?" Trust me, it didn't. One bow would have been just fine.
And since I've never, ever been a fan of contrast stitching, Jennifer Ehle's dress was a miss, in my opinion:
And to Bebe Neuwirth -- I love you, darling, but your gown looks like it was designed by The Mummy. You look great, and you're fabulous, but I'd rethink the ancient Egyptian designer next time.
