In or out: Debra Messing

Kittens, let's talk Debbie. But before we do, we're going to take a sip of our coffee and reflect.

The reason fashion bitches like us always have something to say about Debbie, it's because she, like our other favorite topic, Sarah Jessica, always tries her damnedest to put something interesting on her back before she walks out the door. No simple high-end prom dresses for our girl. She wants to make a statement, dammit. And strong statements just beg for responses, don't they?

In other words, we bitch because we love. So let's bitch.

After the event, she went to her nightshift job of slaughtering cows.

She kind of looks like a big purse, doesn't she? We're going to have to give this one a big OUT. Leather dresses are notoriously hard to pull off, which is why 90% of the time, it's just not a good idea. This is too baggy and too long and just unflattering in every way. And she needs to stop wearing clothes that match her hair.

We joke because we love, Debbie!

Now let's move on to more Debbie goodness. She was the host of the 11th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards and in the spirit of the event, went through 4 costume changes. Let's go to the tape.


Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2008



Must keep reminding ourselves "It's a costume event, it's a costume event." Which is only fair. Why judge her clothes as if they were, y'know...clothes? These are costumes and they're meant to be dramatic.

Having said that, kudos on bringing the drama, but we don't really like it. It's attention-getting for sure, but we can't really say it's pretty. Hair and makeup look good. That "necklace" is an abomination, though.


Elie Saab Spring 2008 Couture



It's a beautiful dress and the hair, makeup and jewelry all look fab. But here's the thing: if you're wearing some kind of one-of-a-kind dress that can't be altered to fit you correctly and you wind up looking like you're standing in a hole, here's a bit of advice: DON'T WEAR THE DRESS.


Zuhair Murad Fall 2008 Couture



It's alright. We don't love it. The color is a little puke-y and the dress illustrates that there really is such a thing as too much texture. But what really chaps our thighs are the earrings and tiara. We just don't get them with this dress. More accurately, we really don't get them with each other. Either the big medallion earrings OR the tiara, but not both, honey. That's just vulgar.

And pick a clutch that we can actually see against the dress next time.


Giambattista Valli Spring 2009



Oh, what the hell. It's cute. We'd hate to see her at a movie premiere dressed like this, but for this kind of event? It's fun.There appear to be some fit issues in the bust and that skirt is perhaps a skosh too starched, but we can go with it. Love the shoes, likenotlove the costume jewelry (although we kinda hate that the earrings match the broach exactly.)

There. Now we've given you plenty to talk about. Get to work, bitches.

Oscars 2009 Parties

Let's take one last, loving look at these celebrity bitches getting their drunk on, shall we?

Jessica Biel attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Oscar de la Renta Fall 2009

It's just alright. To be honest, it looks a little cheesy - and the gold belt was not an improvement.


Carrie Underwood attends the 17th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party in Georges Chakras Spring 2009 Couture

Kinda hated this one. It's too stiff and shapeless on her, like she's wearing a very embellished lamp shade.


Carolina Herrera attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Carolina Herrera Spring 2009

On the model, it's an interesting, if unflattering dress. On a non-model, i.e., Carolina Herrera, it just looks like too much dress. It's just not working on her.


Claire Danes attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Zac Posen Spring 2009

This is a really tough dress to pull off and we'll give her credit for trying, but again, this just isn't working. Hate the neckline and the sleeves.


Debra Messing attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Jenny Packham Fall 2008

Biggest HATEDRESS of the night. We can't tell you enough how much we hate this dress. It's just plain ugly - these pictures are actually almost flattering - and her boobs were hanging out the side.


DVF attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2009

Diane, we love you and we congratulate you on your legs, but something a little more formal for the next Oscar party, mkay?


Gwen Stefani attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Chanel Fall 2008 Couture

This is another really tough dress to pull off. The trick is, you need to be 20 years old and a model. Gwen is neither.


Jessica Alba attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Roland Mouret Resort 2009

Loathe as we are to admit it, she looks pretty fabulous.


Madonna attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Christian Dior Spring 2009

Lorenzo thinks she knocked it out of the park. Tom is scared of her arms.


Marion Cotillard attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Elie Saab Fall 2008

Gorgeous. This is the first pretty much flawless after-party look we've seen.


Marisa Tomei attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Juan Carlos Obando Spring 2009

It's an interesting dress in both versions, but we have to say we like it a lot better without the color blocking.


Sharon Stone attends the 17th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party in Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2009

Hello, nipples! And howyadoin there, hips? It's like a salute to Sharon Stone's body! In dress form! This ain't flattering at all. The distinct whiff of desperation doesn't help.


Taraji P. Henson attends the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Nina Ricci Spring 2009

Mmm. No. This is a clunker considering what she was wearing earlier in the night. It's just a little to twee and adorable.


Victoria Beckham attends the 17th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party in Victoria Beckham Fall 2009

Honestly, she is the ONLY woman who could pull off this dress. It's a bit much, but that's Posh for ya.

Golden Globe Awards - Part 1

Yes, that's right: "Part 1." So get your bitchpants on, ladies!



Heidi Klum wearing a vintage James Galanos pouf dress from Decades Inc. with Christian Louboutin sandals.




Feh. We don't love. We get what she's going for but the dress isn't as interesting as she (or her stylist) thinks. Don't like the hugely full skirt and don't like the wrapping-paper-like quality of the material. OUT.

Although the shoes are fierce.


Debra Messing wearing Vera Wang with Fred Leighton jewelry


Oh, Debbie.


Debbie, Debbie, Debbie. What's up with you lately? Is your stylist going through a breakup or something? This is so very out. The dress is a sloppy, twisted, unflattering mess (good color, though) and the jewelry looks gaudy and mismatched. Seriously, what's up with those earrings? And the makeup! Girl, who put that shit on you? Did they use a trowel? Your scary, furry eyes, bird's nest hair, mismatched jewelry, and twisted dress are all combining to give the distinct whiff of "crazy lady on the subway." We doubt this was your intent. OUT.
