Last night’s 2008 National Board of Review awards gala at NYC’s Cipriani fell on a chilly night, making Amy Adams’ and Heather Graham‘s triumphs more impressive, and Salma and Anne’s disasters slightly more understandable.
The Good:
Amy Adams can put a dress over like no one else!
I like Eva Amurri‘s nod to the cold with black tights.
Viola Davis looks classically, sexily elegant.
Again, Melissa Leo gets serious points for an actually weather-appropriate gown. And how often in this life does one get to sing, “She wore blue velvet…” in an off-key Isabella Rossellini voice?
Heather Graham works total bombshell.
The Bad:
I’m not saying it’s easy to pull off a “Where the Wild Things Are” costume, but unlike Amy Adams, Anne Hathaway has a bad habit of being worn by her clothes.
I hate, hate, hate the way this bodice cuts across Salma’s chest!
Alina Cho’s basic black looks just fine…and then you hit the bows.
The Ugly:
MaybE Veronica Webb is celebrating her freedom from being a fashion guru on Tim Gunn’s Guide To Style…by looking awful?
