No Business

Here is my very delayed post on Tony's fashion!!!
I have a show going into tech tomorrow, thus the crazy schedule and late posts.
ANYWAY.

As someone training to hopefully someday BE at the Tony's, it makes me sad that the lovely ladies of the Great White Way have to work so hard to find something fabulous to wear. Because they are not mainstream Hollywood actors, designers aren't as willing to loan out their couture. Which is a shame.

The Ladies of the Smashed Smash:

Debra Messing 

I personally think that Debra Messing is beautiful and generally underrated when it comes to her acting. She is, however, hitting the "just below average" button real hard with this one.

Krysta Rodriguez

This girl is a goddess and is a Broadway actress with short hair which makes me covet her. Plus I loved her before Smash made her kind of a thing. I almost adored her dress until the sassy lining went under the sea. 

Megan Hilty

Sigh. Such a talented and gorgeous (real shaped) woman who is so underpaid, she couldn't afford the bottom half of her dress. 

Other Ladies of Note:

Jane Krakowski

Eh. I get it. It's sparkly. I see you. 

Cicely Tyson

OH MY GOD I'M NOT EVEN MAD. This is great regardless of the mental condition in which it was selected. Sane or delusional, it's funny either way. 

Valisia LeKae

You know she was so excited to wear this dress and to be at the Tony's and stuff. But Diana Ross would not approve.

Laura Osnes

I realize the gothic princess thing was probably in an attempt to avoid the unavoidable Cinderella thing (and to, you know, wear a different ball gown than she wears every night). But I think it's trying just a little too hard to be like, DIFFERENT. See!!!! I'm different from my character!!! Seeee?????

Scarlett Johanason

Your laid back "I just showed up here" attitude and outfit MIGHT be excusable if you had been any good in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Like any good AT ALL. 

Anna Kendrick

Anna Kendrick is currently working on the film adaptation of The Last Five Years, which I am (tentatively) optimistic about. Her weird, sheer boob panel seems to be a sign of humility, as if to say "It's okay Megan Hilty, I too am a player of the boards, I will be frugal with fabric as a sign of solidarity."

Goddesses Who I Wish Would Adopt Me:

Stephanie Block

The fiercest, most toned carrot there ever was or ever will be. 

Bernadette Peters

God this woman is always perfect. Always. That color is everything. 

Patti LuPone

"Hey f@#&*$#, I'm Patti Lupone, and I'm gonna jump rope with this telephone cord around my neck while I talk to you and do a shot. Because I'm Patti F@#&*# Lupone!"

Patina Miller

I was so happy she won. But this is exactly what I meant about getting the leftover couture. Like that hasn't been seen on someone on a carpet yet for a reason.

Audra McDonald

She is like the most beautiful black and white cookie and I say that in the most sincere way possible. I also have a theory that Audra McDonald, Patina Miller, and Michelle Obama all get together once a week for margs and a good round of tricep dips.
