The bevy of chic dresses and stylish tuxes that swirled through the Emmys was punctuated only occasionally by the fashion-statement equivalent of burnt toast.
Babs, Babs, Babs Streisand! We know you're a control freak. But it's time to mellow out. Get a stylist. Get a husband who isn't afraid to be honest. Someone had to tell you that John Belushi looked better in a toga than you did Sunday night at the Emmys.
Classy, feminine, mature styles were all over the red carpet. Except . . .
Jennifer Garner! Or should we say: You in that bridal dress from hell. What have you done with the usually chic, stylish Jennifer Garner?
Streisand and Garner took the most noteworthy fashion missteps on a night dominated by good taste, good choices and good presentation.
Seen the most were feminine, flowing dresses in one or multicolors, with lots of frills, sparkle and/or shine. A few went with black or white and, apart from Garner, did it without looking like Goths or raiders of a bridal store fire sale.
The men turned out in the usual parade of designer suits and tuxes. Good standout: John Spencer of The West Wing, whose specially made tux was shot through with gold flecks. Bad standout: Jason Ritter of Joan of Arcadia. It's never a good thing to wear something you've had since you were 8, unless we're talking Rolex.
