I almost always love Julianna Margulies on the red carpet, but not last night. I usually hold her up as an example of a mature, adult woman who knows how to dress appropriately and elegantly in a way that suits her figure and coloring. I’m going to have to rethink that. Julianna wore this completely odd Armani Privé gown for her Emmy win last night. First, the bottom… it looks like a condom. It’s the way the fabric hugs her legs, it looks like it was rolled down her body. As for the bustier top… JESUS. Why did Armani feel the need to hot-glue-gun some tacky-looking pieces of plastic onto the too-hard plane of the faux-bustier? Instead of looking expensive, it looks like someone’s craft project. So tacky.
I also kind of hated Julianna’s hair style. I love her hair too – so dark, so thick, but I wish she would stop parting it down the middle, and I think she usually goes for the “flat against the scalp” look, which is meh. Last night, she decided to fluff it up, and the style didn’t really flatter her either.
I am glad that she won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for The Good Wife, though. I like that she’s found another television series that she believes in, and that people enjoy her on.
Oh, that’s her hot husband, by the way. He’s adorable.

Omgdoes white shoes should be illegal … Hmmm face looks different to me
That dress is just weird, and I didn’t like her hair either.
She’s good on TGW, but I was hoping Connie Britton from Friday Night Lights would win.
awful dress and hair
dress is weird, but yay for the photos. Her husband… I so would.
Studded for her pleasure!
The worst! I thought the black/red/nude trend was pretty dull but she looked uncomfortable all night. Really odd gown.
awful, awful, awful.
the jewels look like a lame ass attempt on bedazzling. and the shoes. gross.
and what’s going on with her face?
Dress would have been pretty minus the water blisters all over the top….
Hideous! It looks like she’s being attacked by (not so) invisible leeches.
@ Kaiser:
Are you going to post anything about Nina Dobrev who, when she was told (by Space Ghost’s Zorak Julian Rancic) that she was being compared to Blake Lively, answered: “I’ll take that as a compliment”? Please, please, this was pure gold!
I wonder what this dress would look like in chocolate with amber baubles? Still crap?
LOL @ LL!
Too white, too satin-y, too matchy shoes, too bridal, too fug.
*I meant Giuliana Rancic (not Juliana — Brazilian Portuguese spelling for her name).
Hello, Kaiser! My comments are being eaten again…
I wanted Connie Britton to win. Her work in FNL was fantastic. Together, she and Kyle Chandler portrayed one of the best and most realistic married couples on television (or movies for that matter).
What was she thinking? Apart from the tacky plastic cabochons, it just seems inapproriately bridal somehow.
Love the dress, shoes, hair, and make-up. I have enjoyed every single thing she’s done professionally and can hardly wait for TGW to start.
I’m so over the firm/tough fabrics that Armani Privé keeps using. They’ve used it several seasons already. J-Lo, Amanda Seyfried, Lady Gaga, Anne Hathaway have all worn super tight, super light strapless gowns made in heavy fabrics on the red carpet in the past couple of years.
And now the bride is dressed and ready to be shot from the cannon to her wedding, pronto!
Or, let me dress up like a pristine OB tampon for the Emmy awards!
I like her but.. really this is a condom bridal dress. ugh
What are you talking about? The dress was gorgeous.
I love The Good Wife and am glad that she won, but last night she did not look good. I didn’t care for the dress or her hair. I’ve seen her look much better. Gotta agree with the comments about the hot husband! Lucky lady!
I gasped when I first saw the horrible bodice on that dress. Just awful…and I don’t think a different color combo would have helped that crazy stiffness.
ITA that the overall look was a rare miss for her.
awful outfit, good makeup, decent on the good wife but SHE STOLE TAMI TAYLOR’S EMMY!!!!!! >:I
did recognize her, face is too different
I can live with the dress but what has she done to her face? She looks like a totally different person, not bad exactly, in fact she looks very good it’s just not the face of the Julianna I’ve known and loved for the past 20 years. She’s certainly had a tweak or two, I hope she doesn’t keep that up, Hollywood gals never seem to know when to stop until it’s too late.
Her eyebrows are way closer together. I just watched a repeat last night and I was thinking, “Wow her eyes are really far apart” Now, not so much.
I detest that type of bodice. I’m not sure about the bubbles glued on there.
There are no words to express this horror!
The hair is a bit princessy, but I don’t care, I love Julianna. Possibly because of her character on The Good Wife.

edit: “Julianna Margulies, otherwise known as the funniest woman on television” – :)))))))))))
I’ll be the dissenting voice. I love it. I thought it was architectural and gorgeous and I adored her hair. She’s beautiful. And wow to the hot hubby.
I don’t think it’s too terrible. The bodice is strange with the glass pebbles on it but the cut is great and she can pull of white with her coloring.
But I may be biased, I’ve had a giant girl crush on her since the early days of ER.
I think you summed it up perfectly: bridal condom. WTH? Although, every time I see her I just thank god she got away from that jerky boyfriend of hers, Ron Eldard.
When my husband, whose idea of fashion is a football jersey, walks by and says, “WTF is she wearing?” …you know it’s a fashion disaster.
I Think she looks GREAT. I love the dress.
Not a fan of the dress or the shoes but she is a gorgeous lady who is aging beautifully. Congrats to her on her win.
LOL @ LL!!!
Seriously, WTFug was she thinking with this dress??
omg Christine @33, I totally forgot about Ron Eldard. Whatever happened to him??
I think in another color it would have looked ok. She looks good though.
Hate it. Really hate it. Also, I was surprised there was no post on Amy Poehler’s dress – it was awful! I suppose because she’s so lovable no one wanted to lambast her – I agree but the material of her dress was just. terrible.
@LL said it for me
I like it.
And I like the shoes
When I first saw her last night, my initial thought was “Say hello to the human tampon!” So, so bad, which is a shame for such a classy lady.
i didn’t even recognize her… wtf @ those eyebrows… sad…
