Anna Faris at the CBS/CW Upfronts in canary yellow: cute or garish?


Here we have some photos from the CW, CBS And Showtime 2013 Summer Television Critics Association party. (Kaiser covered some other attendees here.) This is getting me excited for the fall TV season. First off we have Anna Faris in a formfitting knee-length canary yellow dress with a single gold stripe down the front and sides. (I don’t have a designer ID on the dress yet.) The look is daring and I like the dress, it really flatters her. I just wish she wasn’t so heavy-handed on her eye makeup. Her eyes are way overdone, and she could have lightened up on the shadow, liner and mascara for a more flattering look.

Let’s see what Anna has coming up on TV… she has a new sitcom on CBS, created by Two and a Half Men’s Chuck Lorre, called Mom. She plays a single mother recovering alcoholic. The show will probably be dumb and a huge hit.

Also at the upfronts we have the very cute Rachel Bilson. Rachel stars on The CW’s Hart of Dixie, which comes back in early October. She’s wearing a blue, black and white sequin dress by 3.1 Phillip Lim paired with Brian Atwood shoes. It’s a striking little dress that could use some accessories.

How I Met Your Mother’s Alyson Hannigan stepped out of the 90s (which was just around the time she stopped aging) in this cranberry dress with lace overlay and a structured bustier. Did you hear that Alyson is going to renew her vows with her husband, Alexis Denisof, for their tenth anniversary? He gave her a new diamond ring and re-proposed and everything. It sounds romantic.

Lisa Kudrow stars on Showtime’s Web Therapy. I love her casual style with skinny jeans and a blazer. Can you believe she’s 50? She looks great, although that flipped up hairstyle is not doing her any favors.

Lizzy Caplan is going to be on Showtime’s Masters of Sex. I keep seeing ads for it ahead of Ray Donovan. It’s about the groundbreaking 1960s sex research team of Masters and Johnson and it premieres in September. She’s in a J. Mendel dress with Brian Atwood shoes. I really like her for some reason. She seems genuine and she’s a good actress.

    Love Lizzie Caplan’s dress!

  2. Joanna says:

    dress is cute, hair is horrible color!

  3. shanaynay says:

    Is Lizzie Caplan still dating Matthew Perry?

  4. Cece says:

    I really like Anna’s dress. It fits her well and is a good length – fun but not trashy.

  5. Dawn says:

    I like the dress but I think it would look better on her if she had darker hair and a tan. Other than that a big Happy Birthday wish to Lisa Kudrow, she was always my favorite friend!

  6. BooBooLaRue says:

    Whoa, they all look lame except Rachel Bilson. Why is Anna Faris a thing? She is so homely as is Lisa K. Beaten with the ugli stick.

  7. Kaiser says:

    I think Lizzie Caplan is so pretty, but that dress does nothing for her.

  8. Sirsnarksalot says:

    Lisa Kudriw had the tell tale 80’s ski slope nose job. Thank god plastic surgeons have gotten better at their craft. And Anna Farris is such a mystery to me. I do not get the appeal.

    • V4Real says:

      Somehow Lisa Kudrow managed to give the stankface while smiling.

      I can’t believe Rachel Bilson is 31; she looks about 19 or 20. She’s such a cutie.

  9. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    I like all of the dresses except I think Alyson H’s looks too old for her.

    I’m sure I’m in the minority here, but I think renewing your wedding vows is more about the woman wanting to be the bride and the center of attention again than anything else. If you and your husband want to privately celebrate your marriage, that’s beautiful, but why do it publicly? Again? Are people supposed to give you presents? Again? Did you not mean it the first time and this time you really mean it? Is everybody going to get married over and over now? I don’t get it.

  10. Lisa says:

    If anyone’s overdoing the eye makeup, it’s Lizzy Caplan, not Anna Faris.

    “she has a new sitcom on CBS, created by Two and a Half Men’s Chuck Lorre … The show will probably be dumb and a huge hit.”

    Exactly! And exactly why I will probably never watch it… heh.

    • Happy21 says:

      I do not know how she even gets acting jobs. She is easily the WORST actress I have ever, ever watched. Ugh!

      • guilty pleasures says:

        Hear, hear Happy21, I can’t stand her acting, her smoker’s rasp, her heavy makeup, bleached out hair. Nothing about her is appealing in my opinion…good thing no one asked for my opinion!

  11. Bianca says:

    Lisa Kudrow never had a clue what to do with her hair or her clothes, but she’s always had a beautiful face. I’m so glad she didn’t mess with it like her former Friends co-stars did. She looks really good.

    Also, yay for Alyson Hannigan and Lizzie Caplan! I like them both.

  12. BreeinSEA says:

    Annas from my hometown Edmonds, wa and she is really sweet in person. Her and Chris are hilarious together and seem really in love. I wish she would change her hair back to brunette though.

  13. Sumodo1 says:

    I adore all of them and the dresses are pretty and fresh. Lisa Kudrow not only looks unbelievable here, but on WWHL with Andy Cohen, she was beautiful.

  14. MeowuiRose says:

    Ever since Mean Girls I’ve been in love with Lizzie Chaplin. She was great in Bachlorette too! Plus she is beautiful. Is she still with Matthew Perry????

  15. user00005 says:

    Yeah, I can believe Lisa Kudrow is 50, because she has the skin of a 65-70 year old minus the liver spots. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a woman with a neck or forehead like that.

    • Jamie says:

      YES!! She looks awful in the first pic, especially! Her face is a mass of lines and she looks like she’s sneering, not smiling…

    • Bianca says:

      Are you kidding? She looks fine. So she’s 50 and she doesn’t botox. Big deal.
