But I do have THOUGHTS on the episode. And my thoughts on Michael’s dress are in keeping with this site’s POV so there we go.
Here’s Michael’s (winning!) look:
It was not my favourite on the runway but I see why it won. It’s a signature look, it’s comparatively well-made, properly proportioned. Miranda Kerr won’t be embarrassed to show up in it even if I can’t imagine her wearing it. Who can I imagine wearing it?
Heroine Chic by Yves Saint Laurent

The styling for the collection includes a lot of kickass tall shiny black leather boots and long gloves which is heroine chic all by itself. But look also at the cut and the material. She looks like she just stepped out of the first Matrix movie. Killer!
Tilda Swinton is a Rock Star

She’s Tilda Swinton. Thing is, the statements Tilda Swinton usually makes are not universally beloved. Her look is “polarizing”. But this look…
How can you not like this? How can you not LOVE this?
Basically, everyone wants to be Tilda Swinton. If you don’t, you don’t matter.
In Which Stacey Keibler is Playing Along

She’s pulled off “Leggy Girl-Wrestler” and “Star Who Dances” and she’s been a trooper as “Clooney’s Arm Candy”. I believe her when she babbles about being a tomboy. I sorta kinda think she’s cool.
But what the what is this?:
I mean. Here’s from the front:
Let’s talk about Morena Baccarin. And by “talk about” I mean “fancast”.

Poster child for heroine chic. Also she’s GORGEOUS:
Heroine Chic at the Golden Globes

I don’t expect many of our starlets consciously think “superhero!” when they pick their Red Carpet Looks…but I expect a number do think “powerful” or at the least “fierce”. These have that edge to them:
Dianna Agron. Look at that bodice. She told Ryan Seacrest she is wearing “laser cut swans”. (In related news, my new band Laser Cut Swans is making its debut this Friday)
Superheroine of the Night: Emma Stone
Posted: January 16, 2012 Filed under: Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: emma stone, golden globes Leave a comment »Emma is on a roll with heroine chic. In her interview with E! she answered the (yawn) request “Tell us about your dress” with “It’s Lanvin. It’s fuscia and purple and has an eagle.” She was somehow adorable, sultry, and sassy at the same time.
But let’s break it down:
Project Runway All-Stars 1.2

It doesn’t even whisper it. These aren’t red carpet events, there’s not going to be a fashion recap, no alleged fashion blogger is going to scan through the pics to find the one who looks like she belongs in a comic book. As much as I now want to show up at the next scheduled performance to click pictures I can then scan through to find the one who looks like she belongs in a comic book, that’s not what opera is. So we don’t have too too much in the running for Superheroine Pick of the Week. But when has that ever stopped me??

My thoughts go like so:
1. Zomg!
2. But where’s Josh?
3. But but do you think Diane&Josh and Busy&Michelle have super fashionable dinner parties?
4. BECAUSE I WANT TO GO.
5. Charlie‘s Angels
Now let’s talk clothes.

You know in Catch Me If You Can when Leo wants to be Bond, James Bond?
Yes.
