Emmy Black tie Dos and Don'ts...

[MrDaniels]

Anyone else watch the Emmy's tonight? It's amazing some of these male celebrities can make so much money and dress so horribly.


What is with these men showing up to a black tie affair in business suits? Being an average citicen I would feel like a total douche being in a business suit when all of the other men present are in tuxedos-so how should one feel being dressed so inappropriately while being broadcast to millions of homes?

I have to say however that Jeremy Piven and Alec Baldwin really looked sharp tonight-they must have been dressed by professionals.

I only caught a glimpse, but it was interesting to compare the apparel of Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart and Steve Carrell. Colbert looked pretty well put together, from what I could see.

Did you see the ill-fitting tux and plastic FIH tie that Ryan Seacrest was sporting?

Yeah, and then I left the room.

I thought most of the celebs wear sponsored clothing?

Colbert is generally always dressed well when he's out in public and always to the occasion.

Colbert looked very nice (peak lapels, bow, pocket square, etc.), and Jeremy Piven's tux was just smashing. He even wore a waistcoat.

Quite a few must have been sponsored by Men's Wearhouse.

lol.

i dont mind if guys wear black business suits to such events, i have worn a black business suit as an usher to one of my friend's wedding before.


the only thing that i dont like is the shoes they tend to wear. bacco bucci and if they try to be 'in the know' in regards to shoes, it is Armani shoes.

i remember one time, samuel jackson was being interviewed for attire wear for emmys and such, and he stated that his wife said he needed to get serious with his shoes, that his shoes are key and must wear quality , high end , stylish shoes .
so she bought him Armani shoes.

A single tear just ran down my eye.

Did anyone see what the male dancers were wearing when Tony Bennett was singing? Formal jackets with tails, shirts untucked and completely unbuttoned, white braces dangling from their pants. I do understand it was a theatrical setting and really a costume, but it just looked really wrong. Mr. Bennett himself was not in a tux, but looked great (although no cuff showing on the hand without the mic). The female dancers, well...

My Wife and I watched the interviews sections and both were less than impressed with the attire.

3/4ths of the men failed to shave. The poorly fitting everyday suits generally looked awful. Piven had the face hair issue too, but at least wore appropriate formal wear. Although I think it was a mismatch for his frame - the lapels went to his arms. For a thick guy he benefits from a more balanced look.

Overall, I'd say 1 in 20 looked appropriate. 1 in 100 looked like a movie star.

I watched very little of it and kinda threw up in my mouth a little bit at some of the attire. The only person I saw (limited watching) that seemed to get it right was Patrick Dempsey.

Frankly I was disappointed at the number of people that bagged the tux altogether and just wore suits. But that was infinitely better than the jungle of long ties with tuxes on display. I thought after the return to the bow tie at the Oscars this year that we'd finally gotten over that bad look, but apparently it's alive and well in TV land. Bummer.

jeremy priven on entourage generally seems to be dressed well. his suits fit and he looks comfortable in them while running around town on ari gold antics. occasionally he does the whole black suit, black shirt, shiny tie ensemble though which really sucks.

the worst of the emmys was by far simon cowell. sans tie with a dress shirt that appeared to be unbuttoned down to his belly.

At least he didnt wear his too tight t-shirt that exposes his nipples.
