Compare and contrast: The 'Glee' girls
Because nearly every cast member of "Glee," including those who have never had a word of dialogue, were at the Emmys tonight, I'm not going to compare and contrast all the "Glee" gals. But I thought Lea Michele (left) and Dianna Agron were a good place to start. Lea Michele's Oscar de la Renta gown is intricate and lovely, but the overall effort just looks like Michele is trying too hard. Between the hair, the makeup, and the complicated structure of the dress, there's nothing playful or particularly fun about this ensemble. It's safe, and I'm sure Joan Rivers will like it, but I'm getting a needy "please look at me" vibe here.
Dianna Agron is quite lovely, no matter what she wears. But her Carolina Herrera gown is a bit too fairy princess for my tastes. Like Michele, she looks fine, but it's too much like playtime dress up, and not enough like adult dress up. It looks like Sue Sylvester has both of them beat.
