Yeah, and she has aged really really well.

Agree on the aging, this dress feels robotic to me, though.

Agreed and it was bad in motion -- the bedazzled piece in front was stiff and moved awkwardly against her body as she walked or talked -- it wound up looking very extraneous and tacked on. The super slick hair didn't work for me either. I wanted a part or some height or something.

I thought she looked like an alien. I don’t like the severe hair on her.

Oof.

It looks so much better here. The nude part is the big problem.

They look great. Such an interesting color instead of white/cream/blush.

These are my sorority colors (yeah I know, shut up) and I have always thought they were so beautiful together. I never seen them combined in fashion.

I like the color combo, but the cut/style of the dress gives an expensive-window-drapes vibe.

I feel like this is opposite of the turn around and take one thing off principle. It needed one more thing on - necklace, an embellishment at the waist, a slit, slightly more fitted bustline. Something.

Well said and someone should have said this to Andie MacDowell, too.

Christie Tiegen is a miss for me tonight.

She looks great, I love her dress.

His look is weird. The cream jacket with the white shirt looks wrong -- it's tone on tone when he also has the contrast with the tie/pants. Then throw in black shoes... it feels very thrown together and mismatched when I'm sure a ton of thought went into it. It just doesn't work.

Loved her look last night with the tweed suit look.

I would have liked this more if it was simply sleeveless on both sides. I don't care for the one long sleeve. She looks great though.

Her hair is terrible.

Her hair and makeup are so understated tonight. Last night at a pre party her hair and makeup were full glam. And really pretty.

I think Nicole always looks gorgeous in the full head-to-toe shot. But up close and especially in interviews, her face is just a mess and you can see all the procedures plus the places where things have shifted in weird ways. It's really sad to me. I'm not against procedures at all (especially understand it for women who are on screen for a living), but she has always had this ethereal beauty and part of me would have liked to see how that aged without quite so much intervention. I think she made the bargain of trying to stay 35 for ever and it only works from a distance. I'd like to know what she looks like as a very well-preserved 50-something instead.

Also, all the straightening and bleaching has absolutely wrecked her hair. You can see how thin and straggly it is in this updo.

Loni Love's dress is flattering.

She loves overskirts with shorts and platform heels and weird necklines and she is weirdly consistent about it. I think I could come around on this if the colors weren't "black and dirty-sheets-beige".

What an amazing look! I so love this!

She looks amazing. The dress is fabulous and the hair and makeup are perfect. She's killing it.

I like her hair but that's it. I might like that dress if it were just a little more substantial and structured. I have no trouble with sex appeal and showing skin on the red carpet (and this was for the after party, not the awards, so looser dress code) but this honestly looks like it's about to fall off her. It's like a tacky boudoir photo shoot outfit.

Also, while I do like the style of her hair, the color doesn't work with the colors of the dress. Going reddish and then wearing a lemon-lime outfits just feels like a big miss to me.

She also looks either high or drunk and given her history with alcohol, I wonder what's going on there.

But the dress itself is hideous and her styling is very plasticky looking. She looks like a Bratz doll (sorry Mindy). I wish she'd gone super classic instead.

She changed into the same dress in black before presenting! So strange.

She looks gorgeous in the black dress with the red lips.

Actually she looks great. This was not a miss for me. And she doesn’t look drunk. She’s been very upfront about her sobriety. Besides, she has a 3-month old baby that she’s nursing, so if anything, she’s simply tired.
