Sandra Oh was in a red deep v neck Ralph and Russo gown last night which I appreciated for the little sleeves. I also like the lattice work beading detail. Sandra has been getting a lot of buzz for her work on BBC’s Killing Eve, for which she was the first Asian American woman nominated for Best Actress at the Emmys. That speaks volumes about the lack of Asian representation on television. (None of us are watching Killing Eve yet as it’s not on any of the streaming services. The first four episodes are available on demand from BBC America so I think I’ll watch it soon.) Sandra brought her mom and dad as her dates, which was cute, I always like seeing celebrities with their parents. In a red carpet interview with Variety, Sandra’s mom said how proud she was of her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. You can see that here. Sandra’s reaction was the best.
Best supporting actress nominee Alexis Bledel had on Delpozo. This dress reminds me somewhat of Michelle Dockery’s Carolina Herrera in that it’s just a basic pastel dress with some appliques on it. In this case there’s a neon panel on the skirt and it’s bad. Alexis keeps her private life on lockdown but she actually has a nearly four-year-old son with Vincent Kartheiser, we’ve just never seen photos of the baby and we don’t know his name.
Alexis’s Handmaid’s Tale costar Samira Wiley was in silver Jenny Packham. This is a fun dress, I like the larger sequins along the top, it’s just a little forgettable. The Handmaid’s Tale didn’t win anything last night and I’m ok with that. I couldn’t bring myself to watch it this season because it hit too close to home.
I was going to include Constance Wu because I thought she was Emmy nominated in a past year in the supporting actress category for Fresh Off The Boat. She wasn’t, which is disappointing. Plus she’s the lead on that show. She has been nominated for TCA and Critics Choice Awards though. Constance was a presenter and she’s in Jason Wu. This dress is gorgeous. This is how you do the half-slouchy off the shoulder sleeve so it doesn’t look like you need to yank your dress up. I loved Crazy Rich Asians and will see it again when it hits streaming.
