Another notable event which I respectfully turned down last night was the Cinema Society’s premiere of “How to Make it in America.” I am very eager to watch this show, which premieres on Sunday on HBO, because I love Bryan Greenberg (Three words: Jewish, “Prime,” Q-tips) and Lake Bell (Another three words: “You Know Why”). I actually met Bryan once at The Bowery Hotel and contrary to reports surrounding the event he was very nice and I was entirely unstalkery.
However, last night’s sartorial showing was abysmal. Olivia Palermo, about whom I have blogged before admiringly, totally effs with proportions and looks completely un-sexy in a baggy sack dress and stupid wide black belt. I think a thick belt, especially a black one with black tights, can often look like a rookie mistake. She should have hiked the hem of that thing up several inches and ditched the belt entirely.
Bryan Greenberg wore some weird amalgamation of several outfits. While I usually love sneakers, especially of the Dunk variety, these pink plaid numbers make his feet look like boats. He should have clearly gone with a pair a few sizes too small and dealt with the toe squeeze. Further to the insulting shoe choice, the plaid shirt and weird belt coupled with an Auditor-length tie and squeaky pleather jacket deem him unstalkable for the night. And then there’s Adrien Grenier, from “Entourage”, whose mock-turtleneck offends my unborn children.
