Fashion faux pas

GOOD GRAVY: In watching the Monday night reviews of Emmy fashion, I heard over and over that Ellen Pompeo's hair was too "editorial" for the red carpet. On "America's Next Top Model" the skinny, awkward girl is often referred to as very "editorial." I wish that people would say what they really mean, which is "not pleasing to the eye." Editorial does not necessarily mean beyond comprehension and unbelievably ugly, so it's really not fair to refer to things as being editorial when what's really meant is fit for no living creature. Which, in essence, is what Ellen Pompeo's hair was. But she wasn't the only one subject to the whims of a sadistic stylist. Her fellow Grey's Anatomy cast members (past and present) didn't fare much better. Kate Walsh appeared to have had her hair styled with her head out the limo window, Katherine Heigl looked matronly and Sandra Oh looked like she'd been stuffed into that dress against her will. She looked dour and depressed, which maybe had something to do with the fact that she was wearing wool in 100 degree weather.
