Forget New York fashion week. The real spring 2010 fashion action’s happening on the streets of New York, where the “Sex and the City” sequel’s being shot. And kids, the press releases are flying! Lanvin sent out a press release in about two shakes of a lamb’s tail when Cynthia Nixon, as Miranda Hobbs, was spotted carrying Lanvin’s “Padova Tote” in taupe and orange quilted washed lambskin on the set. Looks like all our fall black bags will give way to something more soft and colorful this coming spring.  Cynthia’s hair is very fall 2009, though – choppy eighties’ style bobs are back in a BIG way on the streets of New York, with girls dumping their longtime middle parts and lank locks for side parted bobs with slanted bangs that blend into the cut. Overnight, every woman in NY seems to have this haircut! It’s as if Kate Gosselin is fashion’s biggest influence right now!

 

Attention: The Emmy’s are this Sunday: do you know where your gown is? Inside word is it won’t be the most glam Emmy’s of all time, for several reasons: 1/ the economy, and 2/ many of the female nominees are of the older variety, i.e., Sally Field, Glenn Close, Holly Hunter, Diahann Carroll, Ellen Burstyn, Judi Dench, Candace Bergen, Jean Smart, Holland Taylor, Eileen Atkins – and these ladies are not fashion fixated. But of course, The Desperate Housewives will be there, so will the casts of “Ugly Betty” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” and Tina Fey, Christina Applegate, Mary-Louise Parker, Vanessa Williams, Susan Sarandon, Debra Messing, Rita Wilson, Mariska Hargitay, Rachel Griffiths, Kyra Sedgwick, Cynthia Nixon, Laura Linney and Anjelica Huston will all be on hand, too. At least Heidi Klum will add some fashion glam as one of the seven hosts of the show. We know she’s wearing Giorgio Armani on the carpet – but she will probably have at least six changes. Her stylist Maryam Malakpour is NOT talking, that’s for sure.

 

Once you’ve got the dress (Barneys has the fall Dries van Noten collection in the window), start thinking parties: The hot ticket party is of course the HBO after party, at the Pacific Design Center on Sunday night. That’s where the casts of “Entourage,” “John Addams,” and “Bernard and Doris” will convene (Ralph Fiennes at an Emmy party? Well, there’s a -   for everything), and no doubt, more stars, writers, and directors. The other hot party is the joint effort between Entertainment Tonight and People Magazine at the Disney Hall, which will have Jason Bentley as deejay, and Billy Idol as musical entertainment. (A step down from Prince and Duran Duran, who’ve performed in years’ past -  but from the same decade as they are, anyway.) TV Guide’s party has the hippest entertainment: new band MGMT and The Bravery will play. Twentieth Century Fox and Fox Broadcasting cancelled their usual post-Emmy soiree, blaming on the economy. Yes, we know Rupert Murdoch is hurting bad, right?  - Merle Ginsberg

   

              The Emmy nominations were announced this morning, and while “Mad Men” and “Damages” and HBO lead the pack for actual nominations, here’s FASHIONRULE’S NOMINATIONS for which female nominees will be best and most interestingly dressed:

 

     THE FASHIONRULES RED CARPET NOMINATIONS:

 

      MOST LIKELY TO LOOK AMAZING AND CHIC ON THE EMMY RED CARPET:

 

-           Heidi Klum – working with stylist Maryam Malakpour for the last few years, she hasn’t appeared in a look off or on tv that hasn’t been traffic stopping and flattering. If she doesn’t win for “Best Reality Show Host,” she’ll nab this honor for sure

 

-           Christina Applegate – the star of “Samantha Who?” – nominated for Best Comedy actress – can’t look bad. But we hope she won’t wear sequins and stick with something sleek, since her face and figure are so fab.

 

-           Mariska Hargitay – when she overdoes it, it’s not good. But when she stays chic, she looks better than anyone.

 

         - Anjelica Huston – nominated for best actress in a drama series for “Medium”, she always turns out in something unusual – usually by pal Michael Kors

 

      MOST LIKELY TO UNDERWHELM:

 

-           She may be one of the cleverest and funny women alive – but Best Actress in a Comedy star Tina Fey – always plays it safe on the red carpet. Tina, lose the glasses, and vamp it up a little.

 

-           Laura Linney – the great actress, nominated for Best Actress in a Mini – Series for “John Addams,” is always nominated for an Emmy, an Oscar or a Globe – but she tends to play it down fashion wise. Laura, let Miuccia Prada put you in some of that fall lace – that would take it up a notch – or two.

 

-           MOST LIKELY TO SURPRISE EVERYBODY:

 

-           At last year’s Emmy’s and Globes, “Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera showed how NOT ugly she can look, and appeared practically unrecognizable in sleek gowns in flattering but strong colors. Let’s see what stops she pulls out this go round, nominated for “Best Acrress is a Comedy.”

 

 

 -           Glenn Close – nominated for an amazing acting in “Damages” (Best Actress in a Drama)  - the mature actress is having a comeback “moment” – let’s hope she takes advantage of it fashion-wise.

 

MOST LIKELY TO OVERDO IT

 

       - ‘American Idol” is nominated in the reality category, so we can’t wait to see what Paula Abdul shows up in.

 

SEX AND THE CITY ON THE RED CARPET RETURNS

 

       Cynthia Nixon was nominated as “Best Actress in a Drama Series” – that being “Law & Order, Special Victimes Unit.”  She may not LOVE glamming up – but fans of “Sex and the City” will be wishing she does. Let’s hope she lets Pat Field dress her for the big night.
