Perhaps some specific examples would help make your case?

Some examples...

Sutton Foster's a hit-or-miss case fashion-wise... half the time she looks fabulous. The rest of the time, it's total Go Fug Yourself material.

Carolee Carmello, bless her soul, looked like a hooker at the 06 Drama Desks. A very talented, blow-the-roof-off-the-theatre hooker.

Sara Ramirez, 2005 Tony Awards. Need I say more?

One might say that doing 8 shows a week doesn't allow time for much shopping, but some of the ensembles people on Broadway put together have been simply ludicrous.

Actually you're right! I know close to nothing about "fashion" but when looking at the pictures I was wondering why someone would dress so trashy to an awards ceremony? But Michael and John look nice!

I just saw this thread after I emailed my friends the link to show them how God-awful everyone looked at this thing! What the heck!!

Patricia Elliot's ensemble was a complete disaster, Eve Best looked like she was going to dinner at the Olive Garden, Mary Birdsong's combination of red and white gingham shoes with a blue-and white polka-dotted bolero and a satin blue dress confused the heck out of me -- I mean, is she going to the opera, a picnic, her grandparents' 50th anniversary party...??

I'll give Bambi Lynn a pass because she's a Broadway vet, but I was still inwardly screaming at that get-up. Jennifer Ehle was dressed for a day at Wimbledon, and there are others, but those are some of my observations.

Let's not forget Patti LuPone's dress from last years Tonys. She was going for the "Ursula in Little Mermaid" look.
I adore these people, but they shouldn't dress themselves.

Well, besides the fashion, the photos always capture every little imperfection on the actor's faces. I don't know photography well, but they clarity of the photos are so sharp and bright, that everything can be seen. Sometimes I feel bad for the people!

I think that Eve Best is stunning. She reminds me a lot of Catherine Keener, in that they're both very natural beauties. What they were born with is sexier and more attractive than anything you can buy at Mac.

Nothing wrong with both. Most natural beauties know how to enhance it with makeup.

Wow, I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. Can someone please tell me what Julie Wilson was on when she got dressed?

whoa, does Fantasia have braces or a retainer?

it looks like a retainer.

i never noticed that :)

[munkustrap178]

I believe that she has clear braces, but I could be wrong.

Donna Murphy seems like the only person to have any sense of style at all.

Oh, Broadway... I can't quit you.

Erin Davie begs to differ, ahmelie.

Gneh...

[wonderfulwizard11]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 3:27pm

I though Davie was stunning at the Theatre World Awards.

Mara Davie looked fabulous.

[SorryGrateful]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 3:44pm

Oh my god, Erin Davie forgot to put on clothes!

I thought she, Nilaja Sun, and Rosemary Harris were all stunning. Rosemary, tell your daughter, who is a hottie, to spiff it up a bit!

Hey, SG, at least she did her hair and makeup! Sometimes you just don't have time for every little detail.

[SorryGrateful]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 3:52pm

I guess we know what you'll be wearing on Tonys night, you little minx.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 3:58pm

But my hair and makeup? FLAWLESS.

And wait'll you see my shoes!

[SorryGrateful]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 4:01pm

Please tell me that you're not your friend's dresser.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 4:02pm

Oh, I'd think you'd want me to be, wouldn't you?

[SorryGrateful]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 4:03pm

Hey now, I'm not the homo-sek-shoe-ull here. Don't try to taint me.

[Rathnait62]

Mmhmm.
