Emmys 2012 WERQ: Lucy Liu in Versace

Posted on Sep 24, 2012 in Fashion

Dearly beloved, let us start the day off with a prayer.

Lucy Liu attends the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards in a Versace dress paired with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and a Giuseppe Zanotti clutch.

Versace Fall 2012 Collection/Model: Lindsey Wixson

Amen.

Oh, and you WERQ that fierce-as-shit robot-girl dress, Miss Lucy! Sci-fi snaps.

Wow!
- HomeOfficeGirl
  
  Indeed! Perfect! Ageless…
  - Sobaika
    
    Liu is pretty ageless, she looks the same (better?) than her Charlie’s Angels days.
    
    And that dress! Robo-fierce
- Cathy S
  
  Yes, exactly!
GorgeousThings

Give it up for Donatella, too. She may look scary beyond all reason, but she can design some serious fierceness!

  Versace is not for everyone but Miss Liu here is the perfect client, with a sharp edge.

Blimey, you boys are up early! I hope you’re mainlining coffee and working on those Emmy posts for us

Lucy Liu is so perfect, this dress is killer, I feel like she should be strutting down the catwalk while George Michael sings in the background

Reminds me of the Futurama episode where Fry illegally downloads a Lucy Liu bot, makes copies, and then they try to take over the world. #NerdAlert

(Seriously, she looks awesome though!)

  Exactly! Nerd snaps all the way around.

  I will never not think of that episode when I think of her.

She served fierceness! Brilliantly done!

oh WERQ. damn! and amen!

Personally, I don’t like the dress. However, she does look amazing. Hair, accessories, jewelery are all just right.
MilaXX

Loved this look. And she gets props for wearing a metal dress in what was reportedly pretty hot weather. WERQ indeed

My first thought was Holy Smokes!!
Jordan Brodley

I was very wrong when I thought that this dress may be vintage Mugler, but dayum bitch. work it out.

That is seriously AMAZING.
Targettaste

Maybe a WERQ as a red carpet look from afar, but in the close up it looks like a Project Runway nontraditional materials (hardware store) challenge that needed editing.

I was thinking more retro chain mail than futuristic robot girl. And after Zooey Deschanel’s dress got caught on it…
Corsetmaker

I would love to get close to that mesh fabric and find out if it’s doing the work on it’s own or if it’s supported on something stronger. It looks quite sheer. Interesting.
She looks great.
- Sartorial_She
  
  It was subtly sheer–but sheer nonetheless–when she was on stage to present. The entire skirt was see-through.
  - Corsetmaker
    
    It looks like the underdress/corsetry stops at the thigh, you can see it as the model walks. I make sheer corsets and there aren’t many sheer fabrics that are strong enough. Basically that dress is a masterpiece of construction and I’d kill to see the insides of it!

Love it. Concerned for how she managed to sit in it, but love it still.

I’m even forgiving what I suspect are platforms under it. Poor girl is so wee she had to wear something chunky and you probably couldn’t take it up without pliers.
- AnneElliot
  
  Yes, I noticed at the ceremony she was wearing ENORMOUS platforms, but she’s tiny.

I love it!!
Melissa Brogan

That bustline is bizarre, but whatever. Lucy Liu is working the hell out of that dress.

This is one of the few memorable in a good way dresses of the night. Good for Lucy bringing some drama to the carpet.

Lucy Liu is just a gorgeous, gorgeous woman. And she gained my respect as an actress after her stint on “SouthLAnd”. She was damn near flawless. I wished she was recognized for her work on that show.
Judy_S

A true WERQ. She looks spectacular, in a dress that is very much all-or-nothing.
neofashionista

Love this
The new super size sequence is interesting but fresh
If only we could all never age like ms lucy!!!
NCDFan

When I saw this my jaw dropped, it’s totally fierce.
Spicytomato1

She is so beautiful, and I love how this dress gives her an edge. Plus, I give her major bonus points for rocking a ponytail in a way that doesn’t look post-gym-like. Perfection. Other celebs: take note.
- sweetestsith
  
  It looks like it was actually *gasp* styled! I do hope other ladies take note, her pony is perfect and it’s a nice compliment/contrast/whatever to the dress.
  - out for a walk
    
    Totally agree. I think her hair generally looks great – props to her hair stylist!
Vaniljekjeks

STUNNING! This is a WERQ+. Everyone else should just bow.
megohd

Better on her than on the model. Gotta love that.
- natalia osiatynska
  
  That was my first thought, too. It’s a special kind of WERQ unto itself, showing up the model like that!

What a great way to start the day, she looks perfect!

I love seeing a crazy dress being WERQ’d. She nailed it.

Holy sweet God, she gets best-dressed hands DOWN.

Amazing!

Fug Girls said it was totally see-through.

she looked fantastic! but, it was totally see-through. wonder if she knew that up-front.

Beam me up Scotty!
janierainie

perfect.
http://theargiehome.blogspot.com/ Gus Casals

As you say, this is a dress for professionals, and Miss Lucy is getting her PhD. here.
piecesofconfetti

She looks a little stiff, but otherwise gorgeous. I think I see platform shoes under that dress though. Sigh.
PeggyOC

I, for one, welcome our robot overlords and will gladly wear their uniform. Fierce as hell.

Space Barbie!

Preaching to the choir! This is amazing. Lucy looks awesome.

I literally gasped when I saw this! Spectacular!

Snaps!

why is she carrying a thermos?

  I think it might be a lightsaber!

Her skin looks absolutely luminous. Ageless. Stunning. Wow.
filmcricket

So glad to see her step away from the girly stuff she usually wears and really BRING IT. Look of the night, for me. Disco-bot fabulousness!
twocee

Yea! I LOVED that dress last night, and I get stupidly happy when TLo agrees with me
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1208138556 Sara Munoz Munoz

Gorgeous. Perfect makeup.

But I’m still not going to watch her new show. Benedict Cumberbatch is all the Sherlock I need.
crackineggs

Man, talk about sacrificing your body! That must have hurt to wear, but it looks awesome.
- meowing
  
  Can you imagine sitting down in it, and for nearly 4 hours at that. Ouch, the price of beauty.

That is one glorious column of AWESOME.

Museum worthy… the entire package!

KA-POW!!!!
BarbaraNovak

James VanDerBeek tweeted that she jingled when she walked past. Visual and aural impact -I love it!
Anathema_Device

Her boobs have angry eyes, and still the whole look is fabulous.
Lisa Dugan

That is a crazy awesome and awesomely crazy dress.

BazoDee

Amazing! (although I do hate just knowing she’s wearing platforms with these)
EEKstl

It’s just…perfection. Her hair is amazing, great choice.
ChristinaRi

She looks like a perfect little botoxed warrior princess. She’s really lovely. I wonder who else could have worn that dress so perfectly.
Zippypie

As much as I can’t stand Lucy Lui, she is fierce in this dress! Damn! Everything is perfect. Now the only problem I had with this dress was that it was SHEER onstage. Ooooops!
Trisha26

One of my faves of last night. Totally outrageous but gorgeous.
http://www.joannao.blogspot.com JoannaOC

Maybe my favorite dress of the night. I though the colors were reflections, but now i see they are part of the dress. Metropolis realness!
http://twitter.com/cornekopia Shawn EH

That’s Versace? It could totally pass for Gaultier. I think her hair should be crazier, but she’s hot!
eruannalle

My absolute favourite look of the whole night. I actually gasped when I saw her! She just looks perfect.
Rebecca J.

It looks like a life-sized silver Oscar statue in dress form.

  Agreed. My first thought was, “Doesn’t it break some kind of etiquette to wear an Oscar to the Emmys?”
SVLynn

Agreed, my favorite of the night! Truly spectacular, and she was amazing on Southland last year.
Victoria Sharoyan

This was easily my favorite head to toe look last night. Love the hair, especially!
http://asskickingadviser.com/ Ass Kicking Adviser

Really? This didn’t work for me. She’s lovely – it’s Lucy Liu after all – but the dress was too – a literal chain mail corset.Madonna stage outfit .
DylanCurtis

It looked amazing on stage too.
Alxie

I turned on my TV for exactly one minute last night, saw this dress, and thought, “Oh yeah, TLo’s gonna be all over this!”
Tuana Neves

She’s looking like a sexy ice queen dominatrix and I’m loving it.
Nonmercisansfacon

In. Awe.
Lilak

Celebrity, know thyself . . . This is how you do it.
Qitkat

So I was right in thinking the model looked like some kind of Cyborg creature. But Miss Lucy? Wow. Love the blending effect the color changes made in her gown. Perhaps the very best she has ever looked.
girliecue

Lucy Liu shows us all you need to do to conquer an alien planet is beam down looking like this. Bow down before the Empress of the Universe!
DCSheehan

She looks fantastic but that dress is a costume. A silly costume. But she looks fantabulous anyway.
http://tinyglimpses.blogspot.com/ Meg P. W.

Lucy Liu is unfairly gorgeous. It’s like she’s aging in reverse.
GTrain

LOVE LOVE LOVED this dress and it looked even better onstage.
ccm800

Indeed! whoa!

Eeeeeveryone else can go home – we’re done here! FABULOUS!!!
lucasuk82

44 years old? How is that possible? They better write an aging program into the Liu-bot or workers are gonna riot.
betorah

Don’t know what planet she beamed down from, but it sure is fierce!
LambeeBaby

I think she is great, but I see a bunch of hole reinforcers.
letter_M

Positively FLAWLESS
frankystein123

Definitely a 10.
Truly_Outrageous

Amen. LOL! Never have I laughed so hard after a prayer.
Jessica O’Connell

That dress is…intensely awesome. You go Lucy!!
LesYeuxHiboux

Lucy is my patron diva. Love huh.
http://twitter.com/MissTanya Tanya Edwards

I have been told by folks on the carpet that this thing was see through. Not good.
NICHOLAS PASQUALE

Damn, Liu. Get it!
http://twitter.com/TMamBo Therese Bohn

I don’t usually go for stuff like this, but damn! I’d completely wear this to a gala if I had her figure!
