Kathy Griffin, Emmy nominee and star of Bravo’s ‘My Life on the D-List,’ shares her favorite

(and not-so-favorite) Emmy red-carpet moments

Christian Satrustegui

“I liked this dress. Verdi did

not. I wouldn’t wear it today, not

with the big country western hair and

over the top bow. Now I prefer to be

a little more natural. I’ve learned. I

watch ‘Project Runway,’ so I get it

now. I’ve come to really love

the process.”

Carolina Herrera“This is actually a beaded

sweater vest. We tailored it within

an inch of its life. The skirt has this

crazy kick pleat, so it was impossible to

hem. I’m all about having a small waist

and chubby legs, so Verdi found this

ribbon from a fabric store that

was the perfect width and

the perfect sheen.”

Mon Atelier“This is the same dress that I purposefully wore two years in a row to the Emmys to try to get in a, ‘What was she think-ing?’ column of a magazine. I hemmed it and made some mi-nor changes, but totally wore it again. I actually did like this dress. It’s simple, taffeta and tight, and I have a way better body than any of those bitches on ‘Gossip Girl’. ”

Mon Atelier“My stylist Robert Verdi has

been on a crazy gay mission for

three years to get me off the Worst

Dressed list. I’ve chained him down in

a gay dungeon until he does. Since I do

possess a banging bikini bod, which

is indisputable, I like dresses that

show off my tiny waist and

this one does.”

Christian Satrustegui

“This was like a big Spanx dress,

with a bit of a train and a feather boa

on my boobs. It’s not that complicated.

This dress acted as a girdle. And I won

in it! How could I not? Verdi didn’t

help me with this dress. That year,

he was busy at Eva Longoria’s

house putting on her

thong.”

Christian Satrustegui

“I lovingly call this my teacup

dress. Christian is like a crazy gay who

lives in a two-by-two apartment and just

wants to make fabulous dresses all day. It

started out with all these wacky appliques

and I was like, ‘Tone it down, girl! Forty-

nine-year-old Emmy nominee here!

It’s already got f***ing crinoline

under the skirt.’ ”

Alexander McQueen“Verdi had to find a crazy bra

made for the ladies with real boobies for this one. It allows me to wear low-cut

dresses without having saggy boobs. Oth-erwise, they would have rested on my waist

all night. This dress is a gorgeous color and a flattering fit. And once again: simple jew-

elry. That was a lesson I had to learn quickly, because I enjoy going over

the top. I can go Drag Queen very fast.”
