Eva Longoria’s Robert Rodriguez Emmy dress is a split decision

They say that first impressions are one of the most important parts of human interaction, and my first impression of Eva Longoria’s black Robert Rodriguez Black Label gown at last night’s 2010 Emmy Awards was…not good. And despite all of the great pictures I’ve seen of it afterward, I just can’t shake that initial feeling.

If you look closely at the gown’s bodice, you can see that it has two horizontal bands running around it, one above and one below the stomach. When I initially saw the dress on the E! red carpet coverage, it’s possible that the angle was just bad or Longoria was slouching a bit, but the placement of those two bands made her look like she had a big tummy pooch. I don’t think she does; it appears to just be an effect of the way the dress was constructed. But the gown is certainly requiring her to deal with significant corsetry to keep its shape, and with that in mind, it shouldn’t be creating that effect at all, ever.
