Maggie’s got the prettier dress but the nastier stylist. What’s wrong with baring your legs, anyway?
Jessica on the other hand can still put the sexy in frumpy. Even with a potato sack and grandma’s shoes, she still looks stunning. Now that’s sheer talent.

What I’d like is for Julianne to take that bolero off Maggie’s back. Maggie’s LBD is far more interesting and so she should do the baring. And if Julianne’s black strapless number is not bad enough, then take a look at her footwear. How do you cover up ugly shoes? Now that’s a challenge.

MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL has banned her daughter from becoming an actress - because she’s convinced Hollywood isn’t healthy for children.
The Secretary star gave birth to daughter Ramona with her boyfriend, actor Peter Sarsgaard in 2006.
And the Brooklyn-based mum admits she’s already apprehensive about her daughter’s career path as she approaches her second birthday.
Gyllenhaal says, “I kind of try to keep her out of this kind of (showbusiness) stuff. It’s not really good for kids. I know it’s like such a cliche… I really hope she does something else. I love what I do but I don’t want to bring her around all of this stuff.”

Maggie shows off her dark side in this black and blue Zac Posen dress. It’s a little gloomy and bruised up for me so I say yes to the style and no go on the color.

Maggie Gyllenhaal has been snapped up to replace Toni Collette in an upcoming comedy from Sam Mendes.The as-yet-untitled picture from the American Beauty director tells of a young couple (John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph) who travel across the US in search of a place to call home.Collette had been attached to star as a bohemian college professor and friend of Krasinski's character but has been forced to withdraw due to a scheduling conflict.
According to Variety, Gyllenhaal has now been signed to take the role and will begin shooting in Connecticut next week. Gyllenhaal's joining of the project is not the first occasion on which she has been contracted to replace another actress. The Stranger Than Fiction star stepped in to Katie Holmes' shoes as attorney Rachel Dawes in upcoming Batman sequel the Dark Knight.
The character has recently been the subject of a viral marketing campaign, with a video leaked showing Rachel Dawes pledging her support for Gotham City politician Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) who is vying for the position of district attorney.
However, Gyllenhaal recently stressed she had no plans to mimic her predecessor in the role.
"I think she's a wonderful actress and I really admired the work that she did in the first Batman, but I don't think it would have worked if I tried to imitate her," she told SuperheroHype.com.
"I think the only way to do it is do it like myself."

What's there to love in Maggie's Peter Som outfit to the Costume Gala: ruched bodice, the color purple, the uneven hem without the color blue of course. What's to hate: the oversize bow. Fantasy or no fantasy, this outfit is wearable.

"Initially I thought that if it doesn't seem like I can do a good job and have a good time, I don't want to do it. I don't want to just do some little movie because it looks interesting, I have to think strategically. It's to do with Peter (Sarsgaard - her partner) and making sure our family comes first."- Maggie Gyllenhaal almost turned down a starring role in the new Batman film The Dark Knight - because she thought the movie would be too main stream.
"I don't want them to take my daughter's picture, it really upsets me, I can't bear it. They were so horrible when she was born. They tried to take pictures of me in labor as I was going to the hospital.
"They called the fire department on our building to get us to come outside when she was five days old. It's silly to give them the finger, but we get so frustrated." Maggie Gyllenhaal gets so angry with photographers trying to take pictures of her baby daughter Ramona, she often "gives them the finger."
"There was a long time of not getting anything, or even coming close, and lots of feedback like, 'You're not beautiful or sexy enough.'" Maggie Gyllenhaal considered giving up acting after repeatedly being told she wasn't pretty or sexy enough to land roles. The 28-year-old star took acting classes at Columbia University in New York City and began auditioning for roles full time after graduating in 1999. But she became disheartened after being rejected for part after part.

The all black outfit doesn't do anything for Maggie. I don't know if it's her posture, her hair or that she looks very uncomfortable. Maybe all of the above. She wasn't able to give life to this very dead number.

"Well, it wasn't necessarily erotic for me. It's funny, when she was first going for auditions everyone was telling her she wasn't sexy, not sexual. I remember her buying a skimpy cut-off dress for one audition and it just wasn't her. Now she is treated as a sex object. Strange." Jake Gyllenhaal on watching his sister being stripped and spanked was disturbing.
The 26-year-old actor struggled to sit through his elder sibling Maggie Gyllenhaal's erotically-charged scenes in her film 'Secretary', in which she played a woman seduced by her sadomasochistic boss.

I don't like it. There's just nothing nice I can say about the this horrible black number. The dwarf like pointy red pumps aren't helping one bit. And put in the messy hair too.

"You're invited to tons of parties, and you'll wear these shoes and that dress, and it can be enticing, but I think it also sucks you dry. If you do it a little, sure, it's fun, but too much and you start to lose your footing." - Maggie Gylenhaal

They were short on fabric and they thought no one would notice if they attached an area rug at the hemline. Unfortunately, we did.
