Behind the Insta-Scenes: Photos from the Set

28 Oct

Before the deluge of Halloween costume photos we’ve got a scare free collection of TV Instagram highlights with far more treats than tricks including Looking, You’re the Worst, Jane the Virgin and more Daenerys fashion tips.

 

Welcome to the Looking feels portion of this week’s TV Insta and as the movie starts shooting this week most of the cast are back in San Francisco. It is bittersweet that this charming show is coming to an end so soon, but at least there will be one last final hurrah instead of just getting canceled into oblivion.

 

It’s not just the romantic pairings that I am heavily invested in and I want all the good things for long time besties Dom and Doris.

Back to the beginning and a super cute shot that is reinforcing my confused shipper feelings. Never have I gone back and forth this much on who I want a character to end up with.

 

Last week’s episode of You’re the Worst answered the Gretchen mystery in a way that managed to make me want to curl up and sob while still delivering on the laughs, which is an incredibly hard line to walk. Kether Donohue posted a tribute to Aya Cash’s stunning performance giving further insight into this episode and nails what makes this such a special show. Plus this photo delivers on Cash as my sunglasses queen.

And this is just super cute. Plus there are those Ray Bans again – get on my face. Sunday Funday Halloween tonight!

 

Dream aesthetic ahoy from Holly Taylor wearing what looks to be an excellent sweater and living the food dream on the set of The Americans. I’ve said it before, but it is easy to buy that Taylor could be Keri Russell’s daughter from her hair alone.

 

It is also easy to believe that Taraji P. Henson and Jussie Smollett could be mother/son from their excellent matching resting bitch face.

 

More impressive family casting similarities and this super smiley selfie, while hanging out in Jane’s favorite store is far too adorable.

All the heart eye emojis because I have strong feelings about bathroom hangouts both fictional and real life.

Ideal cute dungarees outfit ahoy from Jenny Slate.

 

These might not quite go with the spectacular dragon necklace and the other costume embellishments Daenerys wears on Game of Thrones, but they could hide quite nicely under her blonde locks.

Nasim Pedrad will be back on New Girl next season much to my delight and the guys seem various amounts of pose happy.

It is hard to tell where Will Forte’s hair ends and Kristen Schaal’s begins in this intense The Last Man on Earth group shot.

 

There’s a lot Fitz has done wrong on Scandal, but his suits are always impeccable and designer Zac Posen is also a fan.

The Wish List: Jane the Virgin’s Sparkly Dress

22 Oct

Jane hasn’t had much opportunity to wear fancy dresses of late on Jane the Virgin and even showering is far down her list of priorities on this new season. Cue ‘Bachelorette Jane’ and a series of appearances to try and help Jane with her Team Michael/Team Raphael decision. This means plenty of wine drinking, rose holding and an endless stream of scenarios in an attempt to get her to pick one guy. This version of Jane wears a series of glitzy dresses all with a common sparkly theme and as the festive season is not all that far away (how is it almost November already?) this is the time to start thinking about holiday party attire.

Bachelorette Jane wears a series of long and short frocks and it is this Adrianna Papell sequin number which could work for a number of events as short is more versatile. Plus it is available in four colors if you fancy it bit more choice) and it’s not crazy expensive either.Jane the Virgin 2.02 Jane the Virgin 2.02 sparklyOne of the things I have discussed in the past regarding the costuming on Jane the Virgin is how the clothes worn by Jane are often from affordable stores rather than just a series of high end items. Of course she also wears some designer garments, but not everything Jane wears will cost you a month’s rent.

Take this striped casual top, which is by Stylus and is available from JC Penney; it is also super cute. Seeing Jane in fancy frocks is fun, but her everyday attire is just as appealing.

Behind the Insta-Scenes: Photos from the Set

14 Oct

The returning shows keep on coming and so do the cast reunions on this week’s “Behind the Insta-Scenes.” Plus costume treats galore and other on-set antics.

 

Jane the Virgin is back (!) and this lady will be guest starring soon (!). It is all the better knowing Rogelio will be involved somehow.

 

And now a message of love from the Jane the Virgin cast.

 

Viewing party treats and this cast is all over Instagram for your Jane fix.

 

Petra’s getting pregnant cons list is long and includes maternity clothes, but now I want to see what costume designer Rachel Sage Kunin would stir up in this department. Meanwhile here is a regular costume fitting (this dress is fabulous) and Entertainment Weekly has more behind the scenes snaps courtesy of Yael Grobglas.

 

Game of Thrones costume sneak peeks courtesy of Emilia Clarke. And for a moment I thought Daenerys was going to be rocking a knit beanie this season (not really, but the wig net does look like winter head wear).

 

Look who else is in Spain. Possibly a coincidence, probably shooting Game of Thrones (as well as selfies).

 

Oh hey Team Marvel (on Netflix) at New York Comic-Con.

 

Killer cheekbones alert at NYCC from this Jessica Jones duo.

https://instagram.com/p/8lq1O5g2fi/?taken-by=sethgreen

 

NYCC also led to a couple of TV reunions which made me feel all the things.

https://instagram.com/p/8l62fVg2dX/?taken-by=sethgreen

 

And this one.

 

More Buffy treats from Sarah Michelle Gellar with this take on National Angel Food Cake Day. Yep that is a day apparently and I like this version better.

https://instagram.com/p/8l7YPTSaiE/?taken-by=americaferrera

 

America Ferrera’s old co-workers can’t keep away and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Judith Light or Vanessa Williams next.

https://instagram.com/p/8mPyRjDaQe/?taken-by=nikkibeharie

 

More glasses to add to the covet list and trailer fun times from Sleepy Hollow.

https://instagram.com/p/8o6MyIq0f0/?taken-by=holly_taylor

 

Production has started on season 4 of The Americans and Holly Taylor shared this spy like shot of the first table read (she also posted a clearer look at the table read set up on Twitter).

 

For us The Leftovers has only just started, for the actors they just finished filming the finale. Will we find out the backstory of the wedding dress gardening woman? And how she manages to keep it so clean while doing a task like this.

 

Digging Sherlock’s stripes and less than a month until Elementary is back.

 

Gabby Sidibe’s caption just made me laugh a whole lot.

 

It kinda looks like Taraji P. Henson and Jussie Smollett are reacting to Gabby’s previous photo. Instead they were watching Empire and this really could be in reference to any number of scenes.

https://instagram.com/p/8yRgtWJQ5H/?taken-by=mindykaling

 

A treasure trove of patterned and colorful garments for Mindy Kaling to try on for a Mindy Project fitting. My eyes are instantly drawn to the starry number.

Behind the Insta-Scenes: Photos from the Set

30 Sep

A whole lot returning shows and soon to be returning shows as the new fall season is here. Which means plenty of social media engagement and this is one bumper “Behind the Insta-Scenes.”

https://instagram.com/p/8N-FbpPqE-/?taken-by=skittishkid

 

Breaking theme early and let’s start with the photo I can’t even deal with; dudes from Friday Night Lights and an adorable baby.

 

Empire returned last week and cast viewing parties for the premiere were all the rage.

 

Taraji P Henson caught the more chaotic side.

 

And new cast member Marisa Tomei was joined by a few famous friends (and Empire co-creator Lee Daniels).

 

The HUGE Empire viewing numbers are a good indicator of hype matching the amount of people watching and Jane the Virgin’s Gina Rodriguez posted this selfie from the Emmys to celebrate its return.

 

One more Empire post and this super fierce Cookie in sweats look.

 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine also returned this week much to our delight (Gina’s sweater game was the human equivalent of the 100 emoji) and this photo from a night shoot is old horror movie reaction fantastic. Stephanie Beatriz is giving glasses frames inspiration.

 

And she is also killing it on the work snuggie front.

 

Victor Garber is now on Instagram! So hopefully this means Alias Throwback Thursday posts are coming our way.

 

Getting a good look at Willa Holland in Thea’s crime fighting costume on Arrow. I have questions relating to the treadmill.

 

Willa Holland still in her new getup with the Arrow ladies/bad ass bitches.

 

Rounding out the CW superhero Instas with The Flash’s Danielle Panabaker showing off some heavier bangs for Caitlin and a pair of boots that will probably never be seen on screen.

 

Moving onto another CW show and Jane the Virgin returns in just under two weeks! That is a very interesting looking table/assortment of drinks and snacks.

 

More Jane and this time goofing around with snacks. Or recreating that iconic John Locke Lost moment.

 

Emilia Clarke finally her hands on a Game of Thrones Emmy. Or rather someone’s hand. And that’s what holds her hair in under all of Daenerys’ locks.

 

While we’re on the subject of Emmy winners.

 

There’s the posing hard version…

 

And the ‘they’re just like us’ version.

https://instagram.com/p/8AALjgpQ0x/

 

Bookending this week’s post with another adorable photo.

Behind the Insta-Scenes: Photos from the Set

16 Sep

As with the majority Behind the Insta Scenes posts this one could be renamed “Ladies We Love” and this has been a very busy week for offset antics from award shows to NYFW. Don’t worry we still have plenty of fall shows to countdown to, celebrate the return of and some that are even further away.

 

Kiernan Shipka delivers her best Sally Draper pensive stare and an impression of what this character might have looked like if we’d got to see Mad Men in the late 70s. Or rather she is giving good fierce face for Teen Vogue.

 

Another excellent face giver is Mae Whitman with a closer look at her super long lashes and red lip color from the Creative Arts Emmys. Still one of my favorite dresses from the many dresses we have talked about this week.

 

Brie Larson delivers an accurate representation of what 8 am feels like when you have to talk to people and a red lipstick I would very much like to know the brand/shade of.

https://instagram.com/p/7hJ-kLpQ2N/?taken-by=mindykaling

 

The Mindy Project is back and the first episode of season 4 is available to stream on Hulu. Mindy Kaling’s new book Why Not Me? is also out today and this very packed schedule means all the amazing outfits. Here is a sneak peek at what Mindy has in store.

https://instagram.com/p/7oefo_pQxy/?taken-by=mindykaling

 

And this is an instant favorite.

 

More Venice Film Festival boat shots. Just because.

 

Happy 30th Birthday Elle! Lots of stars posted their covers on Instagram under #Elleat30, but (and this will come as no shock) I particularly like Diane Kruger’s celebratory remarks.

 

Elisabeth Moss does the Toronto Film Festival right and in a fantastic outfit to boot.

https://instagram.com/p/7dVD2HJqHu/?taken-by=daniebb3

 

A lot of the Orange is the New Black cast have attended fashion week and are also in stunning new campaigns, but this is how they do NYFW when in costume. Danielle Brooks is working it.

 

Not alone in posing up a storm and Gina Rodriguez is showing off the new season 2 artwork. Not long to go until we find out what happens to baby Mateo.

 

Team Empire group selfie alert from their season 2 premiere event at Carnegie Hall on Saturday.

 

More selfies en masse and how else can you commemorate the first day of shooting a new show? Legends of Tomorrow won’t debut until next year, but I’m sure there will be plenty of onset photos and Flash/Arrow appearances before then.

NYFW Fantasy Costuming: Styling Comedies with Kate Spade New York

12 Sep

Fall TV is so close and New York Fashion Week is already looking ahead to Spring 2016 and so the time has come for some more Fantasy Costuming. Starting with a very colorful and playful collection from Kate Spade New York which is ideal for comedy shows such as the The Mindy Project, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, New Girl, Jane the Virgin and even You’re the Worst (there are leather jackets and super cool sunglasses). Comedy utilizes bold costuming with a strong color palette and plenty of patterns because I guess it might be considered inappropriate to wear outfits like these in court or while trying to solve crime or something. Kate Spade New York definitely does the bright thing and then some giving us something to smile about.

The novelty bag trend for Kate Spade continues with a whole array of animals and objects with the Admit One clutch going to the top of the covet list. If you’re after something a bit more traditional then there are plenty of non-novelty purses with some incorporating the signature daisy motif from this collection.

Here are some of the standout looks that would look ideal in some current and sadly gone too soon sitcoms.

Kate Spade car bagSparkles for Mindy on The Mindy Project and perfect for festive party season.

Kate Spade trench part twoAnd a workplace look for Mindy. Maybe not quite enough pattern clashing here.

Kate Spade flowerNew Girl won’t be back until mid-season, but this is perfectly Jess.

Kate Spade Pushing DaisiesAnd Jess is a character that probably would own a dog shaped purse and this gorgeous super girly floral full skirt.

Kate Spade playsuitSticking with New Girl and Cece is definitely a fan of the patterned jumpsuit.

Kate Spade rainbowOne character who really embraces every candy color possible is Kimmy Schmidt and a lot of this collection would fit in her wardrobe (if this character suddenly got a pay rise). Or a cute outfit for Jane the Virgin’s Petra as she does love a cute short short.

Kate Spade admit oneThe bag I am a little obsessed with and a dress for Jane on Jane the Virgin for post-maternity wear.

Kate Spade daisy shortsThis has Eliza from Selfie written all over it and now I am super sad about the lack of Henry/Eliza resolution. Yes I’m going to go listen to “Chandelier” again. It would also be perfect for Petra and her stems.

Kate Spade CapeI would love to see Petra pull a dramatic turn and wear a cape. Or I would like to see this cape in my closet.

Kate Spade stripe skirt

This skirt is maybe slightly longer than Gretchen’s usual style on You’re the Worst, but if we borrow one of the leather jackets from the galley below then it is certainly edgy enough for her work place attire.

Behind the Insta-Scenes: Photos from the Set

9 Sep

Plenty of drinking, dancing and fabulous outfits included in this week’s TV (and film) Instagram highlights as fall TV quickly approaches.

 

Kicking off with my new favorite Instagram account and the Venice Film Festival has certainly delivered on the red carpet front. It was hard to pick just one shot from Greg Williams because there so many stunning and very fun photos to choose from, so I narrowed it down to a couple when really it could have been WAY more. First up Jake Gyllenhaal’s boat face is a thing of wonder.

 

Ruffalo and Tucci fixing each other up. This is a whole lot of handsome man in evening wear.

 

Now feeling an even deeper affinity for Diane Kruger upon learning she is a spiller.

 

Danish Pacey has been the unofficial nickname for Borgen star Pilou Asbæk in plenty of Twitter convos so this post from Joshua Jackson brought squeals of delight (and was all the better as it occurred on my birthday). Now to find a movie/show they can star in as brothers.

https://instagram.com/p/7Yfjdpi_sd/?taken-by=youretheworstfxx

 

Happy You’re the Worst Day! Celebrate with a plate of Edgar’s nachos.

 

Jussie Smollet continues to torture his onscreen mom Taraji P. Henson by surreptitiously filming her in various sleeping/singing positions.

 

Lots of dancing on the Jane the Virgin set and Justin Baldoni and Brett Dier heart each other a whole lot more than their characters do.

 

Exhibit B of how much this cast likes to dance.

 

So ready for Bridget Regan causing more havoc on this show.

 

And also on this one.

 

A work outfit that I would like in my closet. And Jessica Williams is pulling a real life heart eyes emoji face. [insert own heart eye emoji face here]

 

I don’t know how Queen Margo Martindale has not already been on The Good Wife, but here she is filming the forthcoming seventh season.

 

From the mega Shondaland triple magazine shoot for Entertainment Weekly, Essence and People. There are a whole lot of people on these shows.

 

SJP joins Billy Eichner for some running around the street and shouting at people antics. I cannot wait.

Fierce halter fashion from Jenny Slate.

https://instagram.com/p/7S7zzkOqYZ/?taken-by=jennyslate

 

Followed up by this matching bralet and shorts beauty.

https://instagram.com/p/7G7q3eitPg/?taken-by=januaryjones

 

Ah the benefits of being famous. January Jones is still repping a strong hashtag game.

A very happy holiday weekend and end of the summer from James Wolk. You’re welcome.

Behind the Insta-Scenes: Photos from the Set

25 Aug

So many fall shows are on the horizon and there are plenty of countdowns to premiere dates on Instagram from a variety of sets and editing bays including Jane the Virgin, Empire, The Mindy Project and Black-ish.

 

Gina in the middle with the ongoing battle between check shirts and v neck sweaters on Jane the Virgin.

 

Working mirrored sunglasses in a way I could only dream of is Taraji P. Henson.

 

And what it might look like if Empire was on cable.

https://instagram.com/p/6pu5FTCMg-/?taken-by=maybeayacash

 

When branded freebies from your own show come in very useful. Yes I would very much like my own trash juice receptacle.

https://instagram.com/p/6yhd4vGRl1/?taken-by=traceeellisross

 

Black-ish is on my never ending catch up list and this clip alone is enough to bump it up the list into a prime spot.

https://instagram.com/p/6nugECCpZt/?taken-by=abbijacobson

 

A much needed dose of Broad City and the best kind of resting face.

 

In this week’s Orange is the New Black installment something is going down in the kitchen.

https://instagram.com/p/6tSQOgJQwz/?taken-by=mindykaling

 

Mindy Kaling’s Saturday night premiere editing shows off more Bedhead pajama treats on a variety of screens.

 

Playing House is pure lady friendship happiness and Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham blew the first whistle at the Los Angeles Derby Dolls bout last weekend. Here they are clutching their whistles and Parham’s Johnny Depp tee (from Clashist) is a good reminder of his pre-Pirates persona.

 

Eye makeup goals from Tina Turnbow with The Affair’s Julia Goldani Telles showing off ultimate wings.

https://instagram.com/p/61HWKQgkaA/?taken-by=allthenewsthatsfitztoprint

 

Best birthday present food truck. Don’t spill any sauce down your costume (because that is definitely something I would do).

 

A new hair color and a stunning blue Monique Lhuillier gown for Elisabeth Moss. Excelled lipstick too.

Behind the Insta-Scenes: Photos from the Set

19 Aug

The steady stream of shows returning to set for the fall season continues and we’ve got a mix of weekly favorites such as The Mindy Project and Orange is the New Black with some new faces. Plus magazine cover flashbacks, editorial dance parties and some style highs on this week’s “Behind the Insta-Scenes.”

 

Jane the Virgin is back for season 2 in October (Monday 12) and the cast are looking all kinds of adorable as they sit down and fist bump over their first table read of the new TV year. And I just remembered Britney Spears is going to be on the show, which might send me down another happy Britney gif hole. I am more than fine with this.

 

Cute summer dress goals with a twist of 1960s inspiration courtesy of Mae Whitman – who killed it on the Teen Choice Awards red carpet – in Rachel Antonoff when she appeared on The Tonight Show. Whitman got to squish up with Kevin Spacey and Keegan Michael Key and various others in a phone booth and this dress held up well.

 

Morgan’s tattoo is making an appearance on season 4 of The Mindy Project but it’s Mindy’s Bedhead flamingo pjs that have caught my eye. Adding to the ever growing Mindy covet list.

 

It’s not just the ladies who are awash with color and print on The Mindy Project as Garret Dilahunt gives a sneak peek at his bold costuming. Dilahunt will be playing Mindy’s maternity leave cover and he thinks she is a ‘tacky idiot.’

 

I have definitely got some accidental #NOTASNAP videos on my phone from various nights out where stumbly fingers change the setting, but this one by Chelsea Peretti seems all purpose.

 

Also from the Brooklyn Nine-Nine set and could this be the return of the wolfie sweater? Or maybe just an old picture (her hair looks different so I’m leaning towards it making a comeback). I am so excited for the return of one of TV Ate My Wardrobe’s sweater and all round costume queens.

 

Your weekly dose of Orange is the New Black set life with Samira Wiley posting a photo on Instagram while she is looking on Instagram.

 

On set but not in costume with Jackie Cruz showing her support for the ‘free the nipple’ campaign in a cute crop top, jorts and Cons combo.

 

The cast of Empire are featured in the iconic Vogue September issue; all super glammed up and with plenty of dancing on set.

 

So here for old magazine covers, particularly ones which don’t really make a whole lot of sense. Like why did they think the licking of the face thing was a good direction to go in? It is definitely something different that’s for sure and I feel a lot better about this than the other face licking which has appeared on TV recently (I’m looking at you Scandal).

 

This has made me equal parts happy and sad; I’m still not over you, Carrie Diaries.

 

It’s a party over at Sleepy Hollow for Jenny Mills, the returning Joe Corbin and a mystery man played by Anthony K. Hyatt.

 

I didn’t see the first season of Secrets and Lies – did Ryan Phillippe do it? – but Juliette Lewis and her sharp dressing new cast mates are making me very intrigued for season 2.

 

Happy Wednesday!

Teen Choice Awards Red Carpet: Best Sparkles

17 Aug

The Teen Choice Awards is not meant for me* and as I’m scrolling through thumbnails I’m coming up blank on who half of the attendees are (once again this awards show is not meant for me), but there are a couple of super sparkly dresses that caught my eye and so let’s start the week with some pretty.

*I love teen movies and shows both from when I was a teen and now, but this is only a tiny part of teen culture hence the blanking on so many faces.

Mae WhitmanFirst up Mae Whitman in a really fun Novis frock that manages to incorporate color, pattern and sequins and still look super chill. Whitman is a delight as is her choice of attire.

Gina RodriguezI’m still mad Gina Rodriguez didn’t get an Emmy nod (she had the best FOC ad for starters and also there’s THAT performance) but here she is looking great in Alberta Ferretti. There is something 70s crotchet cool about this (if such a category exists) and it’s manages to be TCA fun while also looking like something she could wear to the other TCA.
