🎙️ Fashion Thursdays: Emmy Red Carpet vs. Venice Film Festival — Hits, Misses & Why Europe Wins
Host: Diane Gilman, The Queen of Jeans
This week Diane delivers an unfiltered, hilarious, and deeply informed post-mortem on the hits, misses, and “what were they thinking?” moments from the 2025 Emmy Awards red carpet, then elevates the game with a tour through the spectacular, sophisticated fashion triumphs of the Venice Film Festival. She covers it all: questionable silhouettes, the black dress epidemic, red’s surprisingly flattering run, and what makes a gown great for the world stage.
What You’ll Hear
- A no-punches-pulled roast of Emmy looks: baby blue prom disasters, shell pink nightmares, clumsy cowboy hats, and more—contrasted to the artistry and risk-taking in Venice
- Expert critique on silhouettes, color choices, styling, and how even TV’s hottest stars sometimes miss the memo on owning the visual moment
- Insightful praise for standouts: Selena Gomez nailing red, the genius of micro minis with maximum impact, and the way Amal Clooney owns the red carpet in self-styled fuchsia
- Discussion of why European film festival style is miles ahead—daring, dramatic, masterful with fabric, color, and body diversity, all while battling heat and humidity
- Real talk on dressing for body type, the importance of confidence, and why some of the season’s most memorable gowns require both technical mastery and serious daring

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
