Why does the character Molly Kagan, played by Debra Messing in the Starter Wife, look so uncomfortable in the clothes she wears on the show? The fashion seems so forced. It’s not that the clothing is over the top, it seems unnatural. Debra Messing is such a natural, gifted actress and she is certainly reason enough to watch the show. She’s referred to as the next Lucille Ball for good reason, because she’s funny and we can easily relate to her. The stylist/costume designer is just not getting it right for her. I think there’s a push from the producers or whoever to have fashion play a big part in the show, and it comes across as fake. The girls from Sex and The City, and even Lipstick Jungle do a much better job pulling off high fashion. Carrie Bradshaw’s style was usually way over the top, she looked comfortable in the clothing, and we completely bought it. Why is that? Is it because those two shows are NY based, and therefore the fashions look more at home walking the city? Do the fashions that Debra Messing wears in The Starter Wife not fit the city she’s in? I’m interested to hear your thoughts on this one, because I love the show I just find that aspect of it so distracting.
