Holland Taylor's Sincere Response To A Fashion Critic Who Disliked Part Of Her Emmys Outfit Is Genuinely Awesome
Sometimes fashion critics and the celebrities whose red carpet looks they opine on don't get along. But Nicky Campbell and Holland Taylor are proving otherwise.
Nicky has cultivated a notable following on TikTok and Instagram, where he's known for sharing his thoughts about celebrities' looks on the red carpet and other events. On Monday, he posted a video commenting on Emmys outfits, including the one Holland Taylor wore. Holland was a nominee that evening for her work on The Morning Show.
"I really don't like when people have brooches on both sides of the lapel. Keep it asymmetrical," Nicky said.
This prompted Holland to comment on his Instagram post and clarify she wasn't actually wearing brooches.
"I generally am right with you on your takes," Holland wrote and even said she agrees with Nicky about not wearing two brooches at once. She then noted she was wearing clips. "Clips - which is what I wore on my suit, are usually worn as a pair, at either side of a wide neckline of a gown, or a boat neck, or on strong lapels," Holland, who attended the awards show alongside her partner Sarah Paulson, said.
"Mine are paste pieces, bought by my mother, barely twenty- an insane extravagance, at about 37$— $800 in today's money. Some paste is astonishingly good," she continued. As People noted, "paste" is a term for jewelry made of flint glass that is intended to appear as gemstones.
Nicky replied to Holland, offering his approval upon learning she wore clips. "Ooooh they were clips! I now APPROVE and thank you for this story - so cool! ??," he wrote.
He also posted several Instagram stories about Holland's comment, saying in one, "eating my words!" and joking in another that she ate him up in the comments section. Finally, he re-shared the first line of Holland's comment about generally agreeing with his takes and said, "All I needed to hear tbh."
