I take off my hat, well I would if I were actually wearing one, to Jane Lynch, a.k.a. Sue Sylvester of Glee fame for entertaining us as the perfect host of tonight’s 63rd annual Emmy Awards.  I haven’t enjoyed an awards show that much in years.  Possibly decades.

The actress, singer, comedienne started her film career in the 1980′s (can you believe?) but she didn’t really show up on my radar until she played the butchy lesbian character in Best in Show.  For me that was her break out role and she has been wooing me with her incredible talent and humor ever since.

Jane’s personal style can be a little bit all over the map but she  definitely falls in the category of Andro style Dandi.  She is a masculine beauty who is not afraid to sport a gown and make-up.  Sometimes her style mimic’s what her character Sue Sylvester might wear, I sometimes think her stylist doesn’t quite know what to do with a Dandi that isn’t  boxed into wearing suits all of the time.

She loves to wear long coats and long dresses which work well on her statuesque body.  She goes for the more feminine shoe which slims out her lines and she sticks with fairly muted colors except when presenting on stage.

Jane doesn’t seem to wear any particular designer though designer David Meister did her first gown of the evening for the Emmy’s.

Jane, in my opinion is a great Dandi of style.  I think that she is classy and funny and that her style is ever evolving.  I love a lot of her looks and the fabrics that she wears with ease.  Even in tonight’s gowns as well as the jacket seen here she is clearly not afraid of a little sparkle.

I bet, as she becomes more and more of a presence in Hollywood the voice of her style will grow as she becomes one of our first 21st century Dandi style icons.

You were great tonight Jane.  My favorite joke being the one where you said that many people asked you why you were a lesbian.  Very funny!
