Disney Emmys After-Party 2024

Harvey attended Disney's Emmys afterparty in a third gorgeous Siriano ensemble featuring the lapel waistband trouser from the designer's Spring 2024 collection. (Thanks to @weakformemo for pointing this out!)

This is a reprise from the Critic's Choice Awards earlier this year, when Harvey paired the pants with a gorgeous cropped suit jacket that, like his outfit for the red carpet and awards show last night, also featured a large bow at the shoulder. Love that callback!

The lapel waistband trouser is designed to tease the look of a partially open fly, creating a slightly asymmetrical V shape. The folded over material is styled to mimic a lapel--thus the name--and is satin to contrast the matte material of the pant.

The open area created by this design is covered by a mesh inset with a wide satin waistband. The final effect is pants that are both high waisted and low rise, that give the sophistication of a suit pant with just a cheeky suggestion of being a bit charmingly undone. These trousers are made to order for $1,700 a pair and come in sizes up to a US women's 30.

Harvey paired the trousers with a white button-up shirt with a black faux leather batwing collar from Unique Vintage. The shirt has gathered shoulders for a light puff effect and retails for between $54 and $60. It is currently sold out in plus sizes on Unique Vintage's site, but is still available up to size US women's 3XL (size 18-20) on RebelRebel.

What a weekend! And what a week. Harvey served us not one but three gorgeous, glamourous, bat-themed outfits over the past few days. Custom embroidery, big bows, dramatic trains, and frickin' bats...this is such a perfect example of why, of all celebrities and even all plus sized celebrities, his is the fashion journey that I can't look away from.

"Some nights, if I'm sleeping on my own, I still dream about Whitethorn House. In the dream it's always spring, cool fine light with a late-afternoon haze. I climb the worn stone steps and knock on the door--that great brass knocker, going black with age and heavy enough to startle you every time--and an old woman with an apron and a deft, uncompromising face lets me in. Then she hangs the big rusted key back on her belt and walks away down the drive, under the falling cherry blossom, and I close the door behind her.

The house is always empty. The bedrooms are bare and bright, only my footsteps echoing off the floorboards, circling up through the sun and the dust motes to the high ceilings. Smell of wild hyacinths, drifting through the wide-open windows, and of beeswax polish. Chips of white paint flaking off the window sashes and a tendril of ivy swaying in over the sill. Wood doves, lazy somewhere outside.

In the sitting room the piano is open, wood glowing chestnut and almost too bright to look at in the bars of sun, the breeze stirring the yellowed sheet music like a finger. The table is laid ready for us, five settings the bone-china plates and the long-stemmed wineglasses, fresh-cut honeysuckle trailing from a crystal bowl--but the silverware has gone dim with tarnish and the heavy damask napkins are frilled with dust. Daniel's cigarette case lies by his place at the head of the table, open and empty except for a burnt-down match.

Somewhere in the house, faint as a fingernail-flick at the edge of my hearing, there are sounds: a scuffle, whispers. It almost stops my heart. The others aren't gone, I got it all wrong somehow. They are only hiding; they're still here, for ever and ever."

Emmy's Night 2024 - Glamour & Drama

Okay. Now that I've stopped screaming! Harvey graced the red carpet for Emmys Night 2024 in this gorgeous suit with a custom corset jacket by Christian Siriano.

The ensemble has echoes of his black-and-white look from the Vanity Fair Emmy's pre-party yesterday, with similar sheer details and coloring. This version ups the glamour, however, with the billowing silhouette and switch out of a black top layer rather than pale gray. It also echoes several of his past red carpet collaborations with Siriano, which often feature sheer details and coattails that extend to the point of no longer being tails but trains. It's fast becoming a classic mainstay silhouette in Harvey's formalwear repertoire.

The suit features a sleeveless tuxedo shirt tucked into black wide-leg trousers paired with an unconventional suit jacket. The jacket is made of a sheer mesh crinoline, according to Siriano, and has a large shoulder bow, wide satin peaked lapel, flared floor-length train that billows with movement, and visible black boning in the corset-style waist. The sheer jacket sleeves show off Harvey's arms, and his hair and makeup (done by Connie Agawin and Kat Bardot, respectively) are subtle glamour that balances beautifully with the drama of this suit.

FX + Vanity Fair Party

Last night Harvey attended a party hosted by FX and Vanity Fair with castmates Kayvan Novak, Mark Proksch, and Matt Berry as well as series showrunner Paul Simms.

He wore a gorgeous black and white ensemble featuring a sheer black corset by Christian Siriano and a sheer white coat by Dior. Both pieces have shown up in Harvey's red carpet style in the past, and the Dior coat has been featured in photoshoots as well.

He and Kayvan matched in contrast to their castmates and Simms, with Kayvan notably reprising his "dreamy" button-up featuring a butterfly design. Butterflies are a recurring motif in Harvey's fashion, so it's lovely to see Kayvan use it in their outfit coordination (which itself has been a recurring theme for them this summer).

Harvey's hair was done by long-time friend and collaborator Connie Agawin, while his makeup was the work of artist and producer Kat Bardot of Story Mill Entertainment, who has previously worked extensively with director Mike Flanagan and actor and producer Kate Siegel, both of whom Harvey also recently worked with on Life of Chuck and Damned If You Do, respectively.

I have to note that Harvey's eyelashes really stand out here, which is a lovely tie-in to the first poster for season 6 of What We Do In The Shadows, in which Guillermo appears to be both wide-eyed ingenue and Dr. Frankenstein's assistant.

I also enjoy the choice of another voluminous bow over a traditional tie, the untucked white shirt beneath the corset, and the choice of a wide-leg suit trouser with a black-on-black satin stripe down the outside of the pant leg. The look is finished with a pair of patent leather dress shoes.

These little details--the careful color selection, the contrasts in texture, the use of unexpected silhouettes--always make Harvey's looks stand out as fresh and unique, even when the individual elements are familiar.

As Kat Bardot noted in her Instagram story, his taste in fashion is truly unmatched.

I think this is a rare formal/semi-formal look that I can recreate with affordable options! Would anyone be interested in that info?

Harvey, Kayvan, Matt, Mark, and Paul at FX and Vanity Fair's 2024 Pre-Emmys party.

Harvey wore his sheer Christian Dior coat from his IRK Magazine photoshoot with Robert Ascroft, paired with the corset from his Christian Siriano look for Pride Across America.

AT LAST.

I've been dying to draw Nandermo in the final scene of Nosferatu The Vampyre since I saw it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. That scene is SO charged, and intimate, and tender, despite also being mutually assured destruction. And if that isn't Nandermo in a nutshell!

Now it's finally finished! This is the most difficult thing I've ever attempted, was drawn partly with my finger as I couldn't find a working stylus for the first three days, and features my only 2nd ever attempt at backgrounds. I could keep fiddling with it forever I think, but overall I'm happy with how it turned out!

Progress snapshots under the cut!

Elle Greenaway deserved better.

She deserved coworkers who didn't leave her alone when the whole team was under threat.

She deserved coworkers who didn't stand by silently while she got more and more triggered during a case that mirrored her own near-death experience.

Elle Greenaway at the very least deserved a boss who knew better than to put her in the field undercover when she was hypervigilant and disregulated to the point of zoning out and visibly twitching at every loud noise.

Her choices were her own, but damn if she wasn't led into the woods and left there at that devil's crossroads.

It's Frickin' Bats!

Last night Harvey wore another custom embroidered suit to SAG-AFTRA's Emmy Nominees Night. This time, instead of florals, the suit featured blue bats in flight across the front, crescent moons down the sides on the sleeves and pant legs, and a very special back design which incorporates images of his fellow What We Do In The Shadows cast members.

The back features Laszlo, Nandor, and Nadja hanging upside down from a tree branch as bats (as seen in the show's season 1 promo images), and a portrait of Colin Robinson mid-feed, his eyes glowing blue.

The Guide is also included, with her season 5 portrait framed by bat wings located toward the bottom on the front of the suit's torso.

The suit also features blue piping along the bedazzled lapels, matching bedazzled pocket flaps on the jacket, and additional sparkle outlining the embroidery.

(I'm still waiting for additional details on the designer of this suit, and will reblog with those as they become available.)

This is a gorgeous on-theme suit to celebrate the show as it heads into its final season. If this is Harvey's look for nominees night, I can't wait to see what he wears to the awards show itself!
