Lena Dunham and Zooey Deschanel Are Already Planning Their Emmy Nail Art

We here at the Fashionista offices are pretty excited about the Emmy nominations, announced this morning, because there were so many of our obsessions in the mix (Mad Men! Game of Thrones! Schmidt!). And then of course, we can't wait for the inevitable red carpet hits and misses. We aren't the only ones already thinking about Emmy night fashion. According to an interview with Vulture, Lena Dunham and real-life gal pal Zooey Deschanel are already plotting their nail art:

The Emmy nominations were announced this morning and Girls' creator (and one of our girl crushes) Lena Dunham scored four nominations. Four! She's 26! That's impressive. So obviously Dunham is already thinking about Emmy night--namely, how she'll paint her nails. You know, the important stuff. She told Vulture:

Zooey Deschanel and I have been e-mailing all morning, like, “Can you believe the women that we are getting mentioned in the same breath as?” Also, we’re planning our Emmy nails. [...] She’s got a lot of nail style. I mean, I have a couple ideas, too. I don’t want to say … I want to shock the world with what I do, and/or be stopped from painting my nails a very strange color by my very smart and crafty publicist.

Sounds like we weren't the only ones totally enamored with Zooey's Golden Globes tuxedo nails. We also loved Dunham's Wes Gordon gown she wore to this year's Met Gala, so we will sit patiently waiting to see what these girls cook up in the nail art arena (and copy it immediately, obviously).

Quote of the Day: A 17-Year-Old Zooey Deschanel Takes on Vogue

Why would you want to limit the spectrum of beauty to an "ideal" when you, as a popular womens magazine, have the opportunity to expand it? I don't think any woman should have to feel as if she needs to shove herself into an "ideal" to be beautiful. Beauty should be something that is celebrated and something that is enjoyable, not something that people should feel uncomfortable about achieving. Most of the women, and certainly most of the adolescent girls, in the United States do not feel completely secure with themselves, especially with their appearance; is insecurity something you want to advocate? As American women, we don't need discouragement, but inspiration. Zooey Deschanel Los Angeles, CA

Zooey Deschanel Sues Steve Madden for $2 Million

According to a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles, Zooey Deschanel is suing Steve Madden for $2 million. Here's why: According to the lawsuit, in August 2010 Deschanel's agent at CAA and Steve Madden made a binding, oral agreement stating that the starlet would be paid $2 million by the company to front a line of shoes, tentatively called "Zooey's Shoes and Accessories." She was told that she would be paid regardless of whether or not the items were actually produced, and that the payment would cover 13 days of work, including a photo shoot for an ad as well as press appearances. A few weeks later, Steve Madden came back to the Deschanel camp, complaining that one retailer in particular was not keen on the collaboration, which meant they'd have to reduce the fee to $1.5 million. Deschanel's agent agreed to the new fee. During this time, the actress refrained from entering into any similar contracts, as that was part of the oral agreement. Except in October 2010, Steve Madden went back to Zooey's agent and said that the deal was kaputt.
