It’s that time of year again….The Emmys Best & Worst Dressed List! Overall the women looked quite glamourous! The trends for the night seemed to be shades of blue, neutrals, and sparkly numbers. Plenty of goddess draping & platform heels rocked the red carpet too.
Browse thru my best & worst picks & let me know which dresses you are still talking about, both the fabulous & the horrid…
BEST:
Anna Paquin in Alexander McQueen with Stephen Moyer. Love her, love him, love True Blood, love Alexander McQueen. Obviously my favorite look of the night. Enough said.
Claire Danes in Giorgio Armani Prive. I adore some sparkle when it is done correctly (aka no pageant dresses), and Claire mastered it in this Armani gown.
Toni Colette in Valentino with a Judith Leiber clutch. A different look for an award show but I feel it worked thanks to the subdued color palette. Digital prints have been highlighted in all the fashion magazines lately and United States of Tara star did this trend right!
Rose Byrne in Gucci. Although Rose was criticized for her ‘frizzy’ hair & I think she looks waaaay too thin… all that aside, her Gucci goddess-inspired dress was absolutely breathtaking. Her accessories were just right too for this dress, not too chunky or dainty… props to her stylist!
January Jones in Atelier Versace with Miu Miu shoes. Mad Men star January Jones caused quite a stir with this vibrant blue scale-like dress. I personally think it is UNBELIEVABLE! The color pops against her blond hair & fair skin, and the architectural nature of the dress is so unique & buzz-worthy!
All 3 Mad Men women look divine…no wonder they won for the 3rd year in a row! (from left to right: January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Christina Hendricks)
Kyra Sedgwick in Monique Lhuillier. I’ve never thought of Kyra as a style icon but she truly put her name on the style star list last night. The rich wine color of the dress, along with her flowing locks looked divine!! This burgundy color is quite on trend for fall & Kyra did it just right with a similar hued clutch & a great big cocktail ring.
WORST:
Dianna Agron in Carolina Herrera. The Glee cast member looked like she was wearing an antebellum dress made from curtains. Painful. She’s young, talented, and pretty why make yourself look like a funeral parlor?!
Kerri Russell in vintage Scherrer from Decades. Ok this dress would be absolutely fabulous & perfect for a fun night out or to a summer daytime wedding…but not the Emmys! Although Kerri was just a presenter she should have stepped it up a notch with a more formal gown. And a bra would have been nice too, just sayin’.
Heidi Klum in Marchesa. Yes Heidi you have a rockin’ body but you don’t allllwaaays have to wear a dress the size of a band-aid. And that crafty looking necklace with the embellished dress, no m’am. Oh & please have your hair dresser make your color less streaky. Thanks.
Stephanie Pratt. Someone didn’t get the memo that Jersey Shore star Snooki’s bump-it hair is not ‘of the moment’. She looks ready to go clubbing, not to the Emmys.
Rita Wilson in Prada. Every time Rita, every time. I love Prada & I love Tom Hanks but I do not love chandelier looking Prada from head to toe. She needs a fabulous feminine gown; please Rita, call Donna Karan or Vera Wang for a dress next year.
Jane Lynch in Ali Rahimi. Jane you are a hilarious award winning actress, pay for a decent stylist. The purple ombre dress looks like material from a very bad 1985 prom dress. I will say I do like the asymmetric neckline, baby steps
Naya Rivera of Glee. The hair. The scary shiny turquoise pouf. I have no words.
