Lots of interesting looks on the Emmy’s red carpet last night, some good, some not-so good. Lots of red on the red carpet along with other jewel tones like purple and royal blue and of course tons of sparkle and shine. Wouldn’t be an awards show without the glitz and glamour, right? Just like every other fashion maven in the country, I am going to give a little recap of my likes and dislikes:
Likey
January Jones in Atelier Versace
Yes, I know this dress is a little crazy, but the architect in me loves the lines and January Jones pulls it off effortlessly.
Joely Fisher
The dress is incredible, not feeling the same about the hair.
Dana Delaney
The fit and the color are amazing, and perfectly age appropriate.
Ginnifer Goodwin
There is a reason purple is associated with royalty, because she looks royally gorgeous in this purple number.
Sandra Oh in Marchesa
She rocked it, the hair, the dress, amazing.
Blake Lively in Versace
Hawt. Not falling head over heels for the hair, but the gown was amazing and she has the body to rock it.
Lindsay Price in J.Mendel
I fawn over purple dresses, and Lindsay Price looks stunning in this one. Too bad Lipstick Jungle got cancelled.
Alyson Hannigan (my twin!)
Everyone has always told me I look like her, so of course she had to be on the likey list 
She really does look amazing though, especially for just having had a baby.
Rose Byrne
Love the dress, although it might have been more stunning on someone a little ‘curvier’ that could fill out the shape.
Debra Messing in Michael Kors
STUNNING, my ultimate favorite of the awards.
Straddling the Fence
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Pretty dress, but this shade of yeallow seems more appropriate for Spring. I really want JLH to grow up and lose the little girl getup.
Shohreh Aghdashloo in Lorena Sarbu
The navy and the dress are nice, but not fascinating.
Kristen Chenoweth in Zuhair Murad
I love the dress, but I would say it was a little under-dressed for the Emmy’s…it would have been perfection if it was floor length.
Kate Walsh in J. Mendel
I am undecided on those saddlebag like additions, but I want her hair!
No Likey
Sarah Silverman
Prom circa 1998. Enough said.
Kyra Sedgwick
Don’t know the designer and don’t want to, yikes.
Tina Fey in Gucci
I just wish Tina Fey would step it up a little bit, this black is just boring.
Christina Applegate in Basil Soda
Never heard of this designer, not sure I ever want to again. At least Christina still looks gorgeous despite the awful navy number.
Amy Poehler in Reem Acra
Not so bad, but not so fabulous either.
Olivia Wilde in Marchesa
If it weren’t for that funky cutout down the center, I think this gown would be gorgeous.
Jennifer Morrison in Calvin Klein
Looks a little bridesmaid-esque, no?
Leighton Meister in Bottega Vaneta
Can someone please remove the powder puffs from her shoulders please? Although the color, hair and makeup all look stunning, those ‘things’ sitting a top her shoulders are throwing me off.
Drew Barrymore in Monique Lhuillier
Not so pretty, pretty princess anyone? I think the color is what did this one in…same design in black? Yes, please.
Mila Kunis in Monique Lhuillier
It is hard for me to get past the closed toe Louboutins, perhaps some strappy black heels would have worked better? It also kind of looks like my cat used the bottom of her dress as a scratching pad:
Hayden Panetierre in J. Mendel
Somebody please save this cheerleader!
I just love this graphic print Alexander McQueen dress Camilla Belle sported to the movie premiere for Push. With the Jimmy Choo Sandals, David Yurman jewels, and Swarovski clutch, this outfit would cost a regular ‘ole fashionista a fortune!

I have created a look for less that is slightly more work appropriate, but you could have the hem taken up for that short, flirty look:
Satin Pumps from Steven Madden - $90
Floral Sheath- The Limited - $80
Metallic Clutch - Urban Outfitters $25
Bracelet Set - Forever21 $7
Cocktail Ring- Forever21 $5
GRAND TOTAL – $207
That is way better than the thousands Camilla’s beautiful ensemble rings it at!
Have you seen Dakota Fanning lately? She is all grown up (ok, well really just 14) but she looks great and is really developing her own style. I think my favorite movie featuring Dakota is “I Am Sam.” It is such a touching story and has a wonderful soundtrack to go with it. I know I said I don’t like jumpsuits, but something about this style Dakota is sporting is actually kinda cute and I …might…. could pull it off?

I just love how her style is developing (especially those shoes!). It will be interesting to see how she matures as she gets older and if she becomes a wild child with all the other Hollywood gals.
Jennifer Aniston at movie premiere
Honestly, I cannot say I have ever seen Jen Aniston ever looking anything but FAB. I love this Burberry pants suit with the layered necklaces that she chose for the “He’s Just Not That Into You” premiere. Can you believe she is about to turn 40? I sure hope I look this great at 40!
Mischa Barton in Elie Saab
Mischa Barton looks gorgeous in a green Elie Saab asymmetrical gown at the Fashion Dinner for AIDS in Paris, France. The floral appliques on the bodice really make the gown stand out and you know I am a sucker for ruffles, bows, and floral details. Mischa is also looking much better than she has in a while, although a little gaunt if you ask me. It is a far cry than this hot mess at the Elie Saab show during Fashion Week:
Mischa Barton looking ROUGH
I just can’t wait to see what FABULOUS-ness the Oscars will bring in a few weeks!
