Emmy’s Fashion Recap

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.

Actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick arrive at the 61st Primetim

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.

Actress Leighton Meester arrives at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awar

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.

       Actress Drew Barrymore arrives at the 61st Primetime Emmy

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!

The Look for Less: Camilla Belle

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:

StarStyle: Dakota Fanning

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.

Does Jennifer Aniston ever have a bad day?

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 WOWS in Elie Saab

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:

I just can’t wait to see what FABULOUS-ness the Oscars will bring in a few weeks!
