2011 Emmy Fashion Wrap-Up

In case you missed the 63rd annual Emmy Awards that premiered last Sunday, here are my fashion “bests” (and not so "bests") of the night.

Hands Down Best Dress

Lea Michele

Marchesa

I...WANT...THIS...DRESS! I love the color, I love the fabric, and I love the unexpected deep-v back. Most of all, I love the Pippa Middleton circa Royal Wedding vibe it gives off.  In my eyes, Marchesa can do no wrong.

Best Dress From Outer Space

Amy Poehler

Peter Som

It was metallic, it was blue, it had sleeves, and it could easily pass for a space ship. This dress would have been perfect for an award show in a galaxy far far away, but here, it just looked strange. 

Best Cut

Julie Bowen

Oscar de la Renta

It takes a brave fashionista to bare such a deep-v neck, but this dress fits Julie like a glove. It has just enough sex appeal without being too "Jersey Shore," and just enough sparkle without being too “Vegas Show Girl.”

Best Home Furnishing Replica

Heather Morris

Ina Soltani

Martha Stewart called, she wants her curtains back.

Best LBD

Evan Rachel Wood

Salvatore Ferragamo

Elegant design, sparkles and a train? Count me in! In any other color, this dress would not be the same. And while some may think that black is boring, on Rachel it’s a showstopper!

Best Arts & Crafts

Julianna Margulies

Armani Prive

It looks like she took a shower curtain, draped it around her body and glued on plastic beads from Michael's Craft Store. Why Julianna, why??

Best Under the Radar

Julia Stiles

Georges Hobeika Couture

Did anyone even know that Julia Stiles attended the Emmy’s this year? It’s too bad that Julia didn’t get more press, because this dress looked amazing on her! I love the light lavender color and delicate lace pattern of the fabric. The gentle mermaid cut at the bottom of the dress was just enough to make it red-carpet worthy.

Best Belly Dancer

Gwen Paltrow

Pucci

Apparently Gwen is auditioning for Bollywood movies now. And apparently Pucci makes clothes in black and white?? Who knew!?

Best Color

Cobie Smulders

Alberta Ferretti

Rich turquoise color + Dark Brown Locks + Milky Skin Tone = AMAZING.  Plus the delicate draping detail at the shoulder doesn’t hurt either.

Best Prom Dress 

Sarah Hyland

Christian Siriano

I love Project Runway and I love Christian Siriano, but I hate this dress. The fabric looks cheap, the cut is unoriginal, and the belt looks like something she picked up at Gap Kids. 

Best Vintage Inspired

Jayma Mays

Zuhair Murad

The light pink champagne color can be difficult to pull-off, but I adore the vintage-inspired feel of this dress and the lace bodice on top. The cap-sleeves are an unexpected, yet charming detail and the flowing tiered skirt gives this gown a great 1940s vibe.
