sooooo here are just a few of the dresses and my thoughts. am i rachel zoe or what? i DIE.
THE RED COATS ARE COMING
Blake Lively: OK, so i feel like everyone will be talking about this dress because she's showing off the goods (and YES she has great goods) but really, other than that? tres boring. we see her ta tas every week on gossip girl.
love the nude shoe, at least she realized that with a dress cut down to there and a slit up to there she didn't need a statement shoe.
and why didn't she get her roots done before the emmys?
blake's a hottie. moving on.
Debra Messing: i love Debra Messing, and she actually has been styled by Rachel Zoe in the past, but i'm not DIEING for this dress.
i LOVE that she's like, "being a red head is NOT going to keep me from wearing a fun red dress." (this is me talking to deb in my head, mind you) but i don't like how high the neck is on this one shoulder, with the arm hole basically looking like a muscle tee.
enjoying the twist in the middle, and her rockin' bod and her makeup is gorg.
buuuut it's not enough to make me love this entire look.
Hayden Panettiere: my roomie, lizzard, literally said, "she never dresses her age," when we saw hayden for the first time. seriously, she's 20 years old! she can't even sip champagne, and this dress isn't helping her look youthful in the least.
i don't like the straight top- it looks too tight. i don't like the necklace, it's too short and again, ages her. don't love the bag- it doesn't tie into the entire look.
i loved hayden in remember the titans, but not tonight.
Christina Applegate: she is fabulous, and this navy is a surprisingly great color on her, but i'm so CONFUZZED by this dress!!
why is there a cut out in the middle?
and is one of the bands cutting her boob off in the middle?
i'm just confused by what this dress is supposed to be conveying... super sexy or pretty soft draping?
samantha who told you to wear this dress.
Kristin Chenoweth: um, did anyone tell her that the emmys is kind of a big deal and you should be wearing a gown? ESPECIALLY when you're nominated??
so kristin is only 4'11" so i get why she wanted to show some leg, but really? she looks like she could be out for a night on the town in vegas... or atlantic city for that matter!
and there are shear cut outs on the side of this dress. ridiculous, no?
and now that she's put all this focus on her legs and thus shoes... and then THAT'S the shoe she chooses? ugghhh galinda, please!!!
but the good news is that she looks amazing. fashion aside, she's gorgeous, vibrant, and happy. i'll never not love the original good witch.
Mila Kunis: Seriously? Seriously Mila??
Mila is one of my new girl crushes ever since Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but WHY did she choose this??
She looks like she's going to walk onto the Sweeney Todd set.
Too much tulle, and its a ridiculous length. Long or short?? oh, can't decide, let's just do a little of each.
I like that it has a belt to define her waist, but that's about it.
Drew Barrymore: love the nudey, peachy dress. love it paired with the red lip. so pretty, so light.
it reminds me of one of my favorite red carpet dress of all times, thank you so much penelope cruz for giving us this.
Kate Walsh: I think she looks great, and like she just happens to look this great. The color is phenomenal on her, and the soft color paired with the pretty draping is just stellar.
The bust may be a little too small- when she was on stage we were a little worried something might pop out, but nip slip averted, dress still fabulous.
Sandra Oh: Mmmmm, loving this gold dress. Because of her skin tone, it almost looks like a nude.
Her silhouette looks insane, though I really don't know how she was able to walk or sit.
But beauty is PAIN people.
I don't know if I'm 100% on the low slung rope belt- but it by no means ruins this look.
Sandra looks like a golden goddess.
Toni Collette: 1. I LOVE the United States of Tara, on Showtime.
2. I LOVE that she WON!!
3. I LOVE this gown!
The color, the fit.
perfection, perfection, perfection.
and now my favorite of the entire evening...

The entire cast of Mad Men were winners last night, but JJ looks unstoppable in this pale green gown that is not just gorgeous on her, it keeps you thinking!
The sculpted shape makes is perfect for her frame and the geometric beading is different in general and oh so flattering!
Mmmmm, mad men is yet again THEE show of the season for their writing, cast, and of course, styyyle!

living in the city of angels and all, and being the direct subordinate (at work) of 3, count-em 3, actual-emmy-attendees i felt compelled to share a little insight; even though i didn't watch the emmys - nor have i ever - and i only know 3 people in the above list (drew barrymore, christina applegate and mila kunis -> was she in entourage?)
ReplyDeleteapparently there were/are 2 red carpets; one for stars/anyone who the media would interview and one for people who just have a ticket or were invited or something, but wouldn't be talking to the media - this is because of where the limos drop the different people off; and btw - everyone gets dropped off - no one just walks up.
there also is a open bar inside (this year it was at the Nokia Center in downtown LA) which people, obviously, flock too. HOWEVER - you are only allowed to move during a commercial, and you aren't allowed back to your seat until the next commercial break. They also have 'seat fillers' on hand, to fill any empty seats when people actually do get up for something. Apparently, there are tons of attendees who get up during the 1st commercial and never go back to their seats - spend the whole night mingling at the bar and stuff. I wonder how one becomes a 'seat-filler'...?
and finally, since this is a fashion blog and all, and I 'corresponded' for it, I asked Mary (one of my bosses) what she thought about the dresses.
Her response: 'i don't think i saw a single dress with sleeves; everyone was sleeveless for some reason i think. Sandra Oh was the most beautiful person there, I thought.'
so there ya go. good call(s) CMB :)
