Sunday night’s Emmy Awards brought out some of television’s favorite celebrities to stroll down the red carpet and turn heads, some for the wrong reasons.
The 62nd Primetime awards show featured some ensembles that have me applauding the fashion sense of stylists nationwide, while others make me question how much experience their stylists have in the fashion industry.
Having a put-together look on the red carpet is crucial to keep from seeing one’s name on the “Worst Dressed” list.
Typically, I would love to own anything by Alexander McQueen, except for the gown worn by Anna Paquin of HBO’s “True Blood.”
I understand the military-inspired look, but the heavy beading on the shoulders and chest makes me think that she is about to battle someone on the red carpet.
What is even worse is the asymmetrical hemline that shortens the appearance of the length of her legs.
For having three nominations, Tina Fey’s red carpet moment was anything less than appealing.
Her silver with black-beading Oscar de la Renta gown closely resembles an Oriental-style rug thatshould have the stitching taken out to be put in the foyer of a home—no wonder she left the show empty handed.
As for Heidi Klum, I really do love her red carpet moments, because even while pregnant she would look stunning, but I am quite ashamed to call myself a fan of hers after she arrived at the Emmys wearing what appears to be two feet of fabric.
We all know you were blessed with long legs, Heidi and it’s totally fine to want to flaunt them, but this ultra-mini Marchesa LBD dress paired with a distracting necklace was not made to worn to the Emmy awards.
You should know better, Mrs. Klum.
On a more positive note, some celebrities showed up at the Emmys ready to be named the night’s “best dressed.”
For being a first time nominee, “Glee” actress Lea Michele proved that not only does she have an unbelievable singing ability, but she can also hit all the right notes when picking the perfect gown to wear on a huge night such as this.
Unfortunately, Michele did not win in the category for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, but at least she can be pleased that she totally rocked her navy Oscar de la Renta gown while being the quintessence of elegance with a sweetheart neckline and a ruffled hem.
Props to her for the smart selection of jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz that compliment the gown, further expressing that having the right look for the red carpet is more than just having the perfect dress.
Lea Michele was not the only actress who showed up looking absolutely stunning.
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries winner, Claire Danes, stepped onto the red carpet as the epitome of flawlessness.
The strapless silhouette all-over beaded Armani Prive dress complimented her features and without a doubt made her one of the nights best dressed actresses.
As always Eva Longoria Parker graced the red carpet knowing she would have a “wow moment.”
Sunday night she wore a simple black Robert Rodriguez gown with a train.
Her added accessories were only pink chandelier earrings, but it was enough. She embodied the definition of classiness.
Overall though the 2010 Emmy Awards attendees arrived dressed to impress, despite some failing efforts, but it’s alright since it just means they’ll have to show up at the next red carpet event looking absolutely breathtaking.
