If you watched the 2011 Emmy's on Sunday, you know clearly that hands down- Gwyneth was the BEST DRESSED!! Looking flawless per usual, her daring mid-drift baring Pucci dress was a perfectly fresh style on the red carpet...
Some other favorites of mine were of Cat Deeley in Monique Lhullier. Although I thought the clutch was a bit much for the whimsical dress- she looked fabulous...
... & of course, the saying is true, sometimes a break up does the body good! Minka Kelly, who recently went her separate ways from Yankee's Derek Jeter, looked chic in navy lace- perfect for the autumn season! This Christian Dior gown looks immaculate on Minka & was definitely in my top 3 faves...
Now- on the Worst Dressed.. & unfortunately, there were too many in this category :-/ To be honest, I am always a bit confused by Claire Danes' choices in fashion? This Oscar De La Renta gown does absolutely nothing for the shape of her body & frankly, the design is distracting & look similar to a prom dress...
If you watched the pre-show (fyi the best part) then you saw Ryan Seacrest interview & put Padma Lakshmi on the 'glam cam'... talk about borrring! They began to show clips of other stars on the red carpet because her tone was so lethargic & frankly her gown was lifeless too. The fabric on this Armani Prive dress, did not do her body any justice & I am beyond confused about that seam right down the middle of her body!?
Yikes! Jane Krakowski in Silver- literally silver! Some adored this look & others like myself- ehh not so much. First of all, it does not look age appropriate. Second, if you are going to do something that extreme of a shade of silver, you cannot be bronzed like a pumpkin! The overall look is extreme- bleach blonde hair, orange skin, & a silver sheer gown look trashy, rather than classy...
I decided to add a little section of Pure Boredom. I didn't love, nor hate these gowns, I was just simply bored by the overall look of them. I typically adore Kate Winslet & her modern, sophisticated, womanly style. But Kate wore a red Elie Saab & just. looked. tired. She looked exhausted, she didn't carry herself the way she normally does & the dress itself could not hold the reins...
Katie Holmes wore classic Calvin Klein & I am still torn on this look because I don't love it, but I definitely do not hate it either? I just wish sometimes she would take a little more risk in her style instead of being so vanilla all the time. She is, without a doubt, a very classy & beautiful woman, but the high-tousled-pony tail-bun.. was not enough of a risk for me...
And of course, a favorite of many, Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang.. blahhh. She constantly does this look! We get it, you are curvy & voluptuous, try something new! She does this rouged look virtually every time she walks the red carpet to emphasize disguise her curves & it is just getting old now...
