Best Dressed - Emmys 2013

I'm going to jump on the Emmy bandwagon this morning.  I only saw a little of the pre-show red carpet and what I saw I didn't really like.  And I didn't even watch the broadcast - kind of over awards shows themselves, but not the red carpet.  I always like to see fancy dresses on display!  Here are my best dressed picks!

Christina Hendricks, in Christian Siriano, and an Edie Parker clutch (I LOVE these clutches here is my favorite one)

(her hair, obsessed with her hair!)

Allison Williams, in Ralph Lauren

Kiernan Shipka, in Delpozo

Mindy Kaling, in Edition by Georges Chakra

Julianna Margulies, in Reed Krakoff

Alyson Hannigan, in Marchesa

(love a redhead in purple)

Padma Lakshmi, in Kaufmanfranco

Who did you all like the best?  I'm still updating my Spring 2014 Pinterest board, Milan is in full swing.

We'll start with Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Acheivement Award winner Michael Kors with Gwyneth Paltrow (in MK obviously - she looked super fab, wow!)

Donna Karan in Donna Karan

Oscars 2010 - my picks for best dressed

I'm a little late to the game with this post, so I'm only going to pick a favorite look from the red carpet and then one from the after parties (along with their runway debuts).  Yes, there were many looks I liked (and disliked) but they are basically the same ones that have already been blogged about thousands of times and I'm sure you're sick of seeing the same things over and over.  I know I am.  Here we go, first with the red carpet:

Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Haute Couture (left at the Vanity Fair party and right on the Oscar red carpet - notice how the light changes the colors, I like how much warmer it appears in the daylight)  What sold me on this dress was when she walked out on stage, it just looked so divine.

On the runway roughly 6 weeks ago (it was the opening look on Karlie Kloss no less)

Here is my after party pick:

Cameron Diaz  at the Vanity Fair party in Victoria Beckham

Here's the dress from NY Fashion Week just a few weeks ago.

Golden Globes 2010 - my picks for best dressed

I'm over award shows, I used to LOVE watching them, but for me watching them now is just awkward and boring.  I honestly don't care who wins what at this point (unless it's a friend or family member - ha).  Besides, the best part about the shows is seeing who wears what, right?!  I mean, come on that's the fun bit!  I did tune in for a few minutes of the "pre-game" - as I like to call it - on E! so I saw a couple of dresses in person, so to speak (this was before the hubby hogged the remote to watch a basketball game - BTW, whomever designed Duke's uniforms with that horrible light grey print all over the back should be smacked.  Who allowed the Oklahoma Sooners basketball team to have the word "Sooners" written across the behind like they are wearing Juicy Couture?  Aren't we all over this questionable trend?  There was a time 10-15 years ago when sports uniforms started looking decent, now they've all gone crappy again.  Who's designing this stuff?)  Oh dear, I digress, sorry.  Anyhoo, here are my picks for best dressed at the Golden Globes.

Sofia Vergara in Carolina Herrera (okay I saw this one on E! and the picture doesn't do it justice - the back is outstanding, the color combination divine)

Maggie Gyllenhaal in RM by Roland Mouret

Emily Blunt in Dolce and Gabbana (am I the only one who has a girl crush on her?)

Sandra Bullock in Bottega Veneta

Amy Adams in Carolina Herrera (I have to give her special mention because the emerald green dress and golden orange of the accessories are a fab color combination and she's pregant rocking Louboutins)

Courteney Cox in *gasp* Victoria Beckham (might this be the first major red carpet appearance by a VB dress?  I think so.)

 

Cameron Diaz in Alexander McQueen
