Emmys fashion- the good, the bad and the ugly

You know I love an Awards show!!  And today is the Emmys. Who got it right and who got it wrong on the red carpet? Here goes:

TOP 10 BEST DRESSED


1. Christine Baranski 
This is perfection. I love this structured Zac Posen dress. 
It is classic black but not boring. Love the contrast bag.


2. Michelle Forbes
She's not a well-known star, so her sophisticated look is appropriate and striking.


3. Christina Hendricks
I think this is her best red carpet look to date. Love the hair, love the sparkles, love the classic styling.


4. Emily Blunt
This is gorgeous. Loving this dark navy colour. 
It looks classy and elegant, but still bang on trend with the beading.


5. Rashida Jones
She makes this blush pink gown less girly by adding a 
deep red lipstick and interesting bracelets.


6. Katie Holmes: 
It's rare that she ever gets fashion right, but I do love this simple look. 
The colour and cut is bold enough not to worry with excessive jewels or fancy hair.




7. Maria Bello
The nude, sequin gown seems to be a trend tonight. See also Cat Deeley, Jennifer Carpenter and Taraji P. Henson. But I like this look the best. Mostly because of her simple styling.


8. Lena Headey
 This could have turned into a Goth look, but it didn't. And I love it. Her hair, makeup, belt buckle and earrings are fantastic.



9. Julie Bowen
I'm not usually a fan of sequins and deep plunging necklines, but she keeps this classy 
by styling her hair in a pony tail and keeping the jewellery simple.


10. Evan Rachel Wood
Loving the silhouette of this gown. The tasteful jewels, makeup and hair offsets the beading perfectly.


THE TOP 10 WORST-DRESSED


1. Gywneth Paltrow
This could have been the best-dressed of the night. Her hair, makeup and jewels are fabulous and understated and the sequins, cap sleeves and pattern are gorgeous. But she can't help her attention-seeking ways.  Why would you ever cut this gorgeous dress in half? Who wants to wear a crop top to the Emmys?!! We get it: you exercise. Now go away.


2. Heidi Klum
What in God's name is this monstrosity? Major fail. I wish Seal would do up some of those buttons and take those silly sunglasses off. As a couple, they look like they're going to a fancy dress party not an awards show.


3. Juliana Margulies
I love her in The Good Wife, but this is just horrible. The hem is too long and her 
helmet hair is just awful. That bodice looks like a chewed-up orthopadic back brace.


4. Elisabeth Moss
I love you in Mad Men, but why did you decide to audition for Dancing on Ice tonight of all nights?  I am calling this look; "When Nude Gowns Go Bad". Let's not even talk about the hair.


5. Olivia Munn
The colour is initially striking, but the fit is just awful. Stripes, satin, 
spaghetti strap/cowl neck, belt and train. Way, way too going on.


6. Paz de la Huerta
I suspect this chick is a nutjob. Why else would you think this make-up looks good?


7. Loretta Devine
I don't even know who she is, but I do know she needs to be wearing a bra.


8. Kyle Richards
Now, I love a reality star, but not at the Emmys. And not in a blue taffeta monstrosity. 
Is that a fishtail with a ruffled hem? Oh dear. 


9. Jayma Mays
Ice-skating costume above the waist, toilet doll below. Hideous pink all over.


10. Padma Lakshmi
This should work, but it doesn't. I'm blaming that 
assymetrical seam on her mid-section. And her greasy make-up.
