Some were good, some were awful, and some I just couldn't decide...
We'll start of with the best of the night...
Jayma Mays, of Glee fame, arrived on the Red Carpet wearing this navy Burberry dress. The silhouette may be simple, but the colour is rich and the texture is beautiful, so it wins. Her hair, makeup and accessories don't add much to the look, but they don't take anything away, so they work too.
I really liked this one-shoulder dress by Dior that Emily Blunt wore. It's so soft and flowy looking, and the lilac is beaut on her fair skin. Her grey smokey eye makeup and 20's style up-do glam it up, but still look soft. Again, it might be a simple look but it works; she looks good.
Kelly Osborne looks great. Again, a simple dress, but with a bit of interest in the geometric patten on the skirt. My only concern is with her hair, it's so yellow, it looks like she did it at home. (The gown is Tony Ward, BTW)
You might be inclined to question my judgment when you see that I've put this in the best pile, but bear with me; she looks appropriate for the evening, but it also looks like she bought this dress at a vintage store, it's been at the back of her closet forever. It works in a very simple-yet-atypical, Carrie Bradshaw kind of way. The dress is, in fact, vintage by the way, it was made by Jean Louis Scherrer.And now for the not-quite-there ensembles.
Before I start, you should know that some of the dresses in this category are my favourite of the night, but I couldn't put them in the best pile because they had stupid hair or something else that ruined it for them.
This Gucci dress worn by Rose Byrne is one of my favourites. From the neck down, she looks like a Greek Goddess. It's really too bad about her hair though; it's generally advised not to stick your finger in an electrical outlet, particularly not before a big event.
Another dress that I almost love, worn by Anna Paquin. The gold detailing on the top of this Alexander McQueen dress is beautiful. When I saw pictures of her from the side, Anna looked great, but from dead on is another story. Something about the shape of this dress, or lack thereof, is making the True Blood star look wide and boxy. Not cute.
This Zac Posen dress that Christina Hendricks is wearing almost made the best dressed pile. The colour is magic with her skin tone, and it shows of her Jessica Rabbit bod without looking scandalous (which is difficult with those boobs). I also love the feathers around the train. My problem with the dress is the feathers around the shoulders, she already has a lot going on on top, and the extras are a bit suffocating. I just want to rip her sleeves off, because otherwise she looks fab.
This Versace dress worn by January Jones is amazing, I so badly wanted to put it in the best pile. The silhouette is lovely, the asymmetrical cut of the skirt is beaut, I love the layered, satiny, jewel-toned fabric, and the neckline is great. The problem is her hair...she couldn't have done something with it? I'm not talking about a fancy up-do, but it looks like she's going to the grocery store from the neck up.
Moving on to the bad:
Lauren Graham, I like you, but why are you wearing this horribly unflattering dress? This black and white Yigal Azrouel gown is doing absolutely nothing for you.
I don't even know who or what Lo Bosworth is wearing, but I'm pretty sure she bought it at Banana Republic. Maybe she's trying to get hired onto the cast of Mad Men? Or she just popped by on her way home from a business lunch? When is this girl going to stop dressing like she's middle aged?
Sarah Hyland, from Modern Family, came to the Emmys wearing a beautifully elegant Jessica McClintock, I mean Pamella Roland Gown. Seriously though, where is the white stretch limo and corsage?
Tina Fey's dress looks like the writings on a museum wall during an Ancient Egypt exhibit. I don't like it.
This look put Lea Michele firmly in the middle of good, and laughably bad. The beautifully structured navy Oscar de la Renta dress she wore was lovely, but when you put it with that necklace and HORRIBLE hair, she looks like an Orange Country housewife. it's just bad. Her bobble head looks out of control. She would have been much better off with a simple, loose chignon, and a big ring, no necklace.
And now, finally, the laughably awful looks of the Emmys
Dianna Agron, wearing Carolina Herrara, looks like she is going to a debutante ball in the south in I don't know what decade. It's bad, it's like some gaudy table cloth that her grandmother made into a dress for her. Hideous.
Mindy Kaling is an actress on the comedy series The Office, so this dress has to be a joke right? I mean she does funny for a living...
Yet another winner from the cast of Glee. Naya Rivera is wearing a Simin gown, and boy is this look a doozy. I'm pretty sure this one isn't meant to be a joke, unless her stylist was playing a joke on her. Her bun is unreal, I've never seen one so...large. Her dress looks like a bad bridesmaid's dress. In fact, maybe it is one. Her friend probably got married last Christmas and made her buy this hideous dress, promising that she'd be able to wear it again, and look at that! she found another occasion for it! Apparently the Glee actress gets her kicks egging people's cars who have scorned her....time to track down your stylist, Naya.
