The Best and Worst of Fashion at the Emmys

Let's be honest: I didn't watch the Emmys this year. I did scan all of the sites for fashion photos of the red carpet though. Sadly enough, there were a few hits, but way too many misses in terms of red carpet fashion this year.


In my opinion, here are some of the worst looks of the Emmys:

The bit of tulle around her exposed stomach creates the illusion of bulging fat...which is never the way any dress should make you look.

What a lovely blue sack that you've cinched with a belt...

This dress has no good qualities. She is drowning in the color, the shape, the mere size of it just swallows her. Not to mention the awful feathered bottom.

Melissa McCarthy is a gorgeous woman, but the shape and style of this dress is all wrong. There is just too much fabric, and I'm not sure what those weird lines are supposed to contribute...

But here to save the day are the best looks of the night:

I'm a sucker for mermaid dresses, but not everyone can do it right. This Donna Karan is hands down my favorite look of the night.

Another mermaid, in a gorgeous fabric. The train adds a lot, too.

This look is just so classy and fabulous. It's special for the Emmys without being crazy or overwhelming.

I love this dress for a similar reason to the one above. There are tons of ways to do "shiny" wrong, but this really hits the mark.

Which was your favorite look at the Emmys?

Television Tuesdays (5/10/11)

Tuesday is here again (and so quickly), which means it’s time for Television Tuesdays! Today we’re going to focus on a male character with suave style -Neal Caffrey from White Collar.

Caffrey plays a former white collar criminal who now assists the FBI as a consultant - and always looks professional and put-together while doing so.

The keys to Caffrey’s style are suits, slim ties, and his signature fedoras. Here are some of his classic outfits:

  

  

Love his style? You’re not alone. The exclusive online shopping website, Gilt Groupe, created a White Collar clothing collection inspired by the show’s characters.

And if you can’t get enough White Collar fashion, check out “A Conversation with White Collar Costume Designer, Stephanie Maslansky” here!

Steal Her Style: Kate Hudson

On Tuesday I went to an advanced screening of the new movie Something Borrowed starring Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin. The movie was fabulous, and since I love Kate Hudson so much, I decided to do a style post about her.

Television Tuesdays (5/1/11)

Time for another round of Television Tuesdays! This week we’ll be focusing on one of my favorite shows that, let’s face it, not many people watch anymore. So, if you’re one of the people that still follows One Tree Hill and knows how fabulous it is and has always been, you’ll love this post! (Even if you’ve never watched the show, you’ll love the clothes in the post!)

In the show, the character Brooke Davis (played by Sophia Bush) owns her own fashion line called Clothes Over Bros. She is feisty and fashionable; here are some of my favorite B. Davis outfits:
