{red carpet review}: the emmy's

The Emmy red carpet was full of great fashion last night.  It seems like many of tv's fashion darlings were absent, but the ones that were there did not disappoint. 

Let's start with the sparkle...

Last night was obviously Claire Daines' night and she looked radiant in this solid blush sequined Armani Prive gown...love her loose hair and minimal accessories!  Claire is tied for the brunette's best dressed of the night!  

Navy was also a prominent trend for the night...

and while all these ladies looked stunning, Lea Michele took the prize.  She was definitely one of the best dressed of the night!  Loved, loved, loved her necklace...I think that's what made the look!

Several ladies shined in white...

I think Brooke looked the best...very classic and I also loved Rose's Gucci dress. 

The best of the black...

Eva always looks like a movie star, Kelly looked great and Heidi's entire look was amazing.  I don't know if Heidi was completely Emmy appropriate, but wow, just look at her! 

The blonde loved Anna in her little black dress with heavy gold embellishment, but the brunette was not a fan.  The dress did look much better on television than in these pictures.  Anna is a huge McQueen fan and I loved seeing her in this dress! 

I don't watch Vampire Dairies and have never heard of this girl, but holy cannoli...she is stunning in this Zuhair Murad nude gown.

Speaking of nude, Maricka Hargitay looked so pretty presenting last night in this Vera Wang...loved the little sheer ruffle on the top!

These girls brought the color!

Keri looked precious in her vintage, but also a little too casual.  Isn't the color of Emily's Max Azria Atelier gown gorgeous?!?

And since we are talking color then it's time to discuss Januray Jones' Armani gown. 

I (the blonde) am a huge fan of Mad Men and of January so I'm not sure if that clouds my judgment or not because I loved it!  The brunette thought it was a bit much, but still gave her props for taking the risk! 

The shoes do confuse me, but still...I think she pulled it off and looked amazing!

The blonde and brunette did agree on one star...Kyra Sedgwick in her plum/wine color Monique Lhuillier.

The hair, the clutch, the jewelry and obviously the dress makes her our #1 agreed upon girl!

Look at these bangles!!  This makes me smile...love, love, love!

Julia Ormond also did a great job with her accessories.  When she stepped on stage all I could focus on were these amazing cuffs!

There were many other awesome dress (Dianna Argon) and quite a few terrible choices (Rita Wilson) on the red carpet, but all in all it was a great fashion night.  Hope you enjoyed!
