Emmy Awards Gown Review



I would love to see the huge rise in downloads of Chris DeBurgh's '96 hit, "Lady in Red" after last night's chrimson tide hit the red carpet. Good gracious, there were a ton of red gowns out there!

My fav of team RED? Nina Gobrev in Donna Karan. The fit is immaculate, and the hem is modern, but doesn't take away from the overall fluid line of the gown. I love the variation on a traditional sweetheart neckline. Very Lazaro esk.


Kelly Osborne in J Mendel is the gown that I would most love to see in ivory and on a bride. I adore the straps, and the proportion of the mermaid silhouette. Pretty fantastic. Great tip for brides: create straps like these with a seamstress to a similar shaped gown and get a custom look!


Sarah Hyland wins for best use of an accessory. This belt is such a great addition to the one shoulder salmon, pleated chiffon gown. Bridal belts still melt my heart.


Heidi Klum was adorable in her sassy short number by former Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano. Love bouncy, textured hems?? We do too!


Cat Deeley could trade her clutch for a bouquet and be a beautiful bride in this Monique Lhuillier strapless. Overlays are really big this season in bridal as well. Lazaro has an amazing option in the Spring 2012 line.

The Emmys host Jane Lynch looks regal in her David Meister jeweled toned strapless. Hmmm.... look familiar Amsale girls?


Drumroll please....My overall favorite of the night?? Glee's Heather Morris in this amazing purple plunging neckline gown with fantastic ruffles cascading down the skirt stands out amongst the crowd and commands attention. (the good kind of attention) IN LOVE!


Wanna take these runway styles off the red carpet and to the chapel?? Will do. See if you can match up the inspirations....fun Monday game. ;)
