Red Carpet: 2009 Emmy Awards

The Emmy Red Carpet was all about the details. Subtle glam, glowing metalics, and classic shapes. Here are my favorites of the night:


January Jones in a fierce Versace. And Kristen Chenoweth in a disco ball mini by Zuhair Murad


Entourage's Perry Reeves looking incredible Naeem Khan. And loving the pop of color on Lindsay Price in J. Mendel.


Blake Lively is working every inch of this Versace stunner. Kaley Cuoco is stunning in this classic sheath in an outstandingly gorgeous fabric by David Meister.


Julia Louis-Drefus in Vera Wang and Toni Collette in Monique Lhullier show off these amazing female designers.

Lessons from the Grammy's

Here are a few fashion lessons from the ladies on the 2009 Grammy red carpet:

Lesson #1. Shine is not always your friend

Sheryl Crow's choice of this Toni Maticevski gown (and shoes!) was unfortunate.
I loved Gweneth's Versace look until I looked at the legs. Excuse me while I throw out all tights with shimmer. Her hair is fabulous, though.

Lesson #2: There is a right way and a wrong way to wear metallic accents:

LeeAnn's Philosophy di Alberta Ferreti dress was the perfect balance of color and texture. Paula's look by Basil Soda (umm...who?) was heartbreaking.

Lesson #3: Short and structural shapes are super!

Jennifer Hudson in RM by Roland Mouret and Estelle in Bernard Chandra totally channeled the futuristic vibe...which is both a wink to 60's fashion and fashion-forward for the Grammy red carpet.

Lesson #4: Don't take yourself too seriously, but don't downplay a "moment."

Jennifer Nettles in Rachel Roy and Sara Bareilles in Luisa Beccaria looked fresh and appropriate in these short looks.
