I can't believe that award season is starting already! Can this mean that summer is ending?? Say it isn't so!
As far as the 2014 Emmys go, I wasn't blown away by the fashion. Sure, there were a lot of beautiful women there but I found many of the dresses to be just so-so. Nice - but not amazing. I like a dress to make me say, "Wow, she looks great!"
Here are the 10 that did just that...
# 10 - Anna Gunn in Jenny Packham
I thought the Breaking Bad star (and Emmy winner!) looked amazing! I just finished a binge watch of the entire series it's great to see her all glammed up and so different from her character.
# 9 - Sarah Hyland in Christian Siriano
The Modern Family actress looks beautiful and age appropriate in her gown.
# 8 - Danielle Brooks in Nathaniel Paul
The Orange is the New Black actress looks so different from her character, Taystee, I almost didn't recognize her. Beautiful!
# 7 - Julia Roberts in Elie Saab Couture
One word...gorgeous!
# 6 - Camila Alves in Zuhair Murad
Mrs. McConaughey looks amazing!
# 5 - Sofia Vergara in Roberto Cavalli
I'm sure most people would put the Modern Family actress at the top of their list - and she does look beautiful (which is why I've included her), but I still think this silhouette has been played out a bit. I think it's time for her to change things up a bit.
# 4 - Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting in Monique Lhuillier
The Big Bang actress looks gorgeous in her red and pink gown. I've heard numerous references to it looking like a Valentine's Day dress - but who cares...it's beautiful.
# 3 - Viola Davis in Escada
The How To Get Away With Murder actress looks unbelievable in her gown. That color is amazing on her. It's a little much boob for me - but it's still classy. And...I'm really looking forward to her new show.
# 2 - Lizzy Caplan in Donna Karan Atelier
Lizzy looks beautiful in her gown. Really, she is pure perfection. If the next entry had not been there - this would have definitely been the best dressed.
# 1 - Halle Berry in Elie Saab
Ahhhh-mazing. Ms. Berry shuts it down again. My daughter and I were talking last night and we both agreed that she never makes a mis-step with her style. She knows her body and she knows what looks good on her. Fabulous!
Then...comes the worst. Although I must say, I had to really nit-pick to find 10 to match my 10 best dressed. I really only had 6 or 7 that I thought were really unfortunate and they weren't necessarily the first 6 or 7 on the list.
# 10 - Sarah Paulson in Armani Prive
A lot of people are putting the American Horror Story actress at the top of their lists...not me. Yes, the dress is a little much - but look at her! She is loving her dress. Every picture I've seen of her, she has an amazing smile on her face. It might be a little high-fashion for the Emmy's but she loves it...and I love her on AHS - so # 10 she is.
# 9 - Mindy Kaling in Kenzo
The color on Mindy's dress is beautiful on her. The fit...not so much. She seems to be very short waisted so this style isn't doing her justice.
# 8 - Keke Palmer in Rubin Singer
Again, with Keke's gown, the color is amazing but the top is waaaay too revealing and doesn't seem to fit well. I understand that she is wanting to show that she is an adult now and not just another Nickelodeon kid - but this is too much.
# 7 - Madeline Brewer in Theia
The Orange is the New Black actress had an unfortunate mis-step with this gown. This is probably her first Emmy awards, so I can understand, but this gown is too "prom" and not enough "Emmy".
# 6 - Betsy Brandt in Alice + Olivia
Although I loved her on Breaking Bad - I don't love this dress. It is too garden party and it is a strange length. It kind of reminds me of one of the tea cups in my mother's collection.
# 5 - Christina Hendricks in Marchesa
Just about everything Marchesa designs, that I've seen, reminds me of a figure skater somewhat. This dress just does nothing for me. Plus, it doesn't look like she bothered to do her hair at all.
# 4 - Laura Prepon in Gustavo Cadile
Love her in OITNB but this is a little Star Trek for me. I'm not really wild about structured half collars. It's just not working.
#3 - January Jones in Prabal Gurung
I don't like this at all. I don't like the dress, I don't like the shoes, I don't like her hair. It just all looks weird to me.
# 2 - Taryn Manning in Azarro
Repeat after me...Lamé is so 1970. Please...no one ever wear a gold lamé dress again. It is not pretty...ever.
# 1 - Lena Dunham in Giambattista Valli
Why - oh why - does she dress like this? This is just not pretty. It is so dumpy looking. I have to believe that she dresses like on purpose! No one can make this many errors on accident! She just looks miserable.
