So I decided to skip Weekend Highlights this Monday and instead, bring to you what you are really interested in: what everyone was wearing at the Emmy’s last night! I love awards shows because not only do I get to see all my favorite actors in one spot, but I also get to lust over some beautiful gowns. And now, thanks to avidly watching Rachel Zoe on Bravo, I know how much blood, sweat and tears goes into selecting those gowns! So without further ado, here are my favorites and not so favorites from the night:
The ladies of Glee definitely knew it was their time to shine and boy, did they ever! Lea Michele looked absolutely gorgeous in her navy ruffled gown and the hilarious Jane Lynch could stop traffic in her plum, form-fitting one shoulder. Claire Danes looked like an Emmy herself in a sparkly, strapless sheath that perfectly complimented her platinum feathered locks. And finally, Anna Paquin doned on a fabulous Alexander McQueen number that was definitely designed with matadors in mind. Hot ones, that is.
It’s a shame because even though I am not a fan of the show, I think the ladies of Mad Men are absolutely stunning and they looked anything but on Emmy night. January Jones looked like her hair had gotten into a fight with a hair dryer and that dress in that color was just awful on her. Christina Hendricks wasn’t too far behind with her hairy frock in a dull and lifeless icy lavender. Poor funny ladies Tina Fey and Mindy Kaling also missed the fashion boat with their unappealing gothic ensembles. Better luck next time ladies!
Also, I’d just like to chime in that I adored the opening number (HURLEY! & Nina!) and that I was beyond disappointed that LOST did not win in one of their categories. I know there was a lot of controversy surrounding how they ended the last season, but you cannot deny the superb acting of all cast members and weight of the show in pop culture. I was not a happy camper. I was also not so pleased to see that Fringe wasn’t even nominated for any categories. What’s going on, people? I may be the only one, but I just do not see the appeal in Mad Men (yes, I have watched & couldn’t stomach any of the characters) and what the hell is Breaking Bad?
Feel free to chime in your own opinions of the night down below in the comments!
As you all know, I’ll be attending
