My Favorite Emmy Dresses

There were a lot of hits and misses on the 2010 Emmy red carpet this year, but the dresses that stood out for me the most were very simple and elegant. They looked as if they can be worn by just about anybody and they were extremely flattering on the beautiful ladies that wore them.

Claire Danes’ dress was the first one on the red carpet that stood out for me. Maybe it is because I am like a raven, and I like shiny things, or because it just looked like the perfect “dress up” dress that any girl would love to wear. Whatever the case, this Swarovski covered Armani Prive dress drew me in like a magnet. The line of this dress is very simple and flattering and the bling offers just enough jewelry, nothing else required. I do believe the bustline of the dress would have to be altered slightly to accommodate a more full figured lady. But that would be a small fix that could give this dress a much more universal appeal. In all, I think this was a great choice.

Another favorite was the dress Amber Riley from Glee chose. She made two great decisions, she chose a dress that accentuated her coca-cola bottle figure and a bright enough color that offered the perfect contrast to her rich skin tone. Ms. Riley showed us that curvy girls can be sexy and elegant too. As if we didn’t know. She definitely hit this one out of the park.

Of course my pick of the night was worn by none other than one of my favorite celebs, Ms. Kimmy K. This stunning Grecian inspired Marchesa gown sent Kim Kardashian’s style cred straight into the stratosphere. And the most awesome aspect of this dress is the wearability. The silhouette is very forgiving, making it just as appropriate for someone curvy, tall, petite or pencil thin. I will definitely be considering something like this for my next formal event.
