2009 Primetime Emmys Style Recap
Everyone knows that personality counts for more than looks…
Which is why Neil Patrick Harris is the hands-down winner of this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards. I mean seriously. It was legen… wait for it... wait for it... I hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the next part of the word is…dary!
BUT everyone loves some good red carpet fashion gossip so along with People.com I’ve put together my list of the good, the bad and the downright ugly. Just click on my awesome "read more" link below to check it out!
The Good
Mariska Hargitay: The Law and Order: Special Victim's Unit star shined in her Carolina Herrera silver gown, paired with Fred Leighton jewels and Christian Louboutin shoes.
My thoughts: Mariska gets my vote for overall best dressed. I just wish I could see her shoes!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: The nominee for The New Adventures of Old Christine is ageless in her bold blue Vera Wang gown, coordinated Jimmy Choo heels, Neil Lane jewels and Judith Leiber box clutch.
My thoughts: Love the color! A close second place.
Kate Walsh: The Private Practice star worked a high-low mix, pairing her stunning pale blue, hand-pleated J. Mendel gown, Christian Louboutin jeweled heels and Stephen Russell jewelry with an Aldo clutch and hair by Suave.
My thoughts: Classic, timeless, and you can kind of see her Louboutins peeking out.
Sandra Oh: The TV doc gets pulses racing in a gold lace, slim Marchesa sheath gown with a rope belt, Jimmy Choo heels, David Yurman ring, Marchesa crocodile clutch and Tacori earrings.
My thoughts: Such an improvement over her scrubs!
Kim Kardashian: The reality star is wearing a white Ina Soltani gown with one-sleeve, Swarovski clutch and oversized hoop earrings.
My thoughts: Votes are split here, with People placing her on the Best Dressed list and HuffPo on the Worst, but I have to give her props for tweeting about her pre-show wardrobe malfunction.
The Bad
Blake Lively: Spotted: A Gossip Girl star looking sizzling in her red-hot Versace gown, Christian Louboutin pumps, Lorraine Schwartz diamonds and a long braid.
My thoughts: As my roomie put it, “Guess it's not just the wardrobe people at Gossip Girl that like to do torturous things to Blake Lively's chesticles. She also appears to be rocking weird Lara Croft hair.”
Leighton Meester: The Gossip Girl star adds drama to her Bottega Veneta white gown – check out those knotted straps! – with her Cathy Waterman jewelry and matching crimson pout and Bottega Veneta clutch.
My thoughts: Gossip Girl strikes out again. Those sleeves remind of something awful my mom would have tried to dress me in.
Jenna Fischer: The Office star showcases her slim figure in a black Reem Acra mermaid gown, Sutra diamond earrings and an Amrapali citrine and diamond cuff.
My thoughts: This looks like a prom dress gone bad.
Chloe Sevigny: The Big Love actress may be known for her quirky fashion choices, but she's perfectly chic in her one-shoulder, dotted Isaac Mizrahi gown with a bold brooch on the hip.
My thoughts: You know I love me some polka-dots. But to the Emmys? Really?
Mary-Louise Parker: Forget the gowns! The best actress nominee for Weeds shows off her gorgeous gams in a purple, bow-topped Zac Posen dress and sparkling slingback heels.
My thoughts: Looks like a Christmas present waiting to be unwrapped. But wait. It’s purple. Kwanzaa???
The Ugly
January Jones: Should have stuck with the Betty Draper look. This looks like a kindergarten snowflake gone bad.
Phoebe Price: She looks like Cinderella AFTER midnight
Nancy O’Dell: Oh my god it’s like a rainbow and a cookie sheet collided
Sarah Silverman: There is nothing funny about that dress. Hire a new stylist.
Victoria Rowell: Ok, I get it, you like Obama. I do too. But I don’t plaster his face across my abdomen.
