Awards shows don’t do it for me anymore but the fashion always sucks me back in. Last night’s Emmy Awards had a few oohs but overall I was underwhelmed. Is originality and a good tailor too much to ask for?
Oohs:
 |
| Edie Falco in Bottega Veneta Perfection. |
 |
| January Jones in Versace and Cartier jewels This unexpected dress has been taking a beating and I don’t like it one bit. I was surprised and dazzled and in true Versace fashion, it fit like a glove. The hair is a miss but I forgive Jones for taking a risk. |
 |
| Anna Paquin in Alexander McQueen I understand why this isn’t going to win the popular vote but I adore the dress and the styling is spot on minus the clunky shoes. |
 |
| Claire Danes in Armani Privé Danes was almost a perfect 10 for me despite her unnaturally long eye lashes. Her spray tan was also slightly off. She should have called Tamar. |
 |
| Kyra Sedgwick in Monique Lhuillier and Ofira jewels I’m partial to Lhullier since I got married in one. I love the color and Sedgwick doesn’t look a day over 30! |
Boos:
 |
| Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta & Lorraine Schwartz jewels This look got a lot of raves but for me, Michele missed the note. She looks like she’s being swallowed by ruffles and the top is ill-fitting. Her hair and jewelry are too heavy for an ornate gown. GLAMADAD DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS POINT…Nothing ages a woman more than big, expensive jewels. |
 |
| Christina Hendricks in Zac Posen I love Zac Posen but this is red hot mess. The color, the feathers, the hair? Oy. |
 |
| Kerry Russell in a Jean Louis Scherrer dress from Decades and Cathy Waterman jewels Felicity will always hold a special place in my heart but I can’t turn a blind eye to the top of this dress. There is no excuse. Those shoes are killer though. |
 |
| Padma Laksmi in Carolina Herrera You know I love me some Padma but what’s up with the bib? Props for the fierce pose. |
 |
| Lo Bosworth in Karen Caldwell This is just a disaster from head to toe. Ill-fitting, unflattering length for her petite frame, Masters Champion green? Head for the hills Lo. $100K per episode is enough for a stylist. |
Who were your oohs & boos?

I didn't watch and I don't really follow fashion so much…but I really enjoyed reading your take on these outfits! amber
Following you back!
I can't believe you didn't like Lea Michele's dress! She was one of my favorites! I also loved Kim Kardashian's overall look. As for Christina Hendricks… you are correct. Oye.
Wow there are a lot of hot messes out there! What's with Claire Danes? Did she have work done or is it the lashes?
I can't stand award shows! Thanks for the fashion recap! I loved Kim Kardashians dress! Saw a pic on he web somewhere.
I agree with you on everything except: January Jones, Ana Paquin, and Lea Michele (who was one of my favorites)
Here's my list: http://babblingsofamommy.blogspot.com/2010/08/emmys-2010-red-carpet-fashion.html
Jenny, I LOVE your commentary! I know I'm in the minority on a bunch of these but that's what's so great about fashion!!
If the top was fixed on Kerri's- I'd want to wear that.
That's awesome! I just voted
I thought Claire Danes looked beautiful! She's an amazing actress. I didn't notice the eyelashes. And I actually loved Lea Michelle's dress! I always love her choices!
So with you on all your fashion thoughts! I normally love anything that Christina Hendricks wears as she is SO my girl crush but this dress was just all kind of wrong – it didn't even suit her body style, so sad!
Thank you very much for sharing this awesome content! I am looking forward to checking out more posts.
