Sooooo, the Emmy’s happened last night?! For some reason I remember them being much later in the season, but I suppose this provides a nice boost to all the fall shows that have returned from summer break. I checked out photos from two different slideshows (Vulture, Fashionista.com), and I was fairly underwhelmed. I saw a lot of pretty, but not a lot of interesting. Out of 70+ looks I saw, just 11 seemed remarkable.

Red, Red Carpet

Red is a tricky color for a red carpet situation; gowns needs to be strong enough to compete with the carpet – and win. These fire engine red frocks were victorious.

I can’t help it. I adore bright colors.

Structured

Drapey or frothy dresses are all well and good, but it’s easy for them to get lost in the crowd of confections. These dresses used structured elements for a stand-out style statement.

Wild Card

These dresses don’t have anything in common, except that I liked them both.

Jena Malone in J. Mendel

What do you think of this year’s Emmy’s red carpet? Who wore your favorite dress? For me, January Jones was the best dressed of the entire evening.
