Who was best dressed at the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards? Here are some of my Hits and Misses.
Hits

“True Blood’s” Anna Paquin wore this stand out Alexander McQueen dress from the spring collection. She has received a lot of criticism for this dress, but I believe she really pulled it off. It was very flattering on her and really fit for the occasion considering the tough and strong character she plays on “True Blood,” Sookie Stackhouse.

“Glee’s” Lea Michele looked radiant in the color of the evening, navy. This Oscar de la Renta gown hit her in all the right places and was the perfect combination of fun and sophisticated for the 24 year old. Her Lorraine Schwartz statement necklace was the icing on the cake, and even her dark nail polish really pulled the look together.

My top pick of the night was the Best Actress in a Miniseries or Movie winner, Claire Danes, from “Temple Grandin” in this stunning Swarovski crystal-encrusted Armani Prive gown. It was simple, yet elegant. Perfect for the Best Actress winner.
Misses

“Parenthood” star Lauren Graham failed to impress in this Yigal Azrouël dress. The cut, the fit, it was all wrong.

Christina Hendricks from “Mad Men” was a feathery disaster in this Zac Posen dress.

Kate Gosselin looked matronly in her Carmen Marc Valvo dress. It was a bit top heavy.

Ryan Kwanten from “True Blood” is my male pick of the evening. He stood out in his plaid double-buttoned suit and stand out patterned red tie. It was refreshing to see this young star in something other than the basic black tux.
Red Carpet Hits & Misses – Academy Awards 2010
The Academy Awards are one of my favorite nights of the year! This year the stars went all out for the 82nd annual awards ceremony with many more hits than misses.
Sandra Bullock was the golden girl of the evening taking home the Oscar for best actress in her stunning golden Marchesa dress. The embroidered lace and cut of the dress are reminiscent of Old Hollywood and look great with her new award.
One of my other favorite gowns was worn by Sarah Jessica Parker. The golden yellow Chanel gown with gray floral accents at the top was fitting for her style and looked stunning on her. The dress may be a bit unusual for some, but Sarah Jessica Parker is the perfect woman to pull it off.
Meanwhile, Tina Fey looked fierce in her Michael Kors leopard print dress. The asymmetrical cut and waistline looked great on her. Another shining star was Cameron Diaz. She dazzled in her Oscar de la Renta strapless embellished gown.
Some misses this year included Miley Cyrus’ Jenny Packham gown that was beautiful, but not quite age appropriate. Zoe Saldana from “Avatar” looked like she was trying to do to much in her Givency gown that was sparkly on top with a gradation of purple ruffling out on the bottom. Separately they may have been a hit, but together they were a mess.
Overall there were a lot of ruffles and glitter that turned out to be big hits.
