I watched the
Emmys for the first time last night. I had never payed much attention to them because the attendees and red carpet were never out of the ordinary like, say, the Globes or the Oscars. Until Mad Men and True Blood started getting nominated, that is. The fact that such good quality and edgy shows spread through the different categories means a lot of their starts will step on the red carpet doing their best not to go unnoticed. The Academy wasn't especially generous to either Mad Men or True Blood last night but their actors completely outshone the Emmy winners.
January Jones, in
Versace Atelier, was my favourite. She looked like the bionic queen of mermaids wrapped in the Italian metallic scales. I thought it was a very clever choice. The
front showed a bit of legs but there was a train and the top was classic in lines but sexy and unexpected in construction.
Many of the other attending ladies looked remarkably good for this kind of event.
Christina Hendricks (the other Mad Woman) rocked her custom made
Zac Posen. The dress would've looked quite bland had it not been for the toddlers that fought inside it (as someone geniusly referred to the twins on twitter, email me for credit). And the great hairdo.
Heidi Klum was one of the very few women who went for s short dress. The combination of her super short, super tight
Marchesa and her statement necklace was spot-on sexy.
Rose Byrne was unknown to me until last night when I
had to know who was the lady in the amazing
Gucci dress. It was both simple and intricate enough to look elegant and still make a statement. White (Kate Beckinsale would've been so proud) was also the colour of
Kim Kardashian's
Marchesa dress. I don't usually pick her out for her style but she did look like a modern day Cleopatra with the Egyptian-inspired neckline and the tied-back hair.
At first I loved
Anna Paquin in
McQueen. Don't get me wrong, I adore the dress, but it feels like the bottom of the skirt didn't really suit the wearer. It was a winner choice but only from the waist up. And last,
Claire Danes in
Armani Privé (surprise surprise). I thought she looked very chic, very old Hollywood glamour and was definitely one of the best dressed but then again it wasn't anything I hadn't seen on Anne Hathaway before.
Who did you love the most?
I'm off.
PS. Lea Michelle - biggest disappointment of the night in her matrony Oscar de la Renta.

A post filled with such glamour, I love! January in Versace was by far my most favourite look, it's such a daring and unpredictable dress and the blue compliments her blonde hair perfectly. I can't understand at all why so many are criticising it

In love with January and Heidi--DIE! XX
Rose Byrne always looks stunning, but the harsh sunlight did not flatter her hairstyle. It looks 100% better in photos that were shot indoors.
Rose Byrne's dress looked stunning on her, and I know exactly what you mean about anna paquin's dress. I looked at it and thought it looks good but something's not right here? You answered that for me.
