Best Dressed

emmydressesgraphic.jpg

The Emmys are never the kind of fashion parade that the Met Ball, the Oscars, or the Globes are, but they were even pretty blah by their own standards this year, in my opinion. But these five were definitely my faves.

Chloe Sevigny in Isaac Mizrahi
Christina Hendricks in L’Wren Scott
Mila Kunis in Monique Lhuillier
Ginnifer Goodwin in YSL
Leighton Meester in Bottega Veneta

Those ladies of television sure do love some girly Marchesa. And Versace had two big stars, January Jones and Blake Lively. I wasn’t sold on either one though I liked January’s futuristic white much better than Blake’s trying way too hard to be sexy plunging red. As one of my friends said, “Serena you are no J. Lo,”

What did you guys think?

i disagree with all of your picks, but leighton most of all. i thought the dress was too overwhelming for her frame, not at all flattering, and her hair and makeup were terrible. blake's look was a little over the top, but i thought she looked sleek and sexy. january jones looked fantastic. she was my best dressed of the night.

first of all, Queen Of Surburbia, we are in a fight because I laughed so hard at your "pap me" comment I nearly had my coffee coming through my nose, which is painful.

i agree with kim re: leighton and january. leighton is a little girl and this dress looked completely huge on her, though i like that she was willing to go bold. january looked stunning and i loved the dress.

blake looked pathetic and it's sad because all the ryan seacrest's of the world are loving it and praising it. yikes

Chloe's dress is gorgeous.... I didn't like the colour of Blake's dress either. Not flattering.

That dress ages Leighton, to me, and not in a good way either. Or maybe it's just the lipstick. Either way ...

leighton looks fantastic. the fact that she went with bottega while blake went with versace kind of says it all...team blair!

Great picks. Leighton just needed better makeup. And you definitely should have included Heidi. And Julia Louis Dreyfus for best-all-around-age-appropriate-dress-hair-makeup-and-not-trying-too-hard award.

I think blake went with what she thought would go best commercial wise. To the un-fashionable eye, she looks sexy, and as another commenter said the Ryan Seacrests of the world praised her for it. Totally a "let's be commercial and get my photo published" NOT "let's be fashion forward."

Heidi looked AMAZING.

January Jones' dress was more mint-green than white and I thought she was best-dressed by a mile.

mila looked amazing! my favourite. I hate the fashion commentators they get though they always seem to pick wrong. the girl who plays Christina from Greys Anatomy looked gorgeous too

I totally disagree with putting Christina Hendricks in your top 5. I usually love her, but I thought this dress looked too tight and a little pedestrian.

i don't believe leighton should be there. dress is too much for frame. the dress is wearing her.

Really? Really??? There were far better dressed ladies at the Emmys. I'll agree that Ginnifer Goodwin looked much better than she usually does(aka cheap), but not top 5 material in my opinion. Red Carpet Fashion Awards got it right.
