TV’s most stylish stars stepped out on the red carpet at last night’s  64th Anuual Primetime Emmy Awards in lovely gowns to see who would take home TV’s highest honors. The gowns have progressively been getter better and better each year, giving the Oscar gowns a run for their money. This year we saw a lot of color and beautifully contoured gowns that showed off the stars’ fit frames.

HELLO SUNSHINE


Claire Danes (and her baby bump), in Lanvin, Julie Bowen, in Monique Lhuillier, and Julianne Moore, in Dior Haute Couture all looked stunning in a bright marigold color that definitely stopped traffic. The color must have been lucky as each lovely lady above took home an award for their respective show/movie.

CHIC LBDs

Over the weekend, many celebrities came together at a fundraising event for Stand Up To Cancer. We love that they all found a way to put a personal stamp on the event’s signature tanks and short-sleeved shirts—even though they were all wearing the same thing from the waist up, they all looked totally unique.

Our absolute favorite person on the red carpet? Hands down, Gwyneth Paltrow. We love her kicky flared skirt and the heels are to die for! Olympian Gabby Douglas looked adorable as always, pairing her grey tee with faded bootcut jeans that made her legs look a mile long. (And we love her red nails!)

Katy Perry, in Elie Saab, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, in Emilio Pucci and Taylor Swift in a J. Mendel suit and Tom Ford heels surprised us last night on the red carpet for the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards in really elegant looks. We’re so used to trendy and gimmicky getups that we had to rub our eyes to make sure we really watching the VMAs. In sharp contrast Katy and Miley (sporting her new radical ‘do) went dark in chic evening gowns with intricate detailing, while Rihanna and Taylor kept in bright in crisp white looks that showed off their curves.

What did you think of last night’s looks at the VMAs? Do you think all the polished and elegant looks is a new trend we’ll see in VMAs to come, or just a passing trend that is as fleeting as an artist keeping their spot in an MTV video countdown.

The GQ Men of the Year Awards might be about men, but on the red carpet, it was the women who really sizzled! Mad Men’s Elisabeth Moss and singer Jessie J both showed up in long gowns with seriously high, sexy slits, vamping it up even further with bold lips.

Jessie J’s tuxedo style dress by Emilio Pucci not only had her flashing a whole lotta leg, but took her look in a much more sophisticated direction than of late. And we, for one, are loving it! The dress was sexy but not over the top, and the sleek bob and bold red lip accented it perfectly.

Elisabeth Moss’s one-shoulder Grecian gown was an arresting shade of tomato red, with a thigh-high slit that was attention-grabbing but still restrained. Her new blonde pixie cut could wash her fair features out, but with a bold red lip, all bets were off!

What do you think of the high slit and bold lip combo seen on Jessie J and Elisabeth Moss?

At the premiere of the new movie Premium Rush last week, starlets Dania Ramirez and Jamie Chung had one thing in common (besides looking gorgeous, of course): cutout dresses! We love that their dresses played off each other but were still so different.

Jamie wore a cobalt dress with both midriff and shoulder cutouts by Cushnie et Ochs, teaming it with Zara cap toe pumps. Dania was fiery in a long red dress with center cutout and ruched detailing by Rolando Santana. We love the bold gold jewelry she paired it with, although we do wish the dress’s hemline was hiked up a bit to show her shoes and not trail on the carpet!

What do you think of the cutout look? Is this something you might try?
