Emmy red carpet fashions

September 22, 2008

Our favorites from the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards…

Christina Applegate – one of the finest comic actors – wearing Reem Acra

Brooke Shields – Despite the pushy way her mother dragged her into the industry, she is a prime example of dignity and style, wearing Badgley Mischka.

Dana Delany – luminous in a vintage dress

Evangeline Lilly – wearing Elie Saab

Marcia Cross – also wearing Elie Saab

Kristin Chenoweth – elegant simplicity

 

So, we’ve seen the good. Now let’s check out the bad and the ugly.

Eva Longoria Parker – Yikes! It’s a good thing this Desperate Housewife has a costumer. See what happens when she’s left to her own devices.

Kathy Griffin – Taking a cue from Scarlett O’Hara, she made a dress of her draperies.

Lauren Conrad – in a dress of her own design. I’ve never seen her as an actress on television, but this shapeless sack isn’t winning her any awards as a designer.
