Emmy Awards 2011.

The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards just took place over the weekend and the red carpet saw many big names gracing the night's glamorous event. There were tons of red, dashes of coral as well as blue and black. So here's a look!

Starting off with looks I didn't like, #1 Worst Dressed for me has got to be Katie Holmes in Calvin Klein. It was a minimalist look but it didn't really work. Katie looked shapeless, even with the belt. Her hair looked fuzzy so it was slightly off. It was a dress that would fit someone like Kate Bosworth or Claire Danes but personally, I didn't like it on Mrs. Tom Cruise.

Olivia Munn looked awkward in her green Carolina Herrera floor-length dress. The dress looked better on the runway model for the label's Spring 2012 RTW show. It didn't flatter Olivia's curves, rather, it seemed to have added bulk around her bottom. The look was messy with the patterned lines and front panel.

Julie Bowen of Modern Family was in Oscar de la Renta as she smiled for the photogs. It was a big night for the entertainment industry and I felt this dress didn't quite match up to it - but the actress was surely a winner as she picked up the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series! Julie Bowen is usually in very modest silhouettes and colors and I hope she can be more adventurous with her red carpet looks. This look was rather dull, if you ask me, but no doubt, I did like the shimmery pattern on the low-cut dress.

Also in a dark but glittery gown was Evan Rachel Wood, who showed up in a Fall 2011 Elie Saab piece. The embellished gown was simple but elegant, and the embellishments made the classy gown pop. The form-fitting dress showed off the actress' gorgeous figure - she certainly filled it out better than the model did. Particularly loving her Fred Leighton handcuff - so edgy!

Gwyneth Paltrow looked so subtly sexy in her Emilio Pucci separates that showed off her toned abs. It's always so amazing how she rarely does much to change her look but she evolves from minimalist to edgy and cool so effortlessly and still look so good all the time. I love how relaxed but stylish she always is and this outfit was no exception. It was unique though I was expecting a gown. But perhaps now that she has taken the step over to become more of a country singer than an actress, she doesn't wanna steal the limelight. BUT, she did win the Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series as Holly Holliday in Glee! YAY! I've always loved her rendition of "Forget You" on that show.

With Evan Rachel Wood and Gwyneth Paltrow taking the lead, several other celebrities went with the red carpet safe choice of black.
Jenna Ushkowitz was monotone in her high-slit dress. It was an interesting piece of art on her, with the unique geometric-shaped bodice, but I'm really glad she pulled her hair back into a sleek ponytail to keep things elegant and chic. It definitely worked and is something different from her usual red carpet looks.

True Blood's Anna Paquin wore her favorite designer Alexander McQueen as she presented on stage with Scott Cann. I love Alexander McQueen designs and I love how Anna rocks them every time, but honestly, it's getting a little boring. She always picks the ones that are black with embellishments or a touch of gold so she's starting to make appearances with the same looks far too often. Good thing this cowl-neck dress is not over-the-top and she wore her hair right with it. So she still looked great, but I'm definitely looking forward to a change. 

Aimee Teegarden looked so pretty in her single-shoulder Romona Keveza gown with an uneven hemline. Loved the pulled back hair and dramatic earrings. But she could have been more adventurous with her look rather than going for black throughout. Despite that, Aimee never fails to amaze me with her new looks. 

Kaley Cucuo of the Big Bang Theory sitcom served as presenter at the Emmy's with David Spade, presenting The Amazing Race with Outstanding Reality Competition Program. Romona Keveza was Kaley's choice for the ceremony as she spiced up the black single-shoulder black frock with bright red ankle-strap heels by Zanotti and a matching Judith Leiber clutch. Absolutely loving the splash of red against the black.

Blue was one of the popular colors for the night, as Katie Holmes wore. [FYI, blue is a big color for Fall 2011 and continues into 2012!] Cobie Smulders of sitcom How I Met Your Mother brightened up the evening with her teal blue Alberta Ferretti number and her short wavy hairstyle, channeling old-Hollywood glamour. The gown is such a pretty blue!! She looked so sweet, the color is absolutely refreshing. She's definitely one of my favorites, following Gwyneth Paltrow!

Emily Blunt turned up with hubby John Krasinski who was there to support his television series, The Office. The Brit actress wore an Elie Saab number from its Fall Couture 2011 collection. The details on the dress are so intricate and the midnight blue is such a perfect shade of dark blue against Emily's pale complexion. The Kelly Locke clutch also complements the dress really well.

Emily's look kinda clashed with Minka Kelly's Christian Dior look if you asked me. It's different but same if you know what I mean. Besides the different cutting, with Minka's choice being more conservative on the front but sexy with the laced sleeves, the rest of it you kinda just take them to look alike. I kind of prefer Minka's Dior dress, but I think overall, Emily Blunt carried her look better. 

Saturday Night Live's Amy Poehler went minimalist with a Peter Som.  The sparkly dress had a simple and clean cut, but the lights reflecting off the shimmery material made it a perfect dress for the platinum blonde star to walk the red carpet in. 

Claire Danes wore a straight-off-the-runway piece from Oscar de la Renta's Spring RTW 2012 Collection. The blue strapless sequinned dress sure played up the blonde's sparkly blue eyes. The look was simple and with the patterns on the dress, accessorizing was kept to a minimum and restricted to earrings and rings. Claire Danes carried off the dress effortlessly, even better than the runway model did!

Glee's Dianna Agron took on a little different look from her usual red carpet outfits as she opted for this blue Roksanda Illincic sleeveless number. The shade of blue on this Fall 2011 RTW piece is really beautiful but I don't like how her arms look in it and how her hair is styled. She looks older than she really is, somehow, so I'm not giving thumbs up for this.

Heather Morris went reaching for the skies with her high up-do but super low on her deep-V cut gun metal-grey tiered gown. This look didn't work for me, the hair was way too high it looked a little too wild. The dress was fine but the color wasn't exactly flattering.

Bridesmaids' leading actress Kristen Wigg also went deep-V in a Zac Posen ombre sleeveless gown. She looked so stunning, even with minimal accessories and fuss-free curled locks. One of my favorites of the night - less IS more! (If you enjoyed Bridesmaids as much as I did, then look out for its DVD that's launching soon!)

Host of the night was Glee's Sue Sylvester cheerleading coach Jane Lynch. I didn't catch the re-telecast of the Emmy's but I believe she would have been great (I read that she sang!). But it does feel like I've seen a lot of purple on Jane already, so I would love to see her in other colors. Nonetheless, with her broad shoulders and towering height, she looks so good in long, flowy gowns, as she did in this custom David Meister Signature piece. Lorraine Schwartz colorful earrings and bangles completed her look.

Jayma Mays didn't impress me this time, as she does all the time. Her tiered light pink cocktail dress looked a little too childish for such a big night. The sash around her waist isn't helping and neither is her matching pink clutch. Argh disappointment.

Glee's leading lady Lea Michele wore a Marchesa ruched cap-sleeve gown that fit her perfectly. Lea continues carrying her bangs hair-cut, with straight locks this time, and some very little Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. She's definitely carrying on her red carpet perfect-10 streak.

Megastar Kate Winslet was red-hot in a low-cut Elie Saab. The Contagion actress kept her look simple with dainty Cartier earrings and bracelets and a red clutch by Roger Vivier. The outfit was classic, befitting a classic beauty like Kate. I'm kinda glad she lost the belt too.

Kerry Washington's dress was probably the most outstanding out of the sea of clean, red dresses. Her Zuhair Murad strapless, embroidered number was revealing at the bottom half and was a tad too sexy for the Emmy's. So, I didn't fancy this look. What'd you think?

Nina Dobrev of Vampire Diaries rocked her slender body in a sexy Donna Karan mermaid-cut gown. She doesn't look one bit like she's 22, does she? She's definitely trying to channel the sexy, hot look with her choice of outfit and her side-swept hair. Complete with Neil Lane jewels and a Judith Leiber clutch, Nina looked smashing.

Following blue, red and black, was Modern Family's Sofia Vergara and Sarah Hyland's coral gowns. Sofia's gown was a custom Vera Wang single-shoulder, figure-hugging mermaid-cut dress. I love this color on her! It's a refreshing change from the cobalt blue and fuchsia dresses we often see her in. Really fancy the short train and lace peeking out from underneath. The Colombian actress finished off her look with giant earrings from Lorraine Schwartz.

Sofia's Modern Family co-star Sarah Hyland also wore coral (coincidence?) but channeled a more youthful vibe with her single-shoulder pleated Christian Siriano dress. The jeweled belt is really nice but not the silver Giuseppe Zanotti heels. Those were kind of too heavy for her light, flowy dress. She should've traded them for something strappy.

Mad Men took home the award for Outstanding Drama Series and Christina Hendricks wasn't in red! What a relief! She went with a silver palette this time, matching in color from head to toe (not literally, considering she has red hair and red lipstick on), from her Johanna Johnson embellished gown, to her Louboutin shoes and Judith Leiber clutch. I like her choice of color as it neutralizes her red hair and lips.

Supermodel Heidi Klum supported her good friend and Project Runway winner Christian Siriano by wearing one of his custom-design piece to the Emmy Awards as she rooted for her show which was up (but lost to The Amazing Race) for Outstanding Reality Competition Program (damn!). The ivory strapless dress featured an interesting hemline, and was paired with matching Christian Louboutin pumps. I don't love it, but I don't dislike it either. At least she was appropriately dressed for the occasion.

Kelly Osbourne took my breath away with her outrageously stunning look on the red carpet. The platinum blonde British lady looked so gorgeous her her J. Mendel plum-colored gown, there's nothing about her look I didn't like. From the hair to the accessories to her dress. OMG! Love love love!

Rashida Jones clashed her dark red lips against her light pink strapless Alberta Ferretti gown, along with her side-swept bangs updo. Her make-up is an interesting and strong choice against her soft, feminine dress. I personally like it, it's a daring take that turned out well, though I think the eyes are a little over-done.

Yes Man actress Zooey Deschanel looked so adorable in her pastel pink Monique Lhuillier ballgown that features a contrasting self-tie at the waist. Her half up-do completes the look and doesn't she look a little like Katy Perry? She hasn't been looking so good recently so this really ups the points in my books.

Looks like Elie Saab was a big name on the red carpet for the Emmy's this year. If I had to pick my favorite (among Cobie Smulders in Alberta Ferretti, Kristen Wiig in Zac Posen and Kelly Osbourne in J. Mendel), I think I'm going for Kelly Osbourne! She really looked so looked in that dress, and she looked like she's having loads of fun! Love the smile on that girl!
