Predictions for the 2013 Emmys: What The Hottest Stars Should Wear?


The Emmys are here, the Emmys are here! In few hours, our favorite television stars will glide down the red carpet and hopefully snag some of those treasured statuettes. Fashion nerds, however, will be glued to the television for one reason only: the clothes. We long to see what fresh runway picks our favorite leading ladies will wear. Though we won't know until they step out of their stretch limos, I'm revealing my predictions for the 2013 Emmys. Because a girl's got to dream, right?

Lena Dunham in Lanvin AW 2013 : As the self-titled voice of our generation, don't expect the Girls writer and star to wear a standard gown--how mainstream. This Lanvin number is quirky enough to bolster Dunham's aesthetic while landing her a spot on all the best dressed lists.

Claire Danes in Roberto Cavalli AW 2013: No stranger to fuss-free threads, the Homeland star rarely wears black on the red carpet. Between the comfortable silhouette and the thoughtful details, Danes would look absolutely stunning in this dress.

Michelle Dockery in Armani Pive Fall Couture 2013: I mean, could this be anymore perfect? Whether or not the Downtown Abbey star ditches the fuzzy collar, it's almost as if this dress was made for Dockery.
Elizabeth Moss in Marchesa Resort 2014: The Mad Men star never fails to  find dresses that perfectly juxtapose ladylike chic with fashion-forward glamour. In true Moss form, this proper shape is perfectly paired with a whimsical tulle skirt.

Emilia Clarke in Atelier Versace Fall Couture 2013: Never afraid to turn heads, this structured frock is both contemporary and undeniably sexy, With a sleek ponytail, there's no doubt that the Game of Thrones star could absolutely rock this.

January Jones in Zuhair Murad Fall Couture 2013: It's no surprise that this starlet adores structural, semi-sexy frocks.With a curve-hugging silhouette and thought-provoking bodice, this pick fits the sartorial bill.

Ginnifer Goodwin in Naeem Khan AW 2013: A true style trailblazer, The embellished neckline would look just fabulous with Goodwin's sharp jawline and pixie cut. Though the silhouette is more serene than her previous choices, the defiant slit adds the necessary drama.

Kerry Washington in Elie Saab Fall Couture 2013: After a string of colorful dresses, this pastel number offers a new, eye-pleasing look. The gown is feminine while the semi-sheer bodice makes this a best dressed contender.
Sofia Vergara in Zuhair Murad Fall Couture 2013: No stranger to this sultry silhouette, the Modern Family funny-woman would be a vision in this couture design. As per usual, she would probably wear her hair down and accessorize with some standouts earrings.

Christina Hendricks in Marchesa AW 2013: Everyone knows that the Mad Men star loves an uber glamorous ensemble. Not only would this Marchesa  frock hug her sought-after curves to a T, the red embellishments would be the perfect match for her fiery mane.

Valentino Fall Couture 2013: With a little bit of lining, this intricate couture piece would look just lovely on the Girls actress. The pale color scheme would contrast her dark locks beautifully, don't you think?

Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Cushnie et Ochs AW 2013: Good bye conservative veep suits, hello Cushnie. Age-appropriate and contemporary, this dress perfectly dances on the line between structured and feminine. Love!

Julie Bowen in Giorgio Armani AW 2013: Since the Emmy winner is always eager to try new styles, this Armani number would be perfect for her. The dress's skirt is sophisticated while the defiant neckline screams, "Come hither."  In this hypothetical situation, she would nix the hat for the red carpet.

Zooey Deschanel in Monique Lhuillier AW 2013: The notorious quirky girl would definitely ace the Emmys in this feminine number.  Just imagine: a retro bun, her trademark winged liner, and some nail art.

Tina Fey in Zac Posen AW 2013: Unfortunately, this is last year Fey will be representing Liz Lemon at the Emmy awards. Translation? She needs to really own it on the red carpet. Not only would the red look amazing on the Queen of Comedy, the silhouette is classic Fey.
What do you think your favorite stars are going to wear on the red carpet? Sound off below!

2012 SAG Awards

Is it just me or are the Screen Actor's Guild Awards always painfully boring? While I'm so thrilled that Modern Family and The Help were some of last night's big winners, I never love the ceremony. The fashion, on the other hand, oh that's another story. Surprisingly enough, I was very happy with most of the looks that strutted down the red carpet. Of course that made me happy, but I always love pulling out my inner Joan Rivers. So let's get the show on the road, shall we?




The good news is that some of my fashion predictions came true! We saw sleek silhouettes, pops of color, some funky patterns, and even a bold lip or two!
THE WORST 
  • Kristen Wiig (Balenciaga): The worst look of the night, by far. I'm genuinely concerned with her stylist's mental state. A halter neck is enough pizazz so there's no need for a chocker. Instead of looking chic, she just looks like a dominatrix. Also, I don't like the cinched waist on this dress: it makes her look a million times more awkward and gangly. Kristen Wiig is such a funny lady, but I'm not laughing at this look at all.
  • Kaley Cuoco (Romona Keveza): Just no. First of all, I absolutely hate this hair. Sure, it'd be absolutely precious with a sundress and cowboy boots, but for an awards show? You must be kidding me. Also, this dress is too much for the SAG Awards, especially when she's not a nominee. Awkward... 
  • Kevin Mchale (Don't Want to Know):A word of advice: don't get fashion  inspiration from Adam Lambert.  Love his music, but his outfits are just...not chic. Men, dressing up for an awards show is so easy to do so just go casual.
  • Amber Riley (Badgley Mischka): Although I love that form-fitting silhouette on her, I hate this look. The bow is just way too much: she's going to an award show, not a Sweet Sixteen. And what's up with that hair? Way too matronly for Miss Riley. I want to see her in more edgy pieces: she has the eye for them! 
  • Zoe Saldana (Givenchy): Way too modest. I think this would look awesome for a more fashion-forward event, but she should've worn something more fun. This is the SAG awards for crying out loud, it's on TNT! Also, I don't like those shoes with this dress: the dress is so angelic while the shoes aren't. And not even in a cool juxtapositional way.  If I have to be honest: single and miserable just doesn't work for her.  
  • Busy Phillips (SIMONE by Katie Nehra): Just because it's the SAG Awards doesn't mean you can just stroll up in your new cover-up and call it a day. The dress is hideous: it's not flattering and that fabric belt makes me hostile.  But the awkward multi-necklaces are the perfect thing to salvage this look, right? Wrong. What is she, twelve?  I kind of like the hair, but not with this look.  Also, who even is Busy Phillips? 
  • Heather Morris (Masai Payan): The hair, the awkward patent leather, the train, the arbitrary earrings, oh, and that TRAIN ...there's literally nothing right about this look. The stylist clearly wanted to go so many different directions with this dress. Unfortunately all four of them ae wrong. So wrong. Heather's gorgeous; however, this is really tragic. 
  • Jane Krakowski (Antonio Berardi): I feel mildly violated. I love the silhouette on her, but the bodice is just too much. On Emma Stone, or a younger actress, this would've looked spectacular. However, this is too young for her. I'd rather her sing about her Muffin  Top.
  • Shailene Woodley (L'Wren Scott): Wait, she got to keep some costumes from The Descendants? I hate this so much: the print isn't even that flattering on her and I don't like the lack of accessories. Shame, SHAME! 

THE BEST
  • Giuliana Rancic (Basil Soda): Obsessed. I love the silhouette of this dress: it's not too fancy, but definitely fashion-forward.  Her hair and makeup worked is so event- appropriate. The statement necklace perfectly ties this whole look together. Perfection.
  • Rose Bryne (Elie Saab): Although I'm not a huge fan of her new bob, I'm so smitten with this look. She took such a fashion risk- which paid off- and there is no better place to experiment with a playsuit than the SAG Awards. It fits her like a glove and the gold accessories? Major. I so admire her all of her style risks and her unapologetic attitude in terms of her vision. 
  • Julie Bowen (Temperley London): Such a come back after the Golden Globes fiasco.   I love this purple on her and can we talk about the silhouette? Genius. The column bottom  complements the draped back. Her easy updo finishes this look on a high note. In love. 
  • Jayma Mays (Reem Acra): This dress is literally the perfect mix of edgy- a la sequins- and dainty with the lace. The silhouette is so old school glamour and the lack of accessories totally works with this dress. Though I don't usually like perky ponytails, her hair keeps this look refreshing. 
  • Emilia Clarke (Chanel): The detailing on this Chanel dress is literally too good to be true. Since the feathered skirt is black, it looks chic instead of cheesy. The futuristic sleeves and neckline are beautifully executed. What makes these two very different components so compatible is the floral belt that separates the two and gives a steady progression into the next "fashion element." The messy hair perfectly counteracts this semi-architectural piece. Also, can I ever reist a red lip? Nope.
  • Stacy Keibler (Marchesa): Take a note, Lea Michele: this is Marchesa done correctly.  I have a very rational love for lace, even though it can occasionally look matronly. This dress' form-fitting silhouette makes the lace seem youthful. Stacy keeps it simple by sporting a a black clutch and a messy updo. She looks cool, sophisticated, and definitely like a Mrs. Clooney.
  • Emily Blunt (Oscar de la Renta): This is definitely one of my favorites from last night. Nobody else wore this color on the red carpet, so I definitely admire her confidence and originality. The asymmetrical neckline and the sexy slit pushes the envelope on this dress; however, her pile of bracelets balances this look out. The bold lip  and incredible sparkly shoes keeps his look strong from head to toe. Gorgeous.
  • Dianna Agron (Carolina Herrera): She literally looks like a fashion princess. This beautiful magenta is so flattering with her complexion and hair color. The silhouette is also extremely flattering, which is a big step from her Emmys look. The feminine makeup and the subtle braided updo oozes femininity, which I love.
  • Emma Stone (Alexander McQueen): How is it that Emma hits it out of the ball park every single time? The dress, shoes, hair, and makeup scream 1960's beauty queen, in the chicest way possible, while her accessories are so edgy it's crazy. These two inspirations don't overpower one another or clash:  they work together to create a cohesive and fashion-forward ensemble. 
  • Octavia Spencer (Tadashi Shoji): How cute is this woman? Every thank you speech she gives warms my soul. Anywho, she looks awesome. I love this outfit on her: the silhouette is uber flattering and the color is absolutely fabulous with her skin tone. The nature-inspired earrings work so well with the intricate bodice. Gorgeous.
  • Angelina Jolie (Jenny Packham): This look is a complete 180 from her Golden Globes ensemble., which I'm thrilled about.  I love the understated glamour of this: though the silhouette is rather simple, the draping and fabric spices this dress up and makes it something truly special. Also, who can pull off gold hoops anymore, you ask? Angelina Jolie, that's who. They don't look trashy, but uber glam. So good.
  • Ahna O'Reilly (Nha Khanh): Ultimate lady in red. Can we talk about this back? Fabulous! The bold bangle is the perfect way to finish off this look. Minimalism, but a minimalism that I love.
