EMMY AWARDS RED CARPET LOOKS
The Emmys were on last night. I didn't see any major fashion disasters, but then again, I was only half watching. I did see a lot of fabulous-looking dresses, however. Here are my picks for "WOW!"
Sandra Oh
Heidi Klum
Lisa Edelstein
Marcia Cross 
Christina Applegate
Brooke Shields
LIMITED GLITZ AT THE GRAMMYS
The Grammys were almost too dull to comment on. But as a style blog, I have to address the dressed - i.e. who hit a high note and sour note in fashion.
Looks like a lot of boring, ugly outfits dominated the show and cobalt blue ruled the red carpet. Beyonce looked like she was half-swallowed by a tin foil and taffeta fish; ever the bad dresser, Yoko Ono looked a little Tom Petty with the white top hat; and I don't even want to speculate what was going on with Cher.
Do I have anything nice to say about anyone? Well, Beyonce's little sister, Solange, looked gorgeous in a little black dress (and those shoes!), which appeared in stark contrast to big sis' cheap-looking get-up.
Prince's classy red suit stood out in a sea of tacky and dull.
Mark Ronson sported hipster-chic in a Dolce and Gabanna suit and skinny tie.
Amy Winehouse looked equal parts rock-n-roll and glam, reminding viewers what the Grammy's are supposed to look like.

Sandra Oh looks more "Oh no" than "oh yeah" in this weird pink and black getup. I can't quite figure out what's going on here, but it looks completely out of balance and just wrong. Big bows anywhere on your body are just asking for trouble.
I adore Jenna Fischer but I think that this gown is just plain wrong for her. Something about the way it fits her makes her look dumpy and a dumpy girl she's not. The straps look like they may strangler her and the bodice is too tight, making the rest of the dress seem puckered and ill-fitting.
If you're going to go pink and black than do it the Dana Delaney way (sorry, Sandra). The wrap gives just enough oomph to this stunning little black dress.
Christina Applegate was stunning in this silver gown by Elie Saab. She's come a long way from Kelly Bundy.
Rebecca Romijn was gorgeous in this black and white Roberto Cavalli dress. I love the overlay and the way it fall below the hemline.
Hands-down my favorite look of the evening. I love this color on her and it's not too yellow; just enough buttercup to exude cheer and confidence. The tiered skirt is whimsical and the brooch on her waist is a nice detail. Also, the way the gown fits her is extraordinary. 
EMPTY DRESSES
Since the red carpet was rolled up this year at the Golden Globes, there were no fashion hits or misses to size-up, and sadly, no subsequent issues of US Weekly or People devoted to the evening for us to probe. Designers probably wanted to hang themselves with the extra yards of taffeta and satin they must have had hanging around, or at least they must have wanted to sob into the empty, silk bodices of the frocks they had already constructed. Gwenyth Paltrow was expected to wear a gown that Valentino had designed for her (which will be shown on January 23 in Paris when the designer retires) and a four-month-pregnant Cate Blanchett had a special mommy-to-be dress made for her by Armani.
If you're suffering from red carpet fashion withdrawal, head over to PopSugar's blog and check out the photos from The Art of Elysium 10th Anniversary Gala held in LA over the weekend. Fashion-wise, it's no GG, but at least it's for a better cause and we didn't need to listen to any fifteen-minute-long acceptance speeches.
P.S. - Is it me or does Calista Flockheart look like she's wearing a couple different colored tanks beneath her dress?
P.P.S. - What about Zach Braff's scared-as-hell expression? Did he just get an eyeful of Jared Leto's weird black get-up?
