I noticed some definite trends in the 2009 Emmy gowns. One was the use of red – it was all over the place. There were also a lot of asymetrical necklines and one-shoulder looks. I’m torn over the one shoulder looks. Sometimes it’s beautiful, but other times it looks like two completely dresses. It doesn’t always flow and it can be very distracting. Do you want to wear a dress or do you want your dress to wear you.
Here are a couple of examples of the red dresses…..
Ana Tov – This was my favorite of the red gowns. I love the neckline and if I were her, I’d be tempted to wear this dress every day. Her body looks incredible.
Blake Lively – I noticed that this dress was on a lot of the BEST/WORST lists, but I think it’s gorgeous. Not wearing a necklace was a great choice.
Debra Messing – I like the use of one-shoulder here. It’s one piece and does not look like it belongs to another dress or like it’s an after thought.
Here is a beautiful vintage Giorgio Armani gown that is both red and one-shouldered. Wow. I love the gathered bodice and the use one-shoulder design works perfectly here.
Giorgio Armani gown DC-0016
$6400
Giorgio Armani silky gathered stretch jersey bodice gown with asymmetrical, single-shoulder construction and exuberant (and endless) ruffled silk organza skirt. Waist measures 28″, and the bodice’s jersey fabric will stretch to fit most relative bust sizes, the length is 59″. Condition is excellent. Breathtaking.
