Emmy Awards 2011 Red Carpet Dresses

The 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards was a gala of stars. Did you watch the live show on TV last night? If yes, you should be impressed with what you saw on the red carpet. Several stars broke the fashion rule -- and looked amazing doing it. Check out the notable picks below and tell me who you think donned the look best.

Battle of the Red Dresses

There were more scarlet dresses than you could count. If you can believe it, these are just some of the women who wore red last night. Red prom dresses were in full force at the Emmys as seen on celebrities like Kate Winslet, Lea Michele, Nina Dobrev, and Kerry Washington. First of all, congrats to Kate Winslet for winning the best actress! And her look is simple but still stunning with a clean and expertly cut Elie Saab red gown. Star of the primtime phenomenon that is Glee, Lea Michele was spotted trying to stay cool. She chose a red dress cowl back Marchesa number with rosette shoulder details. It is interesting. But I honestly expected more especially since she’s become somewhat of a red carpet darling. It seemed like a last minute decision. Kerry Washington looked unfathomably hot in a strapless red Zuhair Murad Couture gown. My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw how amazing she looked. In spite of the red lips and clutch, the overall look wasn’t an overkill of the color in my eyes. Definitely it is one of my favorite red carpet dresses of the night.

Intricately Embroidered Prom Dress

Plenty of big stars from the small screen turned up on the red carpet, but many of their looks played it too safe or missed the mark. Gwyneth Paltrow was the evening's sole risk taker, and it paid off. Wearing an intricately embroidered Emilio Pucci evening dress that showed a flash of midriff, Gwynnie gave us a sneak preview of Peter Dundas' Spring collection, which will make its catwalk debut in Milan later this week.

Black Sparkle Evening Dresses

Julie Bowen was a winner on Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, who topped off her silvery gown with a Judith Leiber clutch and Neil Lane jewels. While the deep V-neck and beautiful appliques prom dressing made Emily Blunt one of the most glamorous star. Personally, there was so much to love about Evan Rachel Wood's Elie Saab look the train, the sparkle, the shape. It was all super-glamorous.

So whose dress is your fave? Why do you think it was such beautiful at the Emmy Awards this year? Let us know in the comment or Facebook!

Womens Clothing Inspiration-Would You Wear Color Blocking?

Just as what I mentioned in my last entry "Fall Trends 2011-Womens Clothing Update", color block will continue to run through the mainstream fashion industry in the upcoming season. In this post, we are going to focus on a rather bold and non-traditional color blocking for women's clothing that will soon be seen everywhere.

Color Blocking Prom Dressing

From bold colors overlap to elegant detail, color blocking looks great and can be the ideal selection for any fashionist who loves to display her sense for fashion. It is no wonder that many designers this year have used strong colors that go well combined with the dark shades of the season. Christian Siriano, one of my favorite fashion designer presented a stylish Fall 2011 collection during New York Fashion Week. Starting with dark-hued series, the show later turned into palette of rose pink and forest green. There was everything a fashionista can ask for like women's blazers and jackets, skirts, pants as well as beautiful dresses and fantasy gowns. The designer featured a palette of moss green, mauve pink, and muted black in the womens clothing adorned with laser-cut flower detailing, 3D incarnations as if they had petals and leaves. The gowns were dreamy and lady like. It included a hued orchid print organza prom dressing, flowing green printed strapless gown and long sleeved embellished min dress. The new season encourages you to another time of adventure than that of dark shades in the world and designers teach you how to break all the rules, but at the same time to have an elegant and chic look. So do not lose your brightness and vitality. Choose bold color combinations, accessories as colorful as can be and graphic details to attract all the attention to you.

Fall 2011 Color Trend

Typically fall hues are dark and gloomy, but the Fall 2011 Pantone Color report showcases fabulous hues of golden yellow, electric blue, and warm pink, purple and orange. Transitioning into these fall colors will be much easier as they are only a few tones darker and slightly more muted than most of your summer brights. Pay special attention to detail and combine different colors to get cool colored cebebrity style dresses, or choose colorful prints to take people’s breath away or floral sophisticated prints, simple or abstract prints.

Hopefully you can be inspired from the above information and share your creativity with us at Facebook. Color is full of fun and can bright up any of your outfits. And this season, find out the hottest color blocking and use this trend to create outfits with extraordinary details that fit your personality.
