FASHION: Top 5 Emmy Trends

Watching the Emmy's was a great way to wind down the weekend, and if you know me then you know watching the red carpet looks beforehand is pretty much my favorite part of any awards show! 

I've been inspired by so many looks this season, but it's always fun to see what the trends are in the black tie department.  

Here's a few of my favorites from the evening.

pure glam:
Hayden Panettiere has grown up so much since "Remember the Titans".  I've always been a big fan, especially with this ultra glam Marchesa dress.  Looking forward to seeing her in the new series "Nashville" this fall.

a different shade of grey:
I've always loved Lucy Lui.  Especially in this super chic silver metallic gown by Versace.  I don't think many people could pull it off, however she executes this look with execellence.

the belt line:
I saw tons of belted gowns on the red carpet, which is fine by me because a cinched waist is super feminine in my opinion.  However, Edie Falco took the the belt trend to a whole new level by adding a very modern edge in this Stella McCartney gown.  That nail color is outstanding by the way.

neon, neon. 
I saw about three actresses wearing this neon yellow color last night.  It's exceptional.  Daring, yet fun.  I think the trick is to keep the style basic and just let the brightness of the color do the talking.  Julianne Moore looks effortlessly striking in this Dior gown.  A great contrast with her red hair.  Magnificent.

a sequin story. 
It's no secret that I have a small obsession with sequins.  So of course I feel in love with Kerry Washington's Vivienne Westwood gown.  The soft rose color compliments her skin beautifully.  Well done.
