Emmys 2009: Honorable Mention

I’ve just perused the red carpet pics of the emmys and I have to say — not impressed.  Maybe I’ve become older and jaded and modified ice skating frocks don’t thrill me as they did when I was seven.  Or maybe it was the influx of reality and teen drama stars whose style, historically, is wanting.  IDK.    But this year seemed like a mixed bag of either too tart, too sweet, or too frumpy.  There were quite a lot of folds and pleats gone wrong, not fitting the actresses bodies well.  Draping is a delicate business and doesn’t necessarily transfer from runway model to “real girl” figure.

So here are the girls I thought were worth mentioning, drumroll, in this exact order:

38m

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

29m

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

42m

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The girls are in Isaac Mizrahi, Versace, and Monique Lhuillier.And for next year remember fit, fit, fit.  It could be a beautiful dress, but if it doesn’t fit well you may as well show up in a burlap sack.
