Emmys Fashion 2012


The 2012 Prime Time Emmy Awards glammed up downtown Los Angeles Sunday night, and celebrities displayed some of the season's hottest trends from bold colors and blues to asymmetrical styles. There were winners and losers of the night both in esteemed awards and fashion.


 Although "worst" and "best" dressed lists have been rampant on television and the blogosphere, many different sources conflict with one another in their decisions and Plush is about to weigh in. The steamy night provided for some hair mishaps and gown length was definitely a must have for the formal Red Carpet event. Popular runway trends like lace, floral patterns, and neon colors, inspired starlettes this weekend.


One popular trend was lighter hues of blue and teal. Glamorous stars like Zooey Deschanel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Maria Menounos adorned flowing blue gowns at the awards ceremony. Each star selected their dresses according to personal style and glam. Zooey went for a more playful ballerina style, sweetheart neck, ball gown whereas Sofia went for a "va-va-voom" look more consistent with her Columbian sex appeal. Both Maria and Heidi went for the Angelina Jolie inspired leg revealing slits in their blue dress choices.


Actresses Gennifer Goodwin and Leslie Mann opted for more daring, current fashion trends. Goodwin looked stunning in a nude gown covered in red-orange gown floral detailing by Monique Lhuillier. The dress was certainly unique and fit the star perfectly. Mann, accompanied by her husband Judd Apatow creator of TV Show Girls, was thrilled to be wearing a dress from her favorite designer Naeem Khan. Mann looked vibrant in the neon yellow and had fun playing with her dress pockets during the event!



Funny women Kat Dennings and Tina Fey looked perfect in their floor-length red gowns. Red has always been an awards show favorite in the past and these ladies certainly got it right. Kat picked a dress to suit her bustier figure as Tina selected a tight fitting number with structure and embellishment around the top.


The ladies of show Modern Family definitely shined on the Red Carpet. Julie Bowen looked slender and tan in her neon green number as a younger Sarah Hyland selected a mature option of grey with floral embellishment. The cast picked up multiple wins for their performances and their styling.


Other shows' leading ladies were not as lucky. The women of Mad Men received harsh criticism for their looks on the carpet. Christina Hendricks is an inspiration to busty women everywhere, however, by belting her gown with a more casual belt, she seemed to ruin her look for the night. January Jones usually has a very clean cut, classic look. For the Emmys she decided to go for an edgier look with slicked back hair that looked a little too severe. Although Elisabeth Moss wasn't the worst dressed of the three ladies, the cut and pattern of the dress was awkward and you are the fashion company you keep.


The new HBO series Girls' inspired a challenge for the three actresses above. Their first Red Carpet debut had triumphs and defeats. Lena DunhamAllison Williams, and Zosia Mamet had a big night to get primped for—their runaway HBO hit, Girls, earned the Outstanding Comedy Series nomination! Williams opted for a green silk peplum Oscar de la Renta gown, while Dunham wore a lace Prada dress. Meanwhile, Mamet chose her Bibhu Mohapatra two-tone design at the last minute.

The stars that did not shine as bright this weekend ended up on some worst dressed lists. Many of these lists  include Glenn Close in a gothic, tapered frock, as well as Ashley Judd in Carolina Herrera, and Julianne Moore in a yellow long sleeve gown.


Kristen Wiig, Julianna Marguiles and Hayden Panettiere have also been featured on some "worst dressed" lists. However, these looks have not been as drastically insulted as the former gowns mentioned.
