Emmys 2011: Red Carpet Live!

OK, let's get this party started.


Kelly Osbourne, looking pretty good. Love the color on this gown, but it's fitted poorly at the top. Still, she looks great considering her father's the Prince of Darkness.


Emmanuelle Chriqui in a red stunner from Donna Karan, but the bottom looks like a bunch of cocktail napkins tacked there with a hasty stitch or two.


Julia Stiles. Love this very feminine silohuette. Lots of pretty draping on the bodice.


Cobie Smulders in a gorgeous teal-y, robin's egg blue chiffon gown with flowing train. So far, my favorite look for the evening.


Jayma Mays in a well... in something I'm pretty sure one of my 1980s Barbies wore. Ooof, this is a hot mess. It's a near antebellum-catastrophe, all that's missing is the hoop.




Jennifer Carpenter channeling Jennifer Lopez, but without the curves and the entourage. It's a little Vegas-y for my taste. I'm not averse to bling, but I dunno. I'm on the fence here.


Christine Baranski. I kinda love this. She looks fab in this daring plunging neckline. The sleeves are constructed in an unexpected way and the collar is a nice touch. It's not your average LBD. Well done. 



Joel McHale, who's obviously put getting on the worst dressed list on his agenda for this evening. 



Lea Michele, looking fabulous as usual. The back is a draped plunger. The sleeves are origami-esque. Fits like a glove. Exact same color as the red carpet. Lovely. 


Christina Hendricks, who should be playing Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming biopic -- not Michelle Williams, but I digress. This color washes her out and I'm not crazy about the fit on top, but with a top like that -- it's always hard to get the fit right. 



Cat Deely in Monique Lhullier. Eh. Terrible bag. Beach hair. She looks like she rolled out of bed. 


Michelle Forbes. Some might find this boring, but the detail is to die for. The bust line is really flattering, as are the soft rosettes on the skirt. Really lovely. 




Juliana Margolies. And we have a contender for WORST DRESSED. On film, this dress is a complete disaster. Trust me when I say a still photo does not do this catastrophe justice. Those jeweled embellishments on the bodice look like the giant teardrops of a sad hobo clown. 


Kaley Cuoco. This is a terrible photo of a really adorable dress, which is even cuter from the back. Some might chastise her for doing the red bag and shoes, but I think this is adorably retro -- sue me. 
 

Claire Danes. Ick. That is all.

Jane Krakowski in a silvery ivory number. She always looks fab. Rarely ever gets it wrong. 


Naya Rivera in a gorgeously retro formfitting gown. From the hair to the silhouette, she got it right.  


Kerry Washington. Great up top, falls apart by the bottom. Did they run out of lining? 


Elizabeth Moss in Marchesa, which might actually be one of my favorite dresses of the evening. 


Gwyneth Paltrow in Pucci. Yet another contender for WORST DRESSED. WTF is with the midriff? Really? So tacky.
 

Heidi Klum in Christian Siriano. I had to slam Siriano, but I gotta do it. I just gotta. The effing ruffles on this schmattah look like wilted broccoli. If this walked down the Project Runway, Heidi would tear it a new asshole. 
Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang. Gor-ge-ous. Nuff said.


Katie Holmes, who obviously stopped by the Emmy red carpet just after working out at her gym.


Evan Rachel Wood and Kate Winslet. Yawn. They bore me.
