Hey there and Happy Monday!

I must say that, for the most part, the majority of the attendees at the 2010 Prime time Emmy Awards looked great… scratch that… They looked good.  After I have reviewed all of the pictures and footage of the star-studded event, I am left asking one question… Why was Kate Gossellin there?  In all seriousness I have to say her hair looked better than I have seen it in some time – glad she got a good weave. Her dress on the other hand, aside from being slightly “promish,” did fit her fairly well, and I feel it would have fit her better if she didn’t try to smuggle two of her kids into the gala in her bra.  Really Kate – are those things new?  The fabric on her bodice gathered around the…umm…center of her twins caused even me to stare for a slightly uncomfortable length of time.  “And the Emmy for using your ability to have a large amount of children and profit from them goes to…”

Surprisingly, many of the usual fashion disasters were able to pull together something beautiful and in the case of Kelly Osbourne, I have to say that she seems to have grown into a beautiful young lady.  The dress that adorned the rock princess was the creation of Tony Ward, and it was perfect for her.  I don’t like to see stars attempting a look that is simply does not fit them.  This dress showed off her new “slightly smaller frame” (you go girl) and still showed off her care-free attitude.  It was reported that when asked what he thought of his daughter’s appearance, Ozzy sweetly said, “umgh ytst lok night umm it thhsu jbegdt”.  Awwww he is proud of his little girl.

In the day of reality super stars no red carpet would be complete without the incomparable Kim K.  Her name is becoming about as common on the lips of everything pop culture as her fellow celebs that are all famous for having talent.  I take that back, she is actually, in my opinion, a very talented woman.  She has grown a “well known name” in to an empire and her whole family truly has her to thank.  The only think that could have made her red carpet appearance more goddess like would have been for her to arrive via chariot.  This stunning creation by Marchesa was definitely fit for this queen.  Her stylist allowed the dress to be both the gown and the jewelry, giving her left arm a touch of glamour with a beautiful bobble that I am sure was handpicked for her.  Her hair pulled up and back in a very intentional but unintentional way showing off her face and giving the boddess the “stage.”  Way to go Kim!  I have to say I was enthralled with your look.

Other usual fashion divas were not given the same praise by the press for their choices in attire. Heidi Klum continues to remind us that she has had children.  We get it Heidi.  I have to say that at first glance, I love this pillow sham!  I just wish it had a bit more length on it and for some reason every time I would see her pose it looked a bit bunchy at her hips.  To me this pulled an umpa loompa appearance. I guess when you are Heidi Klum the best and worst dressed list isn’t even on your radar, and honestly, if we all had her legs we would more than likely be wearing the same thing.

The women were not the only people on the red carpet turning heads. When we talk about Hollywood elite we can’t help but talk about Neil Patrick Harris and his partner (both soon to be fathers).  This “Gay-List” couple made quite the entrance, and I have to say I am so proud to live in a country in a time when people don’t make a big deal about it.  In looking at this happy couple I couldn’t help but notice that Neil’s “hubby” dressed it down a bit allowing him to be the “star.”  “Doogie” was indeed dapper in his two-tone tux discretely stating an air of confidence while this power couple made their way down the carpet.

On the other hand Ty Burrell and his wife obviously didn’t take lessons from the same fashion rulebook.  I don’t know why comedians have to make obviously stupid fashion choices for the sake of saying, “I’m too funny to worry about black shoes.”  And I simply don’t have enough blog space to discuss everything that is wrong with this costume of a dress.

All in all this glamorous award show was  a big fashion “DO” with a few WHOA’s.  Others on my best-dressed list are Tina Fey and Claire Danes and one person didn’t make either list, as she should have stayed on the set of “Best Little Whore House in Texas.” January Jones, honey, fire your stylist.  The hair, the dress; there is simply nothing that works here.  Her shoes look as though they may have been an afterthought and the lack of jewelry leaves her neck and chest very bare.  Maybe next year my dear!

Thank you again for checking out my blog and if you would like to comment on any of the fashions I have mentioned please feel free to do so.

Live an M Famous life and stay fabulous…
