2013 Emmy's Red Carpet Archives - Northern California Style

Dear reader friends, grab your latte, (heck by time I publish this it may be cocktail hour), and let’s hash over last nights fabs and flubs from the Emmy Awards. The show was pretty fast. I think Neil Patrick Harris did a great job and I loved the dance routine, especially the roaring 20’s part. Hey this is not an Emmy review post!

On with what really matters, the dresses!

My faves…

Loved Julia Louis-Dreyfus last night. She’s so natural and pretty and real. Her dress and hair were perfect!

Elizabeth Moss looks wonderful with her cute bob in this Andrew Gin!

Kerry Washington’s Marchesa dress was dreamy on her.

Michelle Dockery wearing Prada. Loved the colors here!

Padma Lakshmi is always lovely and her makeup and hair especially last night..

Anna Gunn had one of the prettiest looks of the night.

Rose Byrne in Calvin Klein.

Morgan Saylor looks perfect for a younger woman in this Honor number.

Christina Hendricks’ jewels, hair and makeup were lovely. Her dresses always fit her perfectly.

Go Jessica Lange! Not sure about the dress, but hair and makeup looked pretty.

Connie Britton in velvet brocade. I don’t know why everyone panned it so much, but I think it flatters her.

Not so sure about. . .

Claire Danes’ dress was ahhhmazing up close…However, not sure if it was flattering on her body type. That said, love her embracing her natural shape! No taped up chest here! Apparently that was a faux bob. I prefer her hair more natural.

Pretty hair and makeup, but this dress also did not flatter, (but did flatten) January Jones I thought.

Not a fan of . . .

I adore Robin Wright, but I just didn’t like this on her. The hair needed some styling. Maybe it was just that she has broad shoulders and with the flat hair, it just looked very masculine. Perhaps jewelry or a great clutch would have kicked it up a notch.

Really? Fashion Police and this is all she came up with? I expect a little more wow from Juliana Rancic, not to mention the girl needs some fat. She would be so much prettier if she gained some weight. Sorry but being too thin ages you, no? (Also, cut back on the spray tan girls. It’s not attractive and just so fake.)

Kelly Osbourne another Fashion Police gal, also should have been a win, but this very vintage-looking dress made her bigger than she is. I blame the top. Also, those kind of fluttery short sleeves look good on almost no one.

Julianne Hough in Jenny Packham. Too long and just don’t like seeing what looks like panties under. Looks about to fall off. What’s up with her hair?

I see why Lena Dunham chose this fun Prada number, but the bodice was unflattering. Got to be honest here and say I’m not a tattoo fan.

Sarah Hyland collaborated with Carolina Herrera on her dress, but it’s way too old for her and frankly, way too ugly. She needs to ditch the heavy makeup and tan! This looks like a Halloween costume.

Amy Poehler. Just meh. Something about the top seems cheap.

I think Mindy Kaling’s hair was pretty…Not so much the gown!

Adorable Sofia Vergara is always gorgeous, but haven’t we seen this Jessica Rabbit look from her every time? Love to see her hair up and something modern and different for a change.

Melissa Leo. Um, no.
