Ladies in Red

Lea Michele rocks red in Marchesa

Despite the trend towards shimmery this season, which we did see on last night's Emmy red carpet, the carpet wasn't the only thing that was red. The red trend seen at last year's Oscars was kept alive by Lea Michele's stunning red backless Marchesa, Nina Dobrev's couture strapless number, and our personal favorite, Sofia Vergara's one-of-a-kind curve hugging Vera Wang. These ladies may have matched the carpet, but they were far from blending in. While Miss Michele kept it simple and sophisticated with a simple front, the back of the dress was a cowl neck, exposing just enough skin without looking inappropriate. The best dressed of the evening however, was the Colombian knockout Miss Vergara, in a Vera Wang number designed especially for her. A one-shoulder, stretch silhouette accentuated her hourglass and the fire-engine red only added to her hotness.

A Close Second

Jayma Mays rocked the blush tones

The other trend was a return to sparkle and blush tones. Some people who rocked this trend included Sofia's "Smurfs" co-star, actress Jayma Mays, and TV's Eva La Rue. Kristen Wigg rocked the brown trend in a silk Zac Posen, and Katie Holmes and Gwyneth Paltrow tied for second in a cobalt Calvin Klein and Black lace Emilio Pucci, respectively.

The Take Away

From red to black, the take away from the evening was a return to monochromatic and simplicity in pattern. Rather than drench themselves in accessories and feathers or crazy patterns, the Emmy nominees and presenters played it safe, and we like that feeling. The actors like winner Guy Pearce, stuck to simple tuxedos and ties. Actresses like Kate Winslet and Evan Rachel Wood in a simple black Elie Saab proved that the allure of Old Hollywood is far from old.

Advantage + Vinatage = "Advintage"

In fact, what's old became new again, and lucky for them, the vintage appeal made it hard to choose a worst dressed. We are looking forward now to the Oscars and hope that vintage remains to what we like to call, their "advintage."
