This year’s Emmy’s were a little underwhelming. Beautiful dresses graced the red carpet in hues of tangerine, silver/Smokey taupe’s and even turquoise. However there was a common thread of design in most dresses. We saw a lot of chiffon and draping. The California Carpet was covered in Grecian draping, with a hint of seduction in the strategically placed rouged straps.

There were a few break outs from the crowd like Lucy Liu in her metal dress and Sophia Vegara in an all over beaded turquoise gown. Ginnifer Goodwin of “Once Upon a Time” was creatively striking in her tangerine and nude avant guard lace gown. Although Haden Panettiere stepped out the box for this year’s red carpet, the fabric of her gown may have over shadowed her natural beauty.
