Best Dressed: 2016 Emmy Awards

It’s that time of the year again – one of the biggest nights in television, the Emmy Awards. As you may know, my favorite thing about award shows is the red carpet and seeing what my favorite actors and actresses in television look like all glammed up.

LET’S START WITH MY TOP 5 (in no particular order):

Emilia Clarke –  I’m pretty biased here because Emilia will ALWAYS be part of my “best dressed on the red carpet” lists. It’s the way she carries herself on the red carpet. The “Outstanding Supporting Actress” nominee went for a blush colored strapless dress by Atelier Versace. With her hair up in a bun, she accentuated her neckline and kept it minimum with jewelry. She’s so poised and elegant every time, even if she’s one of the biggest dorks in the world (I say that out of love).

Kristen Bell – Yes, she’s back on our television screens! As I sit here contemplating  why Veronica Mars was never nominated for an Emmy, Kristen Bell in her Zuhair Murad dress is definitely a good distraction. The dress entailed a floral design perfect for the end of summer & beginning of fall! She rocked the low plunging neckline, but my absolute favorite part of the dress was the billowing skirt!

Tori Kelly – I know fans of the YouTube start will agree that Tori has come so far! You may know her for her music, but she stepped on the red carpet looking like a classic Hollywood actress.Along with her soft curls, she wore a black mermaid-style gown by Paule KaThere wasn’t much detail on the dress, but she accessorized well with a silver clutch and jewelry (Norman Silverman Diamonds).

Laverne Cox – She keeps making my best dressed lists! Her maroon dress she wore at this year’s SAG Awards is still my favorite look of hers, but this gold number by Naeem Kahn comes very close. The dress hugs her figure perfectly. She said she was excited of the possibility she may see Beyonce, but I definitely think she slayed the red carpet just like Beyonce would.

Sophie Turner – I still stand by my statement that she is a fashion icon of her generation. Out of this year’s award show red carpets, I noticed she likes to keep it neutral. Just like at the 2016 SAG Awards, she opted for a black dress but this time by Valentino. The spiked gold necklace accompanying this lacy dress gave it more edge ! Does anyone else think her look emulated Jennifer Lawrence? Maybe it’s the blonde hair, but either way, she rocked it!

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Kerry Washington – The Scandal star may be pregnant, but she did not let that stop her from walking (read WORKING) the red carpet. She looked fierce in a black Brandon Maxwell dress cut at the sides, accenting her baby bump.

Olivia Culpo – Why was former Miss USA Olivia Culpo at the Emmys? I’ll never know, but she looked beautiful AND fierce in this Zac Posen dress.

Priyanka Chopra – I love red and this dress by Jason Wu was the best looking red dress on the red carpet.

Sarah Paulson – Honestly, I was having J. Lo flashbacks with this embelisshed, emerald green gown.But this Prada gown was far from it and Sarah pulled it off!

Millie Bobby Brown – I haven’t seen Stranger Things, but I do know that this 12-year old in Valentino is capturing the hearts of many. So I’m calling it right now: this girl is going to be rocking many red carpets in the future and will most likely be a style icon.

BEST DRESSED MEN:

Yeah, the men have it easy, but not all of them can rock a good suit. Here’s a few that looked very dapper tonight.

From L to R: Tom Cullen, Rami Malek, Trevor Jackson

and of course my Game of Thrones babes Kit Harington & Pedro Pascal.

And that concludes my best dressed of the 2016 Emmys (photos courtesy of Zimbio)! Who made your list?

Best Dressed: 2016 Grammys

Red carpet season continues with the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. While we’re used to seeing the biggest Hollywood actors and actresses strut their stuff on the red carpet, this is one of the rare times we get to see today’s hottest musicians show off their style. Photos courtesy of Zimbio.

Best New Artist nominee, Tori Kelly, look gorgeous in green! It’s one of her dreams to be at the Grammys and perform and for her first Grammy appearance, she did not disappoint in the one shoulder Gauri and Nainika dress. While her style is usually more edgy, she decided to embody classic Hollywood and I absolutely love it. Her beautiful hair off to the side paired with the natural looking make up helped put together the whole classic look. This look, hands down, was my favorite of the night. Also, I lowkey wished she won. She’s come so far and she stays grounded.torikelly58thgrammyawardsarrivalsv21shtgytoml

Demi Lovato showed us she’s a boss on the red carpet. At first, the look didn’t scream out to me, but seeing her walk the red carpet confidently definitely screamed out at me. You always have to make sure you WEAR the dress and the dress doesn’t wear you. And she WORE that Norisol Ferrari blazer dress. The top half was business and sophisticated, but the bottom half with the long slit made the look sexy and edgier. And while that neckline was really low, that beautiful chain necklace stood out to me. What’s wrong with being confident? Nothing at all, Demi. demilovato58thgrammyawardsarrivals188atum4g0cl

Anna Kendrick showed up to represent Pitch Perfect 2 and introduce the Tori Kelly/James Bay performance. She will always make my best dressed lists and I don’t care what any of you say. She went with a black Emanuel Ungaro dress. She kept it classy up top and showed off some leg. Usually Anna’s at home entertaining the masses live tweeting, so I wonder what she was thinking during the show.annakendrick58thgrammyawardsarrivalskb1mrr93gbhl

Sometimes the Grammys brings out Hollywood’s favorite actors and actresses and CBS’s Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco came to represent. At first, I thought it was a sleek looking dress,  but she decided to stray away from the typical red carpet dress and went with a Naeem Khan jumpsuit. She shined, literally. The backless portion and the little peek a boo triangle in the front is everything.kaleycuoco58thgrammyawardsarrivalshxh82fxqnedl

Let me get straight to the point with Ciara‘s look. This dress was plain, PLAIN SEXY. She wore a halter style dress by Alexandre Vauthier. One side was black and white and cover the whole side, while the other side was black and went all the way down to her hip and exposed her whole left leg. It was a risque choice, but it worked for Ciara. She worked it.ciara58thgrammyawardsarrivalshotgv7bifmgl

It seems a lot of artists walked the red carpet in black dressed and Best New Artist Meghan Trainor was part of that trend. She kept it classy with a Michael Costello gown. I love the sparkles and the long sleeves. And it just fits her perfectly. I almost didn’t recognize her with her new hair color! Honestly, I’m sitting here thinking about why this dress reminds me of another dress I’ve seen, but either way Meghan still looked stunning.

It’s not my best dressed list if there’s no red gown thrown in! Ariana Grande showed up in a red Romona Keveza gown and she was scorching hot! I especially loved the bustier style top of her dress and how it flowed down with her train trailing across the carpet. A part of me kind of wished she rocked a different hairstyle, but I can’t picture this look any other way!arianagrande58thgrammyawardsarrivalsut8zjlf6f4xl

Adele rocked two dresses tonight and she did it confidentally. She started off with a black sequined Givenchy dress which reminded me of her dress from her Grammy premiere in 2012. She looked classy, as always. But my favorite was the red Givenchy dress she wore during her “All I Ask” performance. While I, along with many other Twitter users were wondering what was going on with the audio, I was still admiring the simple, yet beautiful dress.

Album of the Year winner, Taylor Swift, slayed the red carpet. We’ve never seen this Taylor on the red carpet before. First off, she debuted a new hair shorter haircut which I think looks adorable on her! She went off with a bright color block, a coral top and pink skirt. But not only that, it was a two piece Atelier Versace dress. She was daring showing off the midriff and the leg and walked the red carpet like she owned the damn thing. And she definitely owned it.taylorswift58thgrammyawardsarrivalshcrks90jrf5l

And who better to walk the red carpet alongside Taylor than her BFF Selena Gomez. She sparkled and had fun walking the red carpet in a blue Calvin Klein Collection dress. My favorite part was the side slits. But just like Adele, Selena’s other dress was my favorite. I’m not sure why she changed, but I’m glad she did. She decided to tone down on the sparkles and went with a solid red Cushnie et Ochs gown. But she did keep it a bit similar with the front/side slit thing going on.  Some of you may think the dress is so simple and not a standout, but it just looked so beautiful to me. I mean, she doesn’t usually stand out to me on the red carpet, but this red dress absolutely took my breath away.

Now let me shout out to the men who rocked the red carpet.

While all the guys rocked their suit and ties, Big Sean, Sam Hunt and Justin Bieber stood out to me. Big Sean always looks his best on the red carpet and I absolutely love the white blazer. If this doesn’t scream GQ at you, then I don’t know what else will. Sam Hunt didn’t go with the typical black, white or navy suit that we normally see. I’m not sure how to describe this color, so I’ll just go with pink. The color of his suit stood out, but look at how handsome he is. Last but not least, how adorable is it that Justin Bieber brought his little brother on the red carpet with him? He chose to rock a white blazer with black slacks and a black dress shirt. And he chose right. I’m glad he cleaned up for this show. Normally, we see his hair a bit unruly and his clothes a bit casual, but he slicked his hair back and threw on a suit and looked pretty dapper if you ask me. I’m a belieber. Get over it.

Now that the Grammys are over, who were your favorite looks of the night? Let me know!
