by First Lady Michelle Obama. Chritina Appelgate, nominated
for her character on Samantha Who, bucked the trends
with a bold midnight blue gown with black beadwork and

2005 Emmy
Awards (57th Annual) Red Carpet Fashion
The 2005 Emmy Awards, held in the Shrine Auditorium at the LA
Coliseum, was filled with starlets glowing in all shades of
color. The current fall fashion color themes were in full force
on the red carpet, including deep medium blues, forest green,
plums and rich chocolate. Also prevalent were seashore tones
in forest green. golds and taupe, ice blue and off-white.
Halle Berry wore a georgeous high low hemline, strapless sweetheart
gown with a cascading chiffon front flounce, which wispered
pale blue under-skirting. Currently filming the 3rd Xmen movie
in Canada, she presented at the Emmy’s and no doubt will return
to the set ASAP. Eva Longoria had no idea that the swimsuit
she wore to the VMA awards would cause such a stir, but she
must have anticipated the interest in her gown choice at this
year’s Emmy’s red carpet as she stole a look from 1960s fashion
in a flirty coral dress by Sanchez replete with a wide collard
Grecian neckline and deep V front.
Debra Messing; a favorite red carpet winner, wore an Elie Saab
dark cholocate evening dress with a sequin bodice and mid-V
back. From the hit show CSI, Marg Helgenberger wore a light
purple lace halter dress with satin waist sash by Monique Lillier,
shoes by Stuart Weitzman and a Fendi evening bag. A favorite
silhouette of the evening was the empire gown shown best on
Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives. She glowed in a midnight
blue strapless gathered empire dress. A Jay Mendal gown made
exclusively for Teri, featured a 2 inch hand beaded sash around
the bustline and flowing chiffon skirt. more soon...

Emmys
Fashion 2003... Many of the stars at the 55th
Emmy's awards show took their style queues from the color palettes
of the New York Spring 2004 fashion shows. The front rows glowed
in evening gowns of sunset hues like fuschia, mango, pinks,
and blues. Creamy neutrals also shined on award nominees Lena
Olin and Jennifer Garner of Alias, both exquisite in ivory and
pale peach satin dresses.
Presenter Jeri Ryan made a dramatic entrance in her revealing
silk charmeuse evening gown of silvery cream with deep v-neck
plunge. Plunging v-neck gowns, popular last year, were back
again along with a new evening trend towards dropped waists.
Dropped waist dresses accented the figures of Christina Applegate,
in a pale blue pleated chiffon formal dress by Valentino, and
Courtney Thorne Smith, in a classic Herve Leger elongated crystal
tiered black dress. Sarah Jessica Parker color-matched with
husband Matthew Broderick's dusty rose tie as she stunned the
Emmy audience in a pink Chanel confection of a ballgown. Ruched
and gathered in chiffon, tulle, and sequins, the gown had a
subdued high/low hemline, showcasing her famous feet.
Debra Messing claimed her Emmy award clad in an Elie Saab evening
ball gown with sweeping back train, Jimmy Choo heels, Cartier
ring, and H. Stern chandelier earrings. Strapless and gathered
at the side, the amber and copper design of the dress perfectly
framed her winning smile. Notable fashion marks for the men
went to winner Jon Stewart's trim black suit and subtly sparkling
black tie and Joe Pantoliano's vest and tie in light blue satin
with white polka dots. Gorgeous gowns and tuxedos abounded,
but this year's fashion focus at the Emmy's was all ears: dripping
chandelier earrings in precious jewels. Best chandelier earring
styles included Debra Messing's triple-tiered pink tourmaline
teardrops and Jane Kaczmarek gold arabesque shoulder dusters.

Formalwear Winter/Spring 2002 New Commitments
bring New Style... Perhaps no formalwear season of the last
30 years is more important to the fashion industry than the
Year 2002 season - designers, retailers, and boutiques anticipate
a surge of special occassion shopping as American consumers
reaffirm their commitment to family, community, and charity
through weddings and events. The New
Fashion Values of 2002 have already influenced formalwear
styles for prom
dresses, bridal
gowns and bridesmaid
dresses, and special
occassion evening gowns.
The first influence is the highlighted bodice; designers this
season are placing more emphasis on fitted shapes with striking
color and embroidery or ornaments. In our cover shot from Macy's
Passport '01, Jessica
McClintock's fairy green, plunging v-neck gown is crisply
molded and matched to the extravagant floral inlay of the skirt.
Also shown is the deep backline and decorative mosaic design
of another Jessica McClintock creation. With the globalization
of fashion trends, simplifying and highlighting the bodice
in formalwear designs broadens the designer's reach across clutural
expectations.
The second influence is the bold feminine shape; designers are
using sheath,
trumpet,
princess,
mermaid,
and a-line
styling to create curvy dresses, many with corseted or structured
undergarments, reasserting the womanly look in this season's
formal line. Gone are the demure straight silhouettes and the
tailored workwear looks of the late 1990s. The post-9/11/01
woman attends her public as a proud yet traditionally sensual
creature.
Which leads to the third influence, the new emphasis on soft,
feminine expression through silk and chiffon
overlays, lace
bordering, and beaded
or rhinestone
hems, lines, and straps. While the 2002 party-goer is simply
elegant with brilliant structural accents, the 2002 bride dons
a flowing gown overlayed with embroidered or appliqued sheath.
Soft satin silk is the fabric of choice, with form-enhancing
embellishments to match the wearer's personality. |
