2010 Primetime Emmys – BEST DRESSED

The Fashion Cult — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:18:08 +0000

The 62nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards took place in Los Angeles last evening, with the standard red carpet fare preceeding the awards. Their wasn’t a lot of “wow” to be seen during arrivals this year. On the other hand perhaps the Cult is simply growing bored with the predictably polished celebrity style circus that is your average red carpet.

There was good deal of black on the red carpet this year – almost enough to call it a trend, if it weren’t such a safe color choice. Standouts in the black dress brigade include Kelly Osbourne in a gorgeous gown by Tony Ward. Cult favorites, however, bucked the quasi-trend and opted for cool, dusty pastels. AMC’s “Mad Men” won the highly-coveted Best Drama award and two of it’s actresses were among the best dressed – stellar odds for such a small batch of Cult picks.

Christina Hendricks (pictured left) was unapologetically curvy in lavender gown by Zac Posen. The actress, who has in recent years been labeled a “big girls,” put her big girls on display and showed off a tiny waist. Such is often the dilemma for women with mega mammaries: either hide your chest and make your whole upper body look large, or show that you do have a waist and force your breast to be front and center of attention. It’s a catch 22, as in either case someone will snear at your appearance. Kudos, Christina! You are sexy and elegant.

Golden Globes 2010: Best Dressed

The 2010 Golden Globe Awards took place in Los Angeles Sunday and, despite rainy weather, the red carpet fashion was spectacular. It was a tough one from which to choose a best-dressed list, as so many celebs brought on the stellar style for the first big event of the 2010 awards season. Couples looked especially good on the red carpet, with stars like Seal, Josh Duhamel, and David Arquette proving that a man in a sharp tux can be one of a woman’s best accessories. And in a show of support for earthquake victims in Haiti, many attendees wore red, blue and yellow ribbons pinned to their garb – even when the colors of the Haitian flag didn’t quite complement their outfit. See the Cult’s best dressed below, with a gallery of the numerous honorable mentions following.
