This was definitely a year of obvious trends. Can we say One Shoulder? With the exception of the love it/mostly hated January Jones Versace Atelier dress, last night featured many lovely style choices.
Looks we loved:
Arguably the best of the night, Claire Danes wearing Armani Privé pink arched strapless dress completely beaded. She accented it all with a very large diamond pave ring. Overall the look was soft and regal with the exception of her powerplant spray tan glow.
Jane Lynch's purple taffeta one shoulder form fitting dress by Ali Rahimi with a small brooch accent from her sister in law. This look was different for her in the fit, since she has been seen wearing similar jewel tones but with larger more princess style skirts. Last night's choice was still in her wheelhouse and she looked terrific.
Ty Burell from Modern Family in a PeeWee Herman inspired gray flannel suit. Bow tie included. It was a fashion risk and some fashion purists will hate it but the look was fitting for the character he plays and made us laugh so we loved it. However the brown shoes left much to be desired.
Jesse Tyler Furgeson should give his co-star pointers on the shoes because his own uniquely different choice rocked.
Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta navy blue strapless dress. Great hair and love the dark nails. the wraparound ruffles at the bottom of the skirt was a great accent. She was one of the few who wore major jewelry pieces with a statement bib collar necklace and large cuff.
Keri Russell in a bright pink vintage Jean Louis Sherrer dress that was very Marilyn Monroe-esque.
Sofia Vergara in a soft yellow with gold detailing from the Carolina Herrara Resort 2010 collection accented with her pronounciation of Herrrara.
Kim Kardashion in white Marchesa gown with white and gold egyptian style beaded halter neckline with a long forearm cuff.
Jayma Mays in a staple navy blue strapless Burberry Prorsum with vintage style gold Neil Lane necklace and beaded bracelets.
Not so much love:
Tina Fey in a black beaded over satin Oscar de la Renta form fitting dress. There wasn't a lot of bling on the carpet, yet we would have liked the ensemble a little better without her choice of drop earrings.
Kate Gosselin. She just shouldn't be there.
January Jones in that bright electric blue very constructed Versace Atelier. We give her PR team credit. This choice got everyone talking, but more in the any press is good press approach. She wore the same designer last year but that choice was a positive showstopper. This year's dress is definitely made for show, but perhaps not for actual wearable reality. Given that, she did not seem to care about anything else. The bedhead was not appropiate and you just don't wear black shoes with such a dress. It was an odd ensemble.
Christina Hendricks. We love her dearly. She's been doing for curvy women what Crystal Renn has been claiming to do, but her Zac Posen dress was a miss. Lavender is not her color and no one should wear ostrich feathers.
Jewel in a pink bejeweled tiered dress with a sweetheart neckline by Zuhair Murad. We are not a fan of pink nor were we fans of those large drop earrings that looked like a kindergartener made them during arts & crafts.
Of all the jewelry trends that were on display, large drop earrings and cuffs were definitely in. Pics soon to follow. In the meantime, do you agree on our list?
