All I have to say is that these ladies better bring it to the Oscars next month! Now, don't get me wrong, there was plenty of glamour on the red carpet and A-listers like Emma Stone continued to push the fashion envelope, but overall, everyone played it safe to the SAG Awards. There was a whole lot of pretty, and that's a not a bad thing. My (usual) faves - Lupita, Julianne, Emma were, of course, gorgeous. I don't know about you, but I am ready for red carpet show-stoppers. And to gratify the guilty pleasure - a few train wrecks - there I said it. (I know you were thinking it!)

Elie Saab Couture Fall 2014

Such beauty from Elie Saab. While he is a master of elegance and sophistication, this season, it appears that Saab ramped up the glam even higher. As if that were even possible. This is an exquisite collection. A-list Hollywooders [or their stylists] will be fighting over these gowns next red-carpet season. There were plenty of short dresses too. They were as beautiful as the gowns.

ATELIER VERSACE SPRING 2014

Donatella Versace pulled up to the bumper baby and channelled Grace Jones for Spring 2014. The 70's disco retro-vibe couture collection offered a skillful balance between form-fitted silhouettes and draping. Sexy, glass-beaded, crystal-covered, red carpet dresses in very bright colors owned the runway. I can see Donatella wearing it all!

Emmys 2012 Red Carpet Fashion

I think it's fair to say that the 2012

Emmy Awards

had no significant hits or misses on the red carpet, though, as always, some do it better than others. Here are my Emmy favs and my "needs improvement."

View photos:

[caption id="attachment_17104" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Julianna Margulies ~ GIAMBATTISTA VALLI ~ On trend with florals, Julianna looked very chic. I love a gown with pockets, btw!"]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17105" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Claire Danes ~ LANVIN ~ I'll be kind because she's pregnant and showing, plus I love Lanvin. BUT this was not the most flattering dress. She also could have used a large cuff."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17106" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman ~ ANTONIO BERADI ~ Nicole always hits it on the mark for me. She knows her body and knows how to dress it. Keith, your shirt sleeves are too long."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17107" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Hayden Panettiere ~ MARCHESA ~ A stunning gown. Hayden looks beautiful though the gown is a little "senior" for her. That doesn't bother me too much. However, I would have liked to get a peek at her shoes, so maybe raise the hem about an inch or two??"]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17108" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Zooey Deschanel ~ REEM ACRA ~ Gorgeous dress but not on her! This is a case where the dress is wearing the person. Zooey can't or doesn't know/have what it takes to handle that style of a dress. It's wearing her. AND to make matters worse - that's hairstyle doesn't work. Too much bang, too forced. "]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17109" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Julianne Moore ~ DIOR ~ She's been criticized for this look BUT not by me. I love the yellow and the style. It's a new approach for Dior Couture and Julianne is wearing it right. I love the diamond bracelet too."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17110" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Johnny Galecki ~ Everything is right except for the ill-fitted trouser. They should have been slimmer and they have too much break. The blazer, I'd wear in a NY minute!!"]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17111" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="January Jones ~ ZAC POSEN ~ This dress proves why January is always a red carpet favorite. She's perfect from head-to-toe."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17112" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Kevin Costner ~ Oh Kevin, only Tom Ford can pull this off. Put a tie on!!!"]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17113" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Emily VanCamp ~ J. MENDEL ~ So beautiful and flowy. This is the more youthful, yet sophisticated look that Hayden Panettiere should have done."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17114" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Zosia Mamet ~ BIBHU MOHAPATRA ~ Its modern and edgy. Perhaps the reasons why Zosia is making the worst dressed list, BUT not here! "]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17115" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Lucy Liu ~ VERSACE ~ It wasn't sequin. It's metal! Fabulous (and heavy she said)."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17116" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Giuliana Rancic ~ ROMONA KEVEZA ~ The Fashion Police co-star did it right. She better or Joan would let her have it."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17117" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Edie Falco ~ STELLA McCARTNEY ~ I love the edgy style of the dress. I love that its more about design and being modern rather that "pretty" "flowy" blah blah blah. The one thing, just a minor one... the gold metallic belt gives a funny visual perception to the waist."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17118" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Lena Dunham ~ PRADA ~ I'm on the fence here. I feel it's too much dress, though I like the juxtaposition of the short short hair with the matronly gown. Lena's slouchy posture is a part of the problem."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17119" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Carson Daly ~ Did Carson rent his tux? Its too boxy, the sleeves are too long and the tie too loose."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17120" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Adam Driver ~ I'm a fan of HBO's Girls where Adam is almost always naked. Well, he looks good with clothes on too as you can see. The only tiny improvement would be to raise the jacket sleeve up to the wrist so the white shirt cuff can peek through."]

[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_17121" align="aligncenter" width="478" caption="Elisabeth Moss ~ DOLCE & GABBANA ~ Again, on trend with florals which, in this case, reinterpret old Hollywood style. I think Elisabeth looks great."]

MARCHESA

If you're a fan of Project Runway (as I am) and you never miss an episode (like me) then you recently saw

Georgina Chapman

as a judge on the show. Georgina and

Keren Craig

are

Marchesa

. They are both elegant and sophisticated women who design elegant and sophisticated collections season after season.

These British designers, who've made New York their home, have delivered the most magnificent and mesmerizing collection of evening wear for Spring 2011.

Every piece of lace, silk, chiffon and satin has been exquisitely draped, hand-painted and bejeweled for a dramatic yet classic silhouette. The dresses exude vintage glamor and grace. They command the Red Carpet so don't be too surprised to see some of Hollywood's A-list femmes in Marchesa.

Enjoy this breathtaking collection as much as I have:

Go ahead, scroll back up for a second look. Or come back later. They're worth it. Thank you Marchesa for such beauty!
