Emmy's 2010: Red Carpet Special

In Monday's post, I officially declared it "red week", and so the Emmy's Red Carpet couldn't have come at a better time!

The 62nd Emmy award ceremony for Primetime was this past Sunday, and there was a fair share of stunning dresses and some total disasters. Other than the fact that it's just fun to look at the pictures, we can learn a few things from the trends on the red carpet. You will be amazed at how well they relate to what's going on trend-wise at our level. I will try to work in an extra post for each big awards show as we go along. Not only do I love seeing the gowns and jewelry, but I love showing you how to apply it to your everyday outfits!

LACE



Sound familiar? Well, if it doesn't, get your head in the game! This has been a really strong trend from spring that is pushing its way right through fall! The red carpet is no exception! We have some gorgeous little lace pumps on order from Mojo Moxy...coming soon!

Nina Dobrev in Zuhair Murad & Chopard Diamonds
30 Rock's Tina Fey in Oscar de la Renta & Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry

(And...of course many of these dresses are hot off the runway! Click on the links to see runway shots.)

SEQUINS



Who doesn't love sequins? These ladies definitely got it right. Claire Danes is decked out in Swarovski crystal beads. She also won Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for her role in Temple Grandin. Go Claire! The one shoulder gown could not look more perfect on Jennifer Carpenter and the mixture of golds on Heather Morris is absolutely stunning!

Dexter's Jennifer Carpenter in Oday Shakar & Brian Atwood heels

As you surely know, we are not lacking in sequins at all here at Solemates either! So I give you Exhibit A...Mistletoe Kisses from Poetic Licence. Fabulous!

STATEMENT NECKLACES


This is also nothing new. The large bib necklaces have been around for a while now. Of course, the average girl doesn't have this kind of bling. Just admire the beauty! (If you click on the picture, it will make it larger and clearer.) Lea Michele wasn't the winning nominee for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, but she did snatch approval from E!'s Fashion Police by winning Best Dressed!

Project Runway's Heidi Klum in Lorraine Schwartz diamond & ruby necklace valued at $3 million
Dexter's Julie Benz in Pamella Rowland & diamond bib necklace


Check out Forsythe's/Kristen Todd's amazing jewelry selection next door! There are plenty of statement necklaces for everyone.

SCARLET FEVER



It seems like everyone's got it! Red is everywhere--even on the red carpet! Imagine that!

The Office's Jenna Fischer in vintage Versace
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart correspondent Olivia Munn in Zac Posen


We've caught the scarlet fever, too! Check out this little boot from VANELi!

GRECIAN



Grecian styles are all about the drape and hang of the fabric. These gowns are just gorgeous! You can easily incorporate this into your wardrobe. Imagine a flowy, draped top with some skinny jeans or leggings with a bold, over the knee boot...See it?? Amazing! Amber Riley could not have picked a better dress for her shape and size. She is perfect!

Kim Kardashian in Marchesa & Lorraine Schwartz Jewels
Damages's Rose Byrne in Gucci


NAVY



Navy is such a classy shade! It is an extremely versatile color as well. We have some incredible navy boots on order! We can't wait for you to see them!

Glee's Jayma Mays in Burberry Prorsum & Neil Lane Jewels
Glee's Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta
30 Rock's Jane Krakowski in Escada


It looks like Glee's cast was right on key when it came to their red carpet attire! They are represented in almost every category!

Come back Thursday for our shoe of week!
