Sartorial Roundup: Emmy Awards, 2013

I have to be honest, I didn't even tune in for the Emmy's this year.  I caught a couple of moments, but decided that since nobody from New Girl was even nominated I should just skip it all together.  I'm just not sure I can live in a world where Max Greenfield is not the best supporting actor...apologies, I digress.  A small group of ladies dressed appropriately and interestingly, and I for them I am so grateful.

Kate Mara in J. Mendel, Taylor Schilling in Thakoon, and Kerry Washington in Marchesa

Sandrine Holt in Honor, Rose Byrne in Calvin Klein Collection, the adorable Kiernan Shipka in Delpozo, and Zosia Mamet also in a dress by Honor

 I loved these two floral gowns, age appropriate for Kiernan, and just enough fun and femininity on Zosia.

Sartorial Roundup: 2012 Emmy's

This year's Emmy's have come and gone, and without access to E!'s red carpet coverage I didn't get to see a single gown until the show started.  As usual, there were many a sparkly dress, and as usual I hated most of them, these are the types of dresses I love.  Enjoy the roundup!

Ginnifer Goodwin came looking stunning in a coral gown by Monique Lhullier.

 Leslie Mann looked amazing in Naeem Khan.

 Julianne Moore STUNNED in a lemon hued Dior Couture gown.  I am so in love with this look.

 For the first time in recent memory, Julianna Marguiles, wore something other than Narciso Rodriguez, and it worked for her.  Giambattista Valli jacquard looks lovely on you, J.  

 Tina finally redeemed herself after many past red carpets gone awry.  On Sunday she looked wonderful in Vivienne Westwood.  

 When I first saw this photo I had no idea who the girl was, but the dress hooked me.  Emilia Clarke of Game of Thrones chose a very different, very cool Chanel.  

Last but not least, the adorable and hilarious, Zooey Deschanel, looked lovely in an ethereal Reem Acra dress that some described as a Cinderella moment.  The unfinished edges are what got me really excited, there's nothing better than a slightly imperfect gown.  

What were your faves of the night?

Sartorial Compass: Drew Barrymore, Grey Gardens

I have always been a fan of Drew Barrymore (at least ever since Fever Pitch), but I re-fell in love with her when I saw Grey Gardens, the HBO movie about Jackie Kennedy's Aunt and Cousin, Big Edie & Little Edie.  If you haven't seen the film yet I highly recommend it.  It tells the story of their once glamorous life that due to paranoia of the outside world, became one of seclusion and squalor.  Pictured below are Drew and Jessica Lange in character.

During her promotional duties and award show appearances Drew got in touch with her retro glamour side and absolutely stunned on red carpets.

 In Alberta Ferretti for a New York premiere.

 Andrew Gn for Los Angeles, such a great 60's vibe on this look.

She was nominated for an Emmy, and won the Golden Globe and SAG awards for Grey Gardens and absolutely stunned on the red carpets.

In line with tradition she presented the Golden Globe the following year, this dress was far from being well received by critics, but I thought the details were beautiful and unique.  

It seems that Drew took a cue from her character, and dared to be different.  The Holiday's are the perfect time for that, so don't be afraid to take a risk and get a little bit glamorous this year.
