Who Turned Heads At Emmys?
(CBS/AP)
Many people tuned into the 57th Emmy Awards, not just to see who won, but to check out the red carpet fashions.
So The Early Show invited style expert David Evangelista and Glamour magazine's executive fashion editor-at-large Suze Yalof Schwartz to share their thoughts about who the red-carpet winners were.
Here are some of the trends they noticed:
Strapless dresses - Strapless dresses were everywhere. Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross and Nicollette Sheridan could become known as the "strapless housewives" after Sunday night.
Other stars who went strapless were Jennifer Garner, who showed off her pregnant shape in a black gown by Badgley Mischka with a jewel right at the bust; Patricia Heaton chose a black strapless gown, featuring three tiers of pleating and delicate knotted bows by Monique Lhuillier; and Halle Berry was in a simple draped purple gown, hoop earrings and sleek ponytail.
Black - Wearing black was also prevalent. Among those who wore it were Jennifer Garner, Glenn Close, and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Close wore a sweetheart-neck black gown by Giorgio Armani and looked tanner and blonder than usual. Close said that after so many years in Hollywood she still feels pressure to get all dressed up for the red carpet, "especially when we've been in our jammies and flip-flops all year."
Love Hewitt topped off her retro look - a black strapless ruffled Dolce & Gabbana cocktail dress with Harry Winston star-shaped earrings - with a beehive hairdo.
The color orange/coral/red family - These colors stood out in the sea of black and browns. Among those who wore them were Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, and Lauren Graham of "Gilmore Girls."
Graham said she based her her gown choice first on color. Then comes style, and her last concern is comfort. "It's a day to be uncomfortable," Graham told E!'s Star Jones Reynolds. "You want to feel like you're wearing something special, and I do." Graham ended up in a red silk chiffon slip gown with cascading ruffles down the back. It was straight from the runway of Pamella Roland's spring fashion show at New York Fashion Week. And Mariska Hargitay of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" chose an orange gown by Carolina Herrera.
Romantic Hair Look - Forget the stiff, structured hair dos. Instead, curly, messy updos or long, wavy hair made finished this season's look.
Defined Makeup - Gone are the days of "natural" look. Scwartz found it refreshing, saying, "It looks like women are actually getting ready to go out. Instead of the bare, natural look." Makeup looked more defined. Among those who had this look were Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, Portia Di Rossi, Marcia Cross and Debra Messing.
"This is our last season, and I wanted to feel like a queen," Messing told The Associated Press. She wore a bronze gown by Elie Saab with a subtle magenta floral print on the sweeping skirt and beads on the illusion fabric around her neck.
Knee Length - Not a trend but at least three celebrities wore an interesting hemline. Charlize Theron wore a black Chanel embroidered dress, which had a bit of a flapper touch. "Sideways" star Sandra Oh wore a Nina Ricci dress, and Kyra Sedgwick was in a nude-colored tulle empire waist strapless dress.
