Emmy Fashion Madness!

Naturally, on Emmy Sunday I had E! on at 6:00 AM looking for Guiliana Rancic and the Emmy Pre-show. What? It doesn't start until 4:00 PM? Obviously, E! sees the Emmys as 2nd banana to the Oscars. If this were Oscar Sunday, Guiliana would be like Jerry Lewis on day two of the telethon, showing us what Scarlett Johansson would look like if she would only wear that stunning dress from the Dries van Noten Resort 2012 collection. But, it's not Oscar Sunday, so I must wait. Alas.

It's 4:00 PM, the wait is over! The Emmys are at Nokia Live! at LA Live! Nokia Live! and LA Live! must be spelled with !!! always! Because they are Live! It's the perfect place for E!

It's Guiliana, cute Kelly Osbourne, and adorable George Kotsiopoulos who I totally want to eat with a spoon. George is impeccably groomed with a classic, perfectly fitted tux. Major win for George.

Kelly is kicking up the glam in a deep plum mermaid gown with really lovely make up. The hair color reads a bit old on TV, but that's a quibble. She looks like a Hollywood Princess.

Guiliana is in a rather demure orange dress that I don't love. I love her, but don't love the dress. Is that like love the sinner, hate the sin? I bet this dress is breathtaking in person, but the workmanship doesn't really come through on camera.

The three Fashion Police chat for a while about (srsly) what various stars would look like if they just wore that blah blah dress from the blah blah 2012 Resort collection. Can I call it or what?  I watched every second.  Joan isn't there for some reason. What could keep Joan from the red carpet? I miss her.

Now, it's time for the Real Red Carpet show to start and we're faced with Ryan Seacrest as host. Time for a potty break.

I thought it was too early for the stars to show up, but was I ever wrong. Chris Colfer looks sleek and youthful in his tux. Love him.

It's been all of two minutes, and (thankfully) Giuliana has changed out of that orange number into a stunning, Go To Hell Red strapless gown. Love.

Kelly is up on an raised platform with Ross the Intern, who I also love. What a perfect pair. Why don't they have their own sitcom?

Lea Michele is talking about how she "just wanted to be comfy" in her form-fitting red gown. What a load. Gorge dress, though. Easily a contender for best dressed tonight.

Taraji P. Henson's gown is exquisitely beaded. It's another one of those dresses that is probably breathtaking in person but doesn't translate well on camera.

Sarah Hyland is pretty in pink in a Christian Siriano original. It's age-appropriate for a young actress without being little girly.

Jane Lynch looks great in a plum gown. Obviously, deep plum and Go to Hell Red are the colors of the night.

Ariel Winter, who plays the youngest girl on Modern Family, is wearing a dress that is waaaay too grown-up for her. Did she borrow it from Sharon Stone? According to Wikipedia, she's only 15. That's too young for a plunging neckline with her boobs squeezed together. I feel gross just blogging about it.  I am NOT posting a picture.

Paula Abdul is overdone in a black Flamenco costume, God bless her.  It wouldn't be Paula if she didn't look a little crazy.

Naya Rivera looks like a Goddess in black. Another candidate for best dressed.

Ian Somerhalder is handsome, but he looks like he hasn't washed his hair in a week. Yuck. If he threw himself at me right now, I'd say "go take a shower and then we'll talk."

Gwyneth is in a midriff baring ensemble that would totally win at Miss Myrtle Beach.

Amy Poeler looks ridiculous. 2nd worst dressed after Gwynneth. It's a skin-tight iridescent dress that looks like painted-on latex. Maybe she's going to a dungeon after the awards show. That's the only excuse.

Sophia Vergara is VAVAVOOM in (naturally) go to hell red.

Kate Winslett's Go to Hell Red is absolutely beautiful, but way too tight. The boobs look like they're about to pop out.

It's time for the show!
