Best in Emmy Fashion: Desperate Housewives
Last night the red carpet swirled with canary yellows,  beaded nudes, deep reds and eggplant purples at the 60th Annual Emmy Awards. Our favorite television stars kept it glamorously simple;  shabby chic is so over.  Oprah's fitted wine gown was stunning. Who designed that?  We also liked Vanessa L. Williams' one-shoulder Kevan Hall  and Julie Louis-Dreyfus' salmon Narcisco Rodriguez was demure. Chandra Wilson's black Tadashi Shoji was oh so figure flattering.

However, we were most impressed with the look of the Desperate Housewives. Together they were a picture of classic looks with a contemporary spin. Eva Longoria Parker's bowed, crystal white, tiered Marchesa frock said shimmy with me!  Felicity Huffman surprised us with a new severe bob and looked wonderful in a nude sleeveless gown by Reem Acra that clung well to her toned body. Great fit! And even better jeweled! Nicollette Sheridan and Teri Hatcher went strapless. But Sheridan's Angel Sanchez was classic, while Hatcher's tiered, yellow ruffled number was all sunshine, baby. And of course,  Marcia Cross' blush Eli Saab with appliqued flowers was  classic princess and absolutely Bree-like.

What was your favorite outfit last night?

Marcia C's dress was a bit to prima ballerina for me. I thought Felicity looked lovely, and the yellow on Teri was fabulous (sorry Mariska Hargitay, you lost). I wasn't in love with Eva's dress, but I have a feeling that it was hard to read on TV. I think it's actually blue. I did like Julia L-D's dress. The color was fabulous!

I wasn't in love with Eva's dress either -- but loved her hair and makeup. I agree that Vanessa Williams' dress was great. Lots of one shoulder numbers. And I give Brooke Shield credit for going with bright pink. Not too many people can pull that off!

About Elizabeth Wellington
I’m a Libra so I’m all about pretty things. We of the scales sign know what we like, and our standards are high. So I can’t help but love fashion – one day I will get that Diane von Furstenberg wrap and those Christian Louboutin shoes. And fragrances? My favorite right now is Chanel Mademoiselle. As for makeup, can we say MAC? So let’s thank the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that a true fashionista can find everything she needs right here in Philly. I’ve covered fashion here for six years, and I have traveled to New York, Los Angeles and Paris to write about local and national designers. Let me tell you, there is no place where people wear midnight Eagles green or Phillies red with such wild abandon as they do on the west side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Sound familiar? This blog is for you.
