Emmy fashion blogging

It's a plethora of pretty fashions tonight at the Emmy Awards. The Emmys are generally my least favorite awards show, but I always tune in for a little while so that my girly self can check out the gowns. I have to say, it's a nicer crop of frocks than I was expecting. I get tired of all the women who err on the side of black, but Allison Janney is resplendent in red; Heidi Klum is radiant in an orange-red gown cut perfectly for her gorgeously pregnant body; Jamie Pressly is wearing a chic 1940's style gown in an elegant plum. Tina Fey is wearing black, but I adore her; she was the best thing to happen to Saturday Night Live since Will Ferrell, and I can't wait to see her new show, 30 Rock. Girlfriend can do no wrong. Besides, her dress has mesh and beading in just the right places. Love her. Also, I pray to the Goddess every night that one day I will be half as fabulous as The Great Helen Mirren.

This gown, however, is my personal favorite:
Wow. Just, wow. Could Julia Louis-Dreyfus look any more classy? This dress makes her figure look flawless; even though it's white, it doesn't add any bulk. The black accents give the dress a modern-Grecian feel. The simple hair and glamourpuss makeup compliment it perfectly.

And now, for the disappointment of the evening:
Ellen Pompeo in a crushed velvet nightmare. If Darth Vader were a drag queen who staged a variety show at Fubar in West Hollywood, this is what (s)he'd wear. Ellen, what's with the severely pulled back hair? Is this the hairstyle of choice for actresses who didn't have time to get their pre-show Botox injections?

Now that, dear readers, is freaky.
