Being the fashionista that I am, I am not opposed to the fact that award shows are not actually about who wins the awards but about the wonderful clothes the nominees are wearing!

So who's outfits were your favorites at the Emmys this year?

My personal and completely biased opinion was that Anna Paquin's Alexander McQueen gown was pure genius. Paquin stole the show completely. Not only did she honor the late designer, but chose something that represented her as a super sophisticated and strong woman.

As a die hard True Blood fan, I love everything that has do to with it (no matter how cheesy) I also enjoyed her choice of black...where the rest of the women chose soft feminine colors. I'm curious however if you think it hints towards her love for the dark vampire side?

Above, the ravishing and curvacious Christina Hendricks from Mad Men is wearing Zac Posen, with a Leiber clutch. Next to her Kyra Sedgwick in Monique Lhuillier, with a VBH clutch brings berry inspired colors out into the open for fall.

Here Emily Deschanel, in a tiered grape colored Max Azria Atelier gown topped off with Neil Lane jewels looks sweet while still commanding attention. Next to her, above, is the petite Nina Dobrev in a sparkling champagne one shoulder dress by Zuhair Murad that she paired with Brian Atwood shoes and Chopard jewels.

From the Runway to the Red Carpet!

New York Fashion Week Fall 2010 has begun!

During this week, Bryant Park transforms into a sea of white tents, and the fashion industry gathers to await this season's runway shows. Designers from all around the world come to show off their latest collections.

So far, Monique Lhuillier's Asian-warrior inspired collection is, without a doubt, my favorite collection. As in all of Lhuillier's collections, there were a handful of beautiful evening gowns, and the two below were my favorites. These elegant, form fitting, strapless gowns would look amazing on any Hollywood actress walking the red carpet at the Oscars. I love how both of these gowns have rosettes that taper down the base of each dress.
