2009 Primetime Emmy Awards: Best and Worst Red Carpet


The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards --hosted by Neil Patrick Harris Sunday (Sept 20) at the Nokia in Los Angeles, CA. Red Carpet trends: reds, purples, sweeping gowns, and sprinkles of sparkle.


BEST


Samantha Who? star Christina Applegate radiated in this navy gown by Lebanese designer Basil Soda. Sexy and elegant; loved the draped shoulder contrasted with a sheer printed waistline. She wore it with confidence; so beautiful!



Mad Men's January Jones was stunning in a minty strapless Atelier Versace. Corseted art-deco design was beyond next level and showed off her amazing shape. Gunmetal Jimmy Choos sets it off perfectly.



House beauty Olivia Wilde dares to show us why she's #1 on Maxim's Hot 100 list. This lacey pieced pale blue gown by Marchesa was pulled especially for her from their Spring 2010 collection.



Hayden Panettiere was the look of new Hollywood glam in this fiery J. Mendel gown. Asymmetrical shoulder and panels were incredibly flattering while makeup and softly upswept hair were flawless. Hayden's best red carpet look ever!



Loved that Kristen Chenoweth opted for a mini-dress. She brought the glam and shine in this mirrored stunner by Zuhair Murad; absolutely wow!!! The Pushing Daisies actress took home an Emmy for lead actress in a comedy.



Actor Jon Cryer of Two and a Half Men is our best dressed man of the night. Layering a striped cardi with a Mochino suit; so sharp, perfectly geek chic, and true to his character. Love, love!!! Cryer also won an Emmy for best supporting actor in a comedy.


WORST


Top Chef host/judge Padma Lakshmi who can make just about anything look stunning, took a misstep in this purple gown by Badgley Mischka. Red rosettes along hips makes a horrible accent color and placement was completely unflattering.



Longtime Young and the Restless co-star Victoria Rowell displayed her affinity for President Barack Obama in the form of this Emmy dress. Way to make a statement! Now welcome to the worst dressed list!



Gossip Girl Leighton Meester went for Grecian in this Bottega Veneta gown. White is always beautiful on the red carpet. Although, we could have done without the ginormous twisted shoulder knots; just completely overpowered the look.
