So I was watching Extra! on TV last night and saw some red carpet footage with Katherine Heigl at the Emmys.

Two interesting facts:

1. This dress is white denim!! Denim! You go, Zac Posen!

2.  I’ve always heard that Katherine doesn’t work with a stylist, and chooses her red carpet stuff herself. Well - It’s certainly not true anymore. She thanked “my stylist, Nicole” in a mock thank-you speech, so I guess she does in fact have a stylist.

That is all. Have to blog about Gossip Girl now.

Wow - Some of my favorites made end of the evening appearances at the HBO Emmy party. Check out these cuties:

This is far from a great picture of someone who I believe to be one of the most beautiful women on earth, Emmanuelle Chriqui (otherwise known as “Sloan” from Entourage). This dress is so understated-cool. I’m praying for a Sloan comeback in the next season, because Emmanuelle is hot and awesome!

While we’re talking Entourage, check out pregnant Dana Gordon! Woah! The actress is Constance Zimmer, and she is a beautiful pregnant lady. Another awesome red dress!

Ginnifer Goodwin is also cute in red - but why so sad? Hopefully she and Chris Klein are still doing well, and proving that Katie Holmes is easily replaceable by a newer, more interesting model. I watched “Big Love” the other day, and Ginnifer just lights up the screen in all her scenes. I totally love her.

And here are the guys from “Flight of the Conchords,” which is the funniest show on HBO right now. I can’t decide which one I like best - I always pick one and then realize that the other one is even better. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at this party!!!

A large part of this is posing (which America Ferrara has to learn to do better), but I found this electric blue ruched dress to be totally unflattering. And what’s with the belt? Is it made of tortoise shell? Feathers? Regardless, this look does not impress me.

I’m not even going to show all of Teri Hatcher’s dress because it looks like a slutty mother of the bride dress from David’s Bridal. This is horrible! The color, the straps, the sequins, the push up bra… everything. And don’t even get me STARTED on those optical illusion mobile earrings.

I think this woman from Grey’s Anatomy is named Sara Ramirez, and she usually dresses so well. I love how she looks in those new Got Milk? advertisements. Too bad she picked pepto-bismol pink chiffon for the Emmys. And I’m a bit concerned that she has a peep-hole cut-out on her left hip there. What do you think? Is that skin showing through or just more fabric? Either way, it’s got to go!

pfeiffer.jpg

Now, I think Michelle Pfeiffer is absolutely gorgeous and so this hairdo is particularly sad. I don’t know why, but here she looks just messy. Like she forgot to brush her hair this week, threw on a pair of black suspenders and hitched a ride to the red carpet.

spelling.jpg

Yuck. Tori Spelling’s afterparty dress looks like a trashy dress from Forever 21. Check out her black nail polish! And what’s with her shiny face? Is this the Tori Spelling wax statue from Madame Tussaud’s???

abdul.jpg

Worst of all is Paula Abdul. I guess she gets to go to the Emmys because of American Idol??? Anyhow, this dress looks like a wardrobe malfunction. If she’s smart, she’ll say it was.

heigl.jpg

First of all, I will say that there was a CLEAR winner of the night and it was Katherine Heigl. This dress fit her wonderfully, and she looked great on the red carpet, onstage and at the afterparties. White is normally not my favorite red carpet choice, so it’s even cooler that she looked so great. Though I personally find her surprisingly un-photogenic, she really looked amazing. Way to go!

larter.jpg

Ali Larter looked great - This red dress was hot on her, and I loved her simple makeup and diamond earrings. Red Satin + Blonde + Diamonds = It Just Works!

bell.jpg

The blondes just kept getting it right! Kristen Bell looked lovely and I am really impressed that she decided not to mess this up with a necklace. I love this color on her and the grecian drapey look is really young and fun with her messy hairstyle. Beautiful!

panettiere.jpgpanettiereclose.jpg

I’m gonna fight for this one til the cows come home… A lot of people hated Hayden Panettiere’s voluminous peach gown, but I really liked it and appreciated something new on the red carpet. It’s also just an exquisite work of fashion, as you can see in the close-up afterparty shot. Look at the bodice and the brooch in the center. Look at the braided straps. Most of all, look at how perfectly Hayden’s skin, hair and makeup all look with this color. She’s young, she’s fun and she can afford to wear something exciting! If you really hated it, then you can check out what she changed into for the other afterparties, which is pretty darn cute:postpartypanettiere.jpg

pressly.jpgpresslyclose.jpg

While I’m sticking my neck out, I might as well go whole hog and say that I also loved Jaimie Pressly’s drapey black and silver number. She just had a baby, tried to go for something more mature, and I think it looks fantastic. It’s not super form-fitting, but it looked great onstage when she claimed her Emmy. Also her star dangly earrings were really cool and her makeup made her eyes glitter.christina.jpg

Even though Christina Aguilera’s number with Tony Bennett was yawnsville, I really liked this hot pink maternity gown she wore. That is one HOT pregnant lady! And I usually hate hot pink, but somehow it looks nice on Christina here. I’d lose the dyeables, but otherwise a great ensemble.

falco.jpg

I loved this floral embroidered tank dress that Edie Falco wore. A lot of people thought it was bland, but those people forget how hard it is to dress your age when you are an older woman actress. They always get slammed for trying to show too much skin, and here is Edie Falco looking classy, attractive and happy. I really liked it and thought it fit her style perfectly.

sigler.jpgsiglermakeup.jpg

Jamie Lynn Sigler’s dermatologist should get a medal. While the dress is cool, and I definitely think she deserves a spot on the “Best Dressed” list, so much of her look is based around her incredible, glowing skin. Seriously - LOOK AT HER SKIN. She is radiant!

crossearrings.jpg

I didn’t love Marcia Cross’ low-cut dress, but I thought these gigantic turquoise earrings looked so nice with her red hair. And they really stood out in all the Desperate Housewives group shots, so kudos to her. If you’re only going to get a quarter of the frame, you might as well wear big jewelry.

field.jpg

Sally Field looked adorable! I can’t find any pictures of her NOT on the red carpet, which is unfortunate since she clashes so terribly here. But this dress was simple and she looked so nice in it. A really great look for her.

parker.jpg

Last but not least, Mary Louise Parker. She looks so good in red! Between her and Ali Larter, everyone else in red faded into the background. I don’t really love this dress, but on her it totally works and she looks so good.
