But let’s be honest, what’s more important is the Red Carpet Arrivals. It’s no Academy Awards but we were graced with plenty of elegant dresses that were designed by Oscar de la Renta, Elie Saab, Marchesa, Peter Som, and Emilio Pucci to name a few.

To my surprise, a lot of actresses showed up in solid colors in black, blue, green, purple and red – all looking stunning as ever. I was glad to see a handful of simple and classic gowns this year… it’s about time we give beading, embroidery, and complicated prints a little break (until the next academy awards in 2012). The trend at 2011 Emmy Awards was all about simple lines and Minimalism. Didn’t you know, Less Is More!? So if you are one who prefers simplicity when it comes to fashion, the red carpet had it covered.

Obviously, the color red was the most popular… but I thought the other colors popped up more on the red carpet. What do you think?

Read More »]]> As “Highway to Hell” blasted through the speakers, so did Anna Francesca’s Spring 2012 collection which was titled “Lucifer.” The show began with a cut-out red and black ensemble with giant angel wings, being escorted by a black caped grim reaper character. Needless to say, it set the tone of edginess, a unique heaven vs. hell runway show.

The next outfit to appear was a soft feathery V-cut dress with a pretty pink waistline. Lace, ruffles, chains, corsetry, shimmer and shine— Francesca used many materials and shapes for her collection which kept the audience on their toes. What was going to walk down the runway next? Many conversational prints embodied the menswear jackets and shirts, while the women’s line presented voluminous skirts and dresses.
