Emmy Awards 2013: Who Hit and Who Missed on the Red Carpet?

Hello and welcome to my fashion blog! As technology is changing more drastically than ever, social media continues to be on the rise. With that said, more people are doing their shopping online instead of driving to the mall, reading the daily news online instead of opening up the newspaper, and even working online instead of doing hand-written work or having in-person meetings. This is all occurring due to the interactive social system that is now called Web 2.0. 

Without the convenience of the Internet or television, we would not be able to keep up with the latest fashion successes as well as the total fashion "no-no's" of celebrities. Awards from Outstanding Drama Series to Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama were given out at the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Show last Sunday night. But the real question is, which female stars killed the look on the red carpet and which ones didn't quite make the cut? Stars such as Maria Menounos, Giuliana Rancic, Sofia Vergar, and Rose Byrne had all eyes on them while strutting their stuff down the red carpet. On the other hand, Lena Dunham, Anna Farris, and Connie Britton were by no means close to winning fashionista of the Emmy Awards.

TV host, Maria Menounos, looked stunning in a midnight blue strapless gown --though, her trendy statement necklace seemed to be the touch that finalized the outfit. Statement necklaces have been a popular trend in women's fashion within the past year. If you want to stay within the trend this Fall, the website listed below has fabulous statement necklaces that have the potential to perk up any outfit.

E! News and Fashion Police star Giuliana Rancic showed up to the red carpet wearing an embellished periwinkle gown. This Mikael D dress fit her slim body frame flawlessly, which added her to the top of my list for best-dressed.

Obviously, we all know where everyone's eyes were at when actress Sophia Vergara made her stroll down the red carpet. Star of the hit TV show Modern Family appeared as a total bombshell in this dazzling red Vera Wang gown as it showed off her enviable curves to perfection.

Australian actress, Rose Byrne, was a complete "hit" in her Calvin Klein ensemble at the 2013 Emmy Awards. This outfit gives off an elegant example of the infamous "crop top" look, which is another current trend in women's fashion as we speak. 2013 was the summer of the crop top, but the crop top trend of the 80s and 90s appears to be much more sophisticated this time around. This trend can be very difficult to get right, but Rose Bryne sure pulled it off. The website listed below has some of the summer's most trendy crop tops. Check it out if that is the look for you!

Actress Lena Dunham took this Prada gown to a whole new level at the 65th Annual Emmy Awards. This dress would fail to even make a table cloth look good. Definitely a "miss" of the night for Lena Dunham.

Anna Faris' Monique Lhuillier gown sure did a good job of brightening up the red carpet last Sunday night. While the dress fabulously showed off Anna's superb body, the bright yellow was more of a fashion blunder.

Stunning American actress, Connie Britton, drew in the wrong kind of notice at the 2013 Emmy Awards. The velvety fabric did no justice to Connie's already perfect physique. This fashion no-no landed her as one of the worst-dressed of the night.
