Emilia Clarke
Many claimed Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke’s Atelier Versace dress was simply boring and aging. Actually, the nude, chainmail material of the dress reflected a youthful radiance that created freshness. The look also gave the actress a nice shape due to the cinched waist and elegant draping along the neckline, rather than aging her.
Lauren Carmicheal
Yes, this look by designer Delpozo was possible the most criticized look on the red carpet from this Emmys. Aside from what the media had to say about the silhouette of this dress, it actually flattered her rather petite body shape due to the contrast in materials/colors form the top and skirt. The structured, tulip top creates attention to the bust. While the warm taupe colored, light skirt creates a sense of elegance. This look established interest in a beautiful way, which made her stand out in a good way.
Sarah Pauson
Many argue that “the dress wears Sarah and Sarah doesn’t wear the dress.” Although, the dress is “heavy” she balances it nicely, by sticking with minimal jewelry and neutral makeup. Prada is known for its attention to detail and sophisticated charm, which is apparent in this look. The introget beading and sequins throughout the dress is luxurious without looking pushing over-the-top.
Mandy Moore
One critic claimed Moore’s Prabal Gurung dress represented Big Bird. The only thing in this look similar to Big Bird is the spicy mustard color, which is claimed to be one of the fall 2016 color trends. Another high-fashion trend this dress follows is ruffles, which have been spotted on runways including Chloe, Gucci and Balmain. Not only is this look fashion forwardly bold, but it also has a daintiness about it.
