I have to be honest, I’m not a fan of this look. The hair doesn’t fit with the style of the dress and the combination of red lips, red nails and a red bag seem like too much for me. This is a case of black, white and pops of red not working. I think Eva La Rue is a beautiful woman and I love that she was able to break out of daytime into primetime but I’ve seen her look better.

Could Kate Walsh be any more stunning? Ok so the hair is a little odd and some may find the scarlet dress, nails and lips a bit too matchy matchy but the woman is gorgeous. Now that I’m over my imaginary feud with her character for breaking up Derek and Meredith, I am completely smitten with Addison Montgomery and dread watching Grey’s without her. Not that I don’t want Private Practice to succeed but I’d much rather see her at Seattle Grace. My Tivo would certainly thank me for the extra space.

Has Christina Aguilera admitted to being preggers yet? Try as she might, she can’t deny it much longer. Regardless, she killed in black and white. Very Gwen Stefani/Old Hollywood. Like Katherine Heigel, the red lips and nails totally work for her.

I have to tell you, in my opinion this gal never gets it wrong. Katherine Heigel always looks stunning on the red carpet. Her bold red lips and nails are perfect pops of color that are right on trend.

In case you didn’t know, I’m an awards show junkie. It doesn’t matter how small or insignificant the award, if there’s a chance to critique celebrity fashion and beauty choices, I’m there. The Emmys however, are my all time favorite. More than polish and all my beauty addictions combined, my lifetime love of TV trumps them all. If my four Tivos/DVRs and embarrassing amount of television trivia knowledge don’t prove that, I don’t know what does. Seriously, try to stump me. I love a challenge.

So last night I was in heaven as I sat in my recliner, remote in one hand flipping between arrivals shows, mouse in the other surfing for celeb pics. I cried with Katherine Heigel, laughed with Steve Carell and a hip hop singing Rainn Wilson and raised a confused eyebrow as Robert Duvall rambled through two acceptance speeches. Talk about the picture of a couch potato. All I was missing was a can of beer. Though after having one too many at the Browns game earlier in the day, I was quite content with my big glass of flavored seltzer. Oh my aching melon!

While other blogs will be discussing the beauty and fashion trends of the evening, I choose to focus on the nails. And while the majority of the stars went with pale/nude shades there were some stars that stood out by sporting the fall trends on their tips and toes. It seems that the majority of Hollywood likes to play it safe when it comes to beauty and I don’t blame them. Stepping outside the box can spell disaster and land them on many a worst-dressed list. It’s amazing how a beautiful starlet in a gorgeous gown can get ripped to shreds over something as minute as earrings or hair adornment. Yet I still wait with baited breath to see who will be named worst dressed on E!’s Fashion Wrap. I’m only human.

So let’s get it started!
