COLOURS ON THE CARPET { EMMY'S 2011 }

Yesterday Hollywood held the 63rd annual Emmy awards and lets face it, the only part we watch of the entire tv coverage is what the red carpet, so here are my favourites.  I picked up on 3 noticeable colour trends and a couple of dress/fabric styles too that you may want to use for your bridesmaids or your own wedding dress.

The Blue Trend
My absolute favourite of the whole day was Katie Holmes (top) in this cobalt blue stunner, she oozed cool understated elegance in this simple dress by Calvin Klein.
I also love the colour mostly of this dress by Alberta Ferretti that Cobie Smulders was wearing. This vibrant jewel turquoise colour is very on-trend for summer along with the cobalt blue, so it's blues in many tones all round...
The Red Trend
I'm not a huge fan of red, but this was by far the most popular colour of the night and my favourite lady in red was Nancy O'Dell from ET. This dress fits her like a glove and those aqua chandelier earrings are a perfect choice to bring this look right into 2012. The strapless dress was a huge trend along with the sweetheart neckline.
Lea Michele always seems to get my vote at these events, she just knows how to pick exactly the right look for her and here she wears Marchesa.


The Black/ Nude Trend
Gwenyth Paltrow doesn't often put a foot wrong on the red carpet these days and I really happen to like this sheer lace number by Pucci. Black can be a tad boring, but sheer-lace black is something worth noting. This lace trend is also one to watch for in weddings.
And special mention to Aussie's own Racheal Taylor for looking completely part of the A-list in this sparkly number by Armani-Prive. Love her hair, love her make-up, love her attitude!
