It’s Emmy time! Did your fave T.V. celebs win? Great! Now to the important stuff…who wore what best of course. If you missed the Emmy’s red carpet, don’t worry, we’ve filtered out the best of the best so you don’t have to!

Like with all red carpet events, there seemed to be a few underlying themes, so we are going to break down our best Emmy’s Best Dressed moments for you. Tiered dresses, classic black dresses and diaphanous gowns ruled the red carpet, with the usual list of suspects on our best dressed list. Check out our picks to see if your fave celebs make the cut:

Tiered Dresses:

Brooke Shields in Badgley Mischka

Not too flouncy, precious or skimpy…Brooke Shields manages to marry fierce and feminine in this gorgeous Badgley Mischka gown. Minimal accessories and natural makeup and hair make her look easily one of my favorites of the night.

Black Dresses:

America Ferrera in vintage

Debra Messing in Monique Lhuillier

I don’t know which one I like more; America’s ruched vintage dress or Debra’s frothy tulle number from Monique Lhuillier. All I know is that these ladies better hold on to these dresses because they are gorgeous and timeless. You can pull these dresses out again in 10, 20, 30 years and they will still look fabulous. Again, they took the minimal road in accessories and hair to create a glowing and natural red carpet look.

Diaphanous:

Christina Applegate in Reem Acra

Mariska Hargitay in Carolina Herrera

Christina and Mariska looked every bit the television goddesses that they are in these one-shouldered gowns. Oddly, they both chose colors that read more spring than fall, but somehow, their dresses work. It was extra special to see Applegate out there and rockin’ it once again after her recent bout with breast cancer.

Best Dressed:

Heidi Klum in Armani (source)

What, like you are surprised? Heidi has been seriously ruling the red carpet as of late, and this Armani number simply stuns. She looks like a mermaid disco queen and I love love love it.

I couldn’t be more proud…one of my favorite curvacious actresses, none other than America-the-Beautiful, has been making some serious strides in the fashion world. Miss. Ferrera has been popping up on more and more “best dressed” lists recently, and it’s no surprise. Her style is the perfect blend of youthful elegance and class that you hardly see anymore.

Ok, so her look is neither groundbreaking nor is it avant-garde, but I love it just the same. America looks glossy, but not overprocessed and like the girl next door that you really want to go shopping with. The girl knows how to dress her shape without looking dowdy or obscene, and in a world of uber-thin actresses, it’s nice to see someone that looks like me out there working it.

Love what you see to? Duplicating this look is easy, so here are some simple steps on how to dress like America Ferrera:

1) Waist not, want not:

Show off an hourglass figure like America’s with a cinched in waist. This look is easy to achieve with a billowy top, skinny jeans and a skinny belt. Paired with an oversized bag and killer heels, you can easily create a look that is very now.

2) It’s a wrap:

Wrap dresses and tops are ideal for almost any body type, and look especially flattering if you are top or bottom heavy. Solid colored wrap dresses are your best bet to create a slimming effect.

3) No accessories please:

When you are as naturally beautiful as America, you don’t need a whole lot of bling to take away the attention from your glossy hair and great hieels. Go for minimal jewelry and streamlined belts, bags and shoes to create a timeless and ladylike look.
