It was a successful night for the attendees of the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards. Unlike many a red carpet occasion, fashion disasters were few and far between.

That doesn’t mean the Emmy’s didn’t leave their mark, a definite shift in the fashion thinking could be observed; where this year the mood has been all about the romance (floaty, feminine and frilled), for the Emmy’s…. it’s all gone a little bit dark.

Our best dressed star of the night demonstrates this new aesthetic perfectly. Glee’s Lea Michele brought the drama in a midnight blue fishtail Oscar De La Renta gown. Whilst her castmate Jayma Mays wowed in a deep blue strapless Burberry Prorsum gown. Honourable mention goes to Mad Men’s January Jones who looked sensational in an azule blue voluminous Atelier Versace gown.

Onto the fashion fails. The Hill’s ladies did not fair well. Lo Bosworth looked double her age and weight(not to mention under-dressed) in a green Karen Caldwell shift dress. Stephanie Pratt either didn’t read the invite properly or the Emmy’s was just the first stop on her way to a nightclub because she chose a sixties style Naven mini dress. Finally Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara chose an embellished Carolina Herrera gown in the worst shade of yellow imaginable.
