Madonna made an appearance on the red carpet to promote her new movie W.E. Madonna went for a black embroidered silver and black dress from last year’s autumn/winter collection Marchesa. This dress with its chiffon shoulder details has a slight hint of Miss Havisham; not a great look on Madonna.

Andrea Riseborough, the film’s leading lady also went for a Marchesa design. Andrea’s sheer embroidered skirt and top set from the new spring collection is a good look with just the right mix of fashion (this season’s peplum) and Marchesa’s trademark drama.

Nikki Reed who plays Rosalie Hale in the The Twilight Saga was another star on the red carpet for the LA premiere last night night. Nikki chose a green draped gown with gold sequin detailing from the resort collection by Marchesa. Whilst I do like this gown, this look is definitely the weakest; the colour isn’t great on Nikki and the cut of the dress hides her great figure.

AWARDS SEASON – Who Wore What at the 2011 Emmy Awards

The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards took place on Sunday night in Los Angeles. The awards ceremony which celebrates the best in television attracted an impressive array of stars. But it was the Brits who cleaned up on the night with Downton Abbey winning big and Kate Winslet taking best actress.

The red carpet was an impressive sight with stars bringing out their best in what is the first big event after the summer, signalling the start of awards season. Here you’ll find a comprehensive roundup of who wore what all condensed into one giant post!

First up was Gwyneth Paltrow who definitely likes to make a statement, it’s not often you see the flash of a stomach on the red carpet but Gwyneth showed hers off with pride. Gwyneth’s design of choice was a cropped top and long skirt ensemble by Emilio Pucci. The sight of her midriff detracts somewhat from the exquisite detail of this look which is a shame.

Kate Winslet was one of the big winners of the night, taking away the best actress accolade for her role in tv-series Mildred Pierce. For the occasion Kate looked every inch the movie star in a figure hugging red gown from the resort collection by Elie Saab. The gown is simple with it’s cap-sleeves and split-neckline but stunning in a dramatic red.

Katie Holmes took to the red carpet in a simple but elegant halterneck gown by Calvin Klein. The azure blue is a stunning colour on Katie’s olive complexion and the Calvin Klein silver belt nips in the waist giving a bit of shape to the gown.

Claire Danes at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards. (Los Angeles, CA)

Claire Danes sits firmly in the best dress category for Emmy award attendees. The actress wore a strapless metallic blue gown from the resort collection by Oscar De La Renta. Metallic blue is an unusual colour to see on the red carpet, this design with it’s geometric shape pattern is particularly stunning

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards. (Los Angeles, CA)

Devil Wears Prada star Emily Blunt was one of my best dressed attendees. Emily wore a midnight blue beaded gown from the fall haute couture collection by Elie Saab. The dress fits her perfectly and the plunging neckline adds an element of drama to this exquisite look.

Nina Dobrev at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards. (Los Angeles, CA)

Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev wowed in what was one of her best ever red carpet looks; a strapless gown from the resort collection by Donna Karan. She teamed the dress with a Neil Lane necklace and Judith Leiber clutch. I love her elegant side-swept hair – the perfect do for this dress.

Actors Scott Caan and Anna Paquin present an award during the 63rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 18, 2011. UPI/Jim Ruymen

True Blood star, Anna Paquin didn’t walk the red carpet but she did appear on stage to present an award. For Anna when it comes to a red carpet there is really only one designer of choice and that is Alexander McQueen. Anna wore a draped black gown with gold accents by Alexander McQueen. Accents of gold Van Cleef & Arpels set the look off perfectly.

Actors Will Arnett and Zooey Deschanel present an award during the 63rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 18, 2011. UPI/Jim Ruymen

Zooey Deschanel attended the Emmy Awards wearing a pretty strapless full skirted gown from the resort collection of Monique Lhuillier. This gown has a real high school prom feel about it with the soft pink palette and retro updo but in a typically Zooey way this works with a real quirky vibe.

Julianna Margulies at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards. (Los Angeles, CA)

Julianna Margulies made an unusual choice in red carpet gown for the Emmy’s. Julianna chose a strapless gown by Armani Prive in a bright white. White can sometimes seem a little bridal which is why it’s usually avoided at black tie events but this particularly design with it’s crystal stone detailing on the bodice and slight metallic sheen to it absolutely works.

Lea Michele arrives at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 18, 2001. UPI/Jayne Kamin Oncea

Yet another red dress, this time on Glee’s Lea Michele. Lea wore this shoulder ruffle design by Marchesa. Whilst as a dress in itself it’s perfectly nice but it doesn’t really standout especially amongst the other looks from the event. IT doesn’t look like it fits particularly well however its one redeeming feature is the cowl back.

Another celeb on the red carpet for the screening of Butter at the Toronto Film Festival was Olivia Wilde. Olivia also went for an ultra girlie look in a white longsleeve gown with gold embroidery from the resort collection by Marchesa. This is a stunning dress with a real Grecian feel about it, however with its billowing skirt it feels just a little too ‘holiday’ and doesn’t really make the most of Olivia’s slim figure.

Glee star Lea Michele has had a busy weekend – appearing on Friday at the Fox All Star Party alongside her castmates before attending the star-studded premiere of Glee: The 3D Concert Movie in LA on Saturday night. On both occasions Lea chose to wear Marchesa.

For the Fox party on Friday Lea went for a stunning cream sequin embroidered drop waist gown and tasselled belt. She teamed the dress with a silver Judith Leiber box clutch, touselled hair and a glowing tan for a fresh and pretty look.

Emma Watson was another big name on the red carpet for last night’s 2011 MTV Movie Awards in LA. Emma went for a little white silk dress with beaded shoulder details by Marchesa with silver Brian Atwood pumps. This is a very pretty dress on Emma, however we are used to seeing something a little bit different on the Harry Potter star and there is nothing new about this look.
