Do you watch award shows solely to learn who wins what award? I have to admit that knowing who takes home the trophy is only about 20% of the reason why I watch award shows. The other 20% is to see the opening number while the rest is to see which stars looked great in their designer gowns and envy-inducing shoes. Here are some favorites of some bloggers I frequent.

1. Debra Messing

Debra Wore a red Michael Kors gown. She looked really classy and sophisticated. Her hair and makeup were impeccably done, too. Now compared to another red-clad celebrity, Debra really looked like royalty.

2. Mila Kunis

I have a slight bias for tulle skirts and anything that has Monique Lhuillier’s name on it. Here is Mila looking ravishing in a plum Monique Lhuillier gown with matching sky-high heels. Her hair and makeup were great, too. She finished the look with simple silver accessories.

3. Kate Walsh

Cool and chic. Sophisticated but low maintenance. Kate Walsh’s look embodies all of those  and more. She wore a J. Mendel gown with Louboutins. The low maintenance part come from her Aldo bag and Suave hair styling products. Amazing, huh? And may I just say that I love her body.

4. January Jones

I envy her name and I envy the fact that she’s part of one of the most amazing TV shows today. I guess I will add “looking great in a Versace gown” to that list. January wore a constructed Versace gown. It looks like the gown was made especially for her. Of course, Christina Hendricks looked beautiful as well.

5. John Hamm, Heidi Klum, and More

While John Hamm did not look as dashing as Don Draper always does, he still looked great during the Emmy awards. Among the men, Seal and Kevin Bacon looked noteworthy. In this list, Debra Messing is given more well-deserved love. Also included are Heidi Klum (looks great with OR without a baby bump), Sandra Oh, Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
