My Two Cents // Emmys


Did y'all watch the 65th Emmys last night?

Though I am typically more concerned with the Red Carpet than the actual awards, I tuned into the entire program ( until the second-to-last episode of Breaking Bad aired at 8 ) because I actually followed a few of the nominated shows close enough to care. ( Such as Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, and Big Bang Theory. )

Needless to say, I was ecstatic for the cast and crew of Breaking Bad for taking home the award for best drama. It was also clear I need to start watching some shows that continuously receive nominations ( Modern Family, anyone? ) and some new shows ( like that Top of the Lake series? ) that seem to have been well-received.

Style-wise, I was not blown away. However, there were a few key looks that deserved a nod.

First up, Rose Byrne. She looked absolutely stunning in Calvin Klein and made old Hollywood glamour look modern with the minimalistic gown and metallic clutch. And that hair. Oh, that hair.

Kate Mara has scarred me for life after first seeing her act in the terribly scary American Horror Story series. When she popped again in House of Cards, I couldn't shake her role as a psycho mistress, but I'm learning to like her as a manipulative journalist. In my opinion, she had one of the most dramatic and stylish looks of the evening in her all-white-everything J. Mendel ensemble. Head-to-toe chic.

Little Kiernan Shipka, better known as not-so-little-anymore Sally Draper, was perhaps the chicest 13-year-old to ever hit the Red Carpet. Her Del Pozo gown was fun, fashion forward, and age appropriate. Her sleek pony and light makeup topped the look off. She'll definitely be one to follow as her career continues to expand.

Lastly, Allison Williams looked all-around gorgeous from her cobalt blue Ralph Lauren gown to her gold cuffs to her simple waves. She's got that whole "effortlessly chic" bit down to a science.
