Elizabeth Moss in Andrew Gn Resort 2014: Black and white was a big trend on the 2013 Emmy Awards red carpet--as well as the recently-shown New York Fashion Week Spring 2014 collections. So, it comes as no surprise that we would see examples of it at the 65th Annual Emmy Awards. Actress Elizabeth Moss from "Mad Men" wore a strapless gown from Andrew Gn (pronounced "Jen" in case you were wondering--rhymes with pen). The Singapore-born, Paris-based designer develops his embroideries in-house and creates his own buttons and embellishments, which is good news for the “bourgeois princesses” who look to him for one-of-a-kind event-dressing. Artisanal details in the form of bows, mink trim, and beading keep the royals and socials coming back for more. I think this was a pretty--and safe--gown for Moss. The black portion/bustier seemed a little too short. But other than that, it was a pretty gown and up close the beading was stunning.

Kiernan Shipka in Delpozo 2014: 13 year-old Kiernan Shipka from "Mad Men" wore a dress form Delpozo. It was from their Spring 2014 collection. In case you are wondering who and what Delpozo is...according to Style.com:  

Madrid-based label Delpozo made an impressive New York fashion week debut with an intimate show staged at a sun-drenched penthouse space in Chelsea. After founder Jesus del Pozo passed away in 2011, the established Spanish fashion house (also known for its line of perfumes) tapped Josep Font as its new creative director. In just two seasons, Font has completely revamped the Delpozo name. His “prêt-à-couture” designs were getting attention from influential editors and retailers (all eyes were on Lauren Santo Domingo when she entered the room in an ivory topcoat from Font’s debut Spring ’13 collection, which was picked up by Moda Operandi), so the company decided to step up its international presence by showing during NYFW.

So, there you go.  Impressive designer and obviously, lots of backing (read: money).

At first, when I saw Kiernan and this dress, I was like "Ummm, OK, not so sure..." but then I thought, "wait, imagine Miley "twerking " Cyrus and what she would have worn? I also thought that at least she didn't go with the "I was just a Bridesmaid at a wedding" look. And it's nice to see a young girl not look well...like MILEY CYRUS! I LIKE this look. It's innovative, interesting and fresh. Oh and yes, it's FASHIONABLE!

Kerri Washington in Marchesa Spring 2014: Best Actress Nominee Kerry Washington wore this blush/nude colored, very ethereal gown, from Marchesa Spring 2014. The gown was just shown during New York Fashion Week. Speaking of that...when I was looking at the gowns that were shown in the NY Fashion Week collections, there was so much of this nude/sheer/blush happening that I wondered if the Emmy-nominated gals would be featuring some of these looks. Well, my wondering was answered. It is a beautiful gown and made for a princess. I'm sure up close, the details, sequins, applique is absolutely DIVINE. I just don't know if this is Kerry Washington's dress, if you know what I mean...

Julie Bowen in Zac Posen Resort 2014: I was wondering when--and on who--I would see some over-the-top ruffled Zac Posen gown . And I got my wish with "Modern Family" actress Julie Bowen. The light peach (or is it "blush"?)-colored Mermaid/Flamenco-shaped gown. The gown IS A LOT of look. But I think Bowen pulled it off. I think it was a wise decision of hers--and/or her stylist--to keep everything else simple including her jewelry, hair and gold clutch.

"New Girl" actress Zooey Deschanel wore a silver blue fitted column gown from J. Mendel Resort 2014 collection by Gilles Mendel. The gown featured a high neck with tiny center front keyhole, side slit and interesting front-to-side bow detail...
