Newly single Heidi Klum might not stay that
way for long: Her seafoam-green gown
made waves on the Emmy red carpet with a
plunging front, plunging back and slits up-tothere,
leaving very little in the middle. She was
among the dazzling arrivals Sunday who made the
Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles awash in color. There
was plenty of red to go with the carpet, including
on Kat Dennings of “2 Broke Girls” in J Mendel,
“Once Upon a Time” star Ginnifer Goodwin in red
flame over champagne by Monique Lhuillier and
Tina Fey in dark red with gold bust details by
Vivienne Westwood. “Top Chef” host Padma
Lakshmi looked gorgeous in an orange strapless
gown by Lhuillier that made her an early trending
topic on Twitter, and actress Leslie Mann had on a
bright orange skirt on her bare beaded halter
gown by Naeem Khan. Claire Danes of “Homeland”
wore bright yellow.
Hayden Panettiere of ABC’s “Nashville” wore
straight-from-the-runway Marchesa, a blue tulle
over gold embroidery sari shown at New York
Fashion Week earlier this month. Sofia Vergara
wore a sexy, sparkly, green Zuhair Murad mermaid
dress and brought several people from Colombia
as her dates. Klum’s seafoam gown was by French
designer Alexandre Vaultier and she had a sexy
‘70s wave to her hair. Zooey Deschanel had a manicure
with little TV sets on her thumbnails - perhaps
the kind of thing “E!” had in mind for its mani-cam
that had stars walking their fingers down a tiny red
carpet. Celebrities build their fashion reputation
largely from the red carpet, Lhuillier said, and
they’ll affect trends for color, silhouette and
embellishments.
Lhuillier said Emmy gowns were already in the
works earlier this month when she presented her
most recent catwalk collection - one in which she
declared “the ballgown is gone.” Instead, she
focused her full-length dresses in mermaid and
other sleeker hemlines. Not everyone watching TV
will need a gown in the coming weeks or months,
but when they do, they’ll often turn to the brands
they hear about at the Emmys, Oscars or Grammys,
Lhuillier said. “That’s what a red carpet does for a
company like mine.”
Louise Roe, a fashion commentator and
Glamour magazine editor, who’ll host of the second
season of NBC’s “Fashion Star,” said her eyes
will be on the lookout for anything eye-catching,
especially if anyone taps into the harnesses, sheer

panels and cutout bodices that designers are offering
for 2013. She thinks stars from “Gossip Girl” and
“Revenge” could be among those to watch. There’s
always someone who takes the high-fashion risk
on the Emmy red carpet. It was Gwyneth Paltrow
and her belly-baring, metallic lace number last
year. It wasn’t a critical favorite, but now - in retrospect
- it seemed like the spark for many of the current
runway trends. — AP
