Emmys 2011: Booby Trapped

There were a lot of…restrictions on the Emmy Red Carpet this year.

Straps, single and double scoops, one-shouldered slings and yards of tape held things together.

If there are so many stylists in Hollywood, why are they dressing everyone the same – regardless of age, personality and style?

It’s all getting very silly from my perspective, so I’ve given you my thoughts on what I would have liked to see these ladies in.

1 Padma Lakshmi at the 2011 Emmy Awards on Exshoesme.com
A beautiful woman in the wrong dress. I would have loved to see her in something edgy - Haider Ackermann comes to mind.
2 Kaley Cuoco at the 2011 Emmy Awards on Exshoesme.com
I loved the length of the dress - but Kaley should have gone full-out '50s strapless and ditched the shoulder sling, opting for vintage bling instead.
3 Kate Flannery at the 2011 Emmy Awards on Exshoesme.com
Prom-ise me this won't happen again. I would have dressed her in Gaultier.
4 Kyle Richards at the 2011 Emmy Awards on Exshoesme.com
You prom-ised... Black and white printed Giles from FW11 would have been a stunner on her.
5 Angela Kinsey at the 2011 Emmy Awards on Exshoesme.com
This dress could have worked in a different fabric and without the cummerbund. See Kate, Christine for examples. Oscar's feathered black and white pouf would have been lovely, too.
6 Sarah Hyland at the 2011 Emmy Awards on Exshoesme.com
She is just adorable, but I say again, why are we dressing teenagers like 45-year olds? I would have loved to see her in a pretty Erdem or Jonathan Saunders frock with some Charlotte Olympia shoes.
7 Sofia Vergara at the 2011 Emmy Awards on Exshoesme.com
I would have dressed Sofia Vergara in Stephane Rolland Couture. Full stop.
8 Edie Falco and Sofia Vergara at the 2011 Emmy Awards on Exshoesme.com
Edie Falco could have rocked in YSL. I see a cigarette pant, a tuxedo jacket, a sparkly lariat and some smoky eyes.
9 Cara Buono at the 2011 Emmy Awards on Exshoesme.com
Sigh. Chanel's '20s Daisy from Resort 2010 would have been so much better, here.

See what I mean…

10 Christina Hendricks at the 2011 Emmy Awards on Exshoesme.com
And the gorgeous woman who always brings her golden globes, regardless of awards show... Can we try a different tactic, next red carpet? Maybe Tom Ford's white suit from SS11?
