Emmys Fashion Blog: Purple Reign (August 28, 2006)

August 28, 2006

--

Purple….as in eggplant, plum and lavender….reigned the red carpet at the Emmys. I was right in the middle of all the action on the red carpet, so I got to check out the dresses up close - so cool because you can really see the detail that goes into these amazing gowns, something that never quite translates to TV or magazines. I escorted Sandra Oh down the red carpet to do an interview on our platform and loved her frothy lavender Vera Wang gown, which she accessorized with Loree Rodkin jewelry. There’s a debate here at the office about her jewelry and if it was too much for such a delicate gown. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I liked what she was going for, because it was kind of daring and wasn’t your typical “award show bling.”
