On the third Sunday evening in September, our husbands and children know that for that night they are going to order in pizza, make their own baths, tuck themselves in and be as quiet as mice. That’s because it is EMMY night and nothing makes us more excited than a good red carpet event and award show. The dresses, the makeup the hair and jewelry inspire us as stylists, fashionistas and just as girls! This year is turning out to be no different. As we write this blog, the awards are still being handed out. But let’s face it! For us clothes obsessed gals it’s really not about the EMMYS, but all about the dresses!! This year sea-foam green rocked the red carpet. Along with reds, greys, blues and alot of burgundy. Yellow was a pleasant unexpected hit. Lace, brocade and metallic details were standouts. Plunging necklines and slits up to the sky were also popular and oh so pretty! Jewelry in colors that matched dresses were seen all over the red carpet as well as bright red lipstick and old hollywood curls. This year ALOT of stars got it right but as always some were an award show “DON’T”. So here are The Style Duo’s version of Fashion Awards for the EMMYS 2012!!

And the winners are…

Best Dressed: Heidi Klum - This was an easy one for us. She would look good in any color but this choice was stunning.

Best Jewelry: Emily van der Camp - We are big fans of Van Cleef Arpel. And her feminine bow bracelet blew us away!

Worst Dressed: January Jones - Dress, hair , makeup....Don't Don't Don't!

Sexiest Dressed: Sofia Vargas - As always Sofia gets it right. This girl could make feetie pajamas look sexy but we adored her turquoise Zuhair Murad mermaid dress. Absolutely exquisite!
