Get the Look: Lo Bosworth at the Emmys

As I mentioned earlier, I was in love with the Madmen makeovers E! Entertainment whipped up for the ladies from The Hills, Lo Bosworth and Stephanie Pratt. Lo’s makeover was a tight fit green with envy dress by Karen Caldwell, a design that would undoubtedly fit right into the plot of next week’s show, and Stephanie’s frock was a mini from Guess by Marciano with a peekaboo lace at the top, sporting some fab Bardot inspired hair.

I was thinking to myself, it would be great to create a similar look like Lo but at an affordable rate. The look is quite simply, with the dress being the attention grabber, some natural peep toe pumps (you can try booties for some extra ‘tude!), a two finger flower ring and some seriously twisted gold bangles. Being that Stila makeup artist Sarah Lucero was on board with the makeover team, I had to find a pretty Stila pink and those bright nails had me thinking of China Glaze. I can’t tell y’all which shade gloss or polish to get from each brand though, as their selection has plenty to fit each madwoman (or man!). I got most of the items for the look for less than $50, but the shoes required more work.

Emmys Ladies

Did you watch the Emmys last night? Sometimes days come and go so fast, it becomes a surprise that it started and ended. Yesterday I was flipping channels in between watching the Kardashians and the Spin Crowd, as well as the Steelers vs. Broncos game and the Emmys. I find it most entertaining when every second is filled with some form of entertainment when the other channels start to slack. Anyone else a crazy channel surfer?

Before any of the shows, my eyes were glued to E! Entertainment‘s red carpet coverage of the Emmy arrivals. I was watching the styles for a memorable fashion moment, as it customary every year with awards shows and was a little disappointed.

The styles were mostly mermaid dresses and strapless at that (we all know how much I dislike strapless garments). The color choices were pretty traditional, sticking to either end of the color spectrum; white and tan and navy and black, with minimal variety in between. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed it all, but I was a little let down. I would’ve preferred the ladies take more risks. The Emmys isn’t that strict of an awards show, you’re allowed fun!

But enough complaining, keep reading to check out what I loved!

My standout dress of the show was worn by Carrie Preston. It had interesting draping and side/back and was an interesting color. Of course, it complimented her hair magically as well.

Kim Kardashian came in an uncharacteristically more natural makeup look, swept back hair, and Grecian dress. I like this side of her! Another reality television pair that hit the top five for me were Lo Bosworth and Stephanie Pratt. They teamed up with stylists (on E!), and Stila makeup artist Sarah Lucero to do a Madmen makeover. The “after” totally blew the “before” out of the water!

There wasn’t much leg being shown at the Emmys and I think I know what to blame it on. How many of y’all know someone (maybe even you – lord knows I’m guilty!) who didn’t want to shave her legs and put on pants or a maxi dress instead? That’s my conspiracy theory for this awards show. Kudos to the ladies that broke out the minis!

Did you watch the Emmys? What did you like/love about the fashion?
