TOP TEN BEST DRESSED WOMEN

alderson OLTL- red carpet.jpg

1. Kristen Alderson (Starr, "OLTL")

In person this was gorgeous.
The white was fresh, and the black and lace was stunning. The whole look was very flattering. One of my faves.

Susan Lucci - AMC- Emmy Fahsion.jpg

2. Susan Lucci (Erica, "AMC")

She looks amazing. The color is very
right now and she still has the figure to
pull off a strapless gown. The ruffled tiers
at the hem are flattering as well and give it movement.

Kirsten Storms- GH- Emmy Fahsion.jpg

3. Kristen Storms (Maxie, "GH")

I usually prefer a longer gown for this
type of event, and I don't love black
for daytime, but this totally works.
Her bod looks amazing and it has
just the right amount of sparkle.
The contrast at the waist gives her
a great shape. The hem length is
perfect.

Heather Tom- B&B- Emmy Fahsion.jpg

4. Heather Tom. (Katie, "B&B")

I am obviously biased here (I designed
her dress) but I love the teal with her coloring and the hint of shine, while still being very sheer is sexy.

5. Shelley Henning (Stephanie, "DAYS")

This was designed by Nick Verreos and
though it's a bit safe with the black and
white, I love the pattern. This style has
been done a lot, but it is still a knock out.

Minshew and Egan- AMC- Emmy Fashion.jpg

6. Alicia Minshew (Kendall, "AMC" pictured Left)

She is gorgeous, and I just LOVE
the print on her. Fab colors.

E. Hendrickson- Y&R- Emmy Fashion.jpg

7. Elizabeth Hendrickson 
(Chloe, "Y&R")

This style has been done as well,
but the color is great, and the overall
look is very successful.

Tammin Sursok- Y&R- Emmy Fashion.jpg

8. Tammin Sursok 
(Colleen, "Y&R")

Love the color. Very Bold. The dress
is not that innovative, but the fit is fabulous.

Nia Peeples- Y&R- Emmy Fashion.jpg

9. Nia Peeples  (Karen, "Y&R")

I love the one shoulder sillohuette. Too many sparkles can sometimes look trashy, but she's working it and looks great.

Emily OBrien- Y&R- Emmy Fahsion.jpg

10. Emily O' Brien (Jana, "Y&R")

I really like the draping of this gown.
I wish the color had a bit more pop.
But, overall a great look.

TOP FIVE BEST DRESSED MEN

dondiamont and Cyndy- Y&R- red carpet.jpg

1.  Don Diamont (Brad, "Y&R")

All men look great in a tux but I like
the fact that he added flare with a different tie.

Van Hansis- ATWT- Emmy Fashion.jpg

2. Van Hansis (Luke, "ATWT")

Usually in fashion we never pair orange
with black because it makes people think of Halloween. However here it works. The cut of the suit is perfect for him!

silberman -ATWT- red carpet.jpg

3. Jake Silberman (Noah, "ATWT")

Love the light blue shirt as well. Nice
twist on the classic tux.

cameron mathison and wife Vanessa-AMC-RC.jpg

4. Cameron Mathison ( Ryan, "AMC")

He looked really nice, but played it a bit safe.

rickypaullgoldin-AMC-Red carpet.jpg

5. Ricky Paull Goldin (Jeff, "AMC")

I personally love a white tux, so I think
he looks great, but you always run the
risk of looking like you should be serving
entrees.

TOP TEN WORST DRESSED WOMEN

riker- B&B- red carpet.jpg

1. Robin Riker (Beth, "B&B")

This was WAY too much tulle. It
just looks too old lady frou frou.
The length is weird, and the shrug
is just too much.

ward-GH-red carpet.jpg

2. Megan Ward. (Kate, "GH")

This is 5 looks in one. Nothing really seems
to go together, plus she looks under dressed
for the event. That belt and those shoes and that necklace? Really?

lesliekay-B&B- red carpet.jpg

3. Lesli Kay (Felicia, "B&B")

Lesli is one of the most beautiful gals,
but I hate the print and the cut of this dress.

Jeanne Cooper- Y&R- Emmy Fahsion.jpg

4. Jeanne Cooper  (Kay, "Y&R")

Ok she's a soap legend, but that print
mu mu is, I am afraid to say, somewhat
of an eyesore.

Ashley Jones- B&B- Emmy Fahsion.jpg

5. Ashley Jones (Bridget, "B&B")

I don't mind the bodice, but the lower
half of the dress looks very centipede-
esque.

Melody Thomas Scott - Y&R- Emmy Fashion.jpg

6. Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki, "Y&R")

I think she was going for an old Hollywood
look. Instead this just looks old-fashioned. 
Sorry, this just didn't work.

Melissa Archer- OLTL_ Emmy Fahsion.jpg

7. Melissa Archer (Natalie, "OLTL")

This looks like an electric blue
glad bag.

Kim Zimmer- GL- Emmy Fashion.jpg

8. Kim Zimmer (Reva, "GL")

This style has been done a million times
and she is under dressed for the
occasion. Black is boring.

Hillary B.Smith - OLTL- Emmy Fashion.jpg

9. Hillary B. Smith, (Nora, "OLTL")

OMG it's a human disco ball! Not
flattering and way too short. Matching shoes are done.

Debi Morgan- AMC_ Emmy Fahsion.jpg

10. Debbi Morgan (Angie, "AMC")

She is so cute! But, the dress has
been done and over done. Its hard to
make silk charmeuse look bad...but...
