Emmys Fashion Report

Red dominated the red carpet at the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards as it did the Academy Awards last year and most Indian weddings. Tell me of a bride who doesn't wear red, and I'll be at her doorstep tomorrow with a bouquet of black roses! OK digressing.....although many starlets opted to chili out in red and blend in with the red carpet, none of those dresses um stood out. Take Lea Michele for instance, for all her posing and preening - her red Marchesa dress was no stand out number. This is what it looks like, nice? kinda ordinary in my opinion.

So I wasn't loving the reds, but I found plenty of eye candy and fashion inspiration from these starlets. Here they are: *Drum Roll*!!

Sarah Hyland collaborated with Christian Siriano on this one-shouldered Grecian dress with the bejeweled belt. Such fashion savvy in one so young is to be admired!

Evan Rachel Wood channeled old Hollywood glamour in this Elie Saab gown. When in doubt, opt for the classic look.

Cobie Smulders stood out simply for wearing aquamarine. Don't recall seeing anyone else donning this shade. Why aren't we seeing more fresh colours like this on the red carpet?

Kaley Cuoco's was the only ballerina dress I saw at the Emmys. Her Romona Keveza tea-length dress stood out amongst a sea of slinky floor length gowns. I kinda like that she accessorised her black outfit with a red clutch and shoes. Nice!

I love this bright canary yellow vintage Helena Barbieri dress worn by Jennifer Westfeldt. Very feminine and summery.

Christina Hendricks amped up the glam factor in this shimmery Johana Johansson gown.

Martha Plimpton certainly got it right with this sequined dress the colour of berries!

Some loved it, some didn't. Either way Gwyneth Paltrow's two piece Pucci outfit certainly made an impression and got people talking. We'll be hearing more of this outfit in years to come I'm sure.

Julie Bowen wore Oscar de la Renta. I like the deep V-cut and metallic shimmer of her gown.

Amber Riley has been on my style radar for sometime now. This isn't her first outing on the red carpet, and she hasn't failed to dazzle each time. I like the colour and the jeweled detailing on the shoulders.

Cat Deeley was radiant in a gold and tulle Monique Lhuillier gown.

Claire Danes was glamorous and edgy in this sparkly geometric print Oscar de la Renta dress in blue and black hues.

Stylish After 50

There is no age limit to being stylish and fashionable. One's fashion sense does not melt away into the sunset after 50. Plus there's absolutely no rule that says a woman in her 60s or 70s who has grandchildren must stop wearing make-up, painting her nails and wearing lovely clothes. Way too often have I heard the common refrain: " So old already why must dress up, who is going to look at us?" or "Already a grandmother, why want to do all this some more...." Said in typical Malaysian lingo of course! First of all, I don't get the concept of dressing up for other people. When you look good, you feel good, it is as simple as that. It is not about the number of people who might stop by to lavish you with compliments. It is about making a statement about who you are - someone who believes in looking good by wearing clothes that compliment her. Forget the white streaks in your hair, those faint lines on your face. Clothes, shoes and accessories don...

Aishwarya's Daughter

It was a big day for Bollywood yesterday, or for Bollywood fans at least when the reigning queen of Indian cinema Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was finally delivered of a baby girl. A big day and a big deal because speculation has been rife on when Ash would become a mum since she married Abhishek way back in 2007. Ash was admitted to the Seven Hills Hospital in Mumbai on Monday night. She went into labour at 4am on Wednesday and delivered about six hours after. Ever since Ash got pregnant, all sorts of stories appeared in the Indian press with regards to the gender of her yet to be born child. Some said it would be twin girls, others said it would be a boy and had to be a boy because father in-law Amitabh Bachchan required a male heir to continue his family dynasty. There was even one strange story about her visiting a fertility clinic in Bangkok to sort of um.....ensure that the baby would be male. Well so much for all those stories! The baby is finally here and it is a gi...
