ON THE RED CARPET: The Emmys

January Jones in Versace; Kenneth Jay Lane Flower Enamel Ring with Pearl (AED 400)

The Emmys can be just as glamorous as the Oscars and the Golden Globes, and it seems like lately that the best talent in Hollywood appears on the small screen. Take for example, January Jones, the amazingly talented and gorgeous star of Mad Men. She is quickly becoming a fashion favourite by not playing it safe, often dressed in spectacular Versace gowns. She takes the cake for the best dressed as far as we're concerned. January's Versace dress didn't need flashy accessories, just a pretty flower-shaped ring. If you loved January's ring, we suggest giving Kenneth Jay Lane a try.


Leah Michelle in Oscar de la Renta; Siman Tu Cubic Zirconia Bangles (Pre-Order Item, Wide AED 1550, Narrow AED 1250)

Glee's favourite diva, Leah Michelle, wore a ultra-feminine Oscar de la Renta gown with opulent antique-like accessories that echoed Old Hollywood. She just had to make a big entrance for her big Emmy debut. Although we're not sure whose jewelry designs Leah wore, they certainly look a lot like Siman Tu's.


Anna Paquin in Alexander McQueen; Melinda Maria Teeny Pod Bangles (AED 350 each); Vita Fede Combina Single Bracelet (AED 340); CC Skye Pave Stud Bracelet Gold (AED 1100)

The runner-up for best dressed had to be True Blood's Anna Paquin in her gorgeous black and gold Alexander McQueen dress. We love the way she matched her bracelets with the dress. For a similar layered look, we suggest mixing Melinda Maria, Vita Fede and CC Skye.


Elisabeth Moss in Donna Karan; Kenneth Jay Lane Antique Drop Earrings (AED 620); Lisa Freede Laser-Cut Swarovski Crystal Bracelets (AED 570)

Another fabulous lady of Mad Men, Elisabeth Moss also went for Old Hollywood glamour by pairing her one-shoulder cream Donna Karan gown with diamond drop earrings and layered diamond bracelets. For those on a budget, we suggest Kenneth Jay Lane's drop earrings and Lisa Freede's crystal wrap bracelets. They are just as shiny as diamonds!


Kim Kardashian in Marchesa; Kenneth Jay Lane Gold & Crystal Flower Earrings (AED 900)

Although we are not sure why Kim Kardashian got invited to the Emmys, we have to agree that the girl is gorgeous! She certainly knows how to work the red carpet and play up her exotic looks. Her Marchesa gown was paired beautifully with diamond flower stud earrings - a much softer look for Kim than the usual femme fatale.


Eva Longoria Parker in Robert Rodriguez; Siman Tu Amethyst Chandelier Earrings (AED 1800)

Desperate Housewives' Eva Longoria is a classic beauty that opted for a black Robert Rodriguez column gown. Her look would have been a little boring if not for her purple chandelier earrings. We love our Siman Tu earrings that are very similar in both shape and colour.


Nina Dobrev in Armani Prive; Siman Tu "Black Diamond" Earrings (AED 1650)

Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev also made her Emmy debut with a bang in a sparkly Armani gown. As with Eva Longoria, a classic gown is best paired with chandelier earrings. Again, we would turn to Siman Tu for a stunning pair.


Heidi Klum in Marchesa; Vintage 1950s Christian Dior Earrings (AED 5500, price includes matching brooch)

Heidi Klum's Marchesa mini dress was pretty silly. Yes, Heidi, we get it: you have great legs. Her lavish necklace was really spectacular though. It had the same vintage feel as our vintage Christian Dior earrings. Maybe she should have worn those too to distract from her silly cocktail dress?


Keri Russell in vintage Scherrer and Jennifer Behr; Jennifer Behr "Bella" Flower Comb (Pre-Orders Only, AED 970)

We are excited for Keri Russell's new show premiering in the fall and it's great to see her getting so much attention again. It's also great to see that she wore Jennifer Behr's "Bella" flower comb! We just wish she didn't pair it with a hot pink dress but we give her props for going for a bold colour. But seriously, how cute is Keri?

Emily Blunt in Dior; Ban.dō Crystal Pin (AED 590); Jennifer Behr "Flora" Crystal Antique Flower (AED 950)

Newlyweds Emily Blunt and John Krasinski looked like a happy stylish couple. Emily wore an embellished lilac Dior gown and therefore went light on accessories. A little sparkly comb garnishing her chignon was all she needed. To replicate Emily's hairstyle, we suggest Ban.dō or Jeniffer Behr's stunning "Flora" comb.

Aren't award shows the best? We can't wait for the next award season to start!
