Emmys Trendspotting: It's All About the Fishtail Flare

While it may not be a new trend, a fresh, sexier-than-ever batch of fishtail hems took the Emmys red carpet tonight.

While it may not be a new trend, a fresh, sexier-than-ever batch of fishtail hems took the Emmys red carpet tonight. Thus, it proves (once again) that the mermaid silhouette is a perennial favorite with Hollywood's A-list set. Without delving into the obvious complications of this style (pray for a stair-less venue!), the flared finish certainly provides a kind of dramatic glamour that demands attention. It's flirty, feminine, and because of its asymmetrical cut, allows for the gown to hit at a body-hugging angle. Translation: let's just say fishtail hems inevitably enhance every curve. Need proof? Sofia Vergara showed off her svelte figure in an embellished teal Zuhair Murad number, Allison Williams stunned in emerald green Oscar de la Renta, and Cat Deeley turned it out in a red Tadashi Shoji creation. The commonality here being these starlets' shared penchant for the fishtail hem. See how each chic celeb sported it, then tell us who wore it best in the comments.

The Bombshell Is Back: Bodacious Silhouettes Reign at Tonight's Emmys

Tonight's body-conscious cuts proved that sometimes a woman's best accessories are the assets she already has.
Emmys Red Carpet Trends 2012

Tonight's body-conscious cuts proved that sometimes a woman's best accessories are the assets she already has. With low-cut necklines, bustier-style strapless tops, and generally décolletage-enhancing silhouettes, it was clear that the Emmys marked a return to va-va-voom red-carpet dressing. Overtly sexy silhouettes were the rule in this lineup from Heidi Klum, who flashed a little skin in her Alexandre Vauthier gown, Kat Dennings, who played up her assets in a J. Mendel strapless, and Sofia Vergara, with a crisscross, cutout neckline on her Zuhair Murad gown that spoke to her signature glamazon look. These are just three in tonight's crew of very sexy Emmys trendsetters — click on to see the other starlets bringing (major) bombshell glamour.

Emmys: Lucy Liu

Lucy Liu gave us a lot to get excited about on the Emmys red carpet tonight — she showed up in a gorgeous, slightly space-age silver sequined gown by Versace, which she paired with diamond stud earrings and a silver clutch.

Lucy Liu gave us a lot to get excited about on the Emmys red carpet tonight — she showed up in a gorgeous, slightly space-age silver sequined gown by Versace, which she paired with diamond stud earrings and a silver clutch. The dress boasted a structured, armor-inspired bodice and moved gorgeously as Lucy walked across the stage during the show, lending a smooth, liquid quality to her overall look. We're head over heels for Lucy's sleek Versace dress; what do you think?

Emmys: Elisabeth Moss

Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss turned up the drama in a floral-print Dolce & Gabbana strapless on tonight's red carpet.

Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss turned up the drama in a floral-print Dolce & Gabbana strapless on tonight's red carpet. But it wasn't just the dramatic print that caught our attention; the look took a sexier turn, thanks to the gown's attention-getting sculptural neckline and asymmetrical hemline that revealed a look at the actress's stems. Add to that the ruched waistline and vampy pointed-toe pumps, and it was an all-around sultry appearance from Elisabeth, who finished the look with a few sparkling add-ons, like an armful of diamond bracelets and a pearl-embellished clutch in hand. Thoughts?

Emmys: Portia de Rossi

Portia de Rossi was lovely in lace tonight on the red carpet.

Portia de Rossi was lovely in lace tonight on the red carpet. The star wore a beige embroidered lace jumpsuit by Valentino, whose embellishments needed nothing more than some simple jewels, an ivory clutch, and pumps to polish off her look. What do you think of Portia's sheer lace jumpsuit? Do you think she pulled it off?

Emmys: Kerry Washington

Be still, our hearts — Kerry Washington fulfilled our girlie obsession with sequins, sparkle, and a perfectly executed draped neckline.

Be still, our hearts — Kerry Washington fulfilled our girlie obsession with sequins, sparkle, and a perfectly executed draped neckline. And how? Her stunning Vivienne Westwood gown could very well be straight out of a Studio 54 nightclub scene, and we're 100 percent behind this particular brand of '70s disco-ball glam, mostly because Kerry pulls it off so well. As if her embellished gown wasn't enough, she had to one-up herself with a slick reptilian-textured clutch, complete with a bronzed lizard add-on. Are you as enamored of this ensemble as we are?

Emmys: Melissa McCarthy

Aside from being one of the funniest people on the planet, Melissa McCarthy also knows how to turn up the glam for the red carpet.

Aside from being one of the funniest people on the planet, Melissa McCarthy also knows how to turn up the glam for the red carpet. Melissa hit tonight's awards in a black, custom Daniela Kurrle gown. Peasant-style sleeves and lace paneling gave the dress a romantic feel, but it was really all about the accessories. Melissa amped up her look with a studded black clutch, sparkling drop earrings, and a jeweled cocktail ring. How'd she do?

Emmys: Amy Poehler

Well, that's one way to make a serious statement: Amy Poehler may in fact be recently separated from husband Will Arnett, but she used the Emmys red carpet to assert herself as a hot, single nominee.

Well, that's one way to make a serious statement: Amy Poehler may in fact be recently separated from husband Will Arnett, but she used the Emmys red carpet to assert herself as a hot, single nominee. We've never seen Amy look this hot — she dazzled tonight in a low-cut, beaded Stella McCartney gown and smartly decided to go easy on the jewelry. After all, a look this sexy doesn't need much adornment. Amy wore a pair of beaded drop earrings and adorably slipped on a plastic ring from her sons' toy box — bringing new life to the term "hot mom." What do you think of Amy's look tonight?

Emmys: Cat Deeley

Cat Deeley embraced Fall color in a Tadashi Shoji gown with a fit-and-flare silhouette.

Cat Deeley embraced Fall color in a Tadashi Shoji gown with a fit-and-flare silhouette. Cat's one-shoulder gown, which spanned the gap between red and orange, featured a ruffle — which reminded us of the leaves that are soon to fall — leading into sharp tailoring and pleat work that created a sleek yet feminine gown. She finished her gown with bejeweled arm candy and a clutch with a geometric white and black design to add a pop of print to her red-carpet look. What do you think of Cat's seasonal ensemble?
