FabSugar — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 21:48:44 PDT

Red gowns were in full force at the Emmys as seen on celebrities like Kate Winslet, Lea Michele, Nina Dobrev, and Kerry Washington. However, the similarities ended there as each one showed off their own sleek interpretation of the hot Hollywood hue. Kate went for chic and simple in an Elie Saab gown, Lea opted for a draped back design by Marchesa, Nina showed off full-on glamour in a curve-hugging gown by Donna Karan, and Kerry Washington shimmered in red sequins by Zuhair Murad. Out of all of the stunning red looks, which one is your personal favorite?

I got this dress for a wedding I am going to this Summer. I'm looking for ideas to accessorize it! Bag, jewelry, shoes, nail polish. I will probably wear my hair back but to the side (the other side from the shoulder strap). My hair is brown, and my skin is a very light olive.

Compare & Contrast: Red Dress, Leopard Belt, Black Pumps

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:00:22 PDT

Red dress, leopard belt, black pumps - a killer combination both Rihanna and Elizabeth Banks recently took on. Fashion coincidence? The items are similar but the styling is vastly different. Rihanna is dressy and chic, while Elizabeth is more casual and sassy. Let's break their looks down shall we?

Rihanna: The singer chose a tomato red Monique Lhuiller Resort '09 dress at the Spirit of Life Awards dinner in LA. Very fancy-dinner appropriate.

Dress: So as not to be the average lady in red, she sought funkiness and got it with the origami detail bodice. The taffeta fabric elevates the look to black tie status.

Belt: The slim leopard belt breaks up the look and adds a touch of casual. Without it, the look would be too mature for Rihanna.

Shoes: The black satin pointy pumps maintain sophistication without distracting.

Elizabeth Banks: The actress wore a bold red square-neck mini dress to the MTV TRL studios in NYC. MTV appearances require lightheartedness and this delivered.

Dress: This dress is not nearly as elaborate as Rihanna's; it's equally modern, fun, and flattering.

Belt: This overly wide leopard belt distracts from the dress. Plus, it does nothing for her figure besides hide it.

Shoes: The black patent round-toe pumps save the look. They provide some much-needed shine.
