From Kerry Washington’s daring, elegant baby bump to Priyanka Chopra’s flowy scarlet gown, the Emmys red carpet was a mixed bag of colour and silhouette
Kerry Washington, deep into her second pregnancy, has been tight-lipped about her due date but the end is clearly near. She dressed for two in a custom, daring black Brandon Maxwell strapless gown with cutouts above the waist and a long train.
Washington, often forced to hide her pregnancies with big coats and big bags on ‘Scandal’, wore her hair big, loose and curly, further enhancing the look.
Joseph Katz, a Beverly Hills stylist, also loved it. “What a chic look. I love what she did with her hair. It was just so cool”, he said.
Sarah Paulson did, in an emerald long-sleeve, plunging-neckline Prada so heavily encrusted she looked otherworldy. She paired her short straight locks with a modular pair of long earrings with jewel earrings that matched her yellow locks. Paulson was nominated in two categories, winning actress in a limited series or movie.
Olivia Culpo, whose biggest claims are being crowned Miss USA in 2012 and once dating Nick Jonas, was in purple eye makeup and the perfect little dress from Zac Posen. It suited her frame and fit her beautifully, hitting above the ankle.
It was embellished with varying shapes of white, sewn-on sequins against a neutral tone that went to sheer at the hem. And it was strapless, offering a sexy lift in the chest with ample cleavage.
The look hugged until just above the waist, opening a tad to a skirt that still flattered but allowed for movement. Her hair was tight and back, lending a starry, starry night quality overall.
