Red carpet catastrophes at the Emmys

The red carpet outside the Nokia Theater Sunday evening for the 62nd annual Emmy Awards featured a harem of Grecian goddesses in white, a bevy of midnight blue ballgowns and way too many dresses that make you go "ugh."

While all of Hollywood made the effort to get dressed up, the fashion police could have handed out plenty of tickets for style violations.

Kudos to the cast of "Mad Men" for taking home the Emmy for outstanding drama series, but I have to ask if the ladies in the cast were insane when they chose those unflattering frocks for the evening’s festivities. Red carpet watchers debated all evening long about January Jones’ shiny blue Versace gown. It featured a strapless, sweetheart neckline and full, short hemline in front with a long fishtail in back. While the bodice fit like a glove, the skirt looked too much like a blue UFO hovering around her tiny waistline.

And shame on Donna Karan for tying Elizabeth Moss up in pale lilac knots, while Zac Posen might as well have tarred and feathered Christina Hendricks. The marabou that trimmed Hendricks’ shoulders and full hemline was a disaster.
