The Szish Dish: Katrina's Red Carpet Report
Aug. 28, 2006 — -- Before dissecting the dashing, the disastrous, and the downright diva-licious of the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards, I would be remiss not to send out serious props to my gal pal Debbie Matenopoulos, who not only looked drop dead in red on E!'s live Emmy countdown show, but also gave a big ol' shout-out to The Szish Dish.
So, with a gargantuan glow of almost-famousness under my belt (or under the sash on my Peter Som gown, anyway), let's get to the dish.
First, the "Housewives" left me desperate for the fashion "wow" factor on the red carpet. … Where were they?
Did they sneak in the back door? Did they get stuck in traffic? Was there an emergency on Wisteria Lane? Whatever the reason, their presence on the much-hyped carpet was missed -- and, admittedly, more than mildly irritating.
Lack of nominations aside, these leading ladies (Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria and Nicollette Sheridan) are some of the most sought-after small-screen sirens, and bailing on the red-carpeted runway (and still attending the show) seems like the ultimate faux pas.
This ensemble cast gets my vote for "Biggest Drama Queens." Even if Huffman looked like a bronzed goddess, I will have to disqualify her from the best-dressed race purely for carpet-skipping.
But, for those well-heeled thespians who braved the near 100-degree heat, here's the lowdown on the hot. … And not so hot.
1. Katherine Heigl: The "Grey's Anatomy" star went with vintage Escada. Katherine has arrived! In the spirit of modern Hollywood screen sirens Charlize Theron, Marilyn Monroe, Scarlett Johansson and, dare I say, Jessica Simpson, Katherine has finally found her niche -- and her "look." The hair, the dress (A++ for a perfect fit), the makeup, the simple jewelry all added up to style icon. Welcome to the party.
2. Sandra Oh: Always ahead of the curve, but never a slave to fashion, Sandra always gets it just right. The feminine, yet subtle frills on the straps of her Vera Wang ensemble will, mark my words, be a trend that will be translated in the coming months.
